Spoilers
Ducktales was among the best Disney's Tv series
mainly because it borrowed characters and ideas from the Disney comics tradition
established on 1930.Characters like Scrooge McDuck,Flintheart Glomgold and Magica
De Spell had decades of developing before their appearance in the series while
some new characters like Webby and Mr.McQuack were rather fine.The First few
episodes were the best and they fited together as a movie.Disney should have
noticed the reasons of the series success.But no this movie places Scrooge,Huey,Dewey,Louie
and Webby against Merlock an immortal magician borned before the fall of the
Atlantean Empire on about 9000 BC.But the wizard doesn't appeared to have learned
much over the course of 11000 years.He used his magic powers for every stupid
reason he could thing so and depended on a jinni.A jinni,you know a creature
of Arab mythologie made of fire or air,supernatural creature inferior to angels
and devils.Those creatures have free will to decide if their actions are going
to be "evil"or "good" and can be trapped or used by those
who posses magic.But the jinni of this movie is a smart-mouth kid who grants
each master three wishes.Sound familiar?This was supposed to be Aladdin's jinn
particular case not a rule for all jinn.By the way Merlock is defeated way to
easily,the jinn loses his powers and though he mentions he can grant partial
immortality to the one asking none of the Duck thinks about it.They all waste
their wishes.This movies appears the Ducks as nothing more than lucky fools!Merlock
is an obsessed hippi more than a poewerful magician!The jinni is a disgrace!The
only character who is at his best during the entire movie is Dijon the whiningh
Arab thief who is not a worthy rival for just about anybody.Watch it only if
you want to see an average movie with lots of wasted potential.
