I find myself amused enough to continue with Willow, the series. It's the same sort of campy, anachronistic soundtrack approach that allowed me to enjoy Heath Ledger's "Knight's Tale". I find myself giggling at lines and singing along to the soundtrack.
Don't get me wrong... I am
squarely in the camp that enjoyed the movie more, but I recognize a big part of that is simply nostalgia on my part. I watched the movie again (mainly because Disney is pushing it so heavily) and I
still enjoyed it. But it's also not hard to see how newcomers might only see it as a hot, cheesy mess. Which was always a part of its charm if we're being perfectly honest with ourselves.
