OK when I saw this movie my first thoughts were "how cheesy" could it be. My god was I sadly mistaken at the cheesiness of this film. First off like all the other low budget movies, you can find this piece of "god knows what" in the five dollar bin at Wal-Mart.The funniest thing about this movie is the case, which suggest that someone sat down long enough to give it 3 1/2 stars with out there head exploding.
The movie is full of cheap actors with even cheaper reactions to one another's lines. Although I must say that it has some unforgettable lines that no matter how hard I tried to forget them i'll never manage too. Such lines like "A weary traveler I do see, A weary traveler sent to me, Will you dine in our chamber, Will you dine with the remainder" the remainder of what!!!I still never understood how a bunch of people sitting at a table could make up a whole castle, and what is with that fish guy, I mean what purpose did he serve. Plus the movie has some of the actors from Kevin Summerfields "Sleepy Hollow High" which made me wonder at times.
At no point in time am I given enough information about any of the charters to care wither there killed or enslave by the trolls. Also who ever thought to give that mouse vocals should be hunted with a very small kitchen knife. I mean laughing is one thing,but every time I turned around the mouse was laughing about something that didn't require a laugh. I also thought that the comment from the mice about max's dad's fly being opened was beyond gay to me. I mean what the hell was he looking at his fly area for. Oh yeah, then there's mister Tim who is supposed to be some old head wizard who is now an everyday working man. How did he make that transition?! But yet again I'am not given enough information on him to care about his well being.
Then there's max the magician the hero of this awful epic. Max is a kid with no friend, and by his acting it is all to obvious why. He's somehow friends with Mr.Tim who is like a hundred and max is like 12. That was all to strange to me and very pedo like. Max is given a magic book by mister Tim who until this day I can't understand why he would do such a thing. I mean was he actually looking at max, I mean did he see who I saw I don't think he did. Other wise he would have been up in there handling s*** on his own. So max is basically the average loser who rises to meet an occasions which not worth meeting. I could go on and on about this s*** of a movie but what it comes down to is do you really want to take the red pill and go down this very uncomfortable rabbit hole. I don't think so. So if you looking for laughs at other peoples expenses then buy it, if not avoid it like the plague.
