Review of Willow (1988) by Orren J — 27 Jul 2009
Source Material: Original:George Lucas (story) and Bob Dolman (screenplay).
Acting and Dialogue: B+: Remember I am reflecting on a 80's movie so yes I see it as somewhat cheesy, I give kudos to Warwick Davis for being a mighty actor even thought he's stature is working against him.
Art Direction: B: For an 80's fantasy it wasn't haft bad.
Cinematography: B: The cinematography work hand-in-hand with the art direction, so it wasn't half bad.
Direction: B+: This is were Ron Howard stared to gain creditability as a filmmaker.
Sound and Music: C: Really not that remember able, mainly the music represented "peril".
VFX: B: Good for the times, it not as magical as today's VFX.
Overall: B-:I enjoyed this film. As of late I been watch old school Sci-Fi and Fantasy to compare them today wok. So if you have my same ambition to explore old art then yes I recommend it for an older fantasy.
