Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "The Portal" is a 2-year-old 11-minute live action short film written and directed by Jonathan Williams that was successful enough to be turned into a mini-series little later. I myself cannot really see the hype though. The story is nothing new though. A wizard arrives in today's world through a portal and, of course, quickly falls in love with a common business woman. The rest is a mix of comedy, fantasy and romance, but none of these 3 areas seemed very convincing at all. I also did not like the ending. Such a gigantic change in terms of story and this was simply not elaborated on well enough in my opinion. Pretty surprised this has such a high rating. I don't recommend the watch.
