Review of Willow

Willow (1988)
6/10
Hasn't aged that well but the little ones might still like it.
9 December 2022
I remember really liking this movie as a kid and I was pretty sure it's one of those you probably shouldn't revisit as an adult. Because I want to watch the new TV show that just came out, I went against my gut feeling... and I was right. I'm hoping the little ones can still find magic in this movie but it definitely hasn't aged well, from the uneven pacing, to the overacting, and of course the terrible special effects. There are other similar movies from the 80s that hold up better so I know I'm just not harsh toward a product of its time, and it really suffers from several flaws. So I did not really enjoy it outside of the nostalgia but again, very young kids might.
