Magical Legend of the Leprechauns (1999)

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

"The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns" Just look at the title and ask your self: "What is this?" Well, I'm now going to answer that. First I would start with the story. A "lepr...something" is in love with a fairy princess (sounds sweet). But they can't have each other (usual stuff) bla bla. Then Mickey kills a fairy. They're having a fight. The fairy kills one of the "lepr...whatever's" friend and then kills the fairy. Now the fairies wants revenge and goes to war against the "lepre...dudes". And then a war starts. Then some people has to save the world, as the nature goes amok, because the fairies are controlling the nature. So they have to stop the war, bla bla bla. So on, so on. Now with top stars: Whoopi Goldberg and (Randy Quaid) this movie sounds good. NOOTT!! As usual there are the special effects, which are of course bad, since it's a TV production. And so is the speed of the movie. And there is no Irish feeling in the people. None of them with the good, old Irish accent. Maybe that's because most the cast includes mostly British or American actors. So don't have high expectations on this movie, cause it (shall I use the word) sucks!!

To be honest, when my nephew insisted we watch the show I was a little sour and was'nt for it at all as it seemed too much like a children's show. Though as the show progressed I found myself more and more into it and ultimately fell in love with both the movie and it's well portrayed charicters. I would recommend this movie to people of all ages, it truley is a MUST SEE!

This is one of the worst worst tv movie series I have ever seen, and worst of all bought. It's boring, badly directed, terribly acted and not amusing at all. Hallmark may be eager to produce this kind of movies, but they should be more careful with their content. A total waste of time.

I got this movie for Christmas because I have been wanting it for a while. I saw it on tv I must say, this adventure truly is the type of fantasy I like to see on t.v. I am a strong believer of fairies and this movie really captures the inspiration of them. Although the Grand Banshee really had no characteristics of the true legendary Banshee, the rest had more truth in the movie to reality. I have done a lot of research and I did, in fact, find that some parts of the movie did not match the criteria of fairies. I will, however, say that most of the movie did live up to the expectations of fairieland according to humans. I could tell that the makers of the film really knew how to portray fairieland, due to research, for sure. Although, I'm sure only people like me would know what I am talking about. To sum it all up, this fairie adventure with a Shakesphere twist can really capture the hearts of believers or non-believers everywhere. I give it a 10 all the way!
