the neverending story ii the next chapter | Year: 1991 Classification: Feature Film Family Directed: - George Miller Actors/Actresses: - Jonathan Brandis - Kenny Morrison - Birge Schade Making Memories It took six years after the 1984 release of the original "NeverEnding Story" to make this sequel. And while not as good as the original, it's nowhere close to being bad either. Jonathan Brandis takes over the role of Bastian, a boy who likes to read. He frequents a kindly old bookkeeper's shop, the same bookkeeper that allowed him to take the NeverEnding Story the first time. While in the store one day, the NeverEnding Story calls out to him. Having already read it once, Bastian wants to read it again. But this book never reads the same way twice. Soon, Bastian is transported to Fantasia, where he must find and name a new threat that is destroying this beautiful world. Many of the characters from the first movie are back, including the Rock Biter, Falcor, and the Childlike Empress. Atreyu is back as well, this time played by Kenny Morrison. Unfortunately, Noah Hathaway (the original Atreyu) left shoes too big for Kenny to fill. But Jonathan Brandis is able to compensate with a charm and likableness that was missing from the first Bastian (Barret Oliver). Overall, this movie does not measure up to the original (that movie set the bar way too high for any sequel). But there is more character depth this time around, which makes us care a little more than we did the first time around. True NeverEnding Story fans will want to add this movie to their collection. Better than the first by far! The first movie was one of my favorite movies of all time, I watched it all the time...but I thought the Batian in it was SOOOOOOOOOOO bad. He was to quite. On this movie, the Bastian is way better and the story is also way better, just like in the book, the second half was better than the first. Xyidea (sorry if I mispelled it) is a much better enemy than the nothing or the wold. She actully is one of hose enmy who befriends the main character and tricks him, and almost persuades him to do things bad, when he doesnt even realize he is doing it. So if you want a better, but more complicated (not for adults , but more complicated than the first was for younger children) then this is the one, Is much better than the first, but I love both. Depressing sequel The first movie was interesting, but this just gets weird. Pretty bad acting by most involved too, including the main kid. Corny lines don't help much either. "Letrayel...get real!" This is truly the movie that never ends. Buy The Neverending Story Ii The Next Chapter at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
