Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Andreas Johannessen This movie is a mess, with ridiculous effects and terrible acting. I love it. It's about a kid who goes to Faraway land by way of flying, bearded head and finds out he is the prince of this land. In the course of what feels like two days he defeats the ultimate evil in the land by way of being the main character. It may be worth to mention that I hate the book, but love this film. While they are almost the exact same, the movies outdated effects and terrible acting adds to the strangeness you find in the story. It becomes more about trying to piece together what's really going on. It is the perfect movie to place your kids in front of if you want something wholesome, but when you get drunk with your friends to mock it, the movie is awesome.

Armand Delicate, subtle, as a spring wind. A trip in the childhood colors, with the map of a gorgeous music. Nothing new, nothing spectacular. Two boys and the victory of good. A sword and two worlds. And the music as Proust madlene. A film who must be tasted by everyone. Not only for remember the beauty of a far age but for be more than a shadow. A film for understand the essence of life. Like a hopscotch in the grandparents yard. Christian Bale as Yo-yo, Chistopher Lee as Kato are bones of a time when the life was not a chase, not fiction or frustrations. And,an important piece is the language. In Russian the entire atmosphere is soft and warm.

Filmgalen I was 9 years old when this piece of crap was released at the theaters in Sweden. I loved the book and I still cannot believe that Astrid Lindgren sold the rights to these filmmakers (she later made the same mistake with the animated Pippi Longstocking). Several of her books had already been adapted to TV and cinema prior to this, with Swedish directors, screen-writers and actors. All of those adaptations are far superior to this one. This is just stupid and has lost all the subtle nuances, the moods and the atmosphere of the book. I remember realizing this at the age of 9, and that should give you an idea about how stupid this movie is. As for the music that everyone seems to love...IT IS PURE CRAP. Panflute player Dana Dragomir is one of the cheesiest musicians I know of, and the music is just a sweet, sugary mess. These are thoughts I also remember having in 1987. Horrible. Please, remake! Why not animated by Miyazaki, who is a big fan of Lindgren, and one of the few who seem to understand that less is always more. And please, everyone read the book instead of seeing the movie. This might be one of the worst adaptations of all time!

Mark Gonzales I was trying to compose a list of the ten worst films ever for my school newspaper. My list was composed of the usual films (i.e. Battle Field Earth, etc.). But it was when my friend gave me this film that I was forced to rethink my existance. This film is terrible. Never in my life have I ever heard such terrible dialogue as "Who did this...no...don't tell me. I know. I have known all along." This trite and painful story is not even worthy of the boys from MST3K! Avoid this film at all costs! So to answer the question, it was at number three.
