Over the Top (1987)

The 80's are home to some of the most entertaining movies ever made. You can try to prove me wrong here, but if those movies weren't as good as I claim, why does the current generation of filmmakers find the incessant urge to "remake" said films? A glorious time when action movies were filled with cheesy one liners, explosions, and macho men and yet still friendly enough that the entire family could tune in and watch. I've been told numerous times by Netflix that I should take the time to watch this, and upon urging of my reviewing compatriot TPB, I finally got off my duff and watched it - and since I watched it I figured I'd drop off a review, because I'm nice like that.

Willow is one of these grandiose movies, the original "Lord of the Rings" spirit of movies (albeit one told in much less time) with plenty of heart, adventure, and daring. Clocking in at 126 minutes (roughly two hours), it weaves a wonderful tale full of interesting characters, diverse locations, and magic. Stay with me, and let me take you on an adventure through the movie that is Willow!
