Legend (1986)

Great movie

I've had this on VHS for years and finally decided it was time to buy it on d.v.d. Tim Curry plays one of my all time favorite devils. October 21, 2008

U.S. version is a more sound movie

Hello,
Just recieved and reviewed these two version's of "Legend", I owned the U.S.
version on VHS for sometime. And shared with friend's. So now I finally saw the director's cut. And for me and a couple friends this cut didn't really add anything to the story and Jerry Goldsmith's music doesn't enhance the story. Tangerine Dream I feel is way more appropiate for this fantasy tale
it fit's the feel of the story It makes it feel more dream-like.

Them's some big horns, Mr Curry

Never saw this when it came out years ago, bought the VHS originally to check out another Ridley Scott vehicle. For me, it does project a true fantasy "escape" world. Some incredible sets were made and dressed to create a version of a perfect natural world. Also some dark and forboding sets representing a hell of sorts. The story is sort of an Adam and Eve thing, with the parts played by the young cute people. I was eager to finally see the director's cut, with Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. Sorry, but it didn't click with me. For some reason it took the experience away from a fantasy escape to a story more based in reality. Maybe the reson I have enjoyed this film over the years (the original) is that it reawakens the small eyes big in wonder boy inside of me. Cruise is young and unformed at this stage. Mia Sara makes a sweet princess, but when she gets dressed up in her "evil" black outfit, all I can say is YOWSA!. I say check it out. October 19, 2008

Simply a Gem in my collection.

Legend, the Ultimate Edition brought back my childhood while allowing me to share it with the next. What a wonderful DVD with both versions of the film and enough extras to satisfy most. This is NOT a movie review (although that too would be high) but a review of this edition. If your research or knowledge of the movie peaks your interest, then this version is right for you.

Legend

This should be considered a great '80s classic! For those of you who are fans of Labyrinth or the Princess Bride, you will love this movie as well! Its a great tale about how Good overcomes Evil! There is drama, excitement, romance, & humor: something for everyone!
