Reviews
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Nikolaos Zafeiris I saw all the episodes of Fantaghiro and i have to say that i liked it very much. Except the last two episodes, where the plot was at least insufficient and the end was one of the worst i have ever seen in movies. Fantaghiro is a fantastic fairytale and the love between Fantaghiro and Romualdo is in all episodes the basic theme. In Fantaghiro V this epic love is destroyed and the whole story gets a disappointing ending. It would be better to end this story after the fourth part. This good movie did not deserve an end like this. All in one i would say that the last two episodes of the Fantaghiro series are not comparable to the rest of the episodes.
Teodora Dumitrescu I saw it when I was a child and fortunately I'm starting to forget it so I'm close to pretending that it never existed. I always loved Romualdo, my brother liked Tarabas and I respect his choice because Tarabas is indeed an interesting and captivating character but the other guy... well not so bad but he is far far far from the charm of the other two characters.I think i agree with another comment from here: maybe we should see the fifth part as another story from another dimension in which Fantaghiro never met the two above, never fell in love and marry. I understand that it was meant to be another sequel so maybe they would have fixed it, or try to anyway but the fifth part had so low ratings (what a surprise) that it killed all future ideas of a sixth movie.So if there is still time - don't watch it, if you can - forget it, if not take it as a separate story with no connection with the other parts
emimv i remained very surprised when i saw Fantaghiro' s ending.i feel betrayed.. all the magic was killed.. all the hope was killedFantaghiro was about this unique great unbreakable love.. and the makers of the movie killed it.. all Fantaghiro does is to fight for her loved ones and the greatest power in her is the power of love for Romualdo.... "voi siete guidata da amore e non da odio"it's true that she belongs in a peaceful land.. but in a peaceful land that she and her Romualdo protects from evil... there is no Fantaghiro without Romualdo.. there is no more great love...i wish i wouldn't have seen this last part... i wish it wouldn't have been created...a story has magic, has great unseen love, has the power of good and righteousness always victorious. but here they only killed the bad ugly guy but love did not win.. love was killed..in a land without evil there is no good!!!!!!!!!!! there are only plain lost souls.. a land that doesn't have the power of choice is a land of lost souls... this is god's greatest gift of life: we have the choice and we just have to learn what's the right one...
Ksenija Mikulas I must say this, all the fans of the Fantaghiro series, that have grown with her beautiful role in their hearts as children , may say that the fifth part of the series could be disappointing because of the unexpected events and missing characters... But for the first time now, after seeing the whole five movies again after more than ten years, I am aware that all the movies are as far from perfect as they could be.. For instance I can say that the fourth part is also missing one of the main characters "prince Romualdo" even if he is spoken of throughout the whole movie, he's not there and even the final scenes have been cut of from the first movie.. So (even though I'm not much fond of Romualdo, I have always voted for Nicholas Rogers and hoped he will win Fantaghiro in the end but he didn't), even if the fifth part of the movie has an uncommon plot (if compared to the rest of the movies), Fantaghiro going to another world because summoned by a bunch of kids who need someone to protect them, and fighting the Nameless that tries to conquer all the worlds in all dimensions so he could eat small children to became human, I find it interesting. Even if the plot does't have anything to share with the other movies, if you think of the movie as a separate story, it could become more interesting. Luca Venantini for example, who plays the role of Aries is quite attractive and he had a very nice part, a well trained swordsman, kinda like the captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean if I should point a similarity. Always ready to take a chance and willing to help even if he says he won't. I liked the thought of Fantaghiro falling in love with him (although I was still disappointed she never ever considered Tarabas...). My opinion of the movie in the end was... when I was a kid, fantastic, and now, maybe I could give it an 8 out of 10. In the end I am and I will always be a fan of Fantaghiro. And I would gladly see a remake of the movies if someone ever comes to the idea of making one.
