Disney fans for some strange reason film companies seem to obsessed with giving classic movies TV show continuations. Well now we have another movie that's been given it's very own TV show continuation with this one containing some of the creative team and cast members from the film that it's based of off and so then join me as I give you my first impressions of the TV show that brings the great Warwick Davis back in a rather iconic role with the TV show in question being called simply just "Willow" enjoy.
The plot of this show is a new evil force is threatening to destroy the world and it's up to a bunch of brave misfits to defeat this new evil before it's far to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty not that bad altho this shows plot does feel like the stereotypical fantasy plot and nothing more then since it is a very generic plotline to have that in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this show is Warwick Davis as Willow Ufgood , Ellie Bamber as Dove and Ruby Cruz as Kit Tanthalos. Also starring in this show is Erin Kellyman as Jade Claymore , Tony Revolori as Graydon Hastur , Amar Chadha-Patel as Thraxus Boorman , Dempsey Bryk as Airk Tanthalos , Joanne Whalley as Queen Sorsha , Graham Hughes as Silas , Ralph Ineson as Commander Ballantine and Annabelle Davis as Mims Ufgood.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these firs two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. With all of the cast from these first two episodes doing their best but what let's them down is the script which gives all of the actors including Warwick Davis absolutely nothing to work with interms of what their characters personality is and what there characters are even meant to be like as well.
Doing the CGI for these first two episodes and quite possibly the whole entire show is ReelEye Company. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that he actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty pretty bad with all of the CGI that we see in these first two episodes looking really cheaply made and just fake as all heck.
I'm going to be honesty i've not seen the film version of Willow all the way through but even I can tell that this show is just not that good. Since from what little I did see of Willow I got the feeling that the people involved with making the film wanted to make a truly great film where as with this show I get the feeling that Disney and Lucasfilm just wanted to use the Willow IP and nothing more then that and as such this show comes across as being nothing more then a cash grab since it has alot of the iconography but it doesn't understand what it was made all of those things from the film really so iconic in the first place.
Without giving anything away they do something with the character of Dove which while it's not a bad idea. What lets this idea down is the fact that they did the big reveal far to early in this show's existence and so any and all emotional weight that this reveal could have had is now lost because we don't know this character and as such a reveal as big as what this one is should have been saved until the final episode or the second to final episode of the show just to make the big reveal all that more impactful and meaningful.
This show just looks cheap I don't know just how much it cost them to make this show nor do I know just what this shows budget even was. You quite clearly can't see where the money for the show went now if you compare that to the movie you see where the money was on screen and that just goes to show you just how cheap looking this show is because everything from the sets to the production design just looks like a cheaper version of The Lord Of The Rings Of Power which isn't a good thing because that show looked like a cheaply show that's airing on the The CW.
Now this shows first two episodes have / had an exact grand total running time of roughly one hour and forty minuets. So you can watch both episodes in well under two hours however both episodes episode one especially don't need to be that long and what makes things even worse is that for a large portion of episode one we are stuck with these new characters that aren't giving us the audience any reason to like them and it it takes nearly the entire first episode for Willow to first appear in the episode which for a franchise that's named after him just isn't that good of a thing at all.
So now then since this an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in these first two episodes was in all honesty not that bad. Since we do get alot of cool looking action in this shows first two episodes however the issue is that you just don't care about the characters and so you have no reason to want to see them come out of there various action sequences alive and well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this show might please some people but at the same time I can also see this show making alot of fans of the film angry since it just doesn't do the movie any kind of justice whatsoever in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these first two episodes in this very post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but s far it's not of to good start at all.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Willow fandom wiki age and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the wonderful the official Willow fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the official Willow fandom wiki page are all fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
