Anyone else out there may fondly remember the original movie. It captured our imaginations and took us to a place of fantastic adventure and will be remembered by most viewers as the pinnacle of family fantasy films. The second was not bad, but it wasn't exactly a shining gem of cinematic art either. Now comes Neverending Story III... absolutely, without a doubt, the worst of all three, and one of the worst movies of all time.
I have heard so many negative things about it for many years, so one day I decided to watch it with an open mind. I wanted to turn it off 15 minutes in, but I held out hope that it could get better in some way. Well, I was wrong, and it just got worse and worse until the finale, which had me face-palming on the couch for what seemed like a number of minutes. Upon reflecting on what I had just seen, I just sat in a daze, astonished that a studio could manage to destroy a franchise's future so utterly.
I will never watch this movie again and I regret ever watching it in the first place, because now that I've seen it, it is forever engraved in my memory and came close to ruining one of my fondest childhood memories. "So bad it's good" does not apply to this film. Some more creative viewers may find some small charm in it, but, as everyone had told me for years, it truly is THAT BAD! The studio who produced this garbage should be ashamed of themselves.
