Pure McSilly

Rating: Null/10 (7 July 2003)

I saw this movie several years ago, when it was called LEGEND. Then I saw it again a few years later, when it went by the name of WILLOW. Either way, Ive never read the books, and I don't think I will anytime soon. Yeah, the story is amazing and the SFX are quite impressive. I won't take that away from the film. But to me, the greatest achievements are hearing Liv Tyler speak in Hobbit/Elvish/annoying English as well as Frodo's facial expressions of pain/fear/sorrow/more fear.
A 9 outta 10, only because the movie didn't explain how long that journey by the Fellowship took (was it years, a month, or what?) and the fact that Gilmi Dwarf didnt know how to open the door to his OWN mine (Moria).
And where's all the black people in Middle Earth! How come the flashback at the beginning of the flick, which took place 2,000 "yee-ahhs" before... the people were wearing the same kinda outfits! After 2 millenia!
