by captaind captaind is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 50, Sep 23 '08
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 ...

by ImAmes Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 27 '01
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...

The Neverending Story actually ended this time

by updateghost Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 10 '05
Pros: Direction; cute.
Cons: Falcor.
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

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 ...

There is Magic Here

by bluesmojo , Dec 10 '01
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...

This Film Was My Childhood.

by SirenSix , Apr 03 '00
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: Had an effect on who I've become today.
Cons: If only this had not been a children's movie...
