Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings

...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 probably the worst movie ever made. The special effects were terrible. They would show movies of animals and add voice overs to make the animals "speak". The mouths wouldn't move although in some shots they gave the animals food and they were clearly eating to make their mouths move. I don't know what that one person who gave this movie a 10 was thinking. I actually bought this movie because I heard how bad it was to get a good laugh out of it....and I did. The whole movie was clearly revoiced and most of the dialogue didn't match up. I would have given this a 0 but they don't have that rating. I would recommend to find this in the wal-mart bin and buy it and you will laugh yourself to death at the terribleness.

If you like Mystery Science Theater 3000 then you might be interested in seeing Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings.

You will need a few things to properely make fun of this flick. Here's what you'll need:

1. Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings DVD. You can find this flick at your local Wal-Mart in the discount bin.

2. Some funny friends.

3. A camcorder set-up to record only the screen on your TV. Just use a tri-pod or prop it up so that you are recording what you see on your TV. The reason you do this is so that you can record the film and all the comments you and your frends say. Put the DVD in and hit play. After that, hit record on your camera and start making wise on a film that was shot at an amusement part during the off season. Later, when your friends have died, you can watch your version of the film and enjoy.

What's my favorite part of the movie? The part where the talking mouse and Max Magician smoke pot in Max's room, filling it up with smoke. Well, that's what it looked like to me and my friend. "Do you hear sirens?"

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!
