Fantasy is one of the oldest movie genres. Since the days of Georges Méliès and Alice Guy-Blaché in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these movies of magic, fictional worlds, and otherworldly creatures have been among the most popular in the medium. As film became a storytelling art form, fantasy was already a well-established genre for it to illustrate its narratives in the most enchanting ways.
Though it's slightly better than its predecessor, Highlander III looks, sounds, and feels horribly cheap. It has a pair of delightfully ridiculous performances in Christopher Lambert's and Mario Van Peebles's, but for anyone who doesn't enjoy so-bad-they're-good films, watching this threequel would be torture. Lifeless and full of tired clichés, it's a disgrace to the Highlander name.
7 'Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie' Directed by David Winning and Shuki Levy When it comes to classic childhood television, every generation tends to look back at their own favorite version of the Power Rangers most fondly. However, the franchise has proved on several occasions that it isn't infallible, and one such occasion was in 1997, when Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie came out.
✕ Remove Ads 5 'Beowulf' Directed by Graham Baker The Old English epic poem Beowulf has been adapted on several occasions, both on the big screen and outside of it, but never as disastrously as in 1999's film of the same name. Set in a besieged land, it's the story of the titular character, who must battle against the hideous creature Grendel and his vengeance-seeking mother.
For Jack Black completionists who want to see him in his fourth-ever feature film role, NeverEnding Story III is, quite tragically, a somewhat obligatory watch. Anyone else, though, is better off investing their time on something more fun and worthwhile. Like watching paint dry. Potty jokes galore, a vapid plot, and an alarming lack of Fantasia due to budget limitations make this threequel a terrible waste of time.
