The Wizard (1989)
8/10
Awesome childhood movie
13 February 2021
Is it Nintendo sponsored? Yes. Is it basically a feature length commercial for Nintendo? Yes Is it actually good as a movie? Actually, yes.

It is an 80's movie, those had a bit of a type and this ones fit. Yes, as it is already established this was a puff piece but it actually turned out great. 80's music was also great and it shows in this movie. Send me an angel by Scorpions fit in perfectly with the scene. Fred Savage was great and the female lead was even better with her sassy attitude. Re watched it recently and it is holding its ground still.

If you watched this when it was released, re watch it with your kid, youll have a blast!

Dunno why it didnt get renewed, the cast had chemistry and the plot was half decent, it didnt take itself too seriously and it was funny

decent movie, heavy story
2 May 2018
As a movie the piece is nothing spectacular and as such might not capture the average movie fan but for us who like a movie based on real events this is pretty good, to me a true story based movie is almost always better than the fictional one. Before you go saying "you really believe there are 100% true movies" ill stop you right there, no, i do not, but you dont have to take the movie at face value it can inspire you to do your own research about the matter if you are interested. To be frank i dont think i (or you) ever actually heard a 100% true story, human memory is not 100%, rarely anything is, this was close enough to get the point across.

This was a very big scandal, there is a reviewer here on IMDB who stated it is a fictional movie and that he/she was actually involved in Food-for-Oil which was nothing but sunshine and rainbows. I have a hard time believing that. Why did the people involved fled, why did all those companies settled and paid enormous fines, just not to go thru a hassle of proving oneself innocent? I am sure there are very fine men and women in the UN who really try to help but any and every organization is susceptible to corruption and UN is no different, where there is power there is abuse of power.

I wish there were more movies that are doing scandals of the time past so we dont forget and dont let them repeat.
