Review of Willow (1988) by Jean X — 03 Sep 2010
Willow is a fun and exciting fantasy film that packs action, love, adventure and magic all in one spectatcular story. Written by Star Wars creator George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard, this film is a unique film because of its characters and the world that they live in.
The film, which is about a duo of misfits who race across the lands to protect a baby who will bring the downfall of the reigning evil queen, is original in every aspect. The special effects are wonderfullly done.
The fights are exciting and heart-racing. Hell there is even a fight between the queen and a powerful sorceress who ends up punching the queen in the face. It can't get any better than that. But the beautiful thing about this movie is the message it relays which is to always believe in yourself and that when you do, nothing is impossible.
Warwick Davis is a joy and executes everything perfectly. Val Kilmer brings humor and action to the screen with his character. All in all, an excellent fantasy film.
