Willow Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
There isn't a single major character in the film who is engaging.
Los Angeles Times
Sheila Benson
If it evaporates from memory with the airiness of a bubble bath, at least it leaves a friendly glow and a sense of a magical world lovingly evoked.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Willow feels like the kind of movie that might have worked considerably better on the printed page.
Chicago Tribune
Dave Kehr
It takes forever for the story to get started, and once it does it holds few surprises.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
The plot grinds on inescapably to its predictable climax, with the viewer fully aware of what awaits long before the events unfold.
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Willow exchanges the high-tech gleam of the Star Wars universe for the low-tech look of a Tolkienesque world, but otherwise it's business as usual.
People Magazine
Peter Travers
At the heart of this overproduced jumble you can still hear the faint beat of the simple story Lucas conceived about 15 years ago while researching Star Wars.
Christian Science Monitor
David Sterritt
Sometime during the second hour I pinpointed the trouble: The movie is so full of tricks and gimmicks that it doesn't care enough about being just plain funny.
Gannett News Service
Jack Garner
Time-worn myths and legends get a zestful, entertaining reworking in Willow.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
A charming, albeit greatly compromised attempt at doing a monumental epic in just two hours... the most handsome and technologically accomplished film of the '80s fantasy cycle.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...a decent fantasy epic that never quite lives up to the promise of its engaging first act.
United Press International
Cathy Burke
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.
Variety
Jane Galbraith
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.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
a forgotten classic that holds a lot of nostalgia
Video-Reviewmaster.com
Steve Crum
Nice fantasy adventure, looking pretty dated now, but ably helmed by Ron Howard.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
[Willow] doesn't have the perfect pitch of ''Star Wars''; much of the time, it seems slightly askew.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
At the story level, Willow is turgid and relentlessly predictable.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Though children will mostly be enthralled by the spectacles, even they might notice the weak story protruding through the industrial magic.
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
The big budget can't conceal the fact that this fiction is fallow, more rootbound than spellbound.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
For easy-to-please five-year-olds of all ages.
