Review of Willow (1988) by Todd S — 05 Apr 2011
One of my 'big four' fantasy films, along with Krull, Dragonslayer and Legend. Thankfully this was made back before CGI was king, and everything was done with makeup and old-fashioned effects. It has all the elements of a great fantasy film.
A swordsman, an evil witch, spells, sorcery, etc. The score is great and so is the acting. Warwick Davis is fantastic as the title character, Val Kilmer is a hoot as the reluctant hero, and Jean Marsh plays a great wicked sorceress.
It holds up pretty well after all these years, and the kids will enjoy it as well.
