After doing someI remember liking this movie as a kid, but after re-watching it recently it became apparent that this movie does not hold up.

It is true, that this sequel cant compete with the masterpiece of the 1968 movie. But still I enjoyed it and the conclusion in the end is serious. Yes, some of the things were a bit ridiculous.

Yes, some of the things were a bit ridiculous. But still I liked, that this movie showed a bit more of the world, yet it could be more: they could show a big kingdom, who is going to a war with another kingdom, but they showed a village and a abandoned underground station.… Expand
