Magic-filled fantasy adventure for tweens and up.

At the story level, Willow is turgid and relentlessly predictable.

a forgotten classic that holds a lot of nostalgia

As a movie, it's a hell of a video game

There's a sunny feeling here that's impossible to deny: a warm, inviting tone unseen in more recent fare.

Willow is medieval mishmash from George Lucas, a sort of 10th-century Star Wars tossed together with a plethora of elements taken from numerous classic fables.

Though children will mostly be enthralled by the spectacles, even they might notice the weak story protruding through the industrial magic.

Nice fantasy adventure, looking pretty dated now, but ably helmed by Ron Howard.

This is how I always figured the project got started: ILM called Ron, and said 'Ronnnnnnn, we're BORED.'

The world may not need yet another swashbuckling epic adventure, but one with so much heart and soul and fantasy surely is a welcome addition.

It isn't without significant flaws, but overall an effective and memorable fantasy spectacle.

The big budget can't conceal the fact that this fiction is fallow, more rootbound than spellbound.
