Featured reviews
This move act like craziness. I don't like this kind of animated movie.
Why is it that all the 8 and up reviews are made by people who all created their account in the same month. Seems kinda shady to me.
Went to see that with my kids. We were all totally bored. Biggest attraction was popcorn.
It might be because I was under the influence, seeing as how alot of people seem to have hated it...but I actually didn't mind it? I mean yeah it wasn't great, there were some pacing issues, especially in the beginning. But I certainly wasn't bored watching it, I actually laughed a couple times. I'm not super familiar with the original show, but from what little I've seen I recognized alot from the movie right away. The show wasn't bad either honestly. The world the movie is set in really is kinda trippy and is really unique. The characters, while some of them could've probably used work in the looks department, were at least dynamic and had shown character development and change by the end of the movie. Overall with more budget and and better pacing I think this movie would've been alot more popular.
This is the remake of a semi obscure TV series from the 60's, a Saturday morning cartoon for kids that not many people remember, so much so that they even changed the title in many countries to A Wizard's Tale, seeing that few people got the reference. Saying this movie is fifty years too late is an understatement. But that would be besides the point if the movie had a good story, a good animation and was fun. But, unfortunately, this is not the case. The story is banal, the animation is horrendous and that makes for a not very fun movie.
