Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This strange, 1985 experiment by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) starred the up-and-coming Tom Cruise in a fairy-tale world of dwarfs and unicorns and demons. 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




Rating: - 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.

Rating: - 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.
That's all Mike

Rating: - 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, ... Read More

Rating: - 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.

Rating: - 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!
