Nonureva Really Surprised!

Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Stevieboy666 On paper this sounds a good idea: Warwick Davis, despite his dubious Irish accent, is very entertaining as the witty, deadly Leprechaun, and I love hip-hop, I've seen Ice-T several times live here in the UK. But sadly this film, apart from a few moments, just doesn't work. The film feels flat, the gore & humour isn't on par with previous episodes, every other word is f*** or muthaf***er, it's too long (even at 90mins) & the Leprechaun rapping at the end is excruciatingly bad. Easily the worst of the first 5 films, next up is Leprechaun 6...

tequila101 Is this film badly made? Yes. Is the acting cheap? Yes. Is the music awful? Yes. Is this the worst Lep in the series? Well, no, surprisingly.I was quite surprised at Lep in the hood. This film is a 10 + improvement over the Lep 4 and Back to tha hood, with some things happening and some down falls.The things I liked about the film was that the plot was kept simple. Warwick as Leprecahun is always great to see as he pulls the roll off easily. The action was well down, the dialogue was hilarious and the humor was up to scratch.The aspects I did not like was there were hardly any scares. Now I know by entry 5 it would be useless to make it scary, but like 1-3 they could have made it intense. The film sometimes dragged on for too long. Some moments took themselves too humorously. Humor wasn't always balanced. Because the film's moments and many characters they introduced were all tied in together, it made the humor fall stale. Lastly, it just didn't keep me in all interest like the trilogy.Overall, Lep 5 isn't horrible, but it surely isn't excellent. The first half was good while the 2nd half felt like it was mashed with stale potatoes. It beats 4 & 6, but not the trilogy.P.S: I was surprised I didn't find it boring and pathetic like 4 & 6. That's what I liked about this one (well, a little bit).It's 5.5/10

Wizard-8 With this entry, I have now seen all six entries of this series, so I can say with full confidence that this particular entry is the WORST of the series. Watching it, it becomes clear that there were some problems behind the scenes that made their way to in front of the camera. Take the murder of the pawn shop owner - not only do you NOT get to see exactly how the pawn shop owner is being killed, but we get close-up footage of the leprechaun that's actually used AGAIN later in the movie! There are also numerous script problems (despite FIVE screenwriters being credited.) How does the Ice-T character know about the leprechaun and its treasure when he breaks into the leprechaun's lair at the beginning of the movie? How does the leprechaun, frozen for years, know about stuff like Tiger Woods and 'hood lingo and life? If the leprechaun has the ability to blow someone's guts out with a flick of the wrist, why does he seldom use this power? But even had the script been more coherent and missing all its padding that makes the movie stretch on forever, it would still suffer from rock-bottom production values. Most of the movie looks like it was shot in back alleys and sparsely furnished rooms. The cinematography is out of focus and looks muddy. Except for two rap sequences (a hilariously blasphemous rap number at a church, and the leprechaun getting a rap of his own at the end), there's no gold at the end of this rainbow.

Boba_Fett1138 This movie really isn't much good but with its title "Leprechaun in the Hood" it became an instant cult-classic.In all truth and honesty, this movie is just plain bad. It's cheap, has a weak story but at least it has some entertainment value, which still keeps this movie somewhat watchable. It luckily doesn't take itself very seriously, which kept the movie still quite fun to watch at times.The story just doesn't make much sense and its simply really weak. The Leprechaun characters gets basically wasted in this movie and he's certainly less evil as a character, which is mostly due to the reason that he isn't that much in it. At times he just pops up but you feel that with only a few simple changes to the script, the Leprechaun character could had been cut out completely. I'm glad it didn't obviously, or else we would had to miss out on yet another fun Warwick Davis performances, though it seems he was a bit rusty in this. This movie got done 3 years after the previous sequel and he had done quite a few other movies and television stuff in between, unlike the previous 4 movies, which he pretty much did back to back. Seemed to me that he was still searching for the right tone for the character again throughout the movie.But at the same time it also is its silly story that still makes this movie mostly so fun to watch. It certainly has some cult value in it, with its rapping thugs, living in the hood, crossing paths with the little, green, Irish, Leprechaun. It's such an absurd and unlikely combination that it actually does work out. The movie has basically very little else going for it. It's not being a very compelling movie with strong characters, an intriguing, clever, original story, or any good horror or tension. Instead it's just being a silly, fun movie, that despite being a bad movie is still a somewhat watchable one, like basically all of the Leprechaun movies.All that it's missing is a Snoop Dogg cameo but at least it has Ice-T and Coolio in it to compensate for this.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
