Summary: "For goodness sake SHUT UP!"
Review: My sister likes this movie but don't. I like the whole idea of a fantasy movie but this was a poor attempt. Any movie that leaves me asking more than three question to me is bad.1. Why did Jack show Lilly the Unicorn? 2. Why didn't Jack try stopping Lilly? 3. What in heaven is Jack? 4. What's up with that guy in the helmet? Why was he hanging around the goblins? 5. How can anybody with the name "Brown Bottom" NOT be mocked? Plus I hated the music that asked "For goodness sake" got on my nerves quickly. Should have kept the enchanting irish music.

Summary: A MUST SEE FOR THE ARTSY CROWD AND CHILDREN OF ALL AGES
Review: No other movie creates a fantasy-world so stunningly beautiful that even the "ugly" parts of the movie are breathtaking. I have seen this movie several times and certain elements have stuck with me: Tim Curry's portrayal as the "Dark Prince" is probably the most frightening conception of Satan that I have ever seen, he is horrifying, disturbing, but surprisingly sympathetic and even attractive; the cinematography is gorgeous--"Legend" shows you what it would look like if Spring preceeded Fall by one day (e.g., flower petals showering and carpeting the ground like snow); the dialog and the acting is child-like and simple, but not too cheesy. I hate to dub it a "family movie," so I won't. However, it is the perfect movie for a family because the themes and dialog are digestable for children, but there is enough spectacle and substance for the adults.

Summary: This is a great film!
Review: I loved this movie. If you like unicorns, elves, and a really good fantasy world, see this movie, it has all three! Tom Cruise plays a young fellow named Jack who must saves his love, Lily, and the world from a demon of Darkness. I won't tell you anymore than that cause you have to find everything else for yourself. but see it, it's great!

Summary: Completely dream-like
Review: This is a movie that i fell in love with as a child, i have always been one for unicorns, elves, fairies, and of course the never ending struggle between good and evil. Whenever i watch this movie, i come out of it in a dream like state, wishing i could be in that beautiful forest, and i could be dreaming of everything there. This is a wonderful movie that deserves a lot more than it has been given by the critics.

Summary: Powerful images which are still with me 12 years later!
Review: I first saw this movie as an adolescent and it appealed to all the Romanticism and starry-eyed wonder of the teenager in me. Today, 12 years later, I am trying to track down a copy for myself. The beauty and splendour of the cinematography alone, haunts me. The plot, simple but straight along the lines of all those wholesome fairy tales we grew up on, tells the tale of the eternal battle between good and evil. Powerful stuff!

Summary: Ridley Scott 's imagery recreates Middle Earth...
Review: LEGEND is one of those films that should have been one. Ridley Scott is a film master of Myth and its cinematic exploration (Alien; Blade Runner; Someone to Watch Over Me; Gladiator). His films present archetypal excursions into dreams and fears. The story in Legend is archetypally simple.The imagery is not: the Unicorns are unique incarnations of light,beauty and innocence. Tim Curry's Devil is often over the top, and he sometimes looks as if he's drenched in an over-ample serving of sweet & sour glaze for pork ribs. The Nature scenes from Middle Earth, however, are arresting and convey a Time when magic not science equaled power and the source of Knowledge. Young people will probably enjoy Tom Cruise fulfilling the classic requirements of the Quest saving The World and his Lady Love (Mia Sarah in the role of a "fallen" Eve)from the forces of Darkness. For some reason scenes in Hell are not particularly frightening, and this is probably intended. This is a film--a piece of Art manque--to look at and enjoy for beautiful images of legendary lost times where the good guys win...

Summary: Innocence and pure love rediscovered..........
Review: I believe that Legend exemplifies all the wonderfull and also terryfying aspects of life... The love between Jack and Pricess Lili, is the love we all dream of and the battle between good and evil, is one we all partake in, in our daily lives... Love conqours all in this film and so it should in real life today.... A must see for any adult who can reach in a find the dreams of the inner child and a must see for any child who liked to dream... Five stars for a truly intertaining and in many ways inspirational movie.... P.S my favorite scenes: Jack and Lili playing in the forest, Lili's discussion with darkness and Lili's beautifull song ( " living river turns to mighty diamonds - when I look in my true loves eyes....")......and the final fight between Darkness and Jack.

Summary: Respect the Director
Review: Legend is just one more of Ridley Scott's movies that has been savaged, many of the key scenes ending up on the cutting-room floor, and sound artistic integration - a true artist's forté - dismembered by blockheads. Sure, there's the infamous Ford voice-over and other art-crimes against his integrity - but name another movie that had the *entire score* (a classical one at that) replaced. Jerry Goldsmith's work is integral to the film, every bit as crucial as the character-based themes expressed in Vangelis' Blade Runner score. This movie is just what it purports to be: a legend, with the timeless struggle of good and evil, the children of light and darkness, thrown into high relief. It is also film-making in the best tradition (e.g. Fritz Lang), with every fallen leaf or snowflake there because the director wanted it so. Why, then, hack 20 minutes of important material and insult the taste and intelligence of the American audiences? The actors in Ridley Scott's movies, from Mia Sara and Tom Cruise, to Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sigourney Weaver (Alien and 1492), must feel tremendous gratitude for the way they amaze and delight - for he is nothing if not an actor's director. Why, then, do the three principal actors in Legend (Cruise, Sara, Curry) have important, character-establishing lines slashed from their dialogue? In sum, you would be best, as would the Hollywood powers that be, to respect the director and hold out for the film the way he envisioned it. Buy the PAL version in Europe and transfer it (a poor substitute), or better yet, write a letter encouraging the release of a DVD version. See for yourself how little respect this visionary director got - and enjoy a real legend of film.
