Summary: For shame
Comment: These books are great and the movie made a joke out of them. Visser 3 looks like a blue hair ball and theirs NO ACTION!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A shame to the name Animorph
Comment: This like its predeseres is an insult to the magical books. The books were great this wasn't. Gone is the intense action and fights the book described. Now we get garbage sneaking around. The andalites are very fake and are never showen all at once. No taxxons at all. The hork bajar just stand there. Gone is the witty smart acting of the books replaced by total garbage. Read the books and stay away from this.

Summary: The Legacy Survives
Comment: This is the best of the 4 movies! The 3 episodes are The Capture Parts 1 and 2 and Not My Problem. In the Capture Part 1 The animorphs discover the yeerks are in charge of a health clinic where the governor will receive a treatment and if the Yeerk's plan is successful he will be a human-controller. He is also running for president! Jake falls into the Yeerk Pool and becomes a controller. In the Capture Part 2 Ax figures out that Jake is a human-controller. Jake keeps reassuring the animorphs that he is not and they figure they must lock him up for 3 days to be sure. On the thrid day Jake waits for Rachel (who is guarding him) to fall asleep. He then morphs to dog and escapes the barn undetected (or so he thinks). He leads the animorphs to a new entrance to the Yeerk Pool. He finds out that his friends knew he escaped since Rachel had only been pretending. The Yeerk dies and the Animorphs meet at the mall where Jake calls tom disgusing his voice telling him not to give up. In Not My Problem Jake has had enough between fighting Yeerks and keeping up with his schoolwork. He wishes he never met the Elfangor and the Ellimist grants his wish. Then durind their new lives Tobias (who is the only animorph) tells Rachel about the Yeerk threat. At 1st she thinks he's nuts. Later they all go to a Sharing meeting where Tobias is caught sneeking around. It is then revealed that Jake is a controller. After school Tobias calls Rachel and asks her to meet him at the Spider Club (the place where the Sharing meeting was held). Jake follows her and a lion saves her from Jake. The lion turns out to be Tobias. He and Rachel tie Jake up and then Jake asks him about the "andalite" that attacks him. It turns out that Rachel has been a controller since the previous night and then she tells Jake everything. Tobias tries to escape but Tom, Cassie, Marco, and 2 punks cut off his escape. He is captured and Visser 3 comes in and promotes Jake to Visser 10. Jake tries to infest Tobias but fails when the real Jake fights back. Jake is then in his room back in a world where Tobias is still a hawk, the animorphs exist and none of them are controllers. Was it a dream or real? All in all this is a great movie.

Summary: Read The Books
Comment: Here is my positive and negitive lists. Positive: Good Acting, Good time passer. Negitive: weak special effects, bad alien voices, toatlly different from the book, visser three looks dumb. All in all this was the best of the four, but they do weird things, like they find ax in the forest and Cassie has long hair in some episodes and short hair in others. I suggest you read the books.

For those not familiar with the popular Nickelodeon series, Animorphs concerns the adventures of five teens who have been given the ability to morph into animals and bugs. Don't dismiss it as a sci-fi Saved by the Bell. The acting is surprisingly top-notch, and the stories are fun and thrilling. Animorphs: Part 4--The Legacy Survives finds friends and morphers Jake (Shawn Ashmore), Rachel (Brooke Nevin), Marco (Boris Cabrera), Cassie (Nadia Nascimento), and Tobias (Christopher Ralph) in their big battle against the Yeerks, sluglike aliens who aspire to take over the world. The Yeerks insinuate themselves into a human ear and have all the appearances of being human. The three-episode adventure offered in Animorphs: Part 4--The Legacy Survives is like the creatively creepy They Live! for the 7 and up set. The actual morphing process, as the teens turn into creatures, is especially neat, and audiences may find there's not quite enough of the inventive special effect. Since the episodes are designed for television, there are obvious breaks for commercials (distinctive fades-to-black) that may be distracting, but the video features footage that hasn't and won't be seen on television. --N.F.
