+      "review": "First off, this is a kids movie so certain allowances should be made for its rubbishness. But I expect that the majority of 7 year olds would find High Noon an unrewarding and painful experience.The film concerns a group of extremely unscary baddies who decide that world domination can be best achieved by hijacking an amusement park. Two things prevent the villains from carrying out their evil plan. Firstly, the bad guys find themselves easily defeated at every turn by three children and Hulk Hogan. Secondly, those aforementioned bad guys are morons.The three children are, of course, the 3 Ninjas. They defeat fully grown men in martial art combat at every turn. Particularly remarkable, since one of the kids appears to be about four years old. Of especial note is the second youngest as he sports a haircut that is so abysmally misguided it makes Billy Ray Cyrus's mullet look tasteful. It is a bowl-cut/pony-tail combo; two haircuts from hell all on one head - it is truly horrendous and should really not be seen by younger viewers.An interesting aspect of the movie is that despite the fact that the fairground has been hijacked, no one seems to have informed the extras. They carry on enjoying the rides as if nothing has happened. As I said earlier, the bad guys are essentially idiots, so its just possible that they have not got their heads round the technicalities of hijacking. But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter as the film is not exactly convincing in a general sense.Do I recommend it? Not really but it is an ideal birthday present for a child you dislike.",

+      "review": "There two types of bad film.... a)a film so bad you turn it off immediately or b)bad films starring hulk hogan that you have to watch to amuse yourself. Hulk plays Dave Dragon, some old guy who is not very hard and not very funny - and basically the bottom line of the film is some female terrorist tries to take over a theme park. They fail, thanks to some geeky kids who apparently know martial arts. The most annoying thing though is how easily grown adults get beaten up by pesky little kids. This film is so bad, but, fair play, I watched most of it so it achieved something in that sense. Enjoyable if you like ripping it out of bad actors and rubbish plots.",

+      "review": "Old sea maps used to leave a warning on the outer edges of the charts. It would read: \"Here be monsters.\" I wish such a message had been written before the opening credits. Oh, actually it was, but it was in code that I deciphered too late to save myself. It was the part which read: \"3 Ninjas High Noon at Mega Mountain.\" WOE! WOE UNTO ME!!!!I'm a man with, admittedly, unusual and quirky tastes when it comes to film and film actors/actresses. I like a lot of character actors because they tend to get the most interesting variety of parts. I really loved Victor Wong's career. Memories of his performances in films like 'Tremors,' 'Prince of Darkness,' and especially 'Big Trouble in Little China' (with another favourite of mine, Al Leong -- the Wing Kong Hatchet Man!!! *LOL*) have put me on a quest to see as much of his work as possible.A quest that died Saturday afternoon just past.This deeply regrettable, dreckish, foul excuse of a film and the knowledge that Victor Wong appeared in three other incarnations of it is enough to sour even the strongest movie-goers stomach. Victor's appearance in this awful thing is mercifully concentrated in the opening of the film. It gives him no chance to show off any of his inimitable charm and Victor Wong looks like a tired old man weighed down by the two hardest words that any actor will ever have to listen to: Contractual obligation.Music: insipid. Direction: insipid. Plot: insipid. Dialogue: insipid. Acting: hit and miss.The kids all deserved better than to be stuck in this film. For fear that they will track me down and beat the heck out of me with their ninja skills, just let me say that they all gave academy award worthy performances. Exhibit A: the two younger brothers manage to keep a straight face and wait -- holding their fight stance -- for thirty seconds as the three bad guy adults struggle to get out of their costumes and dress up again so that the kids can yell \"NINJAS!!!\" I don't blame the kids for this despite the fact that they were as unwatchable as everything else here. This film will bore parents to death so unless you want orphans, avoid, avoid, AVOID!!!Victor Wong (let me return to a bright light for a moment) died after this film. Jim Varney, who also appeared in this film, has also since died. You may draw your own conclusions.Varney, in all fairness, is probably the best thing in this film. His performance takes him in a scene-stealing direction with a bad guy turn. Out-acting Loni Anderson, Hulk Hogan and all three ninjas, he easily comes across as a bully who is picking an acting fight with unarmed opponents ... I said I wasn't going to blame the kids... this wasn't their fault, this wasn't their fault ...Final Verdict: (un)watchable... BEARABLE only for those who are die-hard Wong or Varney fans. Also bearable if one chants over and over again the words: \"this too shall pass.\" All others should give a miss with extreme prejudice.",

That said, the rest of the film was poor, with the three kids not even comprehending the basic rules of the ninja (as in STAYING UNSEEN AND SILENT!). The fight scenes were static and bland.

This is one movie where I was actually wanting the villains to win, because of the annyoing, constipated sounding screeching noises that \"Tum-Tum\" was making for karate yells and what not.

At the end, the bad guy offers a fight deal against the grandpa when he is his prisoner. If the bad guy had half a brain, he would have simply kept him as a prisoner. When the ninja kids do their moves, they do not look realistic and they do not actually hit the targets when they do the moves, but the bad guys get hit anyway. Also, to hold off the criminals in their home, the ninjas give two of them diarrhea?? How lame is that? DO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE!!! IT STINKS!!! This movie is currently on my top 10 of worst movies of all time. Oh, by the way, the kids looked like they were 3 yrs younger than before and the middle aged boy's hairdo gave me nightmares.

I defy any child to be content with this dross, and if any adult enjoys it I'm sorry but the men in white coats are coming with the special jacket.The plot is nonsense, the dialogue stomach churning and the acting worse than anything seen in a Friday the 13th movie.

The first was a very fun spin on the Karate Kid series, the second fit right along with the first and was a good sequel, but this one? Horrid.

Anyone who payed to see this movie in a theater was robbed. It still amazes me that this could have been printed, honestly, the movie is just one stupid gag after another, one's we have already seen and are tired of.

The plot is ridiculous & other posters have done a good job at pointing out the shortcomings so I'll keep this brief. As someone alluded to previously & after a secondary viewing last night re-enforced, it is quite comical how the \"terrorists\" go through extreme measures to get into the park (ie; having a ship offshore, jet skis, scuba diving, underwater lasers etc,) when they could just pay the nominal fee to gain access to the park! That was great. Hulk Hogan as always, is a crowd pleaser. I like at the end when he knocks off the tops of the underwater breathing apparatuses with a single blow & they masquerade as oxygen diffusing projectiles! Jim Varney obviously was funny in his role as the antagonist, no doubt ashamed to be cast in such a lousy movie. And the three \"ninjas\"? Don't even get me started. So cheesy with the Ayais! over & over. Terrible actors, but it all adds to the ambiance of a wonderful film, albeit low budget & misconstrued, unintentional comedy. Would highly recommend, & it goes without saying that a solid buzz while embarking on such a journey will no doubt add to the enjoyment derived from this little gem. Cheers!",

+      "review": "I'm sure when this movie came out it was the greatest disappointment of whatever season it was released in. I'm sure the intrepid masses of casual movie-goers teeming with anticipation for the latest 3 Ninjas spectacle felt betrayed on a deep and personal level akin to having a father register you for the navy. While this movie may not be the best in its class and may suffer from numerous flaws (rancid acting, unrealistic plot, pathetic villains, stanky clichés, annoying ninja kid grunts, Hulk Hogan's dialogue, Hulk Hogan's wardrobe, Hulk Hogan) it still maintains one splendid aspect which I find delightful no matter how many times a week I sit down and pop this VHS in: its soundtrack.Yes, Howard Bucket may be one of the most under-recognized composers of synthesized film soundtracks. I bought this soundtrack on cassette in 2001 and have never felt more satisfied spending a dollar twenty five. Bucket shows a diverse range of emotions, from the go-lucky tune of \"Ninjas and a Female Geek\" to the dark and menacing track \"Varney's Villainy\". Who could refuse the heroic and uplifting tone of \"Dragon's Theme\"? A personal favorite of mine is \"Hogan Gets Captured Again\". The whimsical and bouncy nature of \"Bad Guys Get the Money\" forms a stark contrast to the dramatic almost nerve-biting \"Realistic Battle on Top of a Roller Coaster Track\", a technique that bands like Radiohead and Smash Mouth began to employ many years after. And who can forget the pen-ultimate track \"Tum Tum Eats the Flesh of the Fallen\"? Yes, this soundtrack is truly as epic as the film it was made for, but of a much higher quality! You see kids, soundtracks don't require a gigantic team of cameramen, directors, producers, writers, engineers, actors, more writers, actors' parents, and technical consultants. Soundtracks require only one lonely thirty three year old in a studio with a synthesizer. And a lot of heart.",

+      "review": "1992's \"3 Ninjas\" was a really cool movie, back in 2nd grade! I felt that it would of been best to leave it alone. But, like all money hungry executives do, they have to go and make 3 lame sequels that overexpose what made the first one successful: fighting. And I don't know what the hell the filmakers were doing while shooting these movies and casting the stars? I guess they filmed the third one right after the first and intended for that to be the second one, since the kids in it are the same as the kids in the first! (still with me?)But overall, this is the worst of the four. Was it supposed to be a prequel or something, 'cause all three kids look about 5 years younger than in the previous movies. And even if it was a prequel, the filmakers obviously didn't realize the kids don't get their names until later. Please don't rent this movie to enjoy it with your kids or yourself. Rent it to make fun of it with a friend or sibling, but beware, it might bore you or cheese you to death before you finish it!!Note: A black belt doesn't screech out a high-pitched \"HI-YA\" when doing something like throwing an egg at a bad guy or cutting a rope that releases an anvil or something of that sort that black-belts don't do.",

While at the theme park the three ninja brother's & Amanda become aware that it has been taken over by a group of thieves, armed with guns & in complete control of Mega Mountain they hold the owner to ransom. The three ninja brother's decide to fight back & with the help of ageing television action hero Dave Dragon (Hulk Hogan) take on the criminals, can they save the day or will the bad guy's win?Co-written & directed by Sean McNamara this rather violent & childish slapstick action comedy that isn't particularly great & pretty silly at times but I found it passed the time if nothing else. The script is a sort of childish Die Hard (1989) but instead of ruthless criminals there are bumbling bad guy's, instead of the high rise building they take over an amusement park, instead of a tough cop hero there are three bratty child ninjas & their geek female friend & instead of a wisecracking Bruce Willis we get a tired looking Hulk Hogan as a washed-up television star (art imitating life maybe?). Here in the UK this film was quite heavily cut by around four minutes for scenes of nunchukas, head butts, ear claps & a kid wetting himself & having just seen the uncut version I am not sure what to make of it, 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is definitely aimed at a young audience with it's silly slapstick action & childish humour so the high levels of violence did sit a little uneasily with me. From the head butts to kicks & punches to sword fights & even a scene in which a young boy throw's darts at a man. Just think about how incredibly dangerous that is for a minute, seriously if someone threw a dart at you & it hit you in the face you would be in big trouble & another worrying aspect of 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is that none of this violence ever has any consequence. The guy who gets a dart thrown at him just catches it in his mouth, punches, kicks & being pushed off rooftops seem to cause no sort of injury to anyone & maybe it would have been better if the makers did emphasise how dangerous these techniques are. As an action comedy it moves along at a decent pace, it's silly & not particularly coherent (where did Amanda get that remote control helicopter from at the end? Why is everyone at the park enjoying themselves it being run by armed criminals?) & it's pretty predictable & safe in that the good guy's win & the bad guy's lose.The fights are played mostly for laughs with bumbling bad guy's being beaten up by kids, there's an exploding boat at the end & not much else in the way of action. One also has to say that Mega Mountain amusement park has some really lack security, I mean Amaanda manages to take explosives, razor sharp throwing cards, a razor bladed yo-yo & a remote control helicopter inside her backpack. Mega Mountain also seems to have many brilliantly placed CCTV cameras that track exactly what armed criminals want & from perfect angles.Filmed at Elitch Gardens amusement park in Denver in Colorado, rather sloppily made with poor continuity & lacklustre production values. The acting isn't great, the three ninja kids are terrible while Hulk Hogan seems bored & Loni Anderson is the main highlight as the whip cracking leather clad Medusa but what is someone dressed like that doing in a kids film?3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain is a silly & childish action comedy that is probably a bit too violent for a film aimed at children & implies that violence has no consequence.

