Very best movie i ever watch
Fantastic!
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Beautifully well done, they should make more like this.
This movie is funny on so many levels. Whatever horror/comedy mash-up the directors of this series are aiming for, I think they did the best job on this one. I liked it better than the first one because the Lepruchaun came into the story earlier. I could kind of relate to the lead, who isn't running ragged trying to impress a girl with lots of crap getting in the way at his age? I loved the drinking scene with the Lepruchaun and Morty. Apparently if the green guy gets drunk enough he CAN lose his powers. Lot's of over-the-top deaths , including one with an espresso machine of all things. The graphics in the Lepruchaun's house were pretty good by B-movie standards, and that's how I judge this thing, mainly because it is a sequel centering around a killer Lepruchaun. I guess, compared to the other ones (I've seen 5 out of 6 of these things) I thought the other characters were a little more developed than in the others. It also brings our ways-to-kill-an-evil-Lepruchaun count to 2. What I'm saying is, this movie is so bad it's good. I can't give it much higher than a 6 because it is thoroughly a B-movie but I think it can be fun for the right audience. For fans of bizarre movies I recommend it. If you and you're friends want something to laugh at, especially when you're up half the night or more, this will do it.
If you read my review of "Leprechaun" and wondered if Warwick Davies survived the first film then welcome to your answer .. No, he died in the first film . But Yes, he came back!!Like the first film this one starts with a flash back (to 1094 AD) sequence to set the scene, in this movie the Leprechaun has turned 1000 years old and is looking for a wife. During the flashback he is tricked by a O'Day (a slave) into sparing the young lady who turns out to be the slaves daughter, angry about being tricked he makes a magical pact to one day wed the descendant of his previous potential bride - this will coincide with his 2000th birthday. It's easy to see why this film is referred to as "one wedding and lots of funerals". Despite finding a potential wife (Bridget Callum) he can't go through with the marriage as the young hero of the film (Cody Ingalls)managed to steal a gold coin which will prevent the marriage from taking place. This film is very similar to the first film in that it's pretty awful but still entertaining. It's an odd jump from the first film's objective of retrieving his gold to looking for a bride in the film. Upon reading more about this I found that the audience would normally assume this to be after film one in chronological order when in fact it's the 5th film if you do your research - just trying to get your head around that after watching the films back to back will confusing. Some of the standout scenes include the Leprechaun conjuring an illusion of Bridget who wants her breasts kissed only for it to actually be lawnmower blades; the St Patrick's day Leprechaun's all drinking in a bar together who treat Warwick's Leprechaun as one of their own; the tree lair of the Leprechaun with it's magical tunnels; the consequences of locking a Leprechaun in a wrought iron safe and what happens to anyone who'll free him; and not forgetting the Leprechauns super charged customer painted drag racing/ go-kart!!!!Similarly to the first film the lead up the end of the film is an almighty battle between good and the Leprechaun. Will he survive this film? Will he win? Will somebody kill him with wrought iron or a 4 leafed clover? Will Bridget nullify the wedding? Will Cody ever get a break with his famous tour job? Can a gold covered chocolate coin be responsible for the downfall of evil folklore? Will he come back to be in a third film?? You'll have to read my review of "Leprechaun 3" to find out ;)
This movie is a marvel to say the least. The first Leprechaun was such a horrible movie that I went into this without any trace of hope. I've seen Children of the Corn sequels okay? I know what I'm in for. This seemed like something I would loathe being on my screen. No one is more shocked than me that I actually consider this a... good movie. Not a guilty pleasure but a... GOOD MOVIE? This is a movie that fixes 90% of the problems from the first movie. The pacing is miraculously improved, the acting is improved, the humor is improved, Warwick Davis is better, it is more creative, it does a better job exploring and parodying Irish myth and lore, and it has... wait for it... likable characters!!! Imagine that!!!Sure, finding a wife is no better a premise than finding gold, and wrought iron as kryptonite makes as much sense as a four leaf clover. Also some things in general don't really make sense and you get a bad line reading here and there. But good god, I was actually not annoyed this time! How refreshing. If I caught a Leprechaun and received wishes, one would be that they just released this in place of the first movie. Jennifer Anniston didn't need that film. I didn't need that film. It is a complete waste of time and should be skipped at all costs. This one, however, is actually entertaining and stands on its own as a fun horror comedy. I can only hope that the later sequels can hold on to this quality.
