The NeverEnding Story Review

I always called it the "Neverending Movie"..cause it bored the crap outta me!

If I remember correctly the two statues were sphynxs. They're creatures found in Egyptian and other mythologies. When my daughters were kids they thought that part was a bit scary but more exciting. They admired his courage. I liked the carpetdragon (I think that's what it's called but it's been awhile)that gives rides flying around. A lot of fantasy movies can be a bit out there. I liked it. I also liked reading your review. Go ahead and watch it again sometime.

I thought this movie was STRANGE. I never understood what people liked about it.

I grew up with a preacher father--he is still a preacher. We were given this movie on VHS when I was younger and we watched it with our parents. I guess I don't remember the statue part. My siblings and I enjoyed the fantasy adventure and after the movie my parents talked with us about what we may have learned from it. My parents were like that with most "new" movies. I don't think my children have ever watched it unless they have seen it at a friend's house. They do have it at Wal-Mart as a package with both the orig. and part 2. I have often thought about buying it but I never have. I'll get Shelton to do some research on it and then decide. Thanks for the honesty in your review!

I noticed a comment from Gigi about "Bridge To Terabithia." If you get a chance you should watch that. It is a really good movie. We got two copies for Christmas '07 or '06. Shelton's mother (Grammy) and my parents both got it for the grandkids. The children love it and it has a great storyline, some faith-based issues and is a great way to teach children how to deal with death and dying.

May the Lord bless and keep you and may you always do what your heart tells you to and not what the world says. Love to you, Anna Leigh, Shelton and family

Maybe it is creepy to you because you have No imagination. There is nothing scary, creepy or indecent in this movie. It is your typical good against evil movie, as most are. The Nothing is the evil bad guy and Altreyu and Bastian (now that he is in the story) are the good guys trying to save the princess (aka damsel in distress) Lets see, Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Alladin and the list goes on. All the same theory, good guy trying to beat the bad guy to save the damsel in distress. And as for indecent, are you one of those people that can find indecent things in the clouds and buildings? Give me a break have yet to see any of these things in ANY movie and I have a kids collection of movies let me tell ya. With three kids I have seen them all and most likely have them too.

This movie is a great movie. It teaches that with determination and will power, good can beat evil. It also teaches that just because we are different or come from different places or races (rock people, the dragon, the little people, ect.) we can all work together to reach a common goal. Buy it, watch it and enjoy it with your kids or even for yourself.

I will agree that the second and the third were not as good as the first but they have their meaning too. Take care and Blessed Be.

I loved this movie! It is imaginative, well-structured, meaningful and not scary at all. I felt it was a magical movie, so much so that I have watched it several times and it's a favorite with our entire group of family and friends. I think it is a much healthier piece of work to watch that the trash that the Simpson's spews out. It teaches something decent...something that is lacking in this society of disrespect, disregard and wastefulness.

:~~)

I never saw it but heard of it lots of times. I wonder what I was doing when everyone was watching movies? lol.

Yay! another review from you! In the words of that immortal philosopher, Homer Simpson..."Woo-Hoo!"

Yay for writing your long over due review! I never saw "The NeverEnding Story". I guess I didn't miss out on anything. Good job! Looking forward to your next review! =D ~Krista Lynn

i think it's one of those movies that you miss those points as a child but then really notice them as an adult

Yay, she CAN still write reviews :+) My brother loved this movie as a teenager. I have never watched it but almost bought the 2-disc set the other day w/Part 1 and 2. I was wondering about what all the hype was for my brother. Have you ever seen "Bridge To Terabithia?" That is an awesome movie with a beautiful musical score and soundtrack. I reviewed them both. Check it out if you haven't already watched it.