It all failed in that.Three brothers who happened to be in an amusement park will save the day because the amusement park is taken over by terrorists!

If this is a family oriented movie, why in the world did they have her dress in that skanky leather outfit that was far too short? Terrible casting as far as Loni goes. She was supposed to be the evil Medusa but I didn't buy it. She just didn't have the quality of pulling off the 'bad guy' type of role. She was much better on 'WKRP in Cinncinati'. I got a little tired of Tum Tum's 'Ay-yahs' after a while. They were too high pitched and over done. All 6 stars go to Jim Varney. I was actually rooting for Lothar to become successful in his mission for he was the only one of the bad guys with the brilliance to pull off the heist. He easily outshone all the stars, as usual. He always gives 100% to whatever role he played as you can see here. Jim and Victor were the two best actors in this movie. Maybe if Jim had cast and directed this, it would've been a bigger box office success. The man was a brilliant actor and a genius.

They really cut corners on this one: For example, in the first movie, the kids seem to be pretty good at this karate stuff. You have to kind of suspend your disbelief when the youngest attacks anyone, because you can just see him getting picked up by the scruff of the neck and hung up to dry until the fight is over. But it's a kids' film so that's not really a spoiler. And there is a lot of \"Home Alone\"-type stealth-fighting on the kids' side to help even things out. At the time, I saw the original actors from \"3 Ninjas\" on the \"Tonight Show\" and they seemed to really know karate, and were pretty charming for kid actors.By contrast, in this last abomination, you can see in the fight scenes that there is no contact, and frequently there is cheap, obvious, camera speeding up to make it look like a real fight, not choreography. The littlest one, who is even younger than he was in any of the other movies, (there are all new actors for the kids in this movie, a big mistake, and what's up with the mullet/ponytail on Colt? Even knowing karate he's going to get his ass kicked with that haircut! I'm gay but that look's too faggy for me. I mean, really! Butch it up a little, will ya?) In a good kids' movie there is something for the adults, too. But this movie doesn't really have much for the kids. Bad acting by Hulk Hogan and the kids, bad, bad, bad writing and directing, the earlier mentioned fake fight scenes (maybe these kids could take on an adult who didn't know karate, but for them to beat an adult NINJA, just because they have been trained by a cliché-spouting grandfather, and have an FBI agent father? I don't think so. And amusement park rides aren't designed so they can be stopped upside-down and remotely release the passengers, which is the so-called terrorists plan. It's called safety engineering, meaning, there is no situation where you would WANT to be able to do that, so you don't design your system to BE ABLE TO DO THAT! Of course, then you don't have a movie, if you can't do that. Of course, you would have to GET CLEVERER WRITERS! There's a few good lines from Loni Anderson and Jim Varney, although they both come across as somewhat incompetent. Can't have real, know-your-stuff terrorists around to scare the kiddies, now, can we? Guess not.As it happened, this movie came to North Carolina Cable TV around the same time I saw my first episode of the Middleman TV series, which happened to be the one about aliens hiding on earth disguised as people addicted to plastic surgery. When I first saw Loni Anderson, with her artificially plumped lips, probable-cheek-implants, probable-face-lift, probable-Botox, probable-etc., I first thought she had the same makeup as the aliens did in the Middleman episode. Then I realized that this was how she really looked. Scary. Probably too scary for a kids' movie. I know it was for me and I'm near 50.Summary: For a good karate movie, see the first \"3 Ninjas\" movie, or possibly the next two. Skip this bomb. Also the \"Karate Kid\" is good, esp. the first one (see a pattern here?) Someone tried to squeeze the last dime out of the \"3 Ninjas\" franchise; hopefully it is completely dead now.

While Tum-tum is still a young boy, Rocky has moved onto girlfriends, and Colt is merely stuck in the middle. Not only that, Tum-tum's Favorite Saturday morning hero, Dave Dragon, is about to cancel his 15-year long superhero show, due to low ratings and loss of interest. His final appearance will be at the Mega mountain theme park on tum-tum's birthday. So Tum-tum wants to go, and his older brothers tag along with their new friend, Amanda, who seems to be an expert on Computer Programming, hacking, and complex electronics. while at the theme park, a group of mercenary Ninjas, led by escaped convict, Mary Ann rogers, AKA Medusa, take over the theme park and threaten to harm it's people, but will let them go in exchange for a large sum of money. Will they succeed in their evildoing, or will the 3 ninjas save the day?OK, Upon seeing this movie a few more times and reading other comments left by users, There's lots to say now. First and foremost, i see 2 obvious references to mid-90s Role Playing games - First, look at Colt's hair. not only does it look ridiculous, it's a bad rip-off of Hero-class Bowie from shining force II, A sega Genesis RPG from 1994. Also, look at Amanda. Doesn't her character seem familiar to another girl from a 1995 SNES RPG? she does have thick glasses, knows her way around complex electronics and computers - Kinda like Lucca from Chrono Trigger maybe?Secondly, kids movies of the 90's can be totally remembered for kids outsmarting adults and leaving a trail of laughter in their wake. It started with Home alone, from 1990. Then it carried throughout the 90s, but around the mid-to-late 90s, the cliché got really old. this movie feeds off that cliché like Michael Moore feeds off of McDonalds.Thirdly, The aged stars of our show. First there's Hulk Hogan. Now i love wrestling, to me, it's entertainment and should not be looked at as a legitimate sport, cause it's not. Hulkamania was still running wild for the hulk at the time, he was in his 40s (if this was filmed in 1997, released in 1998, and hulk was born in 1953, he would've been 44 years old. For the most part, his acting isn't really believable, but his larger than life character in the ring more than makes up for it. then we have our other aged star, Loni Anderson. this was a few years after her divorce with Burt Reynolds, and i gotta admit, with all the leather, the make-up, lipstick, and sexy cougar voice, I was still turned on to her. How old was she around the time of filming? Well, she was born in 1945, making her 52 around the time of filming. Hot damn! But her acting skills in this film are as follows...Fourth, Loni Anderson might as well have starred in a porno, cause her acting skills, are totally unbelievable. And adding onto another user's comment, The Dialogue between Loni and Chelsey (Amanda) feels like watching a lesbian porno, about an aged beauty queen wanting to have her way with a young woman.So the bottom line, 3 Ninjas; High Noon at Mega Mountain isn't what you'd call a memorable film, i'd prefer the term \"Boring Saturday afternoon fare.\" it's totally forgettable, the only reason i'll ever remember it is because Loni Anderson was a total cougar in it. I'd rather remember hulk hogan for his Wrestling matches.1/10",

We have the classic conflict between older siblings wanting to be cool and the younger ones acting like kids. We have the three bumbling bad guys who get beaten up by little kids. We have the phony TV superhero becoming an actual hero. We have bad guys with guns who seem to never use them, nd if they do they never hit anyone. The list goes on and on, however there are other kids movies that do all of these things so much better, in 3 Ninjas it just becomes corny. The only original thing (not counting the other 3 Ninja films) is the fighting but that ends up being nothing but several minutes of three kids repeatedly shouting \"Ai-ya\". This clearly suffers being a sequel produced solely to cash in on the franchise. I say, go see the first one and skip this.",

The first film was brilliant and the actors actually knew martial arts and what they were doing, all having done it from a young age.Unfortunately the second and third films were released the wrong way round so you get ninjas with new heads in the second film and the original heads in the third film, and both films were financial disasters.Despite this somebody for some reason now lost in the mists of time decided they wanted another 3 Ninjas film and the result was 3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain. It was filmed in 1996 but not released until 1998, and because kids have this annoying habit of growing up, the characters needed new actors.Unfortunately the plot was ridiculous. A theme park that's been hijacked and everybody else apart from those paid to speak continue to wander around aimlessly and quietly from ride to ride, as if nothing was up. A common trend in kid movies is bad guys who are blatant morons, yet somehow get themselves attached to an evil overlord who puts up with all this and then wonders why their evil plan falls apart.It perhaps stands to reason why many films decide a trilogy is enough. By the time a fourth film comes along the concept has usually been milked to death and/or has been handed to writers and cast who have no concept of what went before and try to reinvent things, usually with limited success. While it was plausible that the older Ninja would decide one day that kicking ass wasn't \"cool\" any more, it wasn't plausible that the middle one would lose in a fight with a lawnmower and end up with that haircut!Unfortunately the presence of Hulk Hogan, Jim Varney and a brief cameo from Victor Wong can't fix what was always going to be somewhat depressing compared to what came before. The best actors on the planet can't save a bad script. It's not completely unwatchable, it was bearable but ultimately disappointing because it could have been so much better, all of the 3 Ninja sequels could have been. But we are where we are so...

Considering how similar all this looks to \"Pocket Ninjas\" (the #4 lowest ranked film on IMDb's Bottom 100 list), I knew I was in for a painful time!Soon after leaving grandpa's house, the three annoying brats go with their friends to an amusement park that is about to be taken over by the lamest villains in history--Loni Anderson and Jim Varney as 'Medusa' and 'Lothar'!! And, oh God say it isn't so, it's up to the thee kids AND Hulk Hogan to save the day. Can it get any worse?!?! Well, with tons of lame stunts, tons of special effects and minimal acting, the answer is YES! To show the FBI that they mean business, once the baddies take over the park, they make certain rides go SLIGHTLY faster!!! What beasts!! In fact, while there is lots of punching and kicking, this is only family-friendly violence--so the kids naturally win and no one shoots, stabs or even tickles their opponents. Because of this and the constantly insipid writing, the film is a total bore to anyone older than about 6.So should this movie be on the infamous Bottom 100 list? I think probably not for two reasons. First, very, very young kids will enjoy this insipid crap--and to me, a film should not be on the list if it is in any way enjoyable. Second, the production values are not that terrible and the film makes no attempt to be anything more than it is--a dopey little film that would most likely make a parent kill themselves or the kids if they are forced to watch it!!",

A group of bad ninjas just happen to be attempting to take over the park for a ransom while they are there. The bad guys are led by Madusa(played by Loni Anderson) and assisted by a rare non-comic Jim Varney, who actually does a pretty good job as a villain. The movie starts with the 3 hero's doing a pretty cool obstacle course at their grandfather's place but learn a valuable lesson when he turns off the power and then makes them attempt it backwards. The lesson they learned, supposedly, is not to get a big head because they aced it going forwards but couldn't cut it backwards without power(believe it or not!!). This is later used by the guys in the final showdown with the baddies, which kind of brings their lesson back to them and creates kind of a purpose for their grandfather's teachings. I won't let you know what happens the 2nd time, in case you want to watch the movie yourself, but you can probably guess.

