Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings

This was the biggest waste of an hour and a half the I have ever experienced in my life. This was beyond a piece of (you can guess)... In-fact, it was so bad that I can honestly say that it is the worst movie, I repeat THE WORST MOVIE ever put into the bargain bin... I can't believe that the crew that made this "film" (if you can call it that) didn't review it at the end of production and just say to themselves: "Oh wait, never mind I guess it does suck." That really makes me question American talent today and where it is going. AND WHAT'S WITH THE TALKING MOUSE!? If I say anything more about this abomination to modern cinema, I think I just might break something. If you are by some strange stream of events in question about whether or not to purchase this movie, the answer is no!!! I will find you, stalk you down, and lecture you of the modern mechanics of making a decent motion picture you imbecile!!!!!! AHHH!!!! -10/10

If you like Mystery Science Theater 3000 then you might be interested in seeing Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings.

You will need a few things to properely make fun of this flick. Here's what you'll need:

1. Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings DVD. You can find this flick at your local Wal-Mart in the discount bin.

2. Some funny friends.

3. A camcorder set-up to record only the screen on your TV. Just use a tri-pod or prop it up so that you are recording what you see on your TV. The reason you do this is so that you can record the film and all the comments you and your frends say. Put the DVD in and hit play. After that, hit record on your camera and start making wise on a film that was shot at an amusement part during the off season. Later, when your friends have died, you can watch your version of the film and enjoy.

What's my favorite part of the movie? The part where the talking mouse and Max Magician smoke pot in Max's room, filling it up with smoke. Well, that's what it looked like to me and my friend. "Do you hear sirens?"

This was probably the worst movie ever made. The special effects were terrible. They would show movies of animals and add voice overs to make the animals "speak". The mouths wouldn't move although in some shots they gave the animals food and they were clearly eating to make their mouths move. I don't know what that one person who gave this movie a 10 was thinking. I actually bought this movie because I heard how bad it was to get a good laugh out of it....and I did. The whole movie was clearly revoiced and most of the dialogue didn't match up. I would have given this a 0 but they don't have that rating. I would recommend to find this in the wal-mart bin and buy it and you will laugh yourself to death at the terribleness.

I went to Wal-Mart and as I usually do purchased some b-movies. This particular one caught my eye because I love fantasy and science fiction. Little did I know that this film would be so painfully bad.

The plot centers around a boy who is given a book of magic spells one day from a friend. After receiving this book he enters a magical fairy world filled with elves, trolls and annoying mice that won't stop laughing. In this world the lord of the Unseelee(sp) court is bent on capturing a series of magic rings and conquering the peaceful forest-dwelling seelee of the Bluebell forest. As usual there is a single great champion prophesied to defeat the evil unseelee and save the peaceful Bluebells, yeah that would be Max.

It seems nobody in the 'Real world' is played by an actor with any actual acting talent. The characters, especially the main villain, are so annoying that halfway through the movie you'll wish that you were deaf. The king of the bad guys as a matter of fact has this annoying goat-like "bah" that he says like every 3 seconds. And that stupid mouse wont quit laughing. The script is absolutely awful with dialogue that will surely embarrass anyone watching the movie. After all you could never admit to watching Max Magician and retain a shred of dignity. And boy is that main villain dumb. So dumb in fact that his loyal servant Fetch seems to realize from time to time how inept his master truly is. Fetch however does not seem to be smart enough to ditch old goat head form greener pastures.

The movies only up-side is that it has excellent make-up work. All the gnarly faces are suitably fantasy-like and do not hide or hinder the actors' eyes or mouths. And Erika Ann who plays Princess Etain is cute as button with her pointy elf ears.

This does not save this highly mediocre film however.

I bought this for my 5 year old and he loves it. The acting is pretty awful and it's quite painful to sit through as an adult. However, it's your classic good vs. evil fantasy plot. There's no foul language and the violence is mild and fantasy-like. If your child likes Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings type movies, pick it up. You can typically find it in discount bins at super stores.
