Review of Willow (1988) by Émy M — 08 Nov 2009

Better than expected. Though, still, it wasn't great. It's just a fun popcorn film to watch once or twice. The score was amazing, it's probably James Horner's best. Really, all of the technical stuff were well done (effects, cinematography, editing, etc) for that time. The ending battle scene was brilliant for that time (especially the effects).

Val Kilmer, even though I always thought of him as a bad actor (probably cos of Batman), was so good that it made think, "he should've been cast as Dunbar in Dances with Wolves". He was good both with humor and seriousness.

I thought the brownies were annoying and the plot was a little cliched (evil queen, someone is the target, a quest, etc).
