 | I also grew up on this film, and like Goonies and Monster Squad, it really helped to grow my imagination. This movie is great. If you have no problem suspending your disbelief and don't take every movie so darn seriously, then you will love this film. I've watched this movie easily over a dozen times and never get tired of it. I would recommend this to anyone, especially kids, because it has a good moral lesson at it's heart. The characters are lovable. I'd give this 10 stars if I could. |

| Another film with great production values struggling to hold up a defective screenplay carried by a pathetic script and mediocre acting.
It's somewhat hard to sympathize with an undersized hero whose voice sounds like that of a wailing sheep: ba-ah-ah-ah-ah-d. The film is supposed to take place in some fantasy past but the script spews out modern idioms and values out of the characters displacing them even more from the context of the story. The final scene with two women fighting against each other as if they were professional boxers was even more atrocious bringing the film down into the pits of vulgarity. The only good role and acting in this film was by Val Kilmer.
Stay away from this pathetic film: it's not even worth renting. Watch the 'Lord of The Rings' trilogy or 'Dragonslayer' instead of this putrid crap. |

| I first watched this as a very small child, and it has remained one of my favorites ever since. This movie sparked my imagination and started my great love for science-fiction reading. Some of my acquaintances have found it to be corny, but I think this is a great family movie. Those of you that have enjoyed the Harry Potter series will also enjoy Willow. |

| I have found so often in the fantasy genre very few well done films.
Most are second grade B movies. I recommend Willow to any fantasy film
buff. Highly entertaining, great effects and acting even by the baby.
Val Kilmer is suited for so many roles and his role as Madmartigan in
this film is no exception. Jean Marsh's role as Queen Bavmorda is
similar in ways that remind me somewhat of the evil queen in the Snow
White story (only meaner). And of course we must not forget the role of
the dwarf Willow Ufgood (the hero of the story) played by midget
Warwick Davis. This film held my attention through out it gets an all
around 5 from me. |

| I have enjoyed this movie for the last 15 years and it never gets old. It is one that you can watch with the entire family and is still fun for all ages. No need to go into much detail as everyone has covered that, just wanted to get my raiting in. |
