Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I like Leprechaun but not a lot of people like it. I laugh often watching this and the kills are interesting. The Leprechaun is a joke for a horror villain, but to like a horror movie, you have to go along with it. Except if it really sucks (Leprechaun 4). That's how I like this movie. Enough with that crap. The story is that Leprechaun's gold has been stolen and kills 4 people to get the gold. It's a good film, just go along with it and you might like it.
Great movie made me laugh. I also like see Jennifer Aniston back in her glory days.
This marks the beginning of one of the worst film series ever made. Both this website and RottenTomatoes have these installments as some of the worst movie series of all time and it's not hard to see why. It's really amazing how powerful this leprechaun is. When looking at slasher movie villains, I'm not kidding, this guy has killed more people than any other villain who talks! Yeah, even more than Freddy Krueger! His total count is 45 and Freddy's is 42! I guess the reason the character isn't more popular is because of how stupid he is. This movie is also Jennifer Aniston's film debut.Yeah, I doubt she looks back at this role in pride. The only reason I didn't give this less than a 3/10 is because it did make me laugh with how utterly stupid it was. Also, from what I've heard it's at least not as bad as the many sequels, which I'll unfortunately get to eventually. This movie features a mass murderer leprechaun who wants all his gold coins. That's really all you need to know. Even being melted at the end doesn't kill him off! Well, his closing narration assures us that he'll unfortunately be back. This leprechaun can literally teleport, reform, mimic other voices and flip a car over. He's that powerful! *1/2
A strangely common misconception with people is that this movie was supposed to be scary. Seriously? You actually think that a movie about a killer leprechaun was meant to scare you. Unfortunately, that is what so many people think. Those people apparently have never heard the term "horror comedy" or "cult classic". So, here's some full closure. No, this movie isn't meant to scare you. It's meant to amuse you. And it fulfills it's purpose beautifully.So, the story begins with a man returning to America from Ireland, where he tells his wife that he stole a pot of gold from a leprechaun. She, of course, doesn't believe him. However, moments later, the Leprechaun, played by Warwick Davis, shows up at the home and tries to steal his gold back. But the man outwits him and traps him in a crate.10 years later, a woman, played by Jennifer Aniston, and her father move into the same house, now abandoned, and hire "3 Guys That Paint" to work on it. But when one of the painters accidentally sets the Leprechaun free, all hell breaks loose. The Leprechaun's motivation is plain and simple: he wants his gold, and he'll kill anyone to get to it. The reason so many people love this movie is because the characters take their situation so seriously even though their dealing with something as silly as a killer leprechaun. It's the perfect recipe for a funny, gory, and one hell of a good time.Leprechaun was followed by several sequels. By the third one, he was in Las Vegas, then in space, in the hood, back to the hood, and by 2014, WWE studios had removed Warwick Davis, along with all the wit and charm he had with him in the butchered reboot, Leprechaun: Origins.So, in short, (no pun intended) this movie is as charming as they come and I would recommend it to any fan of horror.
