this is from a review of leprechuan: back 2 tha hood on imdb. allow me to indulge you:


"First of all, I'd really like to know why they had to go "back 2 tha hood". I mean, Leprechaun in The Hood was enough for me. On the other hand, this film is a lot better than the last one. There's that wonderfully animated opening of the film and there's a couple of elaborate visual effects shots that make for an impressive whole and that really shows that Lions Gate care for this series. In this film, they even remember to throw in the rainbow. There's also a scene in which the Leprechaun gets high, really high. That really enhance the story of the film in a nice way, cause these films are all about having fun and to entertain. Don't ever take these films serious!

The actors are all great and they don't really overact in any scene as far as I could tell. The story of the film is the one thing to complain about, as always with these kinds of films. An example: Why the characters in this film keep running away with the gold after that they have established that they have to return it in order to live is beyond me. For the next film they really need to come up with something fresh. I mean, there's only that much that you can take. It's just not enough to set the film in a different setting. Las Vegas, Space, The Hood...

Note to Lions Gate: Go back to the origin of the series and dig a little deeper into the real legends and tales of Leprechauns. It's never to late to invigorate a dying series. Just do it right the next time, for the fans."


i think the second paragraph is a real gem. and the note to lions gate telling them to do a little more research just about kills me right out.
