Arthur y la guerra de los dos mundos

I do not feel that this visually stunning film directed by none other than Luc Besson gets the love or recognition it deserves. Sure, some of the voice-acting in the English version is a little 'off' but it goes above and beyond what is expected from a family film of this sort with some astounding production values and great directorial touches by Besson such as the 'Star Wars' Darth Vader reference near the end.

Luc Besson finally managed to capture the huge essence of fantasy, adventure and technical aspects in the special effects in this third film.

Something he had not achieved in the first two films. The first can even overcome this, but the war of the two worlds can be overwhelming and more serious, breaking the curse rule of the third film in many details.

Not that it is grandiose or spectacular, but it certainly proves to be far more fantastical and brilliant than the first two films and even a few others out there that tried and failed, like the Golden Compass and Percy Jackson.

You will enjoy this series. This movie is for sure worth the wile to watch and it is very funny to see the characters blend in each others worlds. This part 2 of the sequel is wonderful. I ties the nots on many loose ends from the first movies. Like questions on how the two worlds really could coexist. But what I did not like about the movie was that the rhythm was a little off so it didn't build up as well as the previous. Also I really liked the bad guy and it was fun hearing more about his love life. Especially fun when he took interest in one of the characters. But the ending didn't really give me that resolution I wanted or character development. I felt more like disappointed. Feels like they created something to fast, rushed, because people really demanded it after the first part left you on such cliff hanger. I wished for a true legendary conclusion, but instead was left with what you get from like an episode or GOT. But still watch it. It is still enjoyable even though it wasn't everything I wanted.

Watched the movie today,and it's passable. The whole film has been toned down for younger audiences, and that ruined it. It's not a horrible movie, has a couple of chuckles(for older audiences), but unfortunately has a lot of kiddy moments. The 2nd one that basically didn't reveal the plot until the last 20 minutes is a really fun and funny movie.This one finishes that plot, and that's that. Watched the previous ones in french with eng subtitles, but had to watch this one in English, like i knew, i didn't like it(read my review for the first one) mostly cause of the voice acting. Good for kids from 10 and under, older people probably won't like it. Going to watch the french version when it comes out, hope it has different(Better) dialogue like always cause it always has better voice acting... Good for kids, not for older audiences Enjoy P.S: Has a good Star Wars joke near the end ;)

Not a terrible film by all means, kind of an entertaining if middling one. The first film Arthur and the Invisibles wasn't that great(to me that is, you'll think differently), rather average with some good-animation, music and most acting and voices- and bad things like the story, pacing and some scripting, but it's still the best of the three. Revenge of Maltazard was rather messy, not really coming to life with poor humour and an ending that felt unfinished. This third and final film Arthur and the War of Two Worlds is an improvement on the second, but for this viewer was still left wanting. The animation is very good though, colourful and well-rendered, in fact the whole film does look lovely. Sure, Maltazard's appearance is rather scary for youngsters but it was one of the film's cleverest touches. The music is rousing and beautiful, with bouncy rhythms and melodies that stick in your head. Most of the acting and voice acting is fine as well. Freddie Highmore is still a very likable hero, while Mia Farrow is a compassionate grandmother figure and Selena Gomez is very charming as well as natural(Madonna in the first film to me was odd casting, and sounded too much like trying to sound young) and interacts very well with Highmore. Lou Reed is so much better and more involved than in Revenge of Maltazard, there he sounded bored, here he sounded creepy if just lacking the suavity that David Bowie brought to the character in the first film. It actually helps that Maltazard is better-utilised here. The grandfather is also funny and endearing, and the duel on the toy train is exciting, that, the exhilarating final half-hour and Maltazard undergoing plastic surgery are the highlights of the film. Jimmy Fallon is a little better, less irritating than before, but he's still not very funny. Neither is the slapstick, which is more juvenile and dumbed-down above anything else. The dialogue does feel bland and underwritten, and while the story has its moments and has its heart in the right place it does lack urgency and sometimes logic. The pacing comes alive in the final half-hour but mostly it's rather staid. The world of the minimoys is an attractive one, but not one that entirely draws you in, while the live-action sequences are still not as impressively written or staged. All in all, far from terrible and has some good things about it but not a sequel or final film of a trilogy that goes out on a bang, though not quite bad enough to be a whimper, more semi-whimper. 5/10 Bethany Cox
