Firslty how odd - yet wonderful - is this?!
Over TWO YRS down the track, and I am replying to the original post!!!
Thats pretty extrodinary!!!
Anywaysback to topic
Im a big lover of such films as Neverending Story, having seen all these types when I was a child.
Neverending Story 2 is my fave out of the trilogy.
It captures my imagination the most and intrigues me.
Nuff said as plenty has been said already
Thanks

So, what the original poster, and, those agreeing with him/her are saying is that I should leave my hair one style for the rest of my life? Or, that I should never tan in the sun? Or, that I shouldn't exercise and get some muscles. So what if the Childlike Empress has short, dark, curly hair. I mean, i'm sure that even though Fantasia is far different than Earth, its inhabitants still get hair-dos/cuts and makes some changes with themselves. Atreyu is a warrior, which means he probably spends alot of time in the sun, so, why not a tan? And, Bastian is like five years older, so, i'm sure he's grown a bit from the first film. You people make no sense. People change drastically in five years (or, was 2 suppose to be in the same timeline as 1?). Heck, even in months. Just months ago I had a mo-hawk and now I have thick, feathery hair. Anyways, though 2 was as good as the original, it still was enjoyable with some pros. Here's some:
The Villain: Xayide was great as the villainess. I mean, she just looked cold and mean.
The Ship of Secret Plots: While a brief encounter here, the characters were awesome. I thought that lady who sung when she spoke and played that harp (or whatever it's called) was pretty neat.
Xayide's fortress: I thought the whole thing with the dark hand was awesome. It looked very creepy.
Xayide's henchmen: Tri-Face was just freaky and Nimbly was pretty awesome as a villain turned good.
The Childlike Empress: While I like the facial innocence of the Empress from the first, I like the style of the Empress from the second as much/better.
"The Neverending Story": The theme song from sung in the end credits of part 2 was, IMO, better than that of the first. The first was more pop, while the one from part 2 was a bit more rock. The instruments were much clearer in the song as well, and, I liked the guys vocals better from part 2's version.
Anyway, that's just my two cents on The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter.
I mean it is bad. Ya know. Like bad as in bad. Like, I'm bad, Jamal, you know it. -Elvira, M.O.T.D. -

This films bastian was my favourite, but I don't understand why the original actor couldnnt have played the part, as a kid I really liked the diving board scene!
I thought the non Fantasia parts wwere the most interesting memorable parts?
