The plot is basically "Jack Black bullys a kid, so he hides in a book." Which is fucking comedy gold.

"We must not give in to the Nasty" is the most unintentionally hilarious line ever written for a children's movie.

I remember when I rented this film, when they got to Rock Biter singing "Born to Be Wild," I was so horrified that I not only stopped watching the film, I actually experienced DEEP HURTING from a movie for the first time. Luckily, I popped in my copy of Network, and all was well. Speaking as a recovering NC fan, I actually think these commentaries are pretty good (I also listened to the Secret of NIMH 2 commentary). It's fun to hear Doug just be himself for once, rather than as a character.

Is it odd that I think Jack Black looks really good in a leather jacket?

The director of this movie must have been like: "You thought Neverending Story 2 was bad, wait until you see what I do with it"

It'd be really interesting if the dad, like, took Bastion aside and asked him if anything new is happening in Fantasia. "Any new problems that they need the hero Bastion to fix?"

Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder from the Little Monsters.

This is the only movie of the trilogy that has no relation to the book outside of the characters (which are completely wrong) the first film and second film at least have some relation to the story in the book.

The "Heart" of the bad movies? I remember them mentioning that in Garbage Pail Kids. So from what I can see: Jack Black in this film, Bea Arthur in Star Wars Holiday Special and "Juice" in GPK.

wow i envy the Critic, he has a brother who is like his best friend, it is awesome!

They should've kept the theme song parody, rock biter funeral, and general zod jokes they mentioned

Is it weird that I wanna see Jack Black as Kahn?

All three films were filmed in Vancouver, and all three have the same producer. (The first two films use most of the same locations in Vancouver, while the third film uses Vancouver Technical School and Metrotown mall, Burnaby.) They likely didn't reuse the puppets from the first two movies because: a) They didn't film the fantasia scenes in Vancouver originally (Falkor's scene is all green screen in the first movie) so the puppets weren't actually there. b) Muppets fall apart and don't survive shipping (look up Hoggle lost luggage) And trying to find the 3rd movie, it is more expensive (like 50$ on Amazon) than buying the first two movies new. I had to find the "Miramax bundle" with crappy mastering.

My grandpa's favorite movie was Neverending Story, which is hilarious because he was a grizzled Vietnam vet, which means at some point in the eighties a forty year old scary dude sat in a theater thinking Falcor was the shit.

I think it's funny that home depo would actually sell a crowbar to a guy whose laughing like a mad man

This is one of my favorite reviews-they point out why. This is just a hilariously bad movie, and Jack Black is priceless in this and the Khan jokes make it even funnier, and it's just so insulting and stupid that it just boggles them mind. It's like the Tom and Gerry Movie-once you get past the horror and revulsion, this is just prime for tearing apart. A movie that you can genuinely hate and be satisfied by that hate, and still enjoy just for the madness and mindfuckery of it all.

The kid ended up like his mom in free willy, gone without a trace and no explanation what so ever.

You destroying that dvd right there, that's what I want to do to every single copy of God's Not Dead.

I think the Donald Duck cartoon Rob is referring to is entitled "Cured Duck." The scene involved Donald failing to open a window and taking it out on Daisy's house.

I had no idea that Tony Robinson was NES 3, must've needed the money after Blackadder ended.

"North By Northwest?" "Uh, close - Superman II." I mean, they're practically the same movie when you think about it.

"you're crazy!" "I thought I was a Pisces"

you don't need to have scene Wrath of Khan to get the jokes. Silly people.

I love those voices they do at 25:05.

Man, what I wouldn't give to hear the Walker brothers make a full song based on the Never Ending theme.

The Free Willy Kid didn't go anywhere really...he did guest star in Sabrina The Teenage Witch and the Client

Imagine if the Neverending Story went down the Land Before Time path and had 12 sequels. THEN, it really would be neverending.

That last line "Read a book!" is a quote from the Tick.

that critic transporting thing had me in stitches!

13 sequels, actually.

For the scene at the end where he destroys the DVD, I wonder if at any point they thought about spoofing the “printer destruction” scene from “Office Space”?

Do a commentary on your Master of Disguise review! 😂

I’m pretty sure they didn’t follow the books, especially considering how the author HATED the original movie. Since authors of the source material have a tendency to do that sort of thing, even with the good adaptions

A woman sang the song, Beth Anderson. It was composed by Giorgio Moroder, and the lyrics were written by Keith Forsley. :D

The Kid from Free Willy, he's currently playing Bass in a band called Fermata

The song name is "born to be wild"

it's a guy that sings the neverending story song. his name is limahl. he was also the lead singer of thay 80's band kajagoogoo

I tried to watch this movie the other day. Doug wasn't kidding when he said the film felt like forever!

I also really like how the Childlike Empress in this movie ... easily looks to be in her mid-twenties.

In actuality, the Free Willy kid isn't anywhere anymore. HAH!!

Is he talking to himself? Or does his brother has a really similar voice...

