1/08: Didn't I see this before already?

Is the plot in The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter the same as the original? Films shouldn't be treated like a chore, but this one feels like it.

The acting is all right, and the set design looks better than The Wizard of Oz. Yet the story is silly as ever. The first fifteen minutes looks like a bad Mentos commercial.

I don't understand why everybody from the original has been replaced. Maybe it's an attempt to fool me into thinking that this one was going to look new and different when it's in fact recycled material from the original.

All in all, The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter never seems to end, but thank goodness, it does end.
