Tom Cruise stars in this visually-stunning fantasy adventure in which pure good and evil battle to the death amidst spectacular surroundings. Set in a timeless mythical forest inhabited by fairies, goblins, unicorns and mortals, this fantastic story has Tom Cruise as a mystical forest dweller, chosen by fate to undertake a heroic quest. He must save a beautiful princess, Mia Sara, and defeat the demonic Lord of Darkness, Tim Curry, or the world will be plunged into a never-ending ice age. Co-starring Billy Barty and Alice Playten and directed by Ridley Scott, famed for his remarkable settings and unparalleled imagery, the incredibly realized fable is the stuff movie legends are made of.

Summary: Legend- DVD
Comment: This DVD was a great buy. I paid an excellent price for "Legend" and was very satisfied with the picture quality. The movie was brand new and in perfect condition. This is a classic old school fantasy flick. It has mythical creatures, fairies, magic and is a timeless tale of good versus evil. You will love the effects, wardrobe, and costumes, as well as the storyline.

Summary: Great movie
Comment: I've had this on VHS for years and finally decided it was time to buy it on d.v.d. Tim Curry plays one of my all time favorite devils.

Summary: U.S. version is a more sound movie
Comment: Hello,
Just recieved and reviewed these two version's of "Legend", I owned the U.S.
version on VHS for sometime. And shared with friend's. So now I finally saw the director's cut. And for me and a couple friends this cut didn't really add anything to the story and Jerry Goldsmith's music doesn't enhance the story. Tangerine Dream I feel is way more appropiate for this fantasy tale
it fit's the feel of the story It makes it feel more dream-like.
That's all Mike

Summary: Them's some big horns, Mr Curry
Comment: Never saw this when it came out years ago, bought the VHS originally to check out another Ridley Scott vehicle. For me, it does project a true fantasy "escape" world. Some incredible sets were made and dressed to create a version of a perfect natural world. Also some dark and forboding sets representing a hell of sorts. The story is sort of an Adam and Eve thing, with the parts played by the young cute people. I was eager to finally see the director's cut, with Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack. Sorry, but it didn't click with me. For some reason it took the experience away from a fantasy escape to a story more based in reality. Maybe the reson I have enjoyed this film over the years (the original) is that it reawakens the small eyes big in wonder boy inside of me. Cruise is young and unformed at this stage. Mia Sara makes a sweet princess, but when she gets dressed up in her "evil" black outfit, all I can say is YOWSA!. I say check it out.

Summary: Simply a Gem in my collection.
Comment: 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.
