Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

mtrahan97 This movie is a marvel to say the least. The first Leprechaun was such a horrible movie that I went into this without any trace of hope. I've seen Children of the Corn sequels okay? I know what I'm in for. This seemed like something I would loathe being on my screen. No one is more shocked than me that I actually consider this a... good movie. Not a guilty pleasure but a... GOOD MOVIE? This is a movie that fixes 90% of the problems from the first movie. The pacing is miraculously improved, the acting is improved, the humor is improved, Warwick Davis is better, it is more creative, it does a better job exploring and parodying Irish myth and lore, and it has... wait for it... likable characters!!! Imagine that!!!Sure, finding a wife is no better a premise than finding gold, and wrought iron as kryptonite makes as much sense as a four leaf clover. Also some things in general don't really make sense and you get a bad line reading here and there. But good god, I was actually not annoyed this time! How refreshing. If I caught a Leprechaun and received wishes, one would be that they just released this in place of the first movie. Jennifer Anniston didn't need that film. I didn't need that film. It is a complete waste of time and should be skipped at all costs. This one, however, is actually entertaining and stands on its own as a fun horror comedy. I can only hope that the later sequels can hold on to this quality.

lost-in-limbo What am I doing watching this film? I disliked the first film, and I've seen "In Space" which was completely stupid. So far what I've seen, hasn't clicked. This first sequel is an improvement, but not by much. Mediocre at best, nothing flashy. This time there's some sort of narrative attached, if trivial and slight, but it bears no relation to the first film other than having Warwick Davis' fiendish leprechaun returning to cause havoc. Dead bodies begin piling up and the jokey humour looms large. It clearly plays for cheap laughs and jolts. This time it's set in the big smoke, where the centuries old leprechaun finds himself in Hollywood on St Patrick's Day to claim a bride who sneezes three times. This feature is playful, crude, risqué and mean-spirited, but moves at a welcoming pace. The make-up effects stand-up really well and the set designs, especially the hidden lair demonstrated some visual candy. In the title role Davis is having fun, spitting out those witty puns and it shows with him being truly being unrecognisable in costume. While the rest of the cast are acceptable, without making all that much of an impression. Although Shevonne Durkin sure was easy on the eyes. Still there are a lot of TV stars showing up in small/cameo parts. The eccentric set-pieces do standout more so than the story, but there is some creativity and twisted ideas around its daftness. Too bad I find it all to end on a whimper though, after a smart gag to outwit the leprechaun.

atinder Is back again! This movie was no were near as decent as first one, which was just about decent with fun factor put in there. This movie did not have any of fun factor that first movie had, The lead girl in this movie, which wide eyes and Scream, . Which was way over the top.After that, I knew I was in tough ride. As ^ That was first scenes, as the movie went on, I got bored of it. I left the movie on and started doing another things as well, I Don't think there was one scenes that I actually liked in this movie.The acting was really bad in this movie as were the effects and the dull plot! 1 out of 10 (This is were series stopped for me. Even had 3 Beers before this movie, was drinking my 4th beer while it was on, that didn't even help!)

Christopher Smith I caught this for the first time in years as part of Syfy's Saint Patrick's Day movie marathon today and, despite expecting the absolute worst, I was somewhat surprised that it remains mildly entertaining. It's still not a great movie at all, but it's not quite as bad as its reputation. If nothing else, Leprechaun 2 is a major improvement upon the first, and definitely the best in the Leprechaun series.Director Rodman Flender opens the picture well enough with a prologue that takes place in Ireland. The prologue and the opening credits sequence are goofy, fun, ridiculous, and unfortunately, also the best part of the entire film. Once the two teenage protagonists are introduced, the next 75 minutes or so never measure up to what came before it. From seeing Rodman Flender's much more enjoyable later work like Idle Hands, it's hard to tell just how much of Leprechaun 2 is supposed to be intentionally bad. Warwick Davis is creepy as the evil leprechaun (though the make-up on his face looks like Play-Doh), but some of the other performances are so wooden that I wouldn't be surprised if Flender wanted the acting to be bad as part of the "B" movie tradition. As with the first Leprechaun flick, the characters are annoying which makes it hard to really care for any of them. The story itself is decent even without a whole lot of logic to the proceedings. What hurts the flick more than anything is the poor effects. Whether it's the fact that the film is almost twenty years old or the film didn't have the budget it probably needed, everything looks super cheap, so much so that I find it hard to believe this received a theatrical release. Scenes that could have been cool or scary end up laughable and groan-worthy. The big scenes that don't rely on special effect are rather well done. The bar scenes and the go-cart scenes are the most entertaining to watch, mainly since they are the few parts that show some creativity. Despite the many flaws, Leprechaun 2 is still better than it could have been considering that it's a sequel that was produced and released a mere year after the original. Besides, any movie that features random appearances by both Tony Cox (of Bad Santa fame) and Michael McDonald has at least a little value to it. Recommended for Saint Patrick's Day viewing only. 5/10
