I loved the original movie Willow watch at least once a year.
I thought since they brought back the original Willow and Sorsha as more then just quick cameo appearances the show might be good.
Not so much.
I admit I have only watched the first two episodes but it took me three sittings for each to get through them. The show so far is so simplistic it seems to be for younger audiences.
The scenes are set in generic open spaces with nothing special giving this show a very low budget look, at least The Lord Of The Rings series has well developed sets and effects.
The point of the original movie was to protect Elora Danan so she could take the throne.
Where is she?
The story says Madmartigan took her somewhere safe, wasn't that why the shield?
This place seemed safe enough for 20 years?
The characters are so hard to like, or take seriously.
The first one to be annoying is Graydon, he is so pampered, if this was set today he would have a gallon of hand sanitizer so he wouldn't get his hands dirty. He has no place on he trip except to whine.
The cook Elora was the second one to be stupid, she goes along to save her lover, and the day they are going through the barrier she leaves the group, loses her horse only to end up right back with the group when they came out. Why?
Was she going to walk to where ever she thought she was going? Did she know where she was going.
They get attack, as expected, and lose the most experienced member of the group so I thought the blond gets another horse, wrong. They leave that horse behind too and now she is a bigger burden having to share a horse.
Then there is Thraxus, Sorsha treats him like a friend but keeps him locked up and has to blackmail him in to helping. He proves to be just a filler in the group so far and I think they could do as well with out him.
I can only hope for improvement but so far this show will be an only if there is nothing else to watch show on my list.
