Legend
Director Ridley Scott's lush fantasy film stars the young Tom Cruise as Jack, a peasant who lives in an enchanted forest with his beloved Lili (Mia Sara). One day, while quietly gamboling in a glade, the pair is distracted by the appearance of trolls, minions of the evil Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry). The cloven-footed, cavern-dwelling monster, long banished to the earth's nether regions, has sent the creatures on a mission to seize the horn of a unicorn, thereby plunging the planet into a frigid darkness over which he alone will reign. Things go from bad to worse as Lili succumbs to the forces of darkness, and Jack must assemble a motley band of elves to free her from bondage and return sunlight to the earth's surface. Sumptous art direction and overwhelming special effects are once again a testament to Scott's powers of visual invention.

"...Exhilarating visual elements....It is a fairy-tale produced on a grand scale, a classic tale of the struggle between darkness and light, good and evil..."

More Braveheart than Gladiator
I felt I'd wasted a rental on this film. The cinematography was superb but the story made no sense to me at all. I'll admit to not getting very far ... read more »

A Young Untarnished Unjuiced Tom Cruise
I really cherish Legend, and it is lovely to see Tom Cruise with his rather attractive slightly crooked teeth and personal charm before Hollywood got to him. I ... read more »
