Arthur et la Vengeance de Maltazard

Loved the first one but I think this is somewhat weaker movie. Great Computer graphics Image, very nice directing, loved the looks of the movie, very pleasant to the eyes but the story isn't as appealing as the first one. Maybe that is a problem common to all trilogies, being the second one the least appealing of all. I have seen the first in French version, this one I watched in English, loved both versions but I think the English one is slightly better because as the actors are speaking in their natural language things seem more natural when in real life scenes It is a very nice movie to show to our kids and can be used as a nice entry level movie for European Cinema, for preteen kids. It keeps that good French tradition of great care with image and details. all looks so wonderful! Still it is good fun and in the end it seems to open the door for an absolutely fantastic 3rd one! Hope my expectations come true.

Of all the movies I have seen, and that is quite a few since I am a projectionist at a cinema, this must be one of the most pointless movies ever made. It is just the fist half of a story that is finished in the sequel movie, Arthur 3, but it could easily have been cut down to around 10 minutes and included in the next movie instead. There are so many pointless scenes and so little actually contributing to the story. At least it is only pointless and not outright agonisingly bad, which saves it from getting a 1* rating. I would recommend skipping this one and just watch the recap that the next movie starts with instead.

Really enjoyed the first one(the french dubbed one, with all the scenes intact) and enjoyed the second one as well. Fun movie, funny humor(it's not tenacious d funny, I mean come on It's a still a kids movie). Watch in french with English subbs, sounds better and makes a whole lot of sense cause the animated segments are made by french people(They recorded it in the suits, with all their gestures and stuff, and were originally made in french, and you can notice this(in all of the movies) cause they speak really fast, and if you watched french movies ever in your life, you'd know they have a fast tempo. Fun, enjoyable and easy to watch movie, i recommend it to kids as well as older people Enjoy :)

While the original film wasn't exactly a masterpiece either, this one digs lower. And I can't say it's an improvement. The music is corny. The titular villain only appears pretty late in the film. The characters are sideshows, most of them. I really can't say I liked very much about this film at all. Then again, perhaps it IS a plague when considering they decided to make a book into a 90-minute film, but I don't know. This whole film, to me, felt like an unnecessary sideshow, and the ending doesn't help it at all. Maybe a rental when it's available, but otherwise don't bother. This was a bigger disappointment than Terminator: Salvation even if watched with lower expectations.

I saw this at cinemas as a kid, and was disappointed to realize that it is only part 1 out of 2. I must say it is good though now looking back to it and knowing this fact. I feel like the parents got more of a personality and you actually like them now. They also like the kid more for a change. I think they blended reality with fantasy in a perfect way, there was was harmony which made you relax and actually enjoy it. Ofc if you nitpicking it you can always find something, but if you are only wanting to enjoy the ride with your kids, it is welldone. Many new aspects and fun additions to the world. Compared to the first movie I would say it held up great. But be prepared they will want to see the next part because the story did not get far and to actually get the full storyline you need to see both parts.
