The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens Audience Reviews

Clevercell Very disappointing...
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Drakeluvr Hey! It Harry Potter! XD Oh wait... it's not! Why is that my summary and opening line? Well, I am a great fan of Harry Potter and look for movies of similar content and quality and then, well... I found this and now I just want to gouge out my eyes.If you are a fan of Harry Potter, with the great cast of actors that actually have acting ability, please take my advice and AVOID this movie like the plague! There's no emotion in this film at all. The kid bully, and his angry face was about the only emotion I saw in this film. I take that back, this hero kid is supposed to be worried according to the narrator, but I think he's confused on looking worried, because he just looks and acts depressed, and either way, I supposed that could be counted as emotion.The guardian is a troll, alright, I get that, since you can't have a half giant due to copyright and all of that but SURELY you can hire someone to do make up rather than purchasing some cheap dollar store mask, yes? We have the bully and he head bad guy chasing after the kid and his friends in the forest, but - oh, wait, they're just there, their not CHASING them, we'll just stand here and yell, okay? The set design in the 'spooky' cave is simply dreadful and the kids show know fear, or emotion at ALL in times of danger, and I've seen FAN videos that have done a better job than this. This is most definitely not worth the hour and a half long show. I strongly suggest giving it a pass. Now I'm going to go crawl in my bed and hopefully some REAL Harry Potter will help soothe my aching head.
Gabelaire Oh, that's right, it's the smell of my brain rotting. I started watching the film with an IQ higher than the average person and somehow during the course of the film managed to lose all my ability to think and/or function right for an entire week. The acting was so horrible, it was like these people had just been randomly picked off the street by the director of the film "Excuse me sir, could you give me just maybe two hours of your time? That's all it'll take, I swear. All you'll have to do is say a few lines and don't worry about putting meaning behind the words, it's highly over-rated and we wouldn't want a half-ways descent film that people would enjoy let alone watch. What's that? Oh, you don't want to look stupid on film? OK, we'll find somebody else who's ten times worse than you are." On top of the dreadful acting, the show just seemed to go on and on and on. It never ended. The first five minutes had me wanting to go and violently hurl myself off the edge of a cliff into a shallow pool of water with jagged rocks at the bottom. I didn't even think it was possible to make me WANT to commit suicide. I didn't think it was possible that this movie could reach the level of "Slipstream" that seemed as if it was just thrown together within a matter of seconds. Well it did. It wasn't quite as bad but if you ever have seen the movie with your own two eyes you'd get the picture. Please, please I beg of you, do not let yourself or far worse your children watch this film, it will come back to haunt you and it's just plain torture to sit through an hour and a half of something this abominable. I have set a warning at the bottom of my review.(Oh and by the way this gets a zero out of ten, if it were possible I would rate it lower)WARNING, Side affects of watching this movie may include: Insomnia, Nightmares, Hallucinations, Nausea, Vomiting, Severe Internal Hemorrhaging, Brain Decay, Diarrhea, Headaches, and a very possible state of Coma. Not meant to be watched in the presence of children age ten or younger. If such an event occurs call an ambulance immediately but by then it's probably too late. Your child has already been scarred.
Azlan Lewis If I could give his a minus review I would give is a -10. Even with the synopsis I saw on my in home viewing service, I felt this was a Harry Potter rip-off. I was right to a degree.You shouldn't watch this movie it just not tolerable. Had the acting been better it would have been something to watch.Well this is NOT a movie/video on how NOT to make a movie as one review had stated it is one that shows you the actors should get a script long enough before the actual film date so they can be believable.A lot of the details are filled in by voice over from the "Know-it-all" girl (Hermiony Granger rip-off from Harry Potter)but in an annoying manner. While in HP, Hermiony at least is shown to get her knowledge by reading book. This "Know-it-all" girl just seems get her facts out of thin air and though are factual they come across as annoying.I couldn't watch it threw the end. I am glad I am not charged for each thing I watch on my in home viewing service.This is one to skip.
j h Amateurish in every respect. Not watchable. This movie was a big disappointment for my wife daughter. We sat down for an evening together and ending up annoyed and feeling cheated. The movie would be useful for anyone interested in how not to make a movie. A well made movie is seamless and the viewer is not distracted while watching to wonder about he skills of those who made the movie. Conceivably a viewer might be forgiven if they thought that anyone can make a movie. This movie is a sure cure of such delusions. Just watch this and get reminded of how much effort it takes to develop a coherent plot, to have words for the characters that don't make them sound repetitious and insane and to set up shots where viewers can actually see what is going on.
