Fairyland and the Devil
|
This was a popular 1980s fantasy film, albeit an untidy release, that went through a number of alternative cuts for the theatre and television. There seems to be a fan base that is divided over the director's cut and the US version. Both are available through this DVD release.
Legend is fantasy. There is lots of magic and adventure. The cast constitutes mostly mythical creatures, likes elves and demons. The story is standard good versus evil, light versus darkness, that revolves around the execution of a unicorn that will end the world of light. Jack (Tom Cruise) with his magical friends must save the world and the kidnapped princess before it is too late.
The production values move between excellent and looking staged but given the amount of fantasy on display it still manages to be a convincing world. There are not too many fantasy films so eventually everyone gets around to watching Legend. Probably the main reason to watch it is because it is a Ridley Scott production, although not one of his best. Tim Curry as the devil puts on a good performance and the makeup effects here are nothing short of stunning. There is one good horn ramming sequence that stands out.
The film does seem to be unsure of itself at the best of times. Is it a film for children? Or is it a film for adults? It appears that even some teenagers may have trouble with this film because it does get dark at times. Parental viewing may be necessary. |
