TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Frances Chung
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This is the worst movie I've seen for Slasher Month, not that I had high regards for most of these films anyway. This movie features the leprechaun claiming a girl to be his bride because a slave of his promised a descendant would be his bride or some stupid thing like that. This film is so idiotic as it doesn't even make sense within the context of the first film. The first movie shows the leprechaun being blown up at the end, but here he comes back with no explanation. I really miss Jennifer Aniston. Sure, it was awful she was in the first stupid movie to begin with, but at least they had an acclaimed actress in it.The leprechaun still has no name. This movie takes place at Saint Patrick's Day. I guess it's weird to watch this for a Halloween Month but with all the people the leprechaun kills, it's more appropriate here. There's apparently a lot of midgets who dress as leprechauns in this movie. Wouldn't that be demeaning? There's this long weird pointless scene where they try to get the leprechaun drunk to beat it or something. This movie is surprisingly boring. In the first movie, the leprechaun's weakness was a four leaf clover. Now it's instead lead for no reason.The leprechaun's killed by being impaled by a pipe which once again blows him up. In one scene, the leprechaun makes all his gold materialize in one place. Wait, if he can do that, why can't he just teleport his last gold coin? And how come in the first movie, the guy who swallowed the last coin wasn't immune to him like in this movie? Leprechauns can apparently teleport, imitate voices, shapeshift, levitate things, become invisible, and create illusions. Okay, this leprechaun is just too powerful. They can also grant three wishes, but I thought that was a genie. This movie is a stupid violent piece of garbage and I hate it. *

Leprechaun was a good little horror movie. It wasn't too violent, it was a bit scary, and it almost barely even earned its R rating, putting it in the PG13 rating, but nevertheless, an R rated movie. In Leprechaun 2, the film earns its R rating, with its content. It's gorier, it's got nudity, and it's got lots of senseless, bizarre violence. ( The girl/breast fan scene? Seriously, somebody thought that up!) While Leprechaun succeeded in at least sticking to a good story line, Leprechaun 2 clearly is just looking for something to build on. What better way then to start a story line originating from Leprechauns birthday! I'm not saying I disliked the sequel, I just don't think it lives up to the original. And yet this is not the weak link of the Leprechaun series, I found Leprechaun 4 a very weak "movie". ( I quote that, because I don't even think it deserves to be called a "movie". I'll review this one day, and explain why.) I'm not sure exactly what level this movie was aiming for, but I would safely assume the mark was missed, maybe not by much, but missed. Story line is...somewhat good, however, the violence and bizarre use of sex drains the energy out of it somehow. It works in some films, but doesn't seem to belong in Leprechaun, which is where I think they screwed up. Long story short, I think this is a fair sequel, a few problems that can be overlooked, drags a few scenes here and there, but all in all, I think this earns a 5 out of possible 10 stars. Hey, Warrick...do a follow up to Willow! I'm ready!

If you couldn't get into the spirit of the first one, I wouldn't bother with this one.The Leprechaun series is a special kind of series. I liked that they don't exactly follow the first one. The best comic books don't necessarily keep the same parameters; Silver Age Batman is not Christopher Nolan's. I liked that we are basically getting the same Leprechaun villain with a different back story and different powers/weaknesses. Leprechaun 2 has a couple of different things about it. I liked the fantasy based background story. The Leprechaun lore is explored in this one; it's more about the Leprechaun than the humans response to him. I'm willing to forgo the strangeness of a 1000 year old Leprechaun making his way from the Old World to the New World. I'm willing to forgo his adaptability to the ways of the modern world though he comes from the Dark Ages. I liked the silly rhyming lines spliced with unnecessary gore. It's nice to have some light- hearted comedy that takes me from point A to point B. Leprechaun is a threat, the good guys fight him, the story ends.

An evil leprechaun (Warwick Davis) is to take the daughter of his slave as a bride, but loses her when the slave sacrifices his life for her. One thousand years later, the leprechaun is determined to take the beautiful descendant of the woman for his bride.This is your standard 1990s horror sequel, not much different than the direction "Child's Play" or "Children of the Corn" took at this point. Not that the original was a terribly serious film, but it only goes downhill from here (should I even mention the Leprechaun in space or in the hood?) Whether you like this or not might depend on when you grew up. I was very much a child of 1990s, so the mid-90s films are a bit nostalgic for me. Are they good? Probably not. But 1993-1998 had a feel that has not been seen since -- this film falls in that category.