+      "review": "This is essentially Home alone 1 meets die hard in the sleaziest theme park in America. Yet the henchmen in this movie make Marv and Harry from Home Alone 1/2 look like green berets and or the American Seal Team 6. This is such a bad movie you'd need to be under some sort of influence to enjoy this. This starts off with three kids who are in this torture like room where you almost think it's Saw. They are all dressed in ninja gear and pass through this obstical course. I don't know why but I just think that the grandpa is disappointed the children didn't die. I wish I took a picture of my face to see my disappointment that the three \"ninjas\" aren't even old enough to buy cigarettes or adult beverages as they blurt out their 1990s rad out dated one liners.As crazy as it sounds though like it's insulting to get a little 9 year old like Michael (Tum-tum) beat you up but the kids can fight to a certain degree, the fights are better choreographed than some action movies from \"heroes\" two or three times their age. That's about all the nice I can say about this movie.The soundtrack is this whimsical spew of nonsensewhy is the guy who does Ernest goes to camp (Jim Varney) in this. At least if they make a remake John Cena can be in this.Why is the grandpa Asian. I'd have a better time believing the kids have an African grandpa. They have no facial features or anything to believe it. Even the mother of the boys doesn't look THAT Asian. I guess it wouldn't be 3 ninjas without some racial stereotyping. Sorry, sorry (takes deep breath) I swear I'm not a \"woke\" millennial. The actor who plays the grandfather looks so greasy like his hair is so oily I could fry egg rolls if I ringed his hair out in it.One of the boys has some sense. He is turning 15 and wants to get a car instead of going to grandpas to get \"ninja training\". The grandfather overhears it and is all disappointed. He drives them home and it's the littlest one tum-tums birthday so they all go to this third rate amusement park which is when this nonsense hits the fan. The dad has such a bad wig on.The CGI is dreadful they even edit over the tv screens. Were too lazy not to put the Hulk Hogan tv show on the tv, how hard would it have been to burn off a DVD what? Did they not have the budget. They had to spend it somehow as they didn't get any famous actors or actresses in this other than Jim, whatever the medusa actress was as she had a lot of IMDB credits and so forth. Why is the fat bad guy in so many shots?Hulk is such an idiot in this. With his outfit he looks questionably straight and sort of like a pedophile as hateful as it sounds with his outfit and his hair especially and by SOME CHANCE tum tums birthday he wants to go to that amusement park to see this creepy guy. It'll be his last appearance as Danger Dave or whatever his name is. I'll just call him diddler Dave.. actually no. Hulk.Now we cut to the kids in their room and they have what look like real weapons on the wall. What a great mother.The helicopter the girl flies into the window are her parents on Valium I'm sure a lot of peoples parents would freak out if the first moment they are in a new neighborhood their daughter breaks a window with her stupid toy helicopter. But remember everything is so lazily written I mean convenient. Oh yeah that 200$+ window is coming out of her allowance.Some reason the fat bad guy reminds me of Hurley in the tv series Lost. I guess there is a stunt double for everyone out there. The bad guy played by Jim Varney if this movie had a budget or a better script could have been Tim Curry or possibly Jean Claude Van Damme. When I saw the bad guys I immediately thought to myself tell me this movie failed.There is this one bad guy with a really awful wig in it that may have been purchased from the bad wig store that Michael Angelo Batio the guitarist, James Christian who sings for a band called House Of Lords , guitarist Jeff Beck got their wigs at. It looks so fake and stupid looking. Why would he wear it. I'd seriously go bald.At first it seems the Hulkster is too ashamed to be there and is in street gear so he can pretend he's not interested and then woosh he strips down to his questionable outfit that is just awful. If I had kids I wouldn't let them near the hulkster in that. I actually wonder why Hulk would ever sign up to be in this movie. I mean he was still in WCW as far as I know. He HAD to be making enough money to be able to say heck no brother! Did the steroid company he uses make him do this movie as a front to launder steroids. I'm getting a little ahead of myself! But thankfully that wig comes off. Hulk Hogan gets beat up and knocked out like 2 or 3 times in this movie. I know it's a kids movie and the kids are the stars but this is just insulting.The bad woman is like this dominatrix who looks like a washed up ring rat, stripper or something. She wants to sabotage the park unless she gets 10 million dollars which it'll take more than that to fix her face to make her pretty again.I love how the ONLY time the bad guys are called ninjas is in front of the boys these two or three mid life crises men \"strip\" their street clothes into ninja gear in front of the children. After that there is as much talent as there is this amazing film making and ground breaking story telling as well as originality.I love how the bad guys are firing AK47 looking machine guns into the sky, telling the cops to back off and think it's a good idea for these men twice the kids age to try and beat them up. However calling anyone in this movie ninjas is just insulting. I've believed worst WWF and WCW gimmicks over this and especially today that is saying something!It was so lazy how they sped up the footage in the roller coasters, then again I'm sure someone over 10 is not supposed to have seen this.The nerd girl in this movie and her silly weapons, I don't know why she isn't on the 3 boys fathers FBI watch list. She turns out to be this computer expert hacker.. can they share the drugs they were on to make this movie with me? How are they the only ones in the park that know that it's being over ran by \"ninjas\" an AK47 firing shots in the park and being surrounded by police isn't enough. They even lock all the doors. I've seen riots happen on the news for less.Jim Varney makes his presence known, he's so hardcore he steals a kids ice cream.What upsets me is, again it's a kids movie, but the bad guys have guns! Sure the whole point is the older kids don't want to be ninjas and this inadvertently makes them want to again but still. The bad guys have guns. Why don't they use them!The scene where the bad guys throw up must be after they read the script. Seriously why are there 4 of these? The only part I'll remember from this is when someone pees their pants in this.Why are the bad guys allowed to get photos of the kids that aren't theirs. Oh cool here ya go bro. I don't care if you're pedophiles or not. Every line the black girl with the other ones girlfriend she just wants the girl to break up with her boyfriend. Is she jealous? Does she want to date the blonde girl.Oh wow the second time they fire off the guns the crowd hears them. One nit pick I have is when Hulk gets punched out the second time NONE of the kids seem to care and it isn't until some 4 or 5 year old heckles Hulk Hogan that he becomes this bullet proof hero.Where did the nerd girl have time to hide her helicopter. Why is she this super hacker and how the HECK do you teach your 10-ish year old daughter how to diffuse a bomb. Does that come up before or after the morning cereal. To defuse a bomb they snap a part of the cable off her crappy laptop. That would not work getting rid of the ground prong and would most likely destroy her laptop thinking somewhat long term or worst case scenario not charge. Though I am still recovering brain cells to remember what I know about electrical engineering. That whole scene with the bomb is insulting.Seriously how did this come out? It's just awful. A straight to VHS or DVD I'd be ashamed to show my face or brag to girls or guys I was a part of. Even if I catered sandwiches there.Is there spoilers probably not, I'll put it anyways. This movie is so predictable it's not even spoilers.",

+      "review": "*may have spoilers*First things first, I enjoyed the first \"3 Ninja's\" movie and found it a bit entertaining as a child. the sequels however stunk, but the first 2 sequels did something right that part 4 failed to do, make the children seem to age. that's the first major strike with 3 Ninja's High Noon at Mega Mountain. Rocky looks about the same age, Colt looks around the same age and looks like he lost touch with reality with that hair style (please ditch that) and the worst of them all was Tum-Tum. it's not the actor's fault because he tries hard, but when i see the first movie and then the last, Tum-Tum looks younger and more fit. Tum-Tum is supposed to be big, not slim.Another major issue with this movie is the plot. the plot of villains hi-jacking an amusement park isn't a bad idea. the bad idea though is that a lot of the things they do aren't really reality based. there's no way on Earth that a bad woman would be able to hack a roller coaster ride and turn it upside down like it occurred in the movie in that time. they should've made it more believable. also when the bad guys finally reveal themselves, it shows that some people (i guess) didn't hear that the park was hi-jacked as there are people still riding rides.and finally another issue is Hulk Hogan. He's just not a good actor and in this movie, he's just kinda there to provide a few fight scenes until the over acting Loni Anderson knocks him out or captures him. then at the end, the kids give credit to Hulk for saving the day when the best thing he did was hit a torpedo that the kids created. this movie wasn't awful though because Jim Varney at least was having fun and i DID enjoy the female characters they made. Rocky's girlfriend was fine as she was there to look pretty and depend on Rocky while the boys' new neighbor Amanda did her part well as the Velma of the group by being smart with computers. if the movie actually did better with picking actors who were older, then this movie would've been better. the biggest issues couldn't give it a better grade than 4. if you enjoy a good laugh, then watch this movie because Hulk will crack you up...i still don't understand how Jim Varney can't tell that Hulk Hogan is following him.",

+      "review": "That math problem sums up this whole movie. It is \"The Karate Kid\" divided into three smaller karate kids. Then you times that by zero effort and you get one big fat goose egg of a movie. It is the fourth installment in the 3 Ninjas saga, and it is by far the worst. The other films I will review in time, but this is the big one. This is the one that everyone hates. It has terrible acting, terrible fight scenes, and an awful story. When it comes to the acting the only person I liked was Jim Varney, but that is not enough to make up for the rest of the cast. As you would expect the child acting fails completely. The 3 ninjas are all annoying especially the little one. As for Hulk Hogan I didn't hate the performance, but it is exactly what you would expect. Then we have the action which is terrible. It goes for fighting that is practically slapstick instead of actual fighting. That is something I hate about a lot of kung fu/karate movies. So many of them just go for laughs from kiddies instead of actual honor for the fighting. It insults it, and if I was a karate teacher I would spit on pieces of trash like this everyday. In my opinion martial arts should stay in the more adult categories. The only true exception I have seen for these largely kid friendly martial arts movies is \"The Karate Kid\" that's it. I can't wait for a day when another film like that comes around and shows kids what the art of combat is about instead of constant shots to the balls. Until then we get this. Also another thing terrible about the fighting that is unbearable is how they have weapons with knives, but they never use them. I know it's for kids, but if there is a terrorist in front of you and you have a knife that guy is getting stabbed. Have stabbing or lose the knives in my opinion. Also the fighting suffers from those cliché noises that are made when you make a punch. It gets really annoying quickly. Now we move on to the plot. It really all seems like an excuse to have Hulk Hogan. They might as well call it \"Hulk and 3 Ninjas\". He was what sold the film in the first place, but I am going to try and explain the plot. The ninjas go to an amusement park, and it gets taken over by terrorists. The only hope is the 3 ninjas, a smart girl with glasses, and Hulk Hogan......(3 hours of laughing later) Yeah that is one of the lamest excuses for a plot I have ever seen. Then we have dialogue which just like the fighting suffers from way to much childish humor. The jokes are very repetitive. The movie just isn't funny. I'm not going to give this film a 0 star rating. It's bad, but at least it isn't \"Pocket Ninjas\". Just saying the title of that movie makes me shiver.1/2 of a star out of 4",

Even my favorite Tum-Tum couldn't even save the film.The action - As a child might like it. If you have watched the other ones it was still somewhat reasonable and funny to watch the three boys beat up henchmen.Overall - I don't know if they were trying to go for the staple of oh look they took on three goons in 2 of the movies they must want it again just no don't ever do that. Do i think its watchable maybe if you're having a few with the friends or baked because I found myself skipping forward 5 seconds every 5 minutes.

