This has been RECOLORED. I love this movie, always have. Pre-ordered and watched the day it was out, and it brought me all the nostalgia and joy I could handle. However, I'm sure Lucas couldn't stand releasing a classic without doing some digital rework. Thankfully there's no singing aliens, but the color has been turned up to 10. Without the gray/blue color scheme, the world feels decidedly less like a "lost, broken" world and more like your average, vanilla fantasy. See it for yourself.

Willow did things I'd never seen before and haven't seen repeated. The plot was not the most original or clever, but the movie is composed of little pearls strung on an amazing James Horner score. It was my go-to fantasy film for years, and I still prefer it to Peter Jackson's Tolkien films, if for no other reason than it tells a complete story in a little over two hours, and leaves hints for the viewer's imagination to fill in the rest.

Willow is one of those movies we watched when we were growing up. This is quite possibly my favorite fantasy film of all time. Slow start but when Val Kilmer is finally introduced, the story really starts to take off. This will be a classic my family will enjoy just as much as I did. 5/5 stars for sure
