Set one year after the first movie, Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard starts off very slow and never lifts its game, resulting in a bland and bloated film that disappoints in every single way. Once again, the movie is a mixture of live-action (in the human world) and animation (in the Minimoy world). After a very long beginning, Arthur finally transforms and returns to the Minimoy world to respond to a distress call. Despite the title, Maltazard does not make an appearance until the end of the movie, and the ending was the final nail in the coffin. It feels like a blatant cash grab, stating that it will be continued in the third movie. Revenge of Maltazard disappoints even more because nothing actually happens, making it an extremely boring movie. Avoid watching even if you are a fan of the original.
