Legendary?


Legend (1985)

Directed by Ridley Scott this fantasy film stars Tom Cruise, Mia Sara and Tim Curry. A young boy that grew up in the woods and a princess must protect unicorns from the powers of darkness.

As with any Ridley Scott film this is a visually stunning piece, especially the opening sections of innocence before the world is dropped into winter. While the plot is original it does echo the general tone and dark feel of older fairy tales but does seem to lack any depth. There are some good performances from the cast except for Tom Cruise who does seem to make the occasional jarring choice in his performance.

4/5
