Willow review

Consult The BONES!!

Being overshadowed by Lucas' most well known masterpieces (Star Wars Saga), Willow isn't as popular. This doesn't matter, due to the cult following this epic-fantasy entails. I can see why it has a following and I'm a part of it hahaha. Fantasies are very enjoyable and they're either a 'hit' or a 'miss'. There is no miss my any means in this film.

The story involves dwarves, witches, sorcery and strange, bizarre creatures. The make up is well done and goes unrecognized. Willow, a dwarf, is a common farmer/gardener like most of the village. He strives to be a great sorcerer/wizard among he village. Little does he know, that in between his everyday life, he's appointed a peculiar task. I won't say what it is, but this carries on the plot and he ventures off to meet some intriguing lovable characters and some ya can't stand. The other main character is Madmartigan. He's played by Val Kilmer and it's a laugh riot. Kilmer kills and no-one else could do the role as well as him. The other actors..

are great choices for their characters as well.

The tale is filled with humor, wonder and a great plot. Sure the CGI is cheesy and not brilliant by any means, but that's what makes it likable. To make up for it, the puppets and costumes are quiet wicked! Seemingly appropriate for kids, this film is very dark and I don't recommend it for younger viewers. For anyone else, it's very enjoyable and has hilarious memorable lines. My favorite is "Outta the way Peck!"..you'll see why.

Rating: 9.1/10
