The New York TimesJanet Maslin
Made with great effort and no charm, this mirthless fantasy film returns its young hero, Bastian Balthazar Bux (Jonathan Brandis), to the land of Fantasia, which when first glimpsed here appears to be made entirely of cellophane. Read full review

Never Ending Story II is as flat as the pages of its script. Read full review

If you want to stoke children's imaginations you've got to offer them something more inspiring and graceful than this film, which could give video games a good reputation. Read full review

Boston GlobeMatthew Gilbert
With little going for it except its references to part one, The Neverending Story II is a neverending disappointment. [09 Feb 1991, p.11]

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalle
Bastian is a difficult kid to sit and watch for 90 minutes -- self- important and with a shrill voice. The story is all over the place, setting the audience up for things that never pan out and defying its own logic. [09 Feb 1991, p.C3]

EmpireWilliam Thomas
A totally unneeded sequel which does nothing whatsoever for the legacy of the original tale. Read full review

The Neverending Story 2 is a story you may want desperately to end. Soon. [11 Feb 1991, p.F10]
