Tried listening to the album, and it's a lacklustre as I remembered in the first episode. I'd rather listen to JNH's far superior MALEFICENT instead if I want some of his recent fantasy stylings (also an uneven score, btw, but the best parts of it are up there). Perhaps it's possible to create a decent 30-ish-minute playlist out of it; I'll see if I find the stamina at some point. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,892 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Episode 6 was much better than last weeks. Story was more interesting and it felt a bit like a mix between The Temple Of Doom & The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The trolls had great make-up (although not sure about them being funny). The thing that is indeed still annoying is the more modern dialogue and music at the end. The rest of the music was very good. I really like the vocal grunting for the trolls. And there was some nice adventure, action & mystery scoring. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,612 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Liked this episode (and the music!!) a lot, actually. The talking trolls cracked my shit up. JNHFan2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HB Potlood 33 Posted January 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2023 The final track (no 36) on the second volume of the TV soundtrack is titled "End Credits" and does not appear in any of the episodes so far (not even in episode 5, the only one that doesn't end with a pop song). It was clearly meant for the illustrated part of the end credits, and at 1 minute and 5 seconds, fits them perfectly. mstrox, enderdrag64 and Yavar Moradi 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,892 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 It does. And a real shame they decided not to use it. But as I've said in the score thread for the series, it might get hsed in Ep. 8 Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bryant Burnette 654 Posted January 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted January 6, 2023 I gave up on this show after three episodes. It's not bad, I just don't have much use personally for a fantasy show where everyone talks as though they are in 2022.

JNHFan2000 2,892 Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 I felt episodes 1 & 2 were very good. 3, 4 & 5 weren't that great. But I feel that 6 & 7 are the best of the series. And I hope they can finish strong next week. enderdrag64 and Bryant Burnette 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I hope it's been a hit; I'll never not have an affection for the movie, and this sequel can only have helped it carry over into a new generation.

JNHFan2000 2,892 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Last episode was enjoyable. Far from one of the best series of the year, but I enjoyed it. At the end, you see the book, that opens every episode, being closed and put on a shelf. On the side it says Volume I and Volume II & III are beside it. I guess this means they're planning on making more. It would make sense because the series ended completely open enderdrag64 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 1,743 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I hope Disney sells it off to another company that actually cares about this property, and that company does a direct sequel to the original film that ignores this shitshow of a series. I don't even mind if they recast all the original characters. Just make a worthy sequel. I can dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverTrumpet 638 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 The same type of people who decided Dark Crystal should have been one too. I'll admit, Dark Crystal the TV show being the most boring thing I've ever watched after the effects of the visuals wore off was the reason why I wasn't in the mood for a modern contribution to the Willow universe. 1977 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,790 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Not surprising. The direction they went was imo completely misguided. i feel sad for warwick davies, he was probably waiting his whole life for this, and they didnt do justice to the IP. a still think that a simplified version of the lucas-claremont novels would have had more impact. And a little more serious tone. disney had some luck with the sequels, but they made similar mistakes so they could have bombed too and now star wars would be a dead franchise. So i hope they treat it with more respect. i fear for indy after the fifth movie. i hope they dont hire kasdan for indy ever… his father did the awful indy iv unused script. We lost star wars films due to Solo and now willow is ruined….i hope they notice the trend… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was much better than the movie, with the Gelflings much more effectively realised, the ones in the movie being twee and kinda wet. Of course, the music wasn't a patch on Trevor Jones' classic score, but it had its moments. Not yet seen the Willow TV show but can't say I feel a rush to see it... apparently I wasn't the only one to feel that way!

It just bored me to absolute tears. It just felt super overly dramatic with no hint of magic which I liked about the original.

I'm pretty sure that was George Lucas and Ron Howard back when they made the first film, which was always intended to have sequels showing Elora Danan becoming the savior she was supposed to be. It's pretty clear that it was set up for more, even if the movie works well enough on its own. Kinda like Star Wars, in that way. And like Star Wars (though it took much longer), my impression is that the sequel went in a different direction than they were originally thinking about doing when the first film was made. 3 hours ago, JTWfan77 said: These IPs used to be about entertainment not heavy handed agendas.

mstrox 6,612 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Personally, I think the reboot was completely fine EXCEPT for the anachronistic music choices, which I was willing to give a chance but in the end it just didn’t work. I think the first movie was also just okay, so it’s not like this ruined anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark 303 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I don’t like the movie so I didn’t bother to watch the show, but I do mourn that we won’t get any more score out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
