Legend is a great film. Ok, well to me it has always been great. When friends mention the turning point in their cinema loving lives, I hear the usual...Kubrick, Spielberg, Coppola.
When I mention Ridley Scotts' Legend, there is a bit of confusion, and laughter.
"You pick that over Blade Runner?"
Yes.
Maybe it's the massive, lush set design. Maybe it's the contrast of beautiful brights, and chill inducing darks. Or maybe just my love of the fantasy genre. I do know that I Love this film. This is in my opinion cinematic perfection.
Pure escapist entertainment. What the big screen was invented for.
I pay no mind to negative reviews(I think 99% of critic reviews are as such).
I watched the Blu-Ray. Both versions. The color timing is wildly different than the dvd, but this is a good thing. Legend has never looked better. The theatrical cut is what I am used to, but the Directors cut is growing on me(especially the beautiful score by Jerry Goldsmith). I feel as though I should send Universal a check for more money, because paying $15 for a film this beautiful makes me feel like a criminal.
Owning this title on Blu-Ray is a dream come true.
