“Now I don't think Willow is the best fantasy film ever made(a three way-toss up between Pan's Labyrinth, Edward Scissorhands and The NeverEnding Story) nor is it the worst(Dungeons & Dragons). It does have problems, but I thought it was entertaining.
My first problem is Warwick Davis, now his title character is a very charming and likable character, but Davis's performance is somewhat uneven.

"Sorsha played by Joanne Whalley Madmartigan: "I don't love her, she kicked me in the face!" "
“80's fantasy, there really is nothing that compares to it and this flick is a fine example of it, every aspect of it just comes across as grand, it has all you could ever ask for in a fantasy movie, mythical creatures, a likable hero, magic, an evil villainess, and wonderfully whimsical worlds and environments. Warwick Davis shines in the role and the creatures and SFX are all top notch, kudos especially to the team behind it all and also to director Ron Howard, in addition to this there are a lot of scenes I love about this. Including the infamous 'you're all pigs' sequence, yes I like a scene where people get turned into pigs...don't kinkshame or witch-hunt me for liking an animal transformation scene.” read more
"There is the whole plot point, where the evil queen, doesn't mince words over the fact, that she wants to sacrifice and vanquish, a baby to an another dimension. Also, there are a lot of epic battle scenes, trolls, and a massive fire breathing dragon, with two heads, that is one of the most impressive looking dragons, that I have seen in a film, yet. "
