Well, first of all I must admit that the "Leprechaun" movie franchise haven't been all that much of a spectacular franchise to begin with. But having seen the 2018 addition, I must say that they should have let the franchise go to a blissful sleep many, many years ago and just let it sink into oblivion.
This movie wasn't even remotely scary, nor did it have anything in it that came close to being scary. It felt like a spoof on its own franchise in a way. Whether or not that was intended, I can only speculate, but I highly doubt it.
The leprechaun in this movie wasn't portrayed by Warwick Davis, whom solely is the leprechaun character through and through. He just have so much more mannerisms and a charming quirk to his way of portraying the leprechaun character. The leprechaun in this 2018 addition felt like as if the air was slowly deflating from the balloon, as he lacked luster, charm and wickedness.
"Leprechaun Returns" was driven by a horrible flaccid storyline, which was so predictable that you saw things happening a mile away. Which was a shame, because that aspect took away a fair amount of enjoyment from the movie.
As for the characters in "Leprechaun Returns", well they were one-dimensional cardboard cutouts that lacked personalties and interest. It was like watching a horribly ill-fated theater production where no one on set was working together.
The jokes in "Leprechaun Returns" were flaccid and it just lacked that quirky dark humor that was present in the first couple of movies.
I managed to stick with this movie to the bitter end, though it was an ordeal to do so. This movie will probably disappear into oblivion as quietly as it managed to appear.
