Review of Legend (2015) by Ydnar4 — 16 Jan 2016

I'm as big of a Tom Hardy fan as anyone but I couldn't help but be a little disappointed by Legend. Legend was one of the most anticipated movies of the Oscar season because it had Tom Hardy playing a set of twins and the performance really doesn't disappoint although it didn't pick up an nominations.

Hardy completely carries Legend, its a film that is fairly dull, repetitive and overlong without his performance. Emily Browning is pretty strong as the love interest as well and Taron Edgeron from Kingsmen is in this film but he really doesn't have much of a role which was disappointing.

Legend seems almost style over substance. The film looks really great but a film that relies so much on the twins storyline the twins really don't have that many good scenes together and their relationship is underdeveloped in favor of an on again off again love story.

I can still recommend Legend if you are a Tom Hardy fan but outside of that there isn't much to be had here.
