      When Bastian stands in front of the monster spraying it in the face with a spray can, you see Bastian stretching as far as he can, but he still can't reach any further up than the monster's chest. In the next shot, Bastian's hand is in the monster's face.

    Okay...

    Good movie. The thing that bugged me the most was that they went through all the trouble to do a sequel to cover the other half of the book, and then left out HUGE rather important chunks and put other junk in. If it could be done right, I would love to see the book done as a mini-series covering EVERYTHING. For a sequel, I give it high marks. As the other half of a wonderful book, not so high.