+      "review": "Sure! Here's a 600-word rewrite that expands on your original thoughts while keeping the core sentiments:---Is this movie a piece of cinematic schlock? Oh, without a doubt. The production values are laughable at times, and the acting is so wooden you'd think the cast was collectively auditioning for a high school play. The plot? An absolute train wreck-a jumble of clichés and half-baked ideas that seem to have been stitched together by someone with a questionable understanding of how storytelling actually works. Yet, despite (or maybe because of) all of these glaring flaws, I have to admit that I absolutely loved this movie when I was a kid, and even now, it still holds a special place in my heart.Let's start with the acting. Watching it as an adult, I can't help but cringe at some of the line deliveries. The hero grunts his way through his lines as if he's been force-fed a steady diet of action movie one-liners, while the villains sneer and snarl like pantomime baddies from a Saturday morning cartoon. The supporting cast doesn't fare much better: there's the obligatory comic relief sidekick, whose jokes are so corny they'd make a dad joke sound like high art, and the love interest who seems to exist solely to look good while running away from explosions. Yet, as a kid, I didn't care about any of that. In fact, I think I found the over-the-top acting kind of endearing, like everyone was in on the joke even if I wasn't.Then there's the plot-or what passes for a plot. It's one of those \"so bad it's good\" scenarios, where the story is so absurdly convoluted that it almost defies explanation. There's a treasure map, a secret society, an ancient curse, and a ticking time bomb all jammed together like a cluttered attic of ideas. Characters make decisions that defy logic, villains monologue for hours about their evil plans, and the hero manages to stumble into victory through sheer luck and an overabundance of plot armor. As a kid, though, I was captivated. Every twist and turn felt like the most thrilling thing I'd ever seen. I'd sit cross-legged on the living room floor, eyes glued to the screen, my heart racing as the hero escaped yet another ridiculous trap or narrowly dodged a completely unnecessary explosion.But beyond all the flaws, this movie had something that I think a lot of '90s films had-a kind of scrappy, carefree spirit that's hard to replicate. It didn't take itself too seriously, and maybe that's why it resonated so strongly with me. There's a certain charm in its wackiness, in its willingness to embrace the absurd and run with it. It's a time capsule of the kind of filmmaking that defined a generation of kids who grew up on rented VHS tapes and Saturday matinees, where imagination was king and a good time was measured in popcorn and laughter rather than awards and critical acclaim.Whenever I rewatch this movie, it's like stepping back into my childhood living room. I can practically smell the microwaved popcorn and feel the worn carpet under my feet. I remember the excitement of renting it from the local video store, carefully reading the synopsis on the back of the case as if it held the secrets to the universe. I remember the thrill of pressing play and being transported to a world where anything could happen-where the hero could swing from a rope, punch the bad guy in the face, and save the day without ever having to worry about things like plot coherence or believable character arcs.So yes, this movie is schlocky, the acting is bad, and the plot is nonsense. But to me, it's also a beloved piece of my past, a reminder of a simpler time when all a movie needed to do was make me smile. And for that, I'll always be grateful.",

Young Tum Tum skill shows heart though, but is that enough? Anyway, for Tom Tom's birthday, they all go to theme park Mega Mountain to see television star Dave Dragon in a live appearance. However when terrorists seize control of the park and demand $10 million or they will start causing accidents among the customers. With the gates locked down and no help on the way, the boys find themselves calling on their ninja skills after all.OK, I wasn't expecting this to be Die Hard but I was genuinely surprised to find out what passes as kids' entertainment in the eyes of some makers. I had to check IMDb during it to find out if it was a TVM or not and again was shocked to learn that this made it into cinemas, yes, cinemas. It actually got released and was shown to a paying public as opposed to just let out on television. Personally I do not have an issue with the idea behind the film because kids will always love to see their peers beating adults. I'm sure many parents will have concerns about letting their children watch something with lots of fighting and kicking in case they imitate it, but I'll leave those concerns to them (even if I do agree with them). So in theory this should be a silly and fun martial arts film for children.However this is so cheap - lacking originality, effort and fun that I did wonder if the audience didn't deserve something better than this. The mixed group watching this on a lazy afternoon hardly let out a chuckle or any sign of enjoyment. The martial arts action did show that the movement is well done but that is about it. I expected the plot to be daft but it is daft to the point of being painful and it just felt churned out like a bad panto – the basics with little for kids and nothing at all for adults.The cast are roundly poor although this was almost always going to be a given. The kids can't act to save their lives even if they move well. Botuchis is unconvincing, Roeske is unbearably saccharine while O'Laskey looks absurd with one of the worse haircuts I have ever seen. Hogan looks so cheap that his wrestling days look like Shakespeare in the Park as a result – he is terrible and really should have more dignity about him than this. Anderson is poor and given little support by Jim Varney. Wong's last film on earth? Shame. McNamara's direction is TVM standard at best and the cheap incidental music just makes it all feel worse still.Overall, a popular one for inclusion in the bottom 100 on this site and it is indeed rubbish but it didn't have to be. The idea could have been fun if done properly but it is cheaply delivered in every regard and lacks any sense of fun, wit or imagination, leaving it feeling like it has been churned out as part of a money making process without a care for the audience (which, on this evidence, it exactly what happened).",

The main thing that I did not like about this movie was that 3 different actors play the 3 ninjas. I think that the writers and the rest of the crew felt that the original actors were to old for the parts which I felt was ridiculous, why couldn't they have the original actors go to an amusement park as teenagers and young adults I don't see anything wrong with that, everybody goes to an amusement park, and if they are going to use 3 different actors why couldn't they find kids that resembled the original actors none of these kids even came close to looking like the original actors. I don't think that the director and the rest of the crew took the time to audition kids I think that those 3 kids were probably selected through a raffle or something. The only thing that they got right was the grandfather and the parents. If you have seen the first 3 movies then you might as well see this one but let me warn you you might be disappointed.

It is a movie to be viewed by anyone who is really interested in Ramayana. Hats Off to all who contributed in making this movie. The characters are portrayed very beautifully . The best part is every detail of the original Valmiki Ramayana has been shown which also makes it very informative. Also the songs make the whole aspect of the movie complete and provide entertainment. I specially like the music which has been composed by Mr. Vanraj Batia and the lyrics of the songs are very meaningful although they are is Sanskrit. Only flaw is that , Ram was a very powerful personality and that is why people used to like him . So ram's character should have been portrayed in a better way. But never mind that I like the efforts put in to make such a great movie. The best part is a Japanese Person made a movie on an Indian mythology!!",

I have already watched the Ramayana series by Ramanand Sagar which is an epic, but it had told the story in a number of episodes... while here we got the main story of prince Rama in 170 minute, although it didn't cover the whole epic but it still amazes me. The voice over actors did their best especially Amrish Puri, the gravitas his performance gives this movie is just amazing. While Arun Govil who've played Rama in Ramamnand Sagar's Ramayana before seems very suitable for the role. His voice just gives that nostalgic factor to me and many who have seen the old series.And now let's talk about the animation... Its marvellous especially if we compare it with those produced in India even today. The hand drawn animation gives it the feel no computer generated image could compete with. This movie has give me some best memories of my childhood and that is why i still remember it.

It's always interesting to learn about the animation of other countries and this film, apart from being a well known piece of Indian animation is actually part anime as it was literally collaborated on my Japanese animators. It's weird, because I know little about the relationships of those two countries. I know very little about Hinduism, but am always glad to learn something new. This movie features the tale of Prince Rama fighting against the evil Ravana. I know little about the actual Ramayana poem, nor about the Vedas or any of the Hindu holy text in general.The only thing that was familiar to me was the brief mention of chakra, which has been referenced in various anime. Well, it only fits as it is part anime. I think it's great to see a movie that combines two Asian countries. The animation in this film is absolutely gorgeous. You can definitely see some anime influence but it's still unique to the style of India. I love how Rama is actually smart and attacks Ravana while he's regenerating. Granted, he couldn't just do that forever, but he's smarter than most protagonists. I am glad to watch this movie to understand Hinduism more.I remember taking a course in religion awhile back, which is probably the most familiar I am with Eastern religion. I think it's great to learn about other cultures. I don't know if I'm offending any Hindus with this review. I just wanted to watch a great movie and that's what I got. The designs are all great. It's hard to really praise the plot or anything because it's based on a classic piece of literature I am not familiar with.

+      "review": "Introduction:\nI discovered this film very recently, and what interested me enough into watching it, was the exceptionally high IMDB rating. Holding an 8.7 on the sight, it is the highest rated animated film on the website. And while I don't entirely agree with that, I can say with confidence, that this is still worthy of much praise. 'Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama' is an excellent example of good anime, and something I would recommend to any beginner just getting into anime.History & Plot Synopsis:\nIn a sort of collaboratian between both Indian and Japanese filmakers, with a budget of 13 million in USD. Completed in 1992, the film was screened in both Nations and released on home video. Later, an English dub was created and also released on home video.The film is an anime adaptation of the Hindu epic known as, 'The Ramayana'. As the title character of Prince Rama' fights a war against the wicked King Ravana.The Story:\nAdapting a story as famous as 'The Ramayana' is no easy task. As the film needs to stay accurate to the iconic Hindu epic. However, this film adapts it with flying colors. While the film is quite long, clocking in at almost three hours, making it the longest animated film I've ever watched, the movie requires the running time to fully flesh out the story. Telling the tale as accurately as it possibly can, the film is able to respect the source material and succeed as an adaptation. And someone who likes fairy tales and fables, as well as epics and myths of all kind, I appreciate these stories and love it when they are adapted the correct way.While the film is as I mentioned before, almost three hours, it doesn't feel as long as it is, and that's a long movie should be. It shouldn't feel long, or at least be enjoyable throughout, so you don't care about the length of the film.The Characters:\nThis film pitch perfectly adapts the characters from the story of the epic it's based on. King Ravana, the wicked King, is portrayed perfectly, as he would use any excise to declare war, to expand his own power. Rama, the courageous prince, and the hero of the story, roped into a situation where he's forced to go to war. And many of the other characters are all well adapted and very interesting in their own respect.The Animation:\nThis is sadly the weakest aspect of the film. While not bad, it isn't the best quality, and from the highest rated animated film on the site, I aspect something a little better.Again, I'm not saying it's bad, it's okay. And yes, the animation doesn't have to look amazing, it can be okay. However, I also aspect something a little better from an anime. As someone who loves anime, part of the reason I love it is because of the excellent animation, which gives me a higher standard for anime than any other kind of animation. And from an anime, I want great visuals, and the film simply doesn't have that. Other than that, this film is great example of how good anime can be.",

+      "review": "I am giving 5 out of 10, because of the effort spent on excellent Animation. Other than this, there is nothing good about the movie. The Movie is filled with historical and cultural inaccuracies. Few of them I'd like to share here:1. Without any idea of color discrimination, Ram was not 'White' as shown in the movie. He was more brownish-bluish. Colloqually, I think we can say he was Dark-Complexioned.2. His Younger Brother Bharat did not banish him. In Older times in India and still in some part of India, it is rude and a gross dis-respect on the part of younger brother to say against his Big brother. The Director, I think just could understand or was unable to portray the role played by Rams Step mother Kaikai and her servant(or Daasi, Manthara)3. During Sita's abduction, there was no struggle between Ram and Ravan.4. When Laxman was mortally wounded and Hanuman went to bring the Medicine, he could not recognize which medicine to choose, because they all glittered in Darkness. I think we are too much rational , that is why we fail to understand things that predates even our thoughts.5. The Biggest and most arrogant mistake of all. Ravan and his family and his forefathers were not Daemons at all by birth. Ravan was one of the most learned human being that walked this earth. He became a daemon by his deeds. His father 'Sage Pulatsya' was a man of great penance. His younger brother 'Kumbhakarn' was also a very learned being. All the time during the battle and after he abducted Sita, he knew that he has in fact abducted his own death, but he went ahead for the sake of his prestige. He wanted to show the world, to get rid of his tyranny and tortuous way of ruling, God himself have to take birth in human form and get rid of this world of his evil deeds. Any ways, thats what the actual 'Ramayan' says. Ravan was a 'Brahman' by birth and not a daemon. People need to understand that just by being born in a noble family does not makes you noble, you have to prove yourself by your deeds or 'KArma' and Ravan was daemon by his 'Karma' and not by birth or 'Janma'.People need to see 'Ramayan' which ran as a TV series for more than 2 years in India.

