Summary: The Best Family Movie Ever
Review: I find that this movie(part 1,2,and 3)is rare and ought to be loved by every child in the world.It is a fantasy land and every child has fantasy dreams(mom's and dad's too).I think this type of movie should live forever in our hearts and dreams.

Summary: At least it wasn't Antonio Sabato, Jr.
Review: I saw this movie first when i was 8 years old (it had just shown for the VERY FIRST TIME on the Disney Channel.. remember, this was in 1991..) I had no clue what The Neverending Story was, nor did I have a clue who any of the actors were. I loved this movie. Every time it was on the Disney channel, I'd park my butt in front of the tv to watch it again. 2 years later, I fell in love with the character of Lucas in SeaQuest DSV. Same actor.
Yes I know I'm very off topic there. Both SeaQuest and NES2 have some things in common. You have to take them with a grain of salt. I did say i saw this one first. I went out and rented the first one. I loved that one as well. I went into both with a very open mind. Only this summer did i buy the book (which i highly recommend). In one brief summary, I knew what the book was about, and that Part one of the movie was like the first half of the book, and part 2 was the second half (remember how Bastian started out as a lil chubby kid then made a wish to be a handsome kid? there you go! part one and part two!). Something that stuck with me most in that conversation was "Well at least the actor in Neverending Story 3 wasn't Antonio Sabato Jr."
Take my advice. WATCH THIS ONE! Watch the first one too! They're both great. And STAY AWAY from the third one. The only problem I have with this is that they waited too long for sequels. By the time they came up to the third one (1992 or 1993 or 1994) our young Jonathan Brandis was in his late teens. And the child from the first one (Barret Olivier?) was too old for the second one since they waited five years to make a sequel.

Good movie though. I don't have the DVD. I have the first and second video. I may just buy them on dvd.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Sequel.
Review: I still like this movie but I liked it more when I first saw it as a child in 1990. It seemed more mystical and fantasy like than it does now. The movie actuallly looks a little cheesy and fake. The character Xayide if thats how you spell it looks pretty but she did some pretty bad acting. The Child Like Empress doesn't have a name? I thought she did. All in all it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. The DVD is nothing spectacular and is worth the purchase if you love the movie.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The Neverending Story 2: The Lousy Sequel
Review: I thought that this was a terrible sequel. Why did they had to make a second one with different actors? In my opinion, I think this second one wasn't very good. I thought the first one was more exciting then this one. I also thought the movie was more like the Wizard of Oz. This is why give this movie one star.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Fun for Kids and Kids at Heart
Review: I thought this movie was a little sinister at times but it turns out o.k. I liked the costumes. The special effects left a little to be desired. Over all it was enjoyable. The acting wasn't the best but young people don't seem to care as much about that.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: first one's great
Review: I too have been an avid fantasy reader since childhood, and loved how this whole movie related to reading. I always felt like I was that little boy (althought I'm female.) However, I didn't find the second movie nearly as enchanting because it was more of a generic children's fantasy....and all the characters were different. It's alright for little kids though.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Shoddy Sequel
Review: I've seen all the series and a book. First one is no doubt a masterpiece but second one is quite a failure. This is based on the second half of the story and has more important message than the first half where the first movie is based. According to the book Bastian is so charmed by fantasy world and keep making wish he forgets even who he is and how to get back to the world he belongs. This movie however is following similar steps to the first one (what is the difference between "nothing and emptyness"?) forgetting what has to be done. Artrayu this series is closer to the book I think. Second one is more forgettable than the third which has tried original story. Because it is better to read a book. But Neverending Story has more future if the directors shed the effort to start from scratch. Let Miyazaki do the series.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: NO stars for gutter trash, i.e. Neverending Story II
Review: If the first one never ended, why did they make a second one? Neverending Story II is a mindless profit piece aimed at kids with no imagination or attention span. Full to the brim with rehashed unimaginative plot lines and dumbed down dialogue, this sequel proves to be nothing more than a forgettable summer entertainment film. The poor quality of this flick does a disservice to the original The Neverending Story, which was an enchanting work of art and one of my favorite movies.
