I am a Val Kilmer fan, while he had a wide array of roles in various genres that succeeded at box offices, my favorite two visual , not including voice work are the following
Willow, many mention top gun or batman forever, but that is the movie. I remember Willow and yes, i flicked my fantasy blades in my mind once or twice. but the background of Willow is for me forever underrated. George Lucas had promised Warwick Davis he would star in a film and he delivered with Willow . Willow itself was meant to be Lord of The Rings in the original screenplay and was manipulated into the original Willow.
But here is the thing, Val Kilmer playing Madmartigan was supposed to be Aragorn and when I think on that... Gavan O'Herlihy playing Airk Thaughbaer was supposed to be Borimer while Joanne Whalley as Sorsha was meant to be arwyn or aeowyn. But,while Willow was inspired by Lord of the Rings it is in truly a story unto itself. Like Krull which was started as Dungeons and Dragons and retains elements but really is its own thing with a fable storytelling way that is interesting, Willow retains elements of Lord of the Rings but really is its own thing with a world structured more honestly and less simply.
well..
Kilmer's MAdmaritigan has the social width lacking in Aragorn. Marmartigan is just a guy, I think that is so underrated. Unlike Aragorn in Lord of the Rings who is descended from an ancient bloodline, and is over one hundred years old and looks thirty, Madmaritigan based on the words of himself side Airk is a peasant/swindler/carnivaler/theif who became a soldier , a foot soldier to decent reknown but got caught thiefing and rejecting his bound word and was exiled. He is just a very skilled swordsman. No land, no title, no background of note. I think it is more inspiring that than spoiled Aragorn who has been catered to his whole life while rejecting the duties of his bloodline.
Willow is not sheltered from the negativity of the world while willing to leave his safety or peace of mind to help a total helpless stranger, not to have an adventure.
Madmartigan meets Sorsha
Madmartigan versus General Kael - yes he was meant to be the Nas Ghoul
Willow's theme
The Nelwyns are great, less naive or more circular than hobbits

Mike Clark in USA Today wrote that "The film is probably too much for young children and possibly too much of the same for cynics. But any 6–13-year-old who sees this may be bitten by the ’movie bug’ for life." [Hearn, p.156-157]
The Seal Son from Kilmer's Batman Forever
and I can't leave without Doc Holiday vs Johnny Ringo from Tombstone- Val Kilmer vs Sean Bean- bill paxton is in the scene- playing brilliantly, billy zane, nice set of actors

What do you think makes a masterpiece?
My Answer
Your prose makes the case for a piece, but I argue what makes a master is first? A master originally meant a teacher, not someone deemed skilled above all others. Why does that matter? If a master is a teacher, then a master can be anyone, sequentially, a masterpiece can be any work or piece from anyone. If a master is a teacher than a masterpiece is free to be any work as anyone sees it.
But, if a master is someone deemed skilled above all others. then who determines the skills, through whatever measures, required to be a master is more important than the identity of the master, for said identity is merely matching the skills. But, who determines the skills? In modern human history, all to often those in a populace in humanity who have a financial or militaristic power over other populaces dictate the skills required to be a master. Sequentially, the identity of a masterpiece is always doubted, questioned. Because if a master is someone deemed skilled above all others which can only be determined through a limited perspective only a set in humanity have , then all others have to doubt it, because they don't see the master as legitimate because they don't accept the requirements to master.
So, I accept a master is merely a teacher. And as I have learned and continue to learn from many artists , in said moments of learning, I have been taught and said artists have been teachers, thus masters for a time and the works or pieces they taught me with are masterpieces.