Bollywood seriously needs to learn from this movie, Japanese makers have more knowledge than Bollywood.There's a correction in the movie. Vanara's army has been continuously called as Army of monkeys, which is false. Monkeys were called Kapi or Markata in Sanskrit. Kishkindha, kingdom of Vanara's is current day Hampi, Karnataka. In Sanskrit 'Vana' means 'Forest' & 'Nara' means 'Man' which literally means Men of the Forest. Many misunderstands that Vanara's came only from Kishkindha to war. But the truth is on Sugreev's order, Vanara's came from whole of the earth such as Vindhyas, Tibet, 'Ilavarta-varsha', a place where there was dark and light for 6 months i.e Polar regions as mentioned in Valmiki Ramayana. According to Valmiki, Vanara's were even described as 'Kapi-Kunchara' which means Elephant sized Monkeys in Sanskrit.Description of Vanara's in Ramayana exactly matches with Anthropological features of Neantherthel men such as big and sloppy foreheads, residing in caves, humaid bone, hairy bodies, protruding jaw bone, etc. We can still find interconnected mountain caves in Hampi even today, which was residence of Sugreev's army. Neantherthel men said to gone extinction by atleast 2,30,000 years by modern researchers. Tails of Neantherthel men were never proven to be existed as tails had no bones and flesh of the tails decay sooner.NOTE: Ramayana is an 'Ithihas' i.e. History not any mere mythology. 'Theory of Evolution', 'Homo Sapiens (we) evolved only 200,000 years ago' - All these are western scientist's statements. As Vedic culture is the only culture, which describes history beyond 10,000 BC, the world is described well in both Ramayana and Mahabharata.Jai Shree Ram 🏹",

+      "review": "TL;DR Animation's decent, adaptation is B. S.After witnessing the travesty that is Adipurush, I kinda went down a rabbit hole and ended up discovering this film. The cross between Japan's anime and India's Ramayan sounded surreal...and then I watched it. Here's my take.The animation is much higher-quality than I initially expected, though at times it feels more like TV animation than full-fledged movie animation. For the most part, it's a good marriage between the Japanese anime style and the typical Indian portrayals, breathing life into the visuals. I'm not a fan of the cartoonification of the rakshasa, which look like silly humanoid bat things. I also feel that they play around too much with the whole \"multiple arms/heads\" concept, which is supposed to by symbolic, not an actual physical thing. Though, the anime interpretation of the vaanaras and Shri Hanuman is really good!The story leaves something to be desired, as well. An entire epic needed to be crammed into 2 hours, so it's understandable that a lot of details had to be left out; but in comparison to the Ramayan show by Ramanand Sagar, the story in this film feels totally watered-down. Every important event only lasts about 30 seconds. It seems like they prioritized action scenes over meaningful dialogue; so the story is reduced to a nice little fairytale, deprived of the spiritual and moral significance of every character's every action. And the scenes near the end of the movie, leading up to Raavan's demise, are entirely altered from the scripture!Overall, it seems like a fine entertainer for kids. The fusion between a Hindu epic and Japanese anime would almost be a dream come true, if it weren't for the extensive creative liberties and the awkward pacing. It feels less like they wanted to convey the story accurately, and more like they wanted to make something entertaining; it seems like they treated it like ancient Greek or Roman mythology, something that they could just pull any random details from and create any context they wanted, thereby spoiling the wisdom and depth of the original text. But still, it's a work as unique in the world as the original text itself, which certainly counts for something, right?One thing I would highly recommend, though, is to NOT listen to the god-awful English dub-the English voice acting is so beyond garbage, that it will literally ruin your experience.

I understand that the story is legendary in nature, and while I don't share the belief system it's based on, I do appreciate stories with strong narrative arcs, moral struggles, and cultural richness. However, despite its promise, this film is a mixed bag.First and foremost, the animation is undeniably impressive - especially considering the film was released in 1992. A co-production between Indian and Japanese studios, the movie brings a vivid, almost ethereal visual style that blends traditional Indian motifs with anime aesthetics. The fight scenes are dynamic, the cinematography is thoughtful, and the overall atmosphere is often quite beautiful. The background score and songs are soulful, and there's a distinct charm in the simplicity of their arrangement.Another strength is the character design, particularly of the Vanaras (Hanuman's tribe), which manages to retain a mythical essence without leaning too heavily into caricature. Hanuman's presence brings energy and emotional depth, while the visual symbolism occasionally delivers moments of silent poignancy.Unfortunately, the story - the heart of any epic - is where this film stumbles hard.While I understand the difficulty in condensing an epic as vast as Ramayan into a two-hour movie, the narrative pacing feels rushed, stripping away the emotional gravity and moral complexity that the story is known for. Important scenes flash by without development, and the characters - especially Sita, Lakshman, and even Ram - often feel like sketches of themselves rather than fully realized individuals. The film sacrifices nuance for spectacle.There are also cultural and historical inaccuracies that are difficult to overlook. For instance:Ram's complexion is shown inaccurately as pale, whereas he's traditionally described as dark-complexioned - often blue or brown.Bharat did not banish Ram; rather, his role in the original story is one of sorrow and respect for his elder brother.Ravan's character is reduced to a mere villain, neglecting his complex origins. The film ignores that Ravan was a Brahmin and a highly learned individual, becoming 'demonic' through his actions rather than birth. Such simplifications are not just inaccurate - they erase key philosophical aspects of the original Ramayan.Iconic moments like the abduction of Sita or Hanuman's search for Sanjeevani are either altered or underplayed, removing both spiritual weight and narrative tension.As someone who respects storytelling across cultures, I find it troubling when sacred or meaningful texts are flattened into mere \"action-adventure\" tales. The spiritual and moral lessons of Ramayan - which give it its timeless relevance - are lost in this adaptation, replaced by simplistic good-vs-evil tropes.And don't even get me started on the English dub - the voice acting is so lifeless and awkward that it borders on comical. If you must watch this, go for the Hindi version with subtitles.Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama is a visually ambitious and technically respectable piece of animation that deserves credit for its artistic value, especially considering its time of release. But as a retelling of one of the most revered epics in South Asian culture, it falls short in depth, accuracy, and emotional resonance.For someone unfamiliar with Ramayan, this might serve as a surface-level introduction. But for anyone who knows or reveres the text - or simply expects a faithful, meaningful adaptation - this film is more of a missed opportunity than a masterpiece.",

I love those songs. Even BGM is quite interesting.CINEMATOGRAPHY - the viewing angles to present animation is superb. Even, this kind of thing is missing from present animations. I will recommend you to watch this thing carefully and you will recognise their effort.REVISION - this movie is best for revision of ramayan and those people who don't know anything about ramayan will get a rough idea about it.CHARACTER DESIGNS - these are so cool and after knowing the fact that this movie was released in 1992, i got surprised because the character design surpass or equal to today's animation.ACTION - the war scenes are also amazing and worthful to watch. They contains different tactics which are cool. In short, they are not boring in nature and doesn't feel like of old age.ANIME - i watched this movie, because it is one of the earliest prominent work of the indian animation. And i am right, because in some places, this movie gives you anime vibes and you don't feel this movie as a failure or out of the place.VISUALS - the way they show the visuals is amazing. If you use your brain while watching to concentrate, you will find that some visuals has very deep meanings. I mean that visuals are enough to give you a message without any use of dialogues, narrations, musics etc. I saw this technique in \"your lie in april\" too. And i love this thing.Negatives :-STORY - i know whole story of ramayan even from my childhood. So there is no point of judging the story as we all know what will happen next. But i found that they fast forward the story many times. But it is not their fault, because they have to compile whole ramayan in a single movie.DUBBING - i feel the Dubbing quality low. The way characters are talking and their expressions is weird.Presentation - in some aspects, the movie doesn't present the story in a better way.DON'T WATCH - i will recommend you, that don't watch this movie, if you already knew the whole ramayan deeply because story of the movie doesn't provide you anything new about ramayan.",

The style of the drawing is not especially detailed, but it is vivid, colourful and flows perfectly from scenes of isolation and intensity to the grand battle scenarios and a flying chariot (that reminded me a little of the \"Thief of Bagdad\" from 1940). The story itself is the stuff to make Machiavelli blush - intrigues, betrayal and treachery all feature as \"Ram\" has to thwart the evil ambitions of his nemeses - and the powerful \"Ravana\" isn't his only one of these! The score has a slightly classical style to it that works well with rich string arrangements assisting the artwork to do a fair degree of the heavy lifting and helping keep the dialogue from rambling.

The storyline is changed to a disrespecting level. With the new dub,it's even more dislikable. Animation was good according to 1993 but the story changes are not acceptable at all.Let me list them one by one: -\n1. Lakshman Rekha was made with rice instead of Arrow marking.2. LANKA was shown black instead of Golden color.3. LORD RAM killed KUMBHKARAN with a sword, similarly Meghnaad using sword to fight LORD LAKSHMAN. No bow arrow used in fights. Where were divine arrows and Nagpash?4. RAVAN was killed by using a \"Sudarshan Chakra\". Can you believe that?? Where Did LORD RAM got Sudarshan??? What happened to the AMRIT KALASH inside RAVAN?5. Ravan's Army which for some reason is full of big BATS, are using Tank like vehicle and Vimaan like a spaceship.... with Arrows having GRENADE head.These are just few of them.

While an animated movie does give you some flexibility to recreate scenes it also brings its own challenges.In this movie, the dedication of Yugo Sako is visible in each and every scene. Clear efforts have been made to understand the source material in depth and then translate it to the animated story such that it remains true its origin in both form, material and more importantly in its spirits.While there could be some complaints about the quality of animation, I would say given the budgets and the time period in which the same was done, it is still laudable.To me some of the best scenes that still capture my imagination are building of the Ram Setu, Bharata and Shatrugna realizing about their father's death, the war. Each is so magnificently done that you end up watching it multiple times.I feel the movie will remain the standard for time to come and hope the movie is made available to today's audience via streaming and other services.May.

The movie does a great job of capturing the essence of the Ramayana unlike adipurush where they have changed the basics of ramayana to show it more modern, while also making it(yugo sako wali) accessible to a younger audience. I love the way the movie portrays the characters of Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, and Hanuman. Rama is a perfect example of a hero, he is strong, brave, inspirational and compassionate. Lakshmana is his loyal brother, and Sita is the perfect wife and queen. Hanuman is the monkey god, and he is a loyal friend,devotee and ally to Rama.The movie also does a great job of depicting the challenges that Rama and his companions face. They are exiled from their kingdom, they are forced to fight a war, and they are even separated from each other. But through it all, they remain faithful to their principles and to each other.

