I mean, it's OKAY. There are some touching moments but the special effects were poor. The noise was weird, but I guess that's to be expected of 1984 films. Some of the things didn't make sense, like how Atreyu suddenly started shouting for Artax and calls him 'stupid horse' when before he was fine.
One thing I HATE about this film is that it does not pay true homage to the book. What happened to Fantastica?? Not Fantasia! And Bastian is supposed to be pudgy and fat not slim and able to run. And I think it's a real shame because the NeverEnding Story is one of my best and most favourite books I have ever read but this film ruined it!
One additional thing, how did Atreyu suddenly arrive when the centaur called? And he isn't even a centaur anymore! It was the same scene, same arrangements, and same everything but he had just appeared??!!
And how did Falkor become introduced? Hello?? How is this similar to the book??? It is an insult to my favourite book of all time!!
And ALSO there are 3 gates, not 2!!! And ALSO the Southern Oracle speaks in rhymes!!! And the sphinxes' gaze were riddles not lightning!! And no one talked about the other knight who entered the First Gate!!! So honestly I could go on FOREVER!!! There are sooo many little but annoying imperfections
I hope this review helped you!
