Leprechaun Returns

This film is great for what it is: a comedic sequel to the original movie. A big strength lies in that it is very self-aware and never takes itself too seriously. The corny jokes are funny, as are the wee one's evil antics. The characters are mostly one-dimensional slasher archetypes, but for the most part they add to the comedy. The acting is not bad at all with comedic timing being generally pretty good and the lines delivered well. The deaths are absurd, and so far beyond the realm of physical possibility--even while suspending disbelief--you can't help but laugh. Again, it doesn't take itself seriously and doesn't expect the viewer to either. Given this, the writing and direction are pretty great. The leprechaun's makeup is on point, and the special effects are surprisingly good.

Genuinely funny, self-aware, and more or less Oscar-worthy compared to what I have seen of other Syfy Originals.

Well, first of all I must admit that the "Leprechaun" movie franchise haven't been all that much of a spectacular franchise to begin with. But having seen the 2018 addition, I must say that they should have let the franchise go to a blissful sleep many, many years ago and just let it sink into oblivion.

This movie wasn't even remotely scary, nor did it have anything in it that came close to being scary. It felt like a spoof on its own franchise in a way. Whether or not that was intended, I can only speculate, but I highly doubt it.

The leprechaun in this movie wasn't portrayed by Warwick Davis, whom solely is the leprechaun character through and through. He just have so much more mannerisms and a charming quirk to his way of portraying the leprechaun character. The leprechaun in this 2018 addition felt like as if the air was slowly deflating from the balloon, as he lacked luster, charm and wickedness.

"Leprechaun Returns" was driven by a horrible flaccid storyline, which was so predictable that you saw things happening a mile away. Which was a shame, because that aspect took away a fair amount of enjoyment from the movie.

As for the characters in "Leprechaun Returns", well they were one-dimensional cardboard cutouts that lacked personalties and interest. It was like watching a horribly ill-fated theater production where no one on set was working together.

The jokes in "Leprechaun Returns" were flaccid and it just lacked that quirky dark humor that was present in the first couple of movies.

I managed to stick with this movie to the bitter end, though it was an ordeal to do so. This movie will probably disappear into oblivion as quietly as it managed to appear.

I liked how this one was a direct sequel to the original. It was a blast and the deaths scenes were awesome!! The Syfy channel did an awesome job with this one and the guy who played the leprechaun was pretty good! I definitely had fun with it!

It's the best Leprechaun 🍀 Movie in the franchise. 5/10

This movie was not bad at all. Obviously, don't watch it if your expecting to see an Oscar worthy film but if you are a fan of horror and cool ways to see people die, then give it a go! The director did a great job in taking this movie back to the original in the way of comedy. You won't get scared watching this film but you have a laugh or two. The return of Ozzy was really cool and they did a great job trying in the original film. I think what I enjoyed the most about this movie was the Leprechaun. Trying to fill the shoes of someone like Warwick Davis is pretty darn impossible but Pondo did an excellent job! He was hilarious and brutal just like the leprechaun should be.
