InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
danaphilip-56726 Legend was Ridley Scott's follow up to his most personal film Blade Runner. And it was the start of his "average" phase. Legend is a decent film- it looks astonishing Ill give it that. But the story is basic and Tom Cruise is simply adequate. Tim Curry as the bad guy actually completely steals the show but overall this is just an okay film filled with pretty visuals. If you want to watch a fantasy there are other better films. Unless you're a fan of Ridley Scott or Tom Cruise I think you can safely avoid this.
adonis98-743-186503 A young man must stop the Lord of Darkness from both destroying daylight and marrying the woman he loves. Where do i really begin with Legend? It has the magic, the spirit, the soul and definitely the heart of a real actual fairy tale and that perhaps is why some critics didn't appreciate it's beauty. Mia Sara, Tom Cruise and especially Tim Curry give excellent perfomances and go against type plus the special effects and make up? look fabulous for a 1985 film and in today's age? The film wouldn't work especially the world it has built. Definitely give it a chance!!!
valipopa28 I wanted to see the 2015 Legend and i bumped onto Scott's 1985 fairy tale. I am not very pretentious when it comes to movies and out of curiosity i can watch almost anything. But getting over Mia Sara beginning performance was pretty hard. Except for that the movie looks nice and Meg Mucklebones is the cherry on the cake from this regard. Pretty thin story line, with some interesting characters. That's all i had to say about this film, but now i have to fill space as the 10 line quota must be met. doing this i wonder what is wrong whit expressing short and concise? it's that it? no, not yet, a little more to go now. do i have to fill the entire 10th row also?
evanston_dad "Legend" plays out like the movie a bunch of guys would get together and make under the influence of serious hallucinogenic drugs, and who knows, maybe that was the case? In many ways it's a rather bad movie. It's not good at all in telling a narrative -- the editing is confusing and disjointed, Ridley Scott's direction is awkward and clunky.But on the other hand, the visual look of "Legend" is stunning, and it's worth watching for that alone. It's clear that Scott had a distinct tone and vision in mind when making the movie, and that comes through strongly despite the weakness of the film making in other regards. I found myself fascinated by the film and could easily overlook its flaws.The film received a much deserved Oscar nomination for Best Makeup but lost the award to "The Fly." Tough category that year.Grade: B+
