Pros: Fun, entertaining family friendly adventure movie. Cons: A few sad and upsetting moments.
My love of movies started when I was a child even though I didn't get to see as many as I would have liked. I have fond memories of watching certain movies, some several times, as I was growing up. I recently watched The Neverending Story< b>< i> ...
Pros: ... decent characters, good acting by main cast, social commentary... Cons: ... tired story, useless villain, some awful effects by today's standards...
The Never-Ending Story is one of those films that I never quite got round to seeing in my youth (though I remember having the computer game for the old Speccy years ago!), and seeing it for the first time recently, really wish I’d had ...
Pros: Magical, Mystical, and full of Adventure! Cons: None
"The Neverending Story" was one of those movies that I saw when I was a child that I could not get out of my system. I watched it every chance I could get, and started to pray and hope that such a place like Fantasia did exsist. When my Mom would tell me...
When I first watched The NeverEnding Story at the age of seven, I thought to myself, "Yes... it really is never-ending." How does a 97-minute long film with a thin plot and no sexual tension manage to feel so eternal? I don't know- it may have ...
Pros: Great script, fantastic score, very well directed, magical in every way Cons: It ended!
When I was a kid this movie dominated my childhood. From age 4-8 I watched it virtually every week without exception. It seemed to me to be the height of cinema. Then, when I started getting up there, I sadly shuffled it away along with most of the ...
Pros: Well-developed characters, involving storyline, great world, cool music Cons: Sometimes terrible acting from Bastian and Atreyu
I grew up on this movie. I mean, not literally, because that would take some balance, but I must have watched it hundreds of times between first and sixth grades. This is the movie that started what has been, for me, a lifelong love affair with my...
Pros: Pure magic. Cons: Adults, unlike kids, will notice its flaws.
This movie has done so much to shape my life that I almost hate to give it a mere four stars. However, I must not let my personal bias interfere with my objective assessment of the film's quality.
Pros: Excellent special effects and creatures, great premise and theme, an '80s gem Cons: Too short (only about an hour and a half)
"The Neverending Story" is a fascinating fantasy film with a firm hold in popular culture. Released in 1984, this movie continues to enchant new generations of children while those who grew up with it still hold it dear to their...
I first saw The Neverending Story in the cinema. I lived in Singapore when it first came out - sometime between the ages 4-7. After that, we got the sound track and the novel.
Pros: Great movie with a very tru statement on imagination and dreams Cons: none
I was four when this movie came out and even then I understood this phrase. Even at that age I knew the power of dreams and imagination, found them, in fact, a vital tool for survival. I was never exactly the sort of kid that was accepted and therefore...
Pros: Falkor Cons: they might want to touch up the special effects
Ohh my god where do I start. This is like a classic I put up there with the greats like the Wizard of Oz, Willow, The Last Unicorn, and Legends. If any movie should be retouched and brought back out on to the big screen it should be this one. It's...
Pros: Highly imaginative, innovative, positive. Cons: I remember it as a scary movie when I was a kid.
An adventure classic for all ages, The Neverending Story involves hope, love, terror, despair, frustration, and courage, and comes out with a triumphant success over the powers of darkness. The viewer will find themselves cheering along with Bastein, the...
Pros: Wonderful characters, nice music, and a compelling plot. Cons: None.
The Neverending Story is one of the most enjoyable and compelling Science- Fiction/Fantasy films I have ever seen. It draws you in from the very start of the film! The movie is filled with wonderfully created characters and beautiful landscapes to bring...
Pros: beautiful imagery, wonderful story of love, passion, terror, and courage Cons: none
I saw many movies when I was younger, but few stick out as clearly in my mand more than The Neverending Story. The story seemed so wonderful on so many different levels. I must have seen it at least 40 times during my childhood years alone. The movie...
Pros: The whole movie...great for kids and there imaginations as well as adults Cons: needs to released on DVD, graphics are a little hazy
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! I was born in 1978 and this movie is my all time favorite (along with Goonies, the Dark Crystal and the Labyrinth) of my childhood. Even now that I'm older I still look back at this movie and it still amazes me and it...
Pros: Had an effect on who I've become today. Cons: If only this had not been a children's movie...
This movie may have been a landmark in the development of my twisted tastes. The film is an epic journey into the imagination of a child and therefore into the innocence and loss of innocence of children.
This movie is the best! Im 18 and I still watch it! This movie is a classic. In my opinion better than the book! It has so many effects that you feel as if your in the movie yourself.
The movie is about a young boy, Bastian , who is a misfit in...
Pros: creative, great for kids, a portal into the mind that most of us tend to lose when we turn into adults Cons: none
The Neverending Story has to be one of the most inventive and imaginitive movies out there. Geared mainly for children, it is also a great escape for adults as well.The story has to do with a young boy that is having some trouble dealing with a new...
Pros: A wonderful rendition of a fantasy story and more Cons: There are sequels, but they pale to the original
This movie was on cable last night, and I just had to watch it again. I remember originally watching this movie as a kid. Atreu was older than me! I suppose his actor still is, but boy does he look like a kid in this movie.
Pros: Pure Fantacy, great characters, just perfect Cons: a bit dark in certain places
The Neverending Story has been my favorite movie series since childhood. The never ending adventures of Bastion Balthazar Bucks have completely changed my outlook on life. The good factors about this movie are too many to list. Apart from completely...
Pros: Great fantasy film Cons: should not have had any sequels. Ever.
