Producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard deserve credit for trying. They tried to make a fantasy epic with "Willow" and they came close. Unfortunately, "Willow" misses the mark. It looks great but the story is weak. I first saw "Willow" in the theater and I liked it but I don't like it as much now. The best part of the movie now was the best part of the movie back then, a wildly dreamy Joanne Whalley.
