Rating: Summary: All right... Review: Not a bad story. Pretty slow and dull in the beginning. The movie finally got somewhere after the death of a brother. Beautifully done made movie on the lands of Montana. Enjoyed the acting. Strange plot with details, kindy mismatch. Good points during the film. Overall, it is a fair film. Brad Pitt gives an B rate of his acting skills. He does a good job, even for a young career at that point.
Rating: Summary: good flick Review: Just saw this movie again after a few years. Have to admit, it was pretty good. Beautiful scenery, decent storyline, very watchable. Julia Ormond is absolutely stunning in this. She has to be the most beautiful woman on the screen. Just mesmerizing. Brad Pitt is pretty cool in this as well. Good casting. Overall, entertaining movie.
Rating: Summary: *****5 STARS***** Review: OMG-This movie is awesome! I could watch it over and over and over again. Brad Pitt is (as usual) hot and also a great actor in this family tragedy. Julia Ormond is absolutely beautiful and precious. Also a great actress who demonstrates her ability to love to the greatest depth. Anthony Hopkins is also great as the father (SCREW 'EM!). All in all a great movie...I highly recommend!
Rating: Summary: A 1994 sample of Movie cheese. Review: This movie quickly degenerates into a really bad acted and bad scripted love story. A lot of the performances fall by the way side within the first hour of the movie and one must wonder how Anthony Hopkins, a useually very good actor, agreed to star in this movie, alongside so many Hollywood heart throbs who have shown time and again that they can not act.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Movie Review: Legend of the Falls in a movie about how a family deals with a devasting tragedy. The movie starts off with Samuel (the youngest brother) coming back home with his finacee, Susannah. Susannah gets used Samuel's family, and his home life. Samuel's brothers, Alfred and Tristian, are captivated by Susannah's beauty and her spirit. Samuel wants to help the cause of the war. He wants to fight, and so to protect him, Tristian and Alfred fight in the war, too. One day while action is going on, Alfred is injured, and Samuel goes off alone thinking that he can take the enemy alone. What happens is tragic: Samuel is attack by a poisionus gas, and he cannot see. Tristian is own his way, and before he can rescue Samuel, the enemy shoots Samuel. Tristian kills the enemy that has shot Samuel, and Samuel dies right in his arms. ] From there, Tristian, Alfred, Susannah, and Tristian, Alfred, and Samuel's father lives changed forever after the death of Samuel. Trisitan is never the same because he feels responsible for Samuel's death. He feels like he didn't get there on time to save his life, or he wasn't watching out for him like he should. Susannah is lost and confused, and she moves on to Tristian seeing him as the next best thing to Samuel or even more. When Tristian leaves for the second time because he still have problems cooping with what happened to Samuel, she marries Alfred who is love with Susannah, but she is not in love with him. A family that goes through hardships, that is broken by the bonds of losing the ones that they love, their spirit will be tested fully to see if the bonds are tight as they should be, Legend of the Falls, is a play one words. Legends do have falls, but when people fall they get back up and try again which make them much stronger.
Rating: Summary: "The way a movie should be made" EPIC Review: Brad Pitt sums it up best in the DVD edition of Legends of the Fall. It's the way a movie should be made, and it was made superbly. Set in Montana and thereabouts, Legends is about a family on the verge of WW1, who are very passionate and genuine, living in a seemingly distant far away world, somewhere in the vast country, in an era of discontent, because of wars, and rumors of wars. The musical score by James Horner really captures the whole surrounding and emotion that Legends brings. I'm sure many others have gotten the plot down. ( Originally a novella by Jim Harrison.) So I will talk about the DVD. The DVD is a great buy, I just purchased it the other day. For the money, it is worth it, though I was a little disappointed at the length of the Featruette. SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE: *Edward Zwick and Brad Pitt audio commentary *Cinematographer John Toll and Production Designer Lilly Kilvert audio commentary *Production Design featurette *Original making-of featurette * 3 DELETED SCENES with audio commentary *Isolated musical score with audio commentary ( though Horner doesn't say a word ) *Theatrical trailers & Talent Files *Production Notes The rest is just menus, video and sound quality, subtitles (english, french, spanish, porteguese, chinese, korean, and thai) and multilanguage audio. And it's WIDESCREEN Hope you got some info, i highly recommend the DVD! - Jeffro
Rating: Summary: Breathtaking Review: It'll pull your guts out and hand them to you, then leave you with a profound tragic melancholy. Brad Pitt and Anthony Hopkins are great, though it's certainly not Pitt's best performance, in my opinion.
Rating: Summary: Legends of the Fall Review: This is one of the most heartbreakingly beautiful movies I have ever seen. It is in my top 5 movies of all time and definately my favourite Brad Pitt movie.

Rating: Summary: One of the most bittersweet love stories I have seen Review: This movie is a wonderful love story. I own this movie and it makes me cry everytime I watch it. There are so many touching moments. So many things are taken for granted in life and disappear before anyone can appreciate them, and this movie shows us how quickly things pass us by. Brad Pitt is a wonderful actor as well as an extremely attractive man, which makes this movie a real winner in my book :)
