Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
This strange, 1985 experiment by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) starred the up-and-coming Tom Cruise in a fairy-tale world of dwarfs and unicorns and demons. After the horn of a unicorn is broken, darkness and winter descend upon the world. Cruise's character, helped along by a magic sprite played by David Bennent (The Tin Drum), descends into hell to save paradise. This movie is almost a classic case of art direction gone amok. The somewhat amorphous Cruise doesn't lend much dramatic focus or artistic definition, but the drama between Tim Curry's satanic majesty and Mia Sara's character, who becomes a sort of princess of the netherworld, is pretty captivating. A mixed experience all around that makes one wish it had been more successful. --Tom Keogh

- Warning about this version of the Movie
If you loved the original movie and soundtrack DO NOT BUY THIS DVD. It is altered and much of the original music is different. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED and whomever "monkied" with this version of the movie for the DVD made it a worse production than the original.

- Paid for new I recieved Used.
I recently purchased Legend from this company. I paid for it new price and I recieved a Used Copy. It was already opened and the DVD's were scratched as well as parts on inside cover were damaged. I am dissapointed with that.

- 2 & 1/2: A Gorgeous Disaster
If this film had been blessed with a cohesive, original plot and adequate writing to match its truly breathtaking cinematography and art direction, it could have been a classic.

Instead, it was a gigantic commercial and artistic failure for director Ridley Scott and...well, practically everyone involved. Tom Cruise--at the time hot off the 'Risky Business' craze--was lucky to have escaped with a career after this massive blunder.

The story? Well, an evil Satan-type named ... Read More

- Quality
I have always loved this movie, it's the perfect type of fantasy movie. Tom cruise as a young man in shorts and chainmail and a wicked rendition of the devil played by Tim Curry. Totally wicked.

- A fantasy masterpiece
Best Fantasy movie ever! Heads above LOTR. Jack (Cruise) must penetrate the frightful castle of Lord Darkness (Curry) and fight him following the kidnapping of a unicorn. Lily (Sara) is wooed by Darkness. Jack must win her back and save the unicorn before the sun sets forever. For best results, watch with the Tangerine Dream Soundtrack. Easily in my top 5.
