MCT:September 7, 2008First fell in love with Tom Cruise here.
The beginning of Tom Cruise Love -
MCT:August 30, 2008One of Tom Cruises circa 80s films. Highly underrated by most "non flixster" critics. (well, it seems to be doing good here, but on other movie sites its ratings are down on the dumps.)
I only saw this lately, and for an old movie I was actually impressed with it.
I think the only fatal flaw they made with this one was that scene where everyone was saying "Kill Him". Its a fairytale movie, they ment it to be a kiddie/family movie, hence its supposed to be wholesome; but for the good guys to say those two lines again and again, well.. It kinda made my hair stand a bit. This had the potential to be in par with the Neverending Story and Labyrinth, but alas, they fell short.. I think its a film better suited for the older kids (Ages 9 and up).
Found Tim Currys El Diablo character to be a bit funny. I found David Bennets acting impressive! --- Im always a sucker for "puck-like-characters" (Puck-Midsummer nights dream);
"No! Damnation! Codfish and Cockles! Gammon and trotters! Rabbit noodles! Piddlepuddles and Kaka crumpets! Piss pofs and thunder mugs! Doodoo dammit! Dammit! Dammit! Riddlewiddler!" ~ Gump
(David Bennent)
Its not perfect really, there actually are some scenes where I found myself laughing at minute misplaced details, but its forgivable.
A good, easy movie to sink into after a stressful day at work, school or wherever. -
MCT:August 28, 2008One of my best friends has been bugging me to see this.It was very cool.A little flick by Ridley Scott I had never heard of.Awesome little Fantasy adventure starring a very young Tom Cruise.This was a very pleasant change of pace from what I have been watching lately so I really enjoyed this one.Oh,and it has I guarantee the dam scariest looking Satan anyone has ever brought to film.If anyone knows of a better one please let me know.Totally recommending this! =)

rare version with the bluebell riddle, find it if you can. Normally I loathe Tom Cruise (utterly annoyed I've got his "official site" as a link on my profile, but this is a young Cruise before the Scientology and ego inflated his brain.

Awsome fantasy movie, well done by director Ridley Scott. Set in the most magical place of Legend, is the evil Darkness played brilliantly by Tim Curry, who set's to rule the world by destroying the light and keeping the world in Dark forever. Here comes Jack played by Tom Cruise who set's out to rescue his Lily and to save the planet before it's too late, and with the help of magical elves and fairies. A great movie and a cool soundtrack done by Tangerine Dream. The European version is also well done in the difference of the music score. Loved it!

This is a guilty pleasure for me- not the best acting. Except Tim Curry is PERFECT as the devil!!!But I love the filming of this movie-it actually feels like a dream fairy world...thats the REAL reason I love to watch this over and over

MCT:July 31, 2008This is the only movie with Tom Cruise that I actually enjoyed. I remember that little sprite dude was creepy and freaked me out!!

Talk about your fairytales... This was such a beautiful story. My kids like it with reserve. My younger two still aren't too sure about the lord of darkness but that's as it should be, eh?

MCT:July 28, 2008
A beautiful classical fantasy storie with faries,unicorns and trolls, A fight between good and evil.

Another movie that I may have been the only person to watch and love! Tom Cruise was the only bad part of the movie, his performance was weak. Tim Curry was amazing though.

A young hermit Jack (Tom Cruise) meets with his love, Princess Lily (Mia Sara) in the forest. Jack takes Lily to see the creatures followed by Blix (Alice Playten) & her 2 cohorts Pox (Peter O'Farrell) & Blunder (Kiran Shah).
Jack meets a fairy - Oona (Annabelle Lanyon), an elf - Honeythorn Gump (David Bennent), two dwarves - Brown Tom (Cork Hubbert), & Screwball (Billy Barty). Jack dresses fit in armor & a sword, but no pants. & he is happy his girl; Lily is still alive. Jack dives into the pond to recover the ring as he slip the ring onto Lily's finger when Princess is awakens. -

This is probably my favorite movie of all time, and that's saying a lot. I grew up watching it almost every day, and although this one didn't receive very positive praise from the critics, it will always have a special place in my heart. That's why it's at the top of my favorites list. The sets are glorious, and the film features several well-known actors. Tom Cruise got his start from this film, and Tim Curry is brilliant. The contrasting idea here between good and evil, and the relationship between the two emphasize that although on opposite ends of the spectrum, one could not exist without the other. Please view the U.S. theatrical release before viewing the European version, it's so much better. And it features one of my favorite songs ever: Brian Ferry's 'Is Your Love Strong Enough?"

This movie was quite cool in an old school way. I can't say I could get really into it; it wasn't epic like the Star Wars movies, which, while primitive in effects, were spectacular in all other aspects. This movie had it's highlights, and for it's time I'm sure it was quite the achievement. However, it just didn't reach legendary status in my opinion. I was very impressed with the way that Tim Curry pulled off the Lord of Darkness. His acting was top notch. That wasn't all though - his costume was terrific, and could have held it's own with modern CGI. It was the most professionally executed part of the movie.
In the end, I liked this movie, and I think it is worth a watch, but even primitive effects aside, the plot was not good enough to elevate it to the status of a "Legend" =D -
MCT:July 10, 2008
For an old fantasy movie, it was pretty good. The effects are obviously lacking when compared to later films, but the story is told well.

Scary film for young children to watch but has everything a fairy tale could want. A hero, a beautiful leading lady and a nemesis in the form of the Lord of Darkness, perfectly played by Tim Curry.
-
MCT:June 28, 2008

MCT:June 27, 2008

Ridley Scott is a perfectionist filmmaker and every frame of this movie is filled to the brim with touches that add to the fairy tale quality of the storyline and film. Tim Curry's makeup and performance are the real reason to see the film. The scene where he walks out of the mirror was one of those moments in my childhood where I knew that movies were more than pretty moving pictures. They could be magical, and interesting, and moving, and spark your imagination. Actually, now that I think about it, all of the makeup in the movie was amazing. The Keith Richards looking goblins, the sticky slimy swam dwelling Meg Mucklebones, and all of the rest of the fantasy creatures. I used to watch this movie constantly on TV for the fantasy, adventure, and romance. Truth be told, the U.S. edit is terrible in comparison to the Director's/European edit...thank you special edition DVDs for making one of my favorite movies even better!

Legend is my favorite movie. I have seen Dark Crystal too but not Labyrinth (wants to see it!).
Legend had another manus script (a longer one) at first and was supposed to have the title: Legend of Darkness.posted 514 days ago -

I love how the Lord of Darkness looked like a bull, and had those humongous horns. He looked cool.
