Review of Legend (1985) by Vincent W — 28 Apr 2013
This film is really hard to judge because it does some things SO well whereas it does other things TERRIBLY.
The cinematography is probably the best i've ever seen for any film up to 1986. It is georgeous. Some of the camera work for the inside sets is less inspiring but the early phases of the film are absolutely brilliant.
The script and plot on the other hand are abysmal. Words cannot express how cliche this film is. It is the most bogus piece of trash I have ever seen in terms of plot/script.
The acting is ok but it's impossible to actually believe in characters that are this poorly written and have such incredibly dumb lines.
I would like to compliment Tim Curry for his epic bad guy voice. The sound team was able to inject some animalistic quality into his voice (something like a roaring pig) and it was really awesome.
SUMMARY- I flipped through this quickly for the eye candy and watched a few important parts but this film really isn't worth watching. NOT RECOMMENDED.
