Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings

I bought this for my 5 year old and he loves it. The acting is pretty awful and it's quite painful to sit through as an adult. However, it's your classic good vs. evil fantasy plot. There's no foul language and the violence is mild and fantasy-like. If your child likes Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings type movies, pick it up. You can typically find it in discount bins at super stores.

A friend bought this movie thinking it sounded interesting. After watching it we decided it was one of the worst movies ever. The storyline is cliche as are all the characters. The lines and actign leaving much to be desired. I was left utterly speechless at the of the movie not unable to find the words that expressed how horrible this movie was. If you see this movie RUN FOR YOUR LIFE AND GO SEE A DECENT MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!

There are MANY home movies that are worse, plus a handful of commercial films that have worse scripts and bad acting. There aren't too many that have worse sound.

On the other hand, remembering that the folks that did this one are a small, local group of aspiring film makers, they didn't do too bad of a job in some areas. The stunt work was fairly good for amateurs, the cinematography was watchable, and some (10%) of the acting was passable. The young gal (she was 16 during production) playing the princess was easily the best.

The real question is how they convinced anyone to distribute their efforts, even in the bargain baskets at WalMart.

The bottom line is I got a few laughs at their expense and my kids will be entertained for a few hours, all for just $5.50. And remember, no mice were injured in the production of this film.

...but, one of the most enjoyable movie-watching experiences ever! We watched it the other night and I almost peed my pants.

Yet, I have to ask, why was this movie made? Even though it looks like they only spent about $50.00 to make it, there is no way it could have made money. And, it's not like it is a contribution to cinema. The paper that the script was written on would have been put to better use in a gas station bathroom than actually using it to make a movie. Who thought it would be a good idea to have a character that spoke in stupid rhymes (Tom Tit Tot)? Did anyone else notice that they were too embarrassed to admit that the same "actress" played both the parts of the elf queen and Max's Mom? They credited "Jack Baker" as playing the elf queen. How ridiculous! That said, I just bought it on e-bay for $1.99, so I'll be watching it over and over again for years to come and subjecting all my friends to it.

This was the biggest waste of an hour and a half the I have ever experienced in my life. This was beyond a piece of (you can guess)... In-fact, it was so bad that I can honestly say that it is the worst movie, I repeat THE WORST MOVIE ever put into the bargain bin... I can't believe that the crew that made this "film" (if you can call it that) didn't review it at the end of production and just say to themselves: "Oh wait, never mind I guess it does suck." That really makes me question American talent today and where it is going. AND WHAT'S WITH THE TALKING MOUSE!? If I say anything more about this abomination to modern cinema, I think I just might break something. If you are by some strange stream of events in question about whether or not to purchase this movie, the answer is no!!! I will find you, stalk you down, and lecture you of the modern mechanics of making a decent motion picture you imbecile!!!!!! AHHH!!!! -10/10
