matt lynchMar 19, 2017Why did Tom Cruise grab the armored top but not the pants?
JoeMay 13, 2021A link to the past. Very strong chance that this may be the most visually appealing movie as far as my tastes go—beautiful on all fronts with lush scenery, hypnotic visual atmos soundwaved with euphoric tones courtesy of Tangerine Dream, the best goblins and melty faced…

sarah squirmAug 26, 2017There are whale noises playing over slow-mo shots of unicorns in a forest...how could this be any less than a four star movie?

Anyone who has more than a passing familiarity with my reviews, should be aware of the fact that I don't believe in objective film analysis. My reviews and ratings are an expression of my subjective feelings on a film at that particular moment in time. But, even if I did…
Aberrant Ghoula rare ornate gem of a film, easily among the best of ridley scott's work, back when his visuals were lush & overwhelming in detail instead of stringent and aseptic. legend coasts along on intuitive ethereal vibes, a tactile set-bound fantasia of slime-slick goblins,…
comrade_yuiNov 13, 2024A truly bizarre amalgamation of picturesque surroundings plucked straight from an antique fairy tale and an open-and-shut good vs evil parable - a gloriously wacky experience. Ridley has done it all, really.

A beautiful movie to look at. They were definitely high on mushrooms during the whole production from beginning to end.
Kate likedLegendI wanna know how much of the budget went to glitter
zxki is "meh" onLegendPrincesses, demons, fairies, goblins, elves, unicorns, and creatures I don't even know. It's got it all and somehow still failed to keep my attention. You can tell it's a Ridley Scott production from the quality alone. The sound effects, special effects, practical effects, score, and imagery all…

yo, this movie is like black cauldron if it was good.. oh burn. anyway, in my opinion you got to watch the director's cut because the vibes! however, I'm not sure if young kids should watch this because it can be pretty upsetting. definitely not VivziePop's idea of hell!
Esperanza Garcia likedLegendI loved it honestly it's tacky but in a good way. the visuals were everything the way I want to be in that world. if you like watching those dark fantasy film edits this is a must watch.
Jazzy lovedLegendI don’t necessarily love the movie, but I absolutely love Tim Curry as the Lord of Darkness! And the poetic dialogue is wonderful

Metacritic
Despite all its sound and fury, Legend is a movie I didn't care very much about. All of the special effects in the world, and all of the great makeup, and all of the great Muppet creatures can't save a movie that has no clear idea of its own mission and no joy in its own accomplishment.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Mr. Cruise goes through all this nonsense gamely, as if it were an initiation into a fraternity he wants very much to join.
Vincent Canby
The New York Times
Fascinating in the way only a wrongheaded film by a great filmmaker can be, Legend lends beauty to such imagery, but the story keeps dragging it back to the mystical land of kitsch.
