Willow cover - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

SolidSnakeASS · 09-11-2001, 02:36 AM

Anyone else just throw up? Bleh, easily the worst cover ever!

and the VHS cover is better! Which makes me even sadder.

***SeanL*** · 09-11-2001, 02:42 AM

I'd have to say that I'm not really crazy about that cover either.
Kinda lame...

It's a scale really, with a perfect mission on one end and a total pooch screw on the other. We're sorta in the middle...

Cover, shmover...does it really matter?
Willow is a movie that a lot (not me though) of people want on DVD. Be happy for what you're getting.

Yes, the cover does look VERY stupid! I haven't seen Willow yet, but I heard it was a really great film, and also the fact that it's from Lucas makes it sound interesting.

I have to admit I like the original art better, but I guess it's not really a big deal. The disc itself looks like it should be pretty good.

Please don't cry, Madmartigan! Everything's gonna be just fine.

A little silly looking, but for a fantasy film cover, it could have looked much worse.

Besides, like someone said, its what inside that matters.

I don't know, while it's the disc that really matters, I just can't stand it when the cover looks atrocious! Oh, hey, it's yet another reason why I love Criterion, their covers are ALWAYS goregus (Have you seen the one for "The Vanishing" yet? MEGA COOL!)

thanx,

Yeah, I want a cover that kicks ass. It is something that you will be looking at on your shelf, etc. The cover should be visually appealing, not a bunch of shitty photoshopped images. Blah!

3DMan · 09-12-2001, 01:21 AM

But the covers touches upon the revelation that Willow is homosexual! Look at that wand!!

Dehrian · 09-13-2001, 12:01 AM

I agree that artwork is important. They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but that's no excuse for giving the book an ugly cover.

The basic design itself I have no problem with. It's the way the shots were integrated. Val looks alright where and how he is. Get a different shot of Warwick, shade it to match Val, and get rid of the other two images. That would help.

3DMan · 09-13-2001, 01:12 AM

Like I said in another thread, my Excalibur is hands-down the worst cover art I own.

SolidSnakeASS · 09-13-2001, 02:48 AM

I'd leave Val and the sowrd, or get rid off Val altogether. It might look ok if it was just the text and the sword.

OneofRyan · 09-13-2001, 06:57 PM

Most DVD cover art is terrible anyway. This certainly takes the cake.
