Pros: Billy Barty; looks good Cons: rest of cast; story
Tom Cruise was a good-looking twenty-three or four when he made 1985’s Legend with director Ridley Scott and co-star Mia Sara. That’s pretty much my reason for watching the VHS copy of this PG-rated film. It was Easter as well. Yeah, let’s watch a ...
Pros: Cinematography, production design, art direction, make-up, all the little people, Tim Curry Cons: More narrative problems than you can shake a stick at. Tragically bland Tom Cruise.
If I felt that Legend needed to be defended, I would try to bend my mind around the right way to recommend the film for its visuals, while ignoring its crippling flaws. However, although Legend bombed at the box office, it has gained a cult...
Pros: Rich and detailed, this fable is a classic, vastly underappreciated. Cons: The original score was almost lost; the director's cut is far superior.
Legend (1985) Directed by Ridley Scott Lilly is a princess, Jack is a child of the Forest. Both are pure and innocent, and whether they know it or not, very much in love with each other. One day when Lilly is in the forest, Jack takes her ...
Pros: First-rate production values and good acting, plus better editing and a better score. Cons: Minor back-story and continuity flaws.
Young up-and-coming Hollywood actors often get their first starring vehicle in some genre picture that more seasoned actors won’t touch until they’re in semi-retirement and have nothing left to prove (Sean Connery, for instance). Likely as not, the said ...
Pros: fascinating story, good fantasy setting Cons: 80s effects, acting not quite what I expected, hurried story
In a land where unicorns roam and princesses consort with young men of the forest something has gone wrong. Jack (Tom Cruise) wants to show his lady love the Princess Lily (Mia Sara) something extra special…unicorns. Enthralled by their beauty Lily ...
Pros: Acting, special effects, score, direction Cons: To short, the film's few attempts at humour fall flat
This was my favourite movie as a kid. Seeing it in the video store I decided to check it out and see if my love of it still held. It was kind of an experiment. Did the things I loved as a kid still hold true today. Thankfully they do. There's ...
A mystical fable wonderfully portrayed and breathtakingly beautiful, this movie will appeal to all ages. Legend stars Tom Cruise as Jack, a young forest dweller, in love with the beautiful princess Lily, actress Mia Sara. Set in a mythical forest...
Pros: The visuals are gorgeous, and the Director's Cut is simply better. Cons: Overly sweet, not enough of an edge...
Ridley Scott's ambitious fairy tale Legend is best known for two reasons: its stunning visuals and checkered production history, where various factors kept the film from being seen in its true form. Until now. Universal's new Ultimate Edition DVD ...
Pros: There are unicorns in it! =O) That and a young Tom Cruise and a positively evil Tim Curry! Mu ha ha Cons: It's relatively short and they could have developed the plot more
I have always been entranced with the world of fantasy, be it in books, RPG's, my unicorn collections... I can never get enough. Legend helps me to indulge my desire to be a part of "that world" by letting me engross myself in it for 89...
Pros: Visually stunning, solidly acted, fun Cons: Several plot holes, simplistic in nature
The Story
A ‘child of the forest’, Jack knows all the secrets the forest has to offer. One day he decides to show his one true love the wonderful pair of unicorns that live amongst the trees protecting light and maintaining the balance...
Pros: Great Story Cons: May Not Be Suitable For Young Children
This was another one of my favorites as a child. This movie has a little bit of everything. It has adventure, fantasy, drama, romance, action and good special effects. This movie stars Tom Cruise as Jack, Tim Curry as Darkness and Mia Sara as Princess...
Pros: Good costumes. Cons: Just about everything else.
Seated at the top of a short list of Tom Cruise's cinematic embarrassments, Legend deserves it's head of the class status in movie do's and don'ts. I don't have many good things to say about the film, so if, like me, you never saw the big thrill, sit...
Pros: a beautiful fantasy story, great visual effects Cons: Too short and a little scary for young children
I am a huge fan of Fantasy, and Legend is one of the few fantasy movies in existence. Along with Jim Henson's classic, Labyrinth, it is one of my favorite movies. Legend is a beautiful story about the continuous battle between good and evil. It is a...
Tom Cruise stars in this visually stunning fantasy adventure in which pure good and evil battle to the death amidst spectacular surroundings. Set in a...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