"The Neverending Story" is an ideal introduction to fantasy for kids. It has a terrific cast of amazing characters, like the Rockbiter and Falcor, the Luckdragon who resembles a giant Cocker Spaniel. It also has a wonderful and intriguing plot...
Pros: A wonderful children's film that will stay with them for a lifetime. Cons: Some violent scenes; Frightening creatures; A gore scene; A discreet "s" word.
Now and then a movie comes along that you think is so good that, should a sequel ever be made, you almost have to pretend it doesn't exist, because a sequel could not compare to the quality of the first film. For me, The Neverending Story is one...
Pros: Totally awesome..you'll fantasize for days afterwards! Cons: That Neverending Story 2 and 3 weren't as good as the first!
I remember when I was in 6th grade, since it was the last day of school we all got the perfect treat! We were thrilled to be able to watch The Neverending Story!
I remember sitting in my little desk, fasinated, enthralled, wishing it could be...
Pros: Good content, wonderful storyline Cons: someone made sequels that poorly reflected the books
Well, for those who really loved this movie and for those who haven't had the priviledge of seeing it yet, this is all for you. Surprise, surprise...I read the book! Contrary to popular opinion on the Internet, the book is MUCH more complex than the...
Pros: Will bring out the best in your imagination Cons: Some bad acting, but can be looked over.
I never knew a book could be so cool. Yes this is a movie, but it's a bout this book. A book that takes a kid that's scared of life and teaches him how to earn courage and strength. He learns how to gain courage and strength to deal with life through ...
Pros: Brings back your creativity, imagination and wonder. Cons: You'll find yourself humming the theme song at work :)
In the times that we live in today, despite what our age and our circumstance is, I feel that everyone needs a movie to come home to that brings back a feeling of hope, trust and humanity, and gives us to courage to dream again to build a better world. ...
Pros: This movie is incredibly imaginative and suitable for all ages. Cons: There is not a thing wrong with this movie!
Ever since I was about 4 or 5 I have loved this movie, and I still watch it every now and then. The good thing about it is that it can entertain you no matter what age you are. Considering that this movie was made in the 80's there are really good...
Pros: wonderful work of art and fantasy!!! Cons: None
This has to be a classic and a half. You can never watch "The Never Ending Story" too many times. The special effects, the dialogue and the acting was amazing for the time when it came out.
Pros: IMAGINATIVE, Inspiration to pick up a book, FANTASY, Wonderful Cons: The 'wolf' may be a tad scary for some young children.
As a child this was my FAVORITE movie! The effects and make up may not be as 'complicated' as present day movies are concerned, but they are none the less BRILLIANT, EYE CANDY. From start to finish this movie kept my full attention. It was like triple...
Pros: Wonderfully creative story and characters Cons: The sequels
Who woulda thought?
I was once told that Time moves in a cycle. Things occur and pass, but they eventually repeat. I feel that stories act rather in the same fashion. You may say that they start, and that they end. But i think that they always...
Pros: the music, plot, the costumes Cons: it can get kind of scary at times, so if a youngster under five is watching it, be sure to watch it with him/her
This movie is fabulous. It was one of my favorites when I was a kid and it still is. The soundtrack is also pretty good-my friend has it. All the charactars in this movie are extremely vivid-the costumes are pretty cool. My only issue with this movie is...
Pros: Creativity, clean movie, great joys Cons: Slow start
After years of living, I let this childhood favorite slip from my memory. Last week I went to the video store and rented this classic. Memories of my childhood streamed back as I remembered the joys of watching the movie with my brother and sister. ...
Pros: A wonderful, magical story. Cons: After reading the book, I thought of a few things that could have been changed to keep the movie truer to the book.
Young Bastian is having a tough life until he happens into a book shop and discovers a mysterious book that will change his life.

The Neverending Story is an outstanding movie that was adapted from an even more outstanding book.

Pros: This film contains a great plot and a message all should know Cons: No major flaws
I first watched this when I was about 5 years old and fell in love with it. In an age where so much of kids' programming is violent, or just plain mind-numbing, this movie does a great job with imaginative characters and storyline.
Pros: Wonderfully magical fantasy story. Cons: The sequels bombed.
A very great fantasy movie that any bookworm is sure to love. Bastian is a boy who's enamored with fantasy and imagination, but his father instructs him to be just the opposite. As anyone who is like Bastian can testify, it's impossible to be swayed from...
I think the Neverending Story was one of the best movies ever made. I think it brings out a whole new wonderful world to your imagination. The sets in the movie where marvelous, and the special effects bring the movie to life. It is one of my favourite...
Pros: Sensualy, Intellectualy, Spiritualy, Perfect Cons: Doesn't stick close to the book
In 1984 a truly incredible thing happened... "The Neverending Story", (In my opinion, the ONLY perfect movie) was released into United States movie theaters. Everything that followed it shades in it's comparison!
Okay, by now you're...
Pros: A perfect story Cons: Some minor silly stuff aimed at kids for their pure amusement
Under the guise of a childrens fantasy, this is an eloquent proverb which would be easily applicable to any age group. It is a story about growing up and all that that entails. Issues of identity are heavily played upon, appropriately addressing...
Originally I saw "The never-ending Story" on my fifth birthday. I was in my mother?s hometown, and she thought it would be nice I was able to see more of her hometown, when we saw the poster I was intrigued about the story. Ever since then I...
Pros: Reasonable length
Memorable characters/story Cons: Effects are dated
Perfect family movie. A few scares, and one REALLY sad moment, but other than that nothing to worry about. Movies like this are unfortunately not made any more.
