Review of Willow (1988) by Conner R — 12 Jun 2010
A fun little fantasy movie (yes, in the fact that it has midgets galore), this is very much the Lord of the Rings story that never was. A lot of the characters and themes are similar, with a touch of George Lucas to make it a little bit more interesting and unique.
I don't think there has ever, in the entire world, ever been such a large gathering of midgets. I have never seen so many of them on screen, it's bigger than the Wizard of Oz. It's like seeing the Shire, but with non-normal looking small people.
It's really something to stand back and be amazed at, George Lucas sure made some friends when he did Ewoks. Val Kilmer is at his best in this, he is the most trigger-happy and funny sword champions of all time, even in league with the Highlanders.
There's also an extremely racist made up term for midgets called "peck", enjoy using that and getting street tackled.
