Willow (2022–2023)
6/10
Disney really sucks at making anything better than basic

Why do you have to do this? Why do you take stories like this and write the most useless and annoying script and story. This was made for 10 year olds who don't know any better. The Harry Styles wardrobe of the prince, the angsty teenagers, the weird modern vocabulary and style, the out of place mix of American and British accents, (the horses jumping off an 80 foot cliff into water only to show that the water is only 2 feet deep and they're now walking across it (Yeah that really happened...)). Disney continues to make such uninspired, thoughtless content that is so surface level and frustrating.

Unfortunately, that's kind of the staple of modern blockbuster cinema as it is. But Disney seems to be leading the charge, and it's so disappointing because they have and keep getting rights to material that has so much potential.

How do you take a movie like Willow, that feels mystical but grounded and naturally entertaining and decide to expand that universe...with this? The way that they act so coy and cheeky in the middle of a disaster or tragic moment makes me think of a Disney channel sitcom. Seriously, think about it while you're watching this.

I was so happy to see Warwick Davis reprising his role, and I felt myself wanting to be excited about the idea of Elora Danon being grown up. But you just slapped it in our faces without regard.

Disappointed... again.