Rama, the hero, exemplifies how to uphold integrity and moral strength even in the darkest times. This film beautifully weaves timeless values with the grandeur of the Ramayana epic, showing that wisdom and compassion often have more power than any weapon or army.One of the most remarkable lessons it imparts is that when we walk the path of righteousness, even the smallest creatures (like a squirrel in the story) become allies in our journey. Conversely, when one strays into darkness, even the mightiest-such as the giant Kumbhakarana-cannot prevent downfall. The film celebrates the power of an \"ordinary\" man's courage and devotion, showing how unwavering faith and selflessness can empower one to overcome even the strongest, most godlike adversaries.Beyond the battle scenes, this movie captures the deep love between Lord Rama and Maa Sita, the loyalty of Hanuman, and the unwavering support of Lakshmana. It is a story of relationships defined by devotion, sacrifice, and respect. Watching this film is like stepping into an era of Indian history, gaining insight into the values that shape Indian culture to this day.Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama is a must-watch for anyone who loves epic storytelling, values cultural history, or seeks inspiration on how to face life's greatest challenges with grace and courage.",

Animation is really great and beautiful, the best Japanese animation you can get, and definetely the 90s were the golden age of Japanese animation, i think the style in this movie influenced a lot Hayao Miyazaki later works especially Princess Mononke, i found a lot of simillarities between these two animated masterpiece, also what i like in this animation is the music, it is beautiful indian music and the epicness with it even gets bigger. This was ultimate experience and i recommend this one to anyone who loves Japanese animation and is interested in ancient civilizations and cultures and their original epic myths. My grade 9/10.",

The one thing that can break through my critique is the \"soul\" of the film. What defines that soul, you ask? To me, it's when the writers and directors deeply understand the laws of karma, ethics, and their interplay with human emotions. When this understanding is present, it creates a captivating flow in the narrative. Ramayan: The Legend of Prince Rama captures this perfectly. Beyond that, it excels in portraying the characters, crafting beautiful scenery, staging thrilling action sequences, and delivering impactful dialogue. While it draws from Valmiki's original Ramayana, the creators have gone to great lengths to preserve its essence, something many adaptations fail to do by taking too much creative liberty. Finally, the Hindi dubbing is outstanding- the cast's emotional delivery gives me goosebumps in several key moments.",

Ill admit I thought I knew what I was getting into when I saw this movie. I knew that it was National Lampoon and how that name no longer means what it did in the 70s and 80s. I knew that it was staring Paris Hilton so that I shouldn't really expect anything majestic. But I thought that it would be a more or less fun 90 minutes if i wanted to watch a simple brainless sex comedy with lots of fart jokes. Boy was I wrong. There is nothing good about this movie. Not the story obviously or the acting. But I was almost stunned to see how bad the rest of the movie was. It was poorly edited, the quality was awful. One whole scene took place in a white room and the walls were so bright that I couldn't even see the characters. (unfortunatly I was still able to hear what was being said.) Now I'm not the type of person to normally go around bashing movies without reason. But I almost feel that I cant review this movie other than to repeat that it was bad bad bad.

No-one who isn't past puberty can find this funny, I watched this with 3 of my friends. We all like high school movies (we all go to college), especially when we are hung over from last night which we were when we watched this \"movie\".First we wanted to shut it off and go watch paint dry, but then some randomly placed (very nice) T&A came in to the picture and we decided to continue watching. We didn't understand anything about the plot and if you do, you have probably written the manuscript. There is no logic at all in this movie.This is what I believe that the movie is about: Paris Hilton is the head of some girl sorority, her biggest dream is to be on the cover of FHM (soft-playboy) and now she has her chance. FHM have a competition where the most beautiful sorority gets to be on the cover, awesome! But (oh no) the sorority has to have a nerd girl too so now they have to let in a group of nerd-girls in the sorority.Actually the only thing that kept us watching was that every time one of us started to complain about how bad this movie was one of the girls in movie showed her titties. Kudos to the director who actually saw when the movie sucked so bad that titties was the only thing that could save the movie. There are a LOT of randomly placed tittie-scenes which have nothing to do with the \"plot\" in this movie. And they're needed.This movie has no logic, actually not even scenes that fit together, it is for no one that isn't IN puberty, the few laughs you'll get is when the movie makes so little sense that it's actually funny. The girls in this movie are very nice tough, but they don't manage to make it watchable.Unless if you really-really like tits, then maybe this movie can make you not vomit. If you do like tits (I know I do) rent American Pie 5 instead, it's funnier. Or rent porn, it has better acting.",

This film, technically speaking, isn't that bad--it looks professional. But, it is also the ugliest and most shallow film I have ever seen without a single thing to recommend it.The film stars Paris Hilton and she also narrates much of the film. The premise is that she's the ultimate hottie and she goes to South Beach to help a sorority become hot enough to win some pointless award. And much of the narration consists of her finding fault with everyone and it abounds with her put-downs, as no one could possibly be \"as hot and sexy\" as her. She forgot to also add \"as narcissistic and pathetic\".Here are a few of the highlights in this uplifting and sublime film: a bathroom where the toilets and sinks become geysers of liquefied human waste and it spews on everyone, an Indian lady who learns about the joys of a vibrator, a lady showing off her horribly scarred breasts following breast surgery, stereotypes as opposed to realistic characters (such as the obligatory fat girl with a suitcase stuffed with snacks and the religious zealot), some anti-lesbian and anti-woman remarks/jokes (I'm not super-sensitive about politically correct stuff and still it clearly offended me to hear women referred to that way), bestiality as well as the crudest language I've ever heard (not funny crude, just classless and crass). Clearly, the film shows all the imagination and grace of a movie written by a 13 year-old--a very nasty and talentless 13 year-old. Currently, this and several other Paris Hilton films are in the hallowed Bottom 100 on IMDb. Considering it consists of Hilton dispensing advice to others on how to be a better person or just her torturing people for fun, I could certainly understand it making the list! It's nasty and cruel--without a hint of grace or cleverness. If you think that Paris does not get enough time in front of the camera and you have absolutely no values (other than to look 'hot'), then this movie is for you.

+      "review": "Pledge This! is a new film from National Lampoon, and this installment follows along the lines of the other films--a simple plot, good actors, a paper-thin love story, plenty of sight gags, and some sort of villain. This film, however, takes the equation one step further with its quirky characters. The film stars Paris Hilton (House of Wax, The Hillz), Simon Rex (Scary Movie 3, Shriek if You Know What I Did Last Friday the 13th), Sarah Carter (Final Destination 2), Paula Garces (Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Clockstoppers), Geoffrey Arend (The Ringer, Bubble Boy) and many other young, up-and-coming actors and actresses.Victoria English (Paris Hilton) is the wealthy, snobbish president of Gamma Gamma sorority at South Beach University in Miami, Florida. When Victoria learns that FHM Magazine is nominating them for \"Best Sorority of the Year\", Victoria plots to have more \"diversified\" co-eds pledge her sorority to integrate her all-blonde and wealthy sorority. One of Victoria's pledges, Kristen Haas (Sarah Carter), suggests they pledge her ex-friend Gloria (Paula Garces) and six of her misfit dorm mates; DJ spinner Monique; an Indian exchange student nicknamed PooPoo; divorcée Kathy, who is seeking to relive her youth by going back to college; fat Southern belle Maxine; weird goth girl Babs; and lesbian chick Tonya. The seven pledges are force to go through the most outrageous initiations to be accepted. But when they learn that it was all an act just to get the front cover of FHM magazine, Gloria teams up with Victoria's boyfriend, Derek (Simon Rex), to settle the score.Surprisingly, the acting in Pledge This! is quite solid, but the script is pretty lacking. It just does overused clichés one after another until we hit the extremely obvious ending. However, the clichés are actually most of what makes this movie work. If this tried to be some original romantic comedy, I couldn't see it working on any level whatsoever. I wasn't expecting much from Paris Hilton, as I had seen her in House of Wax and her acting was so wooden and boring that, basically, I wanted to throw up. However, Paris Hilton somehow manages to surprise… and this is supposed to be direct-to-video fare! I've never really thought that Paris Hilton was very attractive, but in Pledge This!, the lighting, outfits, and hair style that Paris is given really make her stand out. Simon Rex was great as usual--he has rapidly become one of my favorite actors through the very few films that I have seen him in. His acting style is always hysterically funny, and the movie was worth watching just to see what sort of wacky performance he would appear in next. Paula Garces is perfect as Gloria, and the love story between she and Derek was believable, although, again, quite clichéd. All of the other characters were very creative and fun.In terms of sight gags and nudity, they're in plentiful supply here. One of my favorite scenes had a dog giving Simon Rex a blow job! Classic! There was a lot of female nudity, and while I'm not one to complain, some scenes just felt thrown in there for the sake of nudity alone. I really liked the story; something new filled with old stuff.Overall, Pledge This! is a fun movie for what it was--a direct-to-video National Lampoon film that does very little to break from the mold. See this for nudity and laughs, but don't expect a masterpiece.",

+      "review": "\"Pledge this!\" is undoubtedly one of the worst movies I have seen to date. It takes a tired concept and manages to make it worse in every possible way. The acting is horrid, the plot makes absolutely no sense, and the execution is dead on arrival. All this and more spells doom in a project that should have been left on the cutting room floor.It doesn't help that I find Paris Hilton to be extremely annoying and totally unworthy of the screen time she has been given, but to make matters worse, she narrates a movie in which she constantly tries to reaffirm her \"character\" as better than everyone else, but what was vividly clear (at least, in my eyes) is that she is talking about herself as a person, not the character she so poorly portrays.You would figure that someone like Paris would be able to handle playing the spoiled rich girl since the role hits so close to home, but unfortunately, even she seems like she doesn't know what is going on. She appears disoriented and dumbfounded as to what exactly she is doing, as do those surrounding her.This film doesn't have a saving grace. It has nothing to redeem it except for the fact it ends. And the ending is as predictable as anything you will ever find. In a movie where a snobby, rich girl gets all the admiration and respect, one easily expects the ending to knock her down a peg.... and that is exactly what happens. No curveballs here. The screenplay is bland and extremely unoriginal.Every single aspect from beginning to end was both predictable and poorly executed. It is bad enough to make a movie in which nothing new is attempted, but to do what has already been done and do it in a lackluster manner? That is inexcusable.If I am to pledge thee one sage drop of advice: Avoid this and you'll be forever better for it.",

We're talking about the same people that brought us Van Wilder, Animal House and the Vacation series!!! With that said, after the movie was over, I asked myself, \"And why was the name National Lampoon's\" on this???? I have to admit that I didn't care too much for the Dorm Days series, either, and was even whispering then.......What happened to National Lampoon's??? Anyway, I have seen quite a few Paris Hilton films and enjoyed them all, and to be honest, I didn't think she did a bad job here guys. I've seen her do worse, like her performance in Bottom's Up with Jason Mewes. It almost appeared as if she didn't really want to do that movie, as she was not making an effort to making her character believable. As for the rest of Pledge This? The movie was filled with extremely lame punchlines and a predictable outcome. I watched the Special Features, and one of the actors, I believe it was, actually called it a great script! You could have put, I don't know, Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid in this movie and it still wouldn't have been a great script! I will give it 3 stars because even though it was predictable, I thought with funnier punchlines, it actually could have been a hilarious movie. All in all, I think Paris has the potential to be a good actress if she'd stop accepting roles that are based on, well....her! Oh, and WHAT HAPPENED TO NATIONAL LAMPOON'S????",

He said that there's a woman there who claims I trashed one of her car doors while leaving the parking lot. That was strange to me, since I didn't hit anything and my car was perfectly clean and whole.Later today I realized that the woman was trying to get other people to pay her for a new door, by parking next to them and then blaming them for hitting her car, while it was actually hit from before. I called my agency and it took them a while to calm me down. Eventually I did, but my day was ruined.And then, this evening, I saw Pledge This!, and realized my day wasn't entirely lost until that point, which made it the worst day in my life.(A stupid girl): \"Whoa, that dress must have cost hundreds of dollars!\" (Another stupid girl): \"You mean thousands.\" (A stupid girl): \"Thousands of dollars?\" (Another stupid girl): \"Hundreds of thousands.\" (A stupid girl): \"Thousands of thousands.

Judy Garland worked very hard for about 14 hours a day and slept about 4 hours a night, had brilliant amazing passion and singing voice, and she touched our hearts.

This is truly a script that will make you laugh, cry and come back for more. The script is so fantastic that the second and third tier characters have the most beautiful lines, that they deliver with absolute care for the art form that only this talented cast could show. The quality of the lines is apparent as well. This movie is not without its fair share of repeatable quotes, which are both clever and deep intellectually. The script is one for the ages.The directing of this film is superb as well.

