The fact that I found the original movie boring makes me think this one might give me the same feelings. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteHope it won't be as boring as their MandaLorian is.
DeleteI know I watch Willow many, many years ago, but can't for the life of me remember anything about it. I do know it became a cult favorite. I'll have to see if the original is on Disney Plus and rewatch it to refresh my memory.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember it either, which goes for Legend as well and also Princess Bride and Neverending Story.
DeleteI definitely remember Princess Bride and Neverending Story as those were on repeat when I was a young one. Labyrinth too. But there are so many others I know I've seen, but I sit here and draw a blank on what I've watched.
DeleteI remember the Never ending story song from LIMAHL it was such a hit.
DeleteI haven't watched the saga, I'm not sure if it's something for me!
ReplyDeleteYou probably have as a kid but forgot.
DeleteIt seems that the cultivation of this new version of the film series is better than the previous production...,
ReplyDeleteIf you say so.
DeleteI don't remember the original, but will have to look it up. This does look pretty good!
ReplyDeleteIt was very popular among families and kids in the 80s.
DeleteThat explains why I don't remember it. Looks like I was born the year it was released. :)
DeleteI vaguely remember it myself, I was just a little coon back then.
DeleteNever heard of this story... Could it become a hit movie-series like The Twilight Saga? 😏
ReplyDeleteThis won't be a movie, but a TV series LOL It is not about vampires, but it has some midgets, the Willow himself is a midget.
