Great

This kind of movies often grow big in the children's imagination. I can only assume how much I would be in love with it, if I saw it as a child. I would love the face of the king's advisor, the lovely Selenia, the silly spiders, and the funny dad.
I didn't like Max and the city part, but I figured out that it's ok, because it's not in the main focus, and Arthur is different, and so should we, who like him, also be kind of different.
And that hillarious part when all the animals in the wood looked at Maltazard!
Great.

I liked this one for the same reason that I liked the first - it is a wonderful concept, full of imagination, wonder and possibilities. However, I disliked this one because, unlike the first one, it wasted most of the film and ended just when it should have been getting started.
I am torn, as a result, what to give it out of 10.

Well, you should consider that this film was supposed to end just when it was getting started. That was the whole reasoning with splitting up the last two Arthur films, so don't be too hard on it. Maybe you should hold off on rating the second film until you see the third film. Then, and only then, would you be 100% certain that it needed to be split in 2. Then you should be certain what rating it deserves. Personally, I did find the second film great. It has excellent imagination behind it, and the allusions to Arthur of myth I find great, as well. I haven't watched the third film yet, however, so I can't properly rate this film myself, but I would definitely give it at least a 7 for the live action performances alone.

ALL HAIL THE HIGH QUEEN!!!!!
