The Music is also fantastic being one of James Horner best scores to date. The main theme of the movie and the scored used for Madmartigan are just as great as the themes for Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and always ones I find myself humming every so often.
It also has two of the best villain deaths EVER!!! Kael, the Darth Vader of the film, takes no less then THREE swords to the next and a fall from a 3 or 4 story bridge before he dies and Bavmorda has one of the best magic duels before finally confronting the title character which results in her being killed by the very spell she intended to use on Elora which is a nice twist on the Prophecy the film builds up. It was true that Elora would bring about her downfall but that only happened because she sought to kill her and faced Willow who managed to get her to destroy herself.
However, I would be remissed if I didn't say I was a bit worried, not only because of the Star Wars Disney Sequel Trilogy but also because of the series original sequels. Like with Star Wars Willow had a Trilogy of novels that, while having some good ideas (it was written partly by Lucas) wasn't all that good. Known as the Shadow Trilogy said Trilogy focuses Elora and her journey but the story, while not bad, wasn't all that good either.
It makes sense to put more focus on Elora but in the novels I didn't find her all that interesting and while the world building was overall well executed (again this was partly written by Lucas) the characters just weren't as strong as they were in the film and the plot was rather dull.
Not saying it will be bad but again, I'm just worried about it as this is a sequel I've wanted for a long time and hope it's good. The team that's been assembled to make this show are all people I have faith in but even the best creative team can created a bad or an outright boring story if the production goes badly.
Still, looking forward to this and hope it's good.
