Staring Val Kilmer, Directed by Ron Howard and with the magic of Lucas Film comes
a great adventure for all ages.
I remember when this opened in theaters way back when and re watching it now
in a time where Lord of the Rings has become a big commercial success and you can
see some of that in here probably influences from the original J.R.R. Tolkien
novels the little people the Nelwyn would easily be the Hobbits at least I think so.
Also I believe a Live Action Hobbit if done around the same time would look very similar.
But this is a fun adventure that can be greatly enjoyed some of the acting at times
is a little laughable but still good. It has some good action and some cool effects for
the time (apparently this was the first feature length film to use the "morphing"
process) it has some wonderful scenery and a nice story.
The music does remind me a bit of Indiana Jones with that big boisterous
orchestral score also the "shield ride " down the mountain makes me think
of the scene from Temple of Doom with the life raft.
One of the other cool things was the dragon it was pretty neat. There is some
humor mostly provided by the little forest fairy things called "Brownies" but
this was a cool movie and still pretty much is.
