Willow was awesome. It was right there with 'The NeverEnding Story' in my opinion... I also liked 'Flight of the Navigator'. Every time I think about these old favorites, they always make me feel like they are in my top 5 - 10 movies, all-time... I must have around 45-50 movies in my Top 10 by now, =-)

:up:

This movie is what happens when Star Wars and Lord of The Rings have sex. Let me show you...

Willow = Frodo, and he lives in an area similar to the shire (Warwick Davis was also an Ewok) with a whole bunch of hobbit-looking villagers.

The head wizard, who is looking for an apprentice, is similar to Qui-Gon Jinn. One of the beginning scenes is a village meeting to decide what to do about the baby (sound familiar to LOTR?) The baby (Elora Danon) is comparable to the Ring in LOTR. The evil sorceress Bavmorda is the same character as the emperor in Star Wars. Val Kilmer is Willow's version of Viggo Mortensen in LOTR. They hold a campout in front of Bavmorda's castle (sound like the end of LOTR III?) And the list goes on. I gave it a 7 for liking it so much when I was a kid. :fresh:

This movie is a classic and in many ways set the stage for Lord of The Rings. It may not be the best movie ever made but it is certainly a must see

This movie was good. It had some good actors and good acting. The adventure seems like something out of a D&D adventure, but overall, I enjoyed this movie. I recommend this to anyone who loves Fantasy Movies....it's well worth the watch

This week I took the chance to watch some movies I've been meaning to see anyway (it was this or studying).
I saw 7 of them, so will be starting from the bottom. The first four shall be posted tomorrow.

Here are the first three, from worst to best (of this entry).

After enjoying Catch Me If You Can, I was expecting more great lightweight dramedy from Hanks and Spielberg. Boy, was I disappointed.
There's nothing wrong with the premise (based on true events), but there's something wrong with the way it's handled.
Imagine yourself locked in a terminal, not being able to return to your home and not being able to step outside. There's something inherently sad about that.
So what do Spielberg & Co do with this? They build a "feel good" movie out of it.
Hanks' Viktor goes around helping people, and spreads the joy joy joy down in his heart.

In fact, he only appeared to be sad during the first half an hour or so. The rest of the movie is purely manipulative. And the manipulation is rather obvious.

There are just so many scenes of wasted potential. You have the archetypical bad guy, who seems to be bad just because he can be.
What bothered me most was one scene:
Gupta Rajan gives up his freedom just so Hanks can go to New York. It's touching for the most part, except Spielberg suddenly decides to play this scene out for laughs. He even ends it with a "funny" line: "You have an appointment." It also doesn't help that Kumar Pallana really isn't that great an actor and that his character is a caricature for the biggest part of the movie.

But I'm singling out the flaws here. The movie looks damn good, and occasionally the manipulation works, mainly thanks to Hanks' performance.
If it wasn't for Hanks, this would've been a 6, but it has Hanks.
7.0/10