Amazing how she does that. To be in a sorority, I would say you need to go to college as well, and actually we see 2 scenes in a classroom. One class on fashion, in which a teacher is explaining something about Dolce & Gabanna, the other is on Kama Sutra. College according to Paris.Targeted audience: Jokes are maybe funny to <12 year olds It has a strong sexual content, both verbally as well as visually. In many countries you'd have to be 18 to see it You would think it is a movie for girls, since it is all pink and fairytale like situated, but that does not match the shots of nude girls and lesbian insinuations.So what do I think about this movie?

For every other sane human being, abstain from this thing, or you might suffer irreversible brain damage.For me it is a new baseline for my movie scale, I will need to rate some other movies that I rated 1 before up, because they were way better than this. Hopefully in a few weeks I will be able to do simple maths again.A well deserved 1/10",

But this film was so appalling that I needed to vent. I caught this on pay TV and feel violated that my monthly subscription is in someway responsible for this film's income. Loosely, and I mean loosely, described as a comedy (the only genre left as there is not enough blood to call it a horror and not enough acting to be called a TV film of the week) the laughs just never eventuate in this \"film.\" Apparently the only draw-card to this film is Heir-head Paris Hilton. Every time you see her on screen you can't help but cringe and feel a little bit of your life has just been wasted. She is absolutely terrible, perhaps one of the worst performances ever caught on camera. And she was essentially playing herself which shouldn't have been a stretch. The fact that the \"heroines\" of the film aspire to be like her is more a comment on todays fascination with celebrity than what the \"writers\" were going for. To allow yourself to be so humiliated by someone with the charisma of a toothpick is a very sad indictment on the psyche of the teenage girl. That it would be preferable to degrade yourself to try and be like someone rather than standing up for yourself is truly a sad comment on the mindset of the young girl. Mr. Myagi would be weeping at the thought. When the girls eventually do stand up for themselves, however, another girl is more than willing to step in and do what it takes for Paris' approval. Scenes and dialogue feel as if they where made up as they went along, but not in a good Apatow way, and the editing sees this film clunk from one scene to the other. All this before an all too predictable ending that will leave you feeling less of a person for sticking it out to the end. No wonder that even Paris, who believes all publicity is good publicity, has tried to distance herself from this atrocity on the senses.

There's something deeply perverse about this movie. Now a lot of movies are full of perverted humor and are very funny, there are many more that are full of lewd humor and are not so funny, but this one is not only unfunny. There's a sadistic undercurrent to it all.This film is like a propaganda piece made a by a dictator in an attempt to seem self-effacing: it only makes him appear more ruthless. Here Paris Hilton thinks she is making fun of a \"hot chick\" image she imagines herself to have! Instead of humor, however, follows a series of unbelievably barbaric and dehumanizing hazing ritual/pranks inflicted upon other girls and Hilton's boyfriend. For instance, getting the girls to pick up used condoms which results in their bouncing a ball of used condoms; getting the girls to advertise themselves as sl*ts by the side of the road; fooling the boyfriend into copulating with a poodle. Intentionally or not, there's something about the way the movie's shot which makes it seem as if this is to be enjoyed, that Paris is enjoying it, and that's what makes the movie especially disturbing.I don't know to what extent the plot and feel of the movie are the brainchild of Paris, so maybe she's not the one to blame. But she seems right at home in the movie. If this movie came from any one mind, it must either be a twisted mind or a vapid mind, probably both. This tripe makes \"1 Night In Paris\" look like Casablanca. It makes a classic like \"Animal House\" look tasteful, and so it is, because any gross and irreverent humor is included with precise effects in mind, not shoveled on gratuitously.

The movie plot line is of course god awful, basically some nonsense about looserish girls joining a sorority so that the sorority can win a FHM contest(apparently they need diversity to be on FHM or something). Paris Hilton is head of this sorority, and pretty much the film is basically all about her and her queenlike status. Her actually is as expected completely unskilled(at least though there is no singing by her) but her body is fantastic so she can be forgiven for that. However she was not the best looking girl in this video, that honor went to the Indian girl poo poo or some stupid name they give her, her eyes are stunning and she enjoys discovery a vibrator, although sadly we never get to see her use it, just the noises. The other main girl who is Paris' rival, played by Paula Garces is also pretty stunning looking and is arguably also better than Paris. There is a lot of random nudity in this movie to keep you away from the terrible plot, it has no real purpose other than to distract you, however sadly none of the main cast show off their assets. Paris spends the whole movie teasing you but never gives in and finally reveal her body(fortunately there are other ways to see it available). This is one way perhaps they keep you watching this film, you keep waiting for the magic moment when she will finally reveal all, up to the point where u are almost begging like a dog for her to reveal all, but sadly you are let down. Surprising that she didn't agree to it considering where her fame began. At best you will see her in her underwear.

The actor, businessman and musician jumped off a cruise ship into icy water and his body hasn't been recovered yet. Daniel Kublbock has always been a tragic character evoking both disgust and sympathy and who obviously had his share of mental struggles. His parents had wanted a daughter and separated in his early childhood. His mother was apparently an alcoholic who used to hit him sometimes while his relationship with his father was ambivalent. Daniel Kublbock auditioned for the first edition of a reality talent show when he was just seventeen years old. He wore androgynous clothes, appeared to be overtly emotional and had very dramatic, loud and unskilled vocals. Daniel Kublbock was looking for fame to find his own identity but refused to accept that he didn't have much talent and failed to understand that he was used by producers to have a clown in their show that people could make fun of. Againt all odds, many female teenagers pitied him or even saw themselves in this sympathetically confused being and made his songs and records more popular than anyone would have predicted. Daniel the Wizard was released at the height of his career. Instead of helping him find his fame and identity, the media attention had its share of negative impacts on him. Daniel Kublbock openly identified as bisexual, then admitted being homosexual and ended up claiming he was transgender shortly before his death. His physical appearance also shifted drastically as he looked quite androgynous as a teenager, then gave himself the look of a serious male businessman before adapting a feminine look with dresses and heavy makeup. His music also changed from anglophone pop rock music over Latin pop to a mixture of blues and jazz. Daniel Kublbock's fate is tragic because he never found his true identity and his erratic behaviour gave him a few moments of glory but also a few moments of resentment. Blaming those who bullied him because of his at times annoying behaviour is only partially accurate as his family, managers and friends should have helped him deal with his mental issues first instead of supporting him being watched by millions on television when he was still legally a child.Ironically, much of this torn character can also be found in this movie that mixes fantasy elements and documentary aspects. Daniel Kublbock is seen going completely crazy on stage at one moment and sitting thoughtfully in an isolated room in the next scene. The film portrays a young female teenager who admires the unique and different singer while male teenagers despise him for his erratic behaviour. This film actually shows us who Daniel Kublbock really was and how he was really perceived by society. These two elements alone make the movie bearable and justify a slightly generous rating.The rest of this film is a catastrophe. The plot is beyond ridiculous. The acting performances are stiff. The camera work is shaky. The sound is unsteady. The movie mostly consists of concert footage weirdly intertwined with poorly scripted fantasy elements. While other bad movies such as The Room show a certain degree of passion for filmmaking or are at least entertaining like Samurai Cop, Daniel the Wizard is neither passionate nor entertaining. Despite its short length of only eighty-one minutes, it feels incredibly stretched and could have been cut in half. The movie righteously sold very poorly but is today considered a cult flick because of its flaws. Honestly, those flaws are so amateurish that they aren't even worth discussing. Daniel the Wizard is only interesting to watch if you are intrigued by the lead actor's tragic fate. If you come here expecting hilarious entertainment, you have to looke elsewhere.Calling this film one of the worst ever made would be exaggerated. Describing Daniel the Wizard as unsuccessful low budget mash-up of random documentary elements and weird fantasy parts is more accurate. This movie is a sympathetic wreck. Such seemed to be the life of its lead character as well. May Daniel Kublbock rest in peace.",

They're lead by a shady nogoodnik who bares a distracting resemblance to Peter Stormare. Their acting, especially that of the long haired, brooding guy in black leather had me laughing out loud.

So i think most of the votes and reviews are written out of a perspective of hate, disgust and certified prejudice.Let me write a review from a perspective of a person that just doesn't care about the person of Daniel Küblböck:1. This movie isn't done by aestheticians of modern cinema, let's mention Tarsem Singh or Pedro Almodóvar for an example. So expect a very cheap looking film.2. Don't expect professional actors. Most lay actors here simply play themselves or very plain characters.3. This movie has a simple message. See it as a movie for children, maybe aged 10 or something. Those viewers do not have the same expectations as you might have as an adult. I think the message of the movie is a good message: \"Do not hate. Love instead!\" and so on. If you have a look at the enormous crap that is being watched by children today this seems like a good message.4. This movie directly addresses to the majority of people who hate the person of Daniel Küblböck. Well, the message for haters would be the same like it would be for children. \"Hate makes you blind for what your life should be worth living for\" Why can't you leave something alone if you hate it? Without the enormous negative media circus Daniel Küblböck would have been forgotten in weeks like all the other casting singers.So let me summarize. There are movies that transport their message in a artistically more valuable way, but nevertheless the message of the movie is good. Most haters are blinded by their hate and won't be able to change their narrow-minded point of view.Now please insult me for giving this movie more than 1/10",

Some might argue about the (non existing) abilities of Daniel Kübelbock as an actor. However you could imagine a story with Daniel Kübelbock playing himself in a self ironic way and some kind of trash factor supporting the rest of the story. Now Daniel Kübelblock is actually playing himself and the whole story is trash (if you would look at it from that point of view, actually more points could be given), however the film -I actually searched on several pages on the Internet to confirm this, cause I didn't believe it after I first watched the movie- wants to give its viewers a serious message and is determined to be considered as art. I would call this movie \"Entartete Kunst\" if the Nazis hadn't already used this term for their evil purposes. Still doing it in spite of this is quite tempting.Most of the other actors are better than Kübelbock, still they are far below average to say it in a friendly way. Quite amusing are the sociolects (in particular indicating uneducated and unemployed people) and jargons (representing a high consume of the German mass media culture) several actors are using.

He assured me that this was a wise choice since, at the time, the name Daniel Küblböck was in mouth and ears of many pre-teens and teenagers. Küblböck made second place in Germany's \"Superstar\"-version (\"DSDS\") and was groomed to become Germany's version of Michael Jackson; music and persona being as artificial as the tip of Jackos nose. Surely a few handsome bucks would come from the rentals.Need I still mention it? Neither rental copy ever left the store. Not once. After having reduced the price to 50 cents, my boss tried to give the DVDs away for free, causing two copies to leave the store. One customer who took a copy assured me that this was meant as Christmas present for 'that guy dating his ex-girlfriend'; the other copy was taken by a drunk who wandered the adult section and who didn't own a DVD-player.Whatever happened to the remaining 13 copies, you ask? Unless my boss has used them as make-shift beverage coasters, they remain the only films in that shop to carry the label \"Free\".Is \"Daniel der Zauberer\" the fabled 'worst movie ever'? Well, sure \"Daniel der Zauberer\" makes \"Plan 9 From Outer Space\" look like a Cecil B DeMille picture – but it's by far not the worst film ever. Oh, by no means.

