Review of Willow (1988) by Rachel P — 01 Mar 2013

First time watching it, albeit 25 years late, but it's a passable fantasy adventure, even with the dodgy special effects - the two-headed meatball thing was terrible! Warwick Davis is so young, especially after having watched Life's Too Short! It takes A LOT from Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit - lots of different races, lots of them small in stature, going on a quest to a giant castle, finding an unlikely hero, protecting one object (it is a cute baby!), etc.

.. It reminded me a bit of Your Highness, which did a pretty good job spoofing this type of film. Not bad , but it definitely doesn't hold up that great...
