Arthur 3: The War of Two Worlds


A direct follow-up to The Revenge of Maltazard, the battle has been brought to the human world, and so the stakes are much higher.  However, it is also because of this that the movie ends up being much more unbelievable and exaggerated.  Maltazard is now in human size and has brought his army with him, they attack the town.  Chaos ensues and so how will Arthur, who is still in Minimoy size defeat him?  Well, through the bloated 100 minutes you get to see Arthur travelling and meeting old "friends", do some battle on toy trains and cars (which gets trashed and destroyed very easily) before finally able to be in a spot to defeat Maltazard.  This journey is in now way satisfying and somehow, the writers have still managed to make the movie boring.  Theoretically, there are a lot of action sequences and plenty of things happening but it just does not feel exciting.  It loses the charm the original had, which was an adventure in a fantasy world.
