Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
sdpigott132 Well first off you should know that "The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns" is a double plot and double love story. The main plot and story is about the fairies ,both solitary(leprechauns)and trooping(fairies). For hundreds of years the leprechauns and trooping fairies have been at war and the Grand Banshee has just given a decree that the fighting is to stop at once, and anyone who continues to fight "will pay the ultimate price"(death- fairies and leprechauns are supposed to be immortal and never die, except for drowning- that gets em). If any of you remember Romeo and Juliet this will set off warning signals. One of the trooping fairies kills a leprechaun, and the leprechaun's friend kills the trooping fairy. It continues on in a Romeo and Juliet fashion(except the lovers don't die and all those who did die are brought back to life by the Grand Banshee - well all but the one trooping fairy who wanted the fighting to go on and who picked the fight with and killed a leprechaun). The other plot and story is about humans. One human saves a leprechaun from drowning and by that one act of kindness gets DRAGGED kicking and screaming in to the world of the leprechauns and the war between the two groups of immortals. While befriending(and helping the leprechauns) he has to figure out what to do about his love interest(and her half-a-dozen,huge,over-baring,hotheaded,overprotective brothers).I'm not going to tell why the Grand Banshee brought the leprechauns and trooping fairies back to life, or what characters had to do what to get her to renounce her punishment on those who disobeyed her. And you will just have to watch to see what happens with the humans of the story. And you should find out what happens at the very, very end of the story. I have alway disliked the story of Romeo and Juliet. This has all the good stuff from Romeo and Juliet and it has a smarter lead couple and a MUCH better ending. But that is just my opinion. Peace out and good viewing. love S
sgoldenbird So there weren't very many big name movie stars in it, but who cares? Zoe Wanamaker was great and so were quite a few others. If you have no imagination and enjoy stunting the growth of creative minds, you probably won't like this movie. The storyline did have some throwbacks to classic themes, but it was done in such a way that it wasn't tiresome. The scenery was beautiful and anyone that loves Ireland will enjoy seeing the blue skies and rolling green hills. Whomever designed the costumes for the characters must have had fun. The were very pretty and fit the personalities of the respective wearers. Anyone that enjoys a little magic will enjoy this movie.
Charlene This movie is the best movie in the universe. Daniel Betts (plays Mickey Muldoon) is so hot in this movie, I love the way they made Romeo & Juliet into a fantasy, and that song! omg I love the song it's my favorite. If you haven't seen this movie, or if you don't like it...you suck! Sean Devine is awesome as Mercutio, Mickey rules as Romeo, and Jessica as Juliet is perfect. Shamus is hilarious, Mary is wicked cool, Jack is just wow, etc etc etc! I can't get enough of this movie. I can't wait to order the DVD. I know I can get it at www.deepdiscountdvd.com for only nine some-odd dollars, so I'm going there next. Hope it comes this time, I ordered it before but they messed something up and it never came.
trickyvixen While I watched this I kept thinking about William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", which is very similar to this movie right down to the warring families. There are however many differences which make this better than just another adaption to the play. I enjoyed watching this mini series as I love magic and anything to do with it.
