This film does a good job in its character development, story line and music. Max is called on to save the forest people from the grip of a power hungry king. He finds himself in a mystical land that is occupied by elves, ogars, and talking animals. Here he learns the importance of believing in himself and what he can achieve if he really sets his mind to it. Unfortunately, our hero finds himself embracing magic and an ancient book of spells and socery. He uses this magic and spell casting to solve all the problems he encounters and thinks nothing of it. In an otherwise good low budget, well produced film, the magic and strong occult content, ruins Max Magician and the Legend of the Rings for us and consequently cannot ring true as a family film.
