Viewing Notes
Ridley Scott proved to be a visual master with LEGEND. I saw this as a kid and to this day the creature effects hold up.
Tangerine Dream score. Tim Curry as a devil with giant horns. Unicorns! I love it.
Plot-wise, LEGEND is a bit dopey, and Tom Cruise can be annoying, but I still love it. I prefer the theatrical cut hands down over the Director’s Cut, you can’t go wrong with the wonderful Tangerine Dream score.
