Grand tale about passion, guilt and grief set in the wilds of Montana.

Can be recommended to all the viewers hungry for movies that Hollywood knew how to make some thirty or forty years ago.

Big and beautiful as it looks, the film doesn't deliver much emotional punch.

Top CriticPredictable and inevitable.

Though the admirable Quinn has the toughest role, Pitt carries the picture. The blue-eyed boy who seemed a bit lost in Interview With the Vampire proves himself a bona fide movie star, stealing every scene he's in.

Top CriticJust like quality loo roll, it's long in duration and strong on technical quality. Unfortunately it's also soft on plot and characterisation.
04/17/01
Big, bombastic and in the hands of director Edward Zwick, a bit much. In fact, it seems at times like little more than an overblown television miniseries.

Pitt is the only redeeming feature of the film; Pitt’s talents have gone relatively unnoticed since his debut in Thelma and Louise in 1991, and Legends should give him the notice he deserves.

We see ... misery, betrayal, heartbreak, ridiculous plot twists and, after he sustains a stroke, Hopkins apparently doing a composite impression of Popeye and Quasimodo.

Top CriticThe kind of movie that doesn't require much effort to surrender to and enjoy.

What needs to be epic often seems petty and small. Perhaps it was in compensation for this narrative inadequacy that the musical score grew to be sweepingly grand and intrusively ever-present.
01/01/00
A thoughtful and occasionally powerful epic film. It is unusual to see filmmakers taking a risk on this type of film any more, but this one deserves to pay off.
01/01/00
As directed by Edward Zwick, the yarn doesn't so much sweep as sprawl across the screen in all its panoramic idiocy.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis is the kind of big, robust Western love story that just begs to be filmed -- which, come to think of it, it has been.
01/01/00
Top Critict's muddled, bombastic, and often gets by purely on style points, yet for some reason, inexplicably, it also manages to be occasionally entertaining.
01/01/00
Zwick seems to have taken Terrence Malick's gorgeous Days of Heaven as his model, but he lacks Malick's sense of geometry, and his aspiration to mythic quality feels more pretentious than heartfelt.
