- I am wondering would anyone do LOtR anyway? Ron Howard's "Willow"
- was summerially panned by all "knowledgeable" reviewers, and was a flop
- at the screen. It was too fanciful for adults and too violent for kids.
- My question is with this stunning success, why would anyone spend the
- 60M+ dollars to produce a 3-hour movie that no one (except us, of course)
- would go see?
- I would also be interested in what the net thought of "Willow".
- I always liked the movie.
