Neve M @TrippyLifeMe2 1 day ago For its time and still to this date, I think this movie is great tf. I mean look at the make-up. the prosthetics! On all the evil characters. Meg isn’t even a real person lol, she’s an animatronic! Compared to what we have out today lol please. How many hours that must have taken. This film deserves more credit than it’s been given, but I love the whimsical fairytale good vs evil. This films decades old and still better than a lot of the trash I’ve seen in the cinemas today. See more Kevin R @Kevin199 3 days ago Atrocious acting, cringe-worthy dialogue, insanely loud, cliche plot, obvious fake snow, and sluggish pacing make this fairy tale fantasy film a dull misfire. Tom Cruise and Mia Sara had no chemistry. Easily Tom Cruise’s worst performance by a landslide. Mia Sara’s worst performance too. It’s not entirely bad as there are good things about it such as Tim Curry, the special effects, the gorgeous visuals, and the set design. This movie is boring. Can’t stand some of the singing in the American version with the Tangerine Dream score. The singing is ear is ear torture in the American version. I honestly prefer the European cut with Jerry Goldsmith’s score, but the European cut has terrible pacing. Tom Cruise and Mia Sara’s corny acting is on the same level as kids acting in a middle school play. The dialogue is so unnatural and even worse than the dialogue in the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy. No real human talks like anyone in this movie. Tim Curry is the one true saving grace in this.

He scared the crap out of me as a kid with that unbelievable costume and the gigantic horns. In my opinion, Ridley Scott knocked it out of the park with this gem.

See more Jeremy B @Cubs_N_Bears1978 Aug 30, 2026 Never even heard of this film til this week when Tim Curry died. Pretty good fantasy film. Glad I watched it. See more Matthew D @OceanSage Aug 28, 2026 A breathtaking fantasy spectacle and cute journey in dreaded danger. Director Ridley Scott’s dark fantasy adventure Legend (1985) is a dreamy fable from a masterful director at his most visually creative. I was immediately struck by the falling flowers and snow in the wind of the forest. The idyllic forestry and snowy trees both look incredible for Scott’s outstanding sets. Cinematographer Alex Thomson shoots Legend with a stunning glowing light and majestic framing. Tom Cruise is touching and compelling as Legend’s fantasy hero Jack O’ the Green. He’s a green man of the most stunningly cinematic forest you’ll ever see. Mia Sara is effervescent as Princess Lili. Her peerless beauty here makes her look like she’s glowing. Tim Curry is phenomenal as the imposing Lord of Darkness. His deep booming voice is iconic just like make-up artist Rob Bottin’s striking demon lord design. See more Read all reviews
