Enjoyable fantasy scripted by George Lucas. All the usual elements are here but they're presented with visual panache and the set pieces are particularly well done. The love/hate relationship between the attractive pairing of Kilmer and Whalley also sparks particularly well (probably because of their burgeoning off-screen romance).

There are some great effects and production design, but, plot-wise, it just felt like another half-hearted, ridiculous fantasy film. Nowhere near as weighty as, say, the Lord of the Rings series.

Willow is what B-movies are at their best. A fun crazy plot that is more believable then most, fun characters, and a lot of heart. A real classic and highly recommended for people who love a good adventure story. Val Kilmer is great as Mad Martigan.

The only thing I remember is that "you are great!" I still think the same today. I would love to see it again on DVD or something. A classic fantasy that children of today should definitely check out - heck even adults.

I watched this movie for the first time when I was about 8 or 9. So, I didn't understand a lot of the jokes made around Val Kilmer's character taking care of a baby. But, I thought it was great then, and I still think it's great.

Kilmer is great as the unlikely hero. Lots of great fantasy, magical creatures, danger and fun.

Lots of magic, adventures and fun. Val Kilmer's character, Madmartigan, brings together the movie with some humor and good acting. Even though I enjoy it still, it is a bit dated and dull for me at times.

Although the fantasy/magic crown has been passed to bigger and bolder films, Willow will always remain one of my favorites. It veers a little more towards the younger set, but it should hold adult attentions as well.