Just to inform those who have never heard about Daniel Küblböck I would like to give some information and background. Daniel took part in the German Idol where he finished 3rd. He certainly was not a very good singer at that time but a brilliant performer and thousands of Germans voted for him and he was shown in TV almost every day. Then there was a voting for the most important German and Daniel was on Place 16 - the German people voted for him NOT HE HIMSELF. Since then he was dissed wherever possible, in TV and in the German press. Non of the other prominent people could believe that such a young boy was in front of them and started to talk bad about him wherever possible. A lot of men cannot stand him because he is everything else than a macho type and THAT is not acceptable in Germany. He likes to laugh and wants to make people smile and his motivation is 'Positive Energy'. He never attacked or said bad things about anybody. Press and TV have made a good job during the last year and take him now as example for bad politics, bad football, bad everything. Daniel's movie was produced by Uli Lommel who was fascinated by this youngster when he saw him on stage when he gave a concert for about 2000 to 3000 fans in Munich. The movie shows now exactly a part of his life. A lot of his fans adore him but also a lot of Germans just hate him. The movie wants to make clear that there is no sense in hating but try to understand other people. As you can see from most of the comments here hardly anybody understood the sense of the movie (have never seen it). It is fact that there are lots of German people who put their whole energy and bad feelings just on a (now) 19 year old boy. If you talk to 'normal' people about this, they just shake their heads and cannot understand it. But these 'sick' people meet on internet sites like 'Let's kill Küblböck' and others and now you can also recognize why this movie got this bad votes.

The movie showcases several of his performances which I assume to be real.So far it's more of documentary than anything else, then the fictional part breaks in with a wizard running around with a tuba in his hand, and a trio who hate Daniel and plan to kill him. Since these parts are shot in home-video style they might as well be part of a mocumentary about some idiots trying to kill a popstar.Confusion of genre apart, Daniel himself is fiercely annoying with his shrill voice and flamboyant mannerisms. Wikipedia tells us he was voted most annoying person in TV in 2004, and this movie really shows that side of him. A documentary, or whatever this mess is supposed to be, with focus on an incredible annoying pop star is not a niece experience.When the would be killers had Daniel at gun point around the middle mark of the running time, I was so glad we get rid of this awful guy, but they wussied out and as a result of which, I had to suffer through another 40 minutes of him and his grating voice.Since i saw the film in German, without subtitles, I will give it the benefit of the doubt, and award it one point.",

This was in fact not necessary, because this film speaks the international language of terrible film.The plot makes no sense, a fault so expertly delivered that no dialogue is needed to convey this to the audience. The acting is bad in any language, and then there's the real kicker: the editing and camera-work. It feels like something someone filmed for YouTube (back before professional YouTubers with high production values came along), the only hint that this isn't the case is the main character performing in concert venues. The sound quality, the picture quality and the slightly shaky picture betray that this was likely filmed on a home-video camera. The editing is virtually non-existent, with a general feeling most of the video clips were hastily stuck together in Windows Movie Maker.Overall, a must-see for lovers of bad film.

He managed to gain some popularity due to his androgynous look and quirky personality. He later took part in the German version of \"I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!\" and by now has faded into relative obscurity, but not before leaving us this tremendous achievement of bad movie making.The rough plot of this movie goes like this: Daniel is at the height of his popularity, giving large concerts and receiving dozens of fan letters every day. However, many others hate him and his music. His worst hater is a ridiculously edgy guy called Balthasar, who is planning an assassination together with a teenage couple (Tom and Rike). Meanwhile, Daniel is visited by a mysterious one-armed magician figure (played by the director, Ulli Lommel), who tells him that in order to become a magician himself, there are several tests he will have to pass...Now, where do we start? The beginning of the movie (and several later scenes) show Daniel performing live, but his horrible singing, dancing and his ridiculous outfits quickly become hard to stomach. Speaking of ridiculous outfits, I should mention that the evil killer Balthasar wears a red leather trench coat and has upside-down crosses branded on the back of his head[!]. Judging from the bad image quality, lighting and constant shaking, the movie seems to have been largely filmed on a hand-held camcorder. Adding to the \"charm\" of the movie are some of the exciting locations: Küblböck's living room, the forest and meadow next to his house, a concert hall and the small apartment of the murderous conspirators. The production values are roughly comparable to the home movie project of a sixth grader. The true \"highlight\" of the movie however are the bizarre dialogues and the general ludicrous and nonsensical way the plot goes forward. It's hard to describe and really has to be seen to be believed.Overall, this might be the worst movie I've ever seen, but I can't say that I haven't been somewhat entertained.

But vanity, I'm afraid, is a virtue in this instance.Daniel Der Zauberer (or Daniel the Wizard) is a movie about German...entertainer (...?)...Daniel Küblböck. It is apparently supposed to be an art movie about how his singing inspires thousands, but instead of just a bunch of dancing and singing (like the ego trip known as Moonwalker), it seems to have a plot. My German is negligible in this case, so I didn't understand *any* of the dialogue, but according to the handy Internet, a Goth band tries to kill him because his music is better than their's, or something like that.There is a character who I guess is supposed to be \"the Wizard\" of the title, Johannes Küblböck. Based on the fact that they share the same last name, I assume he and Daniel are father and son, but we never really learn whose side the Wizard is on; I was perplexed. Sometimes he helps the Goths, then he apparently is playing Santa or something for young Daniel (?). And there's something about a girl and her father, who are No. 1 fans trying to help him, although I honestly don't know what happened. The girl looks a little young for him, is it his sister? The ambiguity, perhaps, is the balancing factor of this movie. In many instances, ambiguity can set up a nice atmosphere, provide a bit of mystery...but this isn't a horror or mystery movie. It's an art movie, and an art movie where I really don't have a clue what's going on. My main problem was that it was hideously boring and the acting was terrible.Oh, and of course, I was especially creeped out by Daniel's...choice of dress.

+      "review": "Detractors of German pop oddity Daniel Küblböck who wanted this movie to fail could not have been indulged more than having Ulli Lommel write and direct the feature. Küblböck's polarizing persona melded with Lommel's highly questionable style of filmmaking to make for a movie that I'm surprised ever saw the inside of any theater and is practically custom-made for criticism. If someone greatly dislikes the movie, there's really no arguing with 'em...but as a lover of low-budget filmmaking, I found enough things that I liked to inspire a decent rating.The film's biggest liability is not actually its cast or direction, but its screenplay. Lommel's screenplays frequently read like something written by a man on LSD, and this one is no exception. The movie would probably be a lot more coherent if only the story could stay focused on the actual plot. Instead, it entertains no less than five different narratives: (1) the planned assassination of Daniel by a knife-carrying weirdo (Rudolf Brem) and his cohorts, (2) a rivalry between said weirdo and Daniel's ghostly protector (Lommel), (3) Daniel's quest to perform in Hollywood, (4) Daniel's status as a magician-in-training, and (5) the conflict between a teen fan (Marina Lommel) and her grandfather (Peter Schamoni) over Daniel's music. Any movie running under 90 minutes would have trouble exploring all of these subplots, but DANIEL DER ZAUBERER strains itself even further by also focusing on footage from Daniel's live performances, impromptu music videos, and go-nowhere scenes like when the would-be assassins stalk Küblböck outside of his home.The level of awkwardness is high. Some of it has to do with the acting - performed by mostly first-time performers - but more of it has to do with the blocking, editing, and the script. Dialogue shots are frequently shoved together in a manner that in no way replicates normal conversation, and scenes are occasionally interspersed with completely unrelated footage. Director Lommel must hate establishing shots, because the viewer is often just dropped right in the middle of a scene without buildup. New characters appear from out of nowhere and strike up intimate conversations with established characters. All of it's very odd.While the film depicts Daniel's vehement critics as old fogies and pathetic weirdoes who scribble death threats, his fans don't look all that great either - not the young devotee who's willing to alienate her grandfather's customers for his music and certainly not the odd girl who cavalierly tells him about how he appeared to her father in angel form (even Daniel seems weirded out by that). The movie is not very effective in drumming up support for the guy, but given its lack of production values and inherently flawed nature, I wonder how much better a more restrained version would have even been.There are some redeeming features. While this film kicked off what many consider the absolute worst portion of Ulli Lommel's career, DANIEL DER ZAUBERER has a level of energy that most of his future films lack. Few scenes drag, and unlike subsequent Lommel fare like DUNGEON GIRL, this one actually feels like it's building towards a planned conclusion and not something the crew came up with on the fly. The actors' performances can be contrived, but they're all pretty sincere and played with more confidence than you'd find in a typical no-budget movie. Fans of the main star will probably be disappointed that Daniel is no way cut out to be a dramatic actor, but they'll appreciate the presence of several exclusive songs that have yet to be released in other formats. There's even the occasional feel-good scene, like when Daniel and his on screen grandmother (Katja Rupe) discuss his deceased grandfather.This one's hard to recommend to most people, but if you tend to like films that the rest of the world seems to dislike, this one may be or you!",

The writer and director is Ulli Lommel and he is known for acting in the films of Rainer Werner Fassbinder. As a filmmaker himself, however, Lommel is known for having come up with many films that received very bad reviews for the most part and his fairly recent effort here is probably where he hit rock-bottom. German audiences may still be aware of the phenomenon that was Daniel Küblböck earlier this century, a young man who became third in the German version of \"American Idol\" despite hawing a pretty awful voice and he made up for it because of his uniqueness and style. That's the way it was and everybody knew him back then. I guess this is why Lommel thought a movie would lure many fans to theaters. But it turned out a huge flop.The quality of this film is not debatable. It looks extremely amateurish and I find it shocking that this is the work of a filmmaker who has been in the industry for decades. At least, Küblböck and his family do not have any experience which somehow explains their terrible performances. This looks like the work of a 20-year-old filmmaker who never made another movie, but Lommel is the exact opposite. All quantity, no quality it seems. The cast actually includes more people other than Lommel who worked with Fassbinder on several occasions and I find it pretty sad how low they have sunk here. The film's biggest problem are the production values. Be it directing, editing, sound work, music, acting or most of all writing, you name it, it is extremely flawed on many occasions from start to finish. You will find advertising in this movie on the most blatant occasions, such as a couple bottle of alcohol standing randomly at a baker's shop. The sound was really bad too. The music was loud and the voices of the actors were almost impossible to understand, especially Lommel himself.This movie had many references about religion. The bad guy (Brem) is shown clearly as an equivalent of Satan while the way Küblböck kept saving people from death is not only extremely cringeworthy but also completely void of realism. There is talk of a man about to drown who saw Küblböck as an angel and survived thanks to the singer. Or the woman who intended to commit suicide, but found a reason to live for in Küblböck's music. The only somewhat solid aspect was the plot twist with the angel being Daniel's dead grandpa. But this alone was far from enough to make up for all the abysmal stuff in here. A tremendous failure.

It is such a passion project and I was so cheered by it that it would be impossible for me to dislike it.I personally really loved the songs and Daniel is beyond cute. He's so adorable, beautiful and charming, but I have a thing for skinny guys with long hair so maybe it's just me.Besides everything, the film also somewhat foreshadows the disturbing events that followed years later in real life. So, now it is an important film to exist as a historical artefact in retrospect to the singer's death.",

+      "review": "A week ago, I watched Daniel der Zauberer with an open mind, despite its negative reviews. I wanted to give it a chance and see what it was about. The plot follows a boy who becomes famous through a TV show and faces challenges with people who don't appreciate his music. The main character is portrayed by Daniel Küblböck, a popular figure from Germany's Pop Idol.To my surprise, I actually enjoyed the movie! While it may not be a typical blockbuster, it was good in its own unique way. The movie gave me a fresh perspective on a celebrity's struggles with fame and the pressures that come with it. For those who appreciate quirky, offbeat films, this could be an interesting watch. It might not be for everyone, but I can see how it might appeal to fans of Küblböck or those looking for something different. If you're curious, give it a try - it might surprise you!",

Those guys must've time traveled to watch this masterpiece and take notes from it! The plot is original, the characters are absolutely wonderful and the shots are extremely high quality. Although it has a bas reputation, it's because of the prejudgement coming from the first few minutes. There are also a lot of major abstract themes tackled in the film, like violent greed and envy. This movie is a total masterpiece AND a commentary on the society, just like its animated rivals Foodfight! And Trolland. I recommend this movie to everyone, regardless of age, gender or ethnicity.",