I wonder how many people ask for the Critics autograph.

OK. The first movie followed the first half of the book (with a few liberties). The second movie followed the second half VERY loosely. The third movie is pretty much a completely original story. I hope that one day, there will be a decent movie adaptation of the whole book. There's also an animated series which was actually quite respectful of the book (most of the episodes were based on short stories from the book), although they used some of the second movie as a base. It's actually good.

@LeeroyJenkinsstudio, he's apologized for the Mako thing about a hundred times & he didn't even really make fun of Pete Postlethwaite, it was more of a "oh, he's in this movie, too." thing.

How didn't you use the Over the Shoulder Boulder Holder joke. That would have been funny.

im pretty sure when you read it out loud then the book goes crazy

I remember this movie's trailer scared me, and it was because of those shellfish freak things that attack the empress during the climax

@ECL28E He was also in a movie called Cops and Robbersons, which I think is pretty funny but would love to see Doug do a review for.

This is my favorite episode.

I’m I the only one who thinks that jack black would been great at playing villains

@LeeroyJenkinsstudio He knew about the two and watched some of their movies, but he doesn't follow them throughout their lives. I've been caught off guard finding out that some of my favorite actors died myself. I'm really behind the news.

When I saw never ending story 3 I thought it was a spoof.

the neverending story song is actually a duet

The Free Willy kid kinda fell off the face of the Earth

Beautiful opening :'(

At least Power Rangers tries to be good.

The nasties from the never ending story 3 vs Juice and his gang from the garbage pail kids movie Who will L- No wait! They both suck!!! The Nothing Sucks them up out of existence...

How... do you make legit commentary about movie commentary? Like, "Oh yeah this part I was talking about how the movie did this!" Oh really... You don't say.

For those that are curious Part 2 is PARTIALLY based on unused parts of the book while Part 3 has jack shit to do with it!

Is the other guy doing the commentary Rob Walker?

Best theme song ever

22:52 I think Rob needs a drink of water!

I dread to think what parts 4-12 would be like.

Thats understandable,when I think of neverending story 3 I wish my mind was elsewhere lol

yes it is

@jstrewth I don't know what you mean by recovering fan?Are you saying that you like his reviews or not?

23:41 - SKIDOOSH!

The first time i read UltimateDumeandGwens comment i thought it meant the director XD

No, he's talking with his brother. His brother kinda sounds like him, though.

lol why does jack black always do that creepy stare O_O

Neverending story 2 was not bad. I wasn't a patch on the original, but it really wasn't as awful as your making it up to be. When I saw the neverending story 2 when I was 12, I liked it, it felt like a return to fantasia. I knew when I saw NES3 that they gave up and weren't trying anymore and it was shit, but the second one wasn't bad at all, for a kids fantasy movie it worked fine.

Is that "READ A BOOK!", "YOU'RE MAKING US LOOK LIKE JERKS! READ A BOOK!" from The Tick?

Just want to share since the Critic wished Valcor caught on fire from the fireworks; I actually had a dream that Valcor (this version - not the other movies) drowned in the swamp of sadness.

Who did you thought it was?

For some reason I think he should of used Tenacious Ds wonderboy I dont know where he would fit it in but it wouldve been funny.

@LeeroyJenkinsstudio He didn't even know they died when he made fun of them.

wait! theres a book?

They made a third one?!!!

@qaz123342 Well... Wouldn't they have to destroy the Neverending Book to destroy Fantasia?

No, they don't yell at each other as much.

What kind of music is played with 26 minutes?

is it just me or does anyone else think of doug and rob as attackingtucans and joshjepson?

LIMAHL sang the never ending story song... I'm pretty sure...

He went all Gordon Freeman on it's ass!!!!

thers gonna be a 4th 1 called batttel for fantasa

25:05 Funny Voice

@imdb88 Oh~ ^^ You mean like Final Fantasy??

@mrdropkicker1 Well, I used to like his reviews, but after a while I kinda got bored with them; I'm more into Spill.com now, even though it's a completely different thing.

I found a summary online of the original book and the actual story goes to the second movie... kinda.. but I imagine it's so much better XD I guess some people in Hollywood have nothing better to do than bullshit a good movie with a shitty sequel XD

Was this a theatrical release or straight to video?

26:53 Critic eats Bastian

He said Daffy.

Lol Does anybody know the Looney Tunes cartoon they spoofed at the end? 8)

This movie makes me want to shove a nail file up my nose! What's that? That doesn't make sense? NEITHER DOES THIS ^&((*%$## MOVIE!!!! *deep breath* Okay, I'm fine now.

Which is worse; this or Sharkboy and Lavagirl?

Apparently, the TV they have are cartoon rock biters.

A man and woman sang the Neverending Story Song

@imdb88 I think they would run out of ideas by the 5th movie.

Similar voice.

This film is tied with Terminator Genisys as the worst sequel of all time in my opinion.
