What to Know

Critics Consensus

Expanding on the saga while leaving plenty of room for callbacks to the original, this series-length sequel should satisfy fans who've been patiently waiting for more Willow.

Rebecca Long

Observer

The Disney+ Willow series was a breath of fresh air, harkening back to a bygone era of onscreen epic fantasy more focused on being delightful than profound.

Rated: B

The Daily Beast

Sustained interest, however, will be stymied by a cast of largely bland new characters and, more pressing still, a dearth of sweeping excitement.

Q+ Magazine

It’s a fantasy series full of action, love, friendship, and beautiful landscapes. Like its predecessor, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, which helps balance the humor with the seriousness of the story.

Toisto.net

The series knows its capacity for greatness. It’s tapping into it that proves most difficult. In turn, its lessons, some carried over from the past, feel more timeless than ever.

Rated: 4/5

Pramit Chatterjee

Digital Mafia Talkies

There is a kind of simplicity, a sense of comfort, and an air of whimsy to the show that puts it right in the middle of the Shakespearean self-seriousness of The Rings of Power and the edgy self-seriousness of House of the Dragon.

Rated: 4/5

Sean H Peter piper pipped a peck of pickled peppers. Bet Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Bruna G Amazing series, it surprised me. I highly recommend it !! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review SkyRo P After watching the film "Willow" for the first time, it was perceived as a corny yet lovable movie with entertaining moments, albeit with cheesy and lacking depth. While the film has its charm, it may not be one that warrants repeat viewings, as it falls short in terms of overall enjoyment. The storytelling and character development were deemed subpar, failing to create an enchanting or immersive experience as initially anticipated.Despite "Willow" becoming a cult classic, it ultimately fell into the category of films that are predominantly corny and cheesy. The television series that attempted to capitalize on the movie's cult status failed to live up to expectations, leading to its cancellation after one season. The series struggled to capture the essence of the original film, resulting in a lackluster and unengaging viewing experience.In conclusion, both the movie and the television series based on "Willow" failed to leave a lasting impact and were ultimately deemed uninspiring and difficult to follow. While the film may have its moments, it may not be enough to warrant a recommendation for viewers looking for a captivating and enjoyable cinematic or television experience. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Livie V I love that show. It has so much potential, I really wish it could have a second season. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/24 Full Review Frank R Had to watch it to see if it was really as bad as everyone says. It's literally worse than I even imagined. Lucasfilm is so, so terrible now.
