After the horn of a unicorn is broken, darkness and winter descend upon the world. Cruise's character, helped along by a magic sprite played by David Bennent (The Tin Drum), descends into hell to save paradise. This movie is almost a classic case of art direction gone amok. The somewhat amorphous Cruise doesn't lend much dramatic focus or artistic definition, but the drama between Tim Curry's satanic majesty and Mia Sara's character, who becomes a sort of princess of the netherworld, is pretty captivating. A mixed experience all around that makes one wish it had been more successful. --Tom Keogh Product Description: 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 timeless mythical forest inhabited by fairies, goblins, unicorns and mortals, this fantastic story has Tom Cruise as a mystical forest dweller, chosen by fate to undertake a heroic quest. He must save a beautiful princess, Mia Sara, and defeat the demonic Lord of Darkness, Tim Curry, or the world will be plunged into a never-ending ice age. Co-starring Billy Barty and Alice Playten and directed by Ridley Scott, famed for his remarkable settings and unparalleled imagery, the incredibly realized fable is the stuff movie legends are made of. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - ExcellentI love the movie. It arrived in perfect condition and I am happy with it Rating:  - Tangerine Dream Does It BetterThe version with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack is much better than The Jerry Goldsmith crap. That's the one I watched as a kid and that's the one I really want. This version is ruined with music that doesn't belong. Rating: - AwfulThis film was awful. The special effects were good, but the acting and characters were cheesy and it had a very weak plot. Rating: - Warning about this version of the MovieIf you loved the original movie and soundtrack DO NOT BUY THIS DVD. It is altered and much of the original music is different. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED and whomever "monkied" with this version of the movie for the DVD made it a worse production than the original. Rating: - Paid for new I recieved Used.I recently purchased Legend from this company. I paid for it new price and I recieved a Used Copy. It was already opened and the DVD's were scratched as well as parts on inside cover were damaged. I am dissapointed with that. |
