Another excellent 80's movie dumbed down for current American teenagers. Absolutely brutal. I wanted to love it. Heck I would have settled for liking it. Nope. Got 15 minutes in to Ep 1 and had to quit before I puked. Didn't even get far enough to actually see Willow himself. If you have zero expectations and no appreciation for good acting you might be ok. For me this is on par with Big Brother and other shallow, vapid American tv shows aimed at the 13-21 crowd. Ug even The Chronicles of Shannara was better and that's saying something. Gag me with a spoon. I'm out. Sorry Willow.
Spoiler: the only enjoyable part was the opening narration where Sorsha/Joanne Wahlley says "what can I say, I was young" about the folly of marrying Madmartigan/Val Kilmer. That made me chuckle. Life imitating art and all that.
