Editorial Reviews

Tom Cruise was a newly minted star (courtesy of Risky Business) when he was chosen to play the lead in this opulently produced fantasy, which got mixed reviews but delighted audiences all over the world. A perennial favorite at video stores -- in part because it’s an adventure film that can be enjoyed by the whole family -- Legend is finally available in a deluxe DVD edition containing two strikingly different versions of the film: the one that appeared in theaters and a never-released cut by director Ridley Scott. Cruise will still make young girls’ hearts flutter as the arboreal hero of this timeless tale, which finds the lord of darkness (Tim Curry) menacing a beautiful princess (Mia Sara) who embodies the innocence he must destroy in order to conquer the world. Fairies, goblins, and monsters abound, all of them vividly depicted, thanks to what was in 1985 state-of-the-art makeup and visual effects. Scott never loses sight of the fact that Legend is just a glorified fairy tale, and he spares no effort in creating a never-never land that is as believable as it is magical. The leading roles are well filled, as Cruise and Sara embody virtue perfectly, and Curry is appropriately majestic and demonic as the genuinely spine-chilling dark lord. A real treat for the senses, Legend has everything you could hope for in family fantasy: action, adventure, humor, romance, and mysticism. Supplemental features on the Special Edition include a making-of documentary titled "Creating a Myth," deleted scenes, musical scoring and storyboard images depicting scenes dropped from the script, and DVD-ROM content that includes script-to-screen comparisons. The unrated director's cut is also available in a stand-alone edition.
