This is so corny

My late husband and I were real fans of bad movies. You know, the stinkers that were so bad they were good. We laughed our way through this one every time we watched it.

To each their own. I think this is a classic 80s adventure film with one of the coolest/funniest lead performances of all time with Kilmer as Madmartigan (or is it "Mad" Martigan lol), and Joanne Whalley's Sorsha is still one of the most beautiful things I've seen in a film.

I VERY MUCH AGREE WITH YOU....IT'S BEEN OVER 30 YEARS SINCE I FIRST ENJOYED WILLOW AND IT STILL MAKES ME SMILE WATCHING IT....MADMARTIGAN IS EASILY MY FAVORITE KILMER ROLE EVER.

F yeah Willow rocks. The series was a letdown though.

Best not to. I think Disney yeeted it from their platform so they don't have to pay royalties. It had all the pieces to be good but it was overproduced & soulless. Typical of the modern day practice known as IP mining.

Agreed! It's one of my favorites! 🥰

Great adventure film. Nothing like it in today's movies.

I wouldn't put this in the so bad it's good category of movies. It's not brilliant but it's one of those fun silly movies from the 80's and with an IMDB rating of 7.2, you must feel that is way too high if you consider this a bad movie? The theme tune is actually quite epic as well.
