Reviews for Legend
Ridley Scott's re-edit of Legend contains...heretofore-unseen footage and Jerry Goldsmith's regal original score, and with no pun intended, it's a fantastic film.

Legend is a Gothic fairy tale brought to life.

Perhaps ahead of its time, certainly too ambitious for its budget and its era, Legend is nevertheless a fascinating film

Could have been a genre classic if it had benefited from a meatier screenplay and a studio that didn’t butcher the final product.

The movie is enchanting and has moments of magic, but it's an utter train wreck, overwhelmed by cheesy special effects, dialogue writ insanely large, and a kind of goofy plot.

Thatcher. Reagan. Flock of Seagulls. These weren't the only evil things from the 1980s. There were also Hollywood fantasy movies such as this one . . .
