Birithivy Y Willow - 9/10. I remember watching this in English class way back in middle school. Honestly, my english teacher was a gym teacher at heart, so he thought that by playing movies all the time it would help teach us. Maybe the logic wasn’t there, but I surely appreciated all the great movies he showed us that year. Willow is a wonderful and unique tale. With a surprisingly mega wattage combo of Ron Howard as the director and George Lucas as the writer, we get an interesting and super original epic fantasy film. The one thing that I really remember about this movie was that the set design, costumes, and music were all pitch perfect. Again, there’s so much ideas and untapped stories in Hollywood that there are possibly many other original ideas that could be on the same level as Willow. The film acts almost like a fable or fairy tale at times too, which lends it a classic feel. I kinda wish Lucas continued giving his story ideas to others, because in the 80’s alone he allowed other people to continue his Star Wars movies, and gave Spielberg Indiana Jones, and gave Howard Willow. That right there could’ve gone wayward if Lucas wanted to do the direction as well, but he was smart by allowing others to interpret his works. Cause though some people might have forgotten about this film, it still has a following because it was done in such a cool and memorable way. Great film, and one that feels like a storybook being made into a film as well!

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review RM R One of my favorites from when I was a kid. I still love it today. Great cast, setting and music. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Joseph K The greatest movie. This is Lucas' celtic version of Lord of the Rings with the ring removed and the good celtic people fighting the evil germanic people. This movie teaches kids to believe in themselves. All of the actors and actresses are superb. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Johann D. M This epic dark fantasy adventure film is directed by Ron Howard and based on a story by George Lucas in which a young farmer who aspires to be a magician is chosen to undertake a perilous journey in order to protect a special baby princess from an evil queen. This is a remarkable fantasy world put into a single film that speaks volumes about 80s movies. The state-of-the-art special effects are delightful, when they are not laughable but it is understable for the time. It is overall a charming and heart-warming story with good performances, and the great Warwick Davis makes it really compelling. Even if the finale could have been more epic, the film itself has likeable characters, beautiful scenery and some nice and cheesy comedy. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Shen L Truly a classic of the genre. The new one is an embarrassment compared to the original.
