Best movie of this year hands down!

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

i must have seen a different film!!

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I know a lot of people consider this to be the best of the series, which let's face it doesn't say much, but I personally preferred the original movie by a whisker. This starts off 1000 years ago where the little Irish fella is trying to get himself a wife. Fast forward to present day (well 1994) Los Angeles and he's got his sights on pretty Bridget (Shevonne Durkin), trouble is she has a boyfriend who will do anything to protect her. Plenty of fun & gory moments to be had here.

Leprechaun was a good little horror movie. It wasn't too violent, it was a bit scary, and it almost barely even earned its R rating, putting it in the PG13 rating, but nevertheless, an R rated movie. In Leprechaun 2, the film earns its R rating, with its content. It's gorier, it's got nudity, and it's got lots of senseless, bizarre violence. ( The girl/breast fan scene? Seriously, somebody thought that up!) While Leprechaun succeeded in at least sticking to a good story line, Leprechaun 2 clearly is just looking for something to build on. What better way then to start a story line originating from Leprechauns birthday! I'm not saying I disliked the sequel, I just don't think it lives up to the original. And yet this is not the weak link of the Leprechaun series, I found Leprechaun 4 a very weak "movie". ( I quote that, because I don't even think it deserves to be called a "movie". I'll review this one day, and explain why.) I'm not sure exactly what level this movie was aiming for, but I would safely assume the mark was missed, maybe not by much, but missed. Story line is...somewhat good, however, the violence and bizarre use of sex drains the energy out of it somehow. It works in some films, but doesn't seem to belong in Leprechaun, which is where I think they screwed up. Long story short, I think this is a fair sequel, a few problems that can be overlooked, drags a few scenes here and there, but all in all, I think this earns a 5 out of possible 10 stars. Hey, Warrick...do a follow up to Willow! I'm ready!

This movie is a marvel to say the least. The first Leprechaun was such a horrible movie that I went into this without any trace of hope. I've seen Children of the Corn sequels okay? I know what I'm in for. This seemed like something I would loathe being on my screen. No one is more shocked than me that I actually consider this a... good movie. Not a guilty pleasure but a... GOOD MOVIE? This is a movie that fixes 90% of the problems from the first movie. The pacing is miraculously improved, the acting is improved, the humor is improved, Warwick Davis is better, it is more creative, it does a better job exploring and parodying Irish myth and lore, and it has... wait for it... likable characters!!! Imagine that!!!Sure, finding a wife is no better a premise than finding gold, and wrought iron as kryptonite makes as much sense as a four leaf clover. Also some things in general don't really make sense and you get a bad line reading here and there. But good god, I was actually not annoyed this time! How refreshing. If I caught a Leprechaun and received wishes, one would be that they just released this in place of the first movie. Jennifer Anniston didn't need that film. I didn't need that film. It is a complete waste of time and should be skipped at all costs. This one, however, is actually entertaining and stands on its own as a fun horror comedy. I can only hope that the later sequels can hold on to this quality.

It's truly amazing how much life that this "Leprechaun" series has had. It's endured for over 20 years; there's even a remake in the works. Then again, I suppose there's something to be said for this kind of dumb fun. And make no mistake, it *is* dumb. But it's also genuinely funny at times, and is not without a clever moment or two. The makers of these movies know that they're not making Shakespeare, and create agreeable horror comedies that may have some viewers groaning, shaking their heads, and struggling to get through them, and others having a fine old time. Making a difference is star Warwick Davis (it is nice to have seen him so gainfully employed), whose enthusiasm is hard to resist. He's obviously enjoying himself.In his second performance as the gleefully sadistic Leprechaun, he attempts to snag himself a hot young wife. But his slave interferes (the girl that the Leprechaun selects is his daughter), and 1,000 years later the Leprechaun resurfaces to amorously pursue his slaves' descendant, a girl named Bridget (sexy blonde Shevonne Durkin). Naturally, Bridgets' boyfriend Cody (Charlie Heath) isn't going to sit idly by and watch a demented fairy take his lady away. So Cody teams up with his irrepressible drunken uncle Morty (veteran comedian Sandy Baron) to do battle.Baron is a real scene stealer, and in addition to the attractiveness of co-star Durkin and the performance of Davis, does provide some justification for sitting down to watch this. The movie does get tiresome at times - and, for something running just under 85 minutes, it does drag a little - but it's amusing often enough to make for decent entertainment. At the very least, it does find the time to feature cameo appearances by the legendary Clint Howard and Kimmy Robertson of "The Last American Virgin" and 'Twin Peaks' as a pair of tourists. Also showing up are Al White (one of the jive talking dudes from "Airplane!"), Tony Cox ("Bad Santa"), and Billy Beck ("The Blob" '88). Production design, lighting, and visual effects are good, but there won't be enough gore for some tastes, especially considering the fate of one character. The music by Jonathan Elias is actually damn good.This is about as enjoyable as any movie titled "Leprechaun 2" could be.Five out of 10.
