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

Rating:  - Simply a Gem in my collection.
Legend, the Ultimate Edition brought back my childhood while allowing me to share it with the next. What a wonderful DVD with both versions of the film and enough extras to satisfy most. This is NOT a movie review (although that too would be high) but a review of this edition. If your research or knowledge of the movie peaks your interest, then this version is right for you.
Rating: - Legend
This should be considered a great '80s classic! For those of you who are fans of Labyrinth or the Princess Bride, you will love this movie as well! Its a great tale about how Good overcomes Evil! There is drama, excitement, romance, & humor: something for everyone!
Rating: - Brings back childhood memories
The DVD arrived promptly and in very good condition. We had a great time revisiting this movie.
Rating: - Excellent Viewing For All Ages
This is an excellent movie. There is no filthy language, sex or real violance. I wish holywood would make more movies like this. All ages can watch this and it's truly enjoyable.
Rating: - The musical score *does* make all the difference
Legend is one of my favorite movies. While the acting isn't great, the incredibly beautiful, dream-like fantasy world setting *more* than makes up for any negatives (IMO). I have seen both versions of the movie, the edited version with the haunting musical score that included "Loved by the Sun" by Tangerine Dream, and the the original Goldsmith musical score.
Honestly, while it sounds more "dated", I prefer the Tangerine Dream musical score as it seems more fitting to the fantasy ... Read More
