Instead of meeting interesting and colorful characters like the Rock Giant and his friends, The Neverending Story II: The Next Chapter decides to spend time on Bastian’s dad, who discovers his son is missing, tries to find him, and then we get to spend scenes with him reading and reacting to Bastian’s journey described in the book. The one good thing that the movie does is it makes Bastian’s dad aware of Bastian losing memories, and that evokes a truly heartbreaking feeling.
Well, it does, but only because Bastian is away from his father; he can’t see how his son is becoming an insufferable jerk as he loses more memories. Bastian is the only character more easily manipulated and more annoying than Anakin Skywalker.
