HTF REVIEW: "Legend" (with screenshots) (1 Viewer)

[Steve Lockwood]

Looks awesome. Thanks for the review Ron. All I need now is the 12" Jango Fett figure

UUGGHH!

DIGIPAKs again!!!

Based on the screener I saw, Oona's FX looked spruced up just a little. I could be wrong though! Since the only version I ever saw was the 89-minute one, I noticed several cool new things...not the least of which are Princess Lili's beautiful songs!

I cannot WAIT to buy this set! Glad you liked it, Ron!

 

[Cees Alons]

Ron,

Like you, I liked the film after seeing it (on TV!), but didn't consider it a masterpiece. Then I found out it stayed with me just somewhat more and longer (like the film Gladiator - for different reasons - did).

Your review makes me very happy I ordered this version!

Thanks.

Cees

It's also interesting to note that the DC is missing a few scenes and shots found in the US release. The initial "snowing over" transition of the clock in Nell's cottage, the "wild things" that jump out and attack Gump, Lily looking over the fruit at Darkness's table (where the glass also magically fills up), the entire rebirth of the unicorn during the U.S. version's ending montage and the alternate take of Jack and Lily running towards the sunset (it's just Jack in the DC).

I can't believe how satisfying this disc set is... it really was worth the extra wait!

 

[Scott Weinberg]

Good eye, Patrick.

I also noticed a few things:

In the US version, there's a scene early on that shows one of Darkness' "cooks" whipping a guy on a table. This scene is removed but shows up in the background of the DC extended kitchen scene.

I loved all of Lili's songs! Very storybook-ish and it adds some sweetness to the early scenes.

It's also quite cool how we don't see Lili running into the sunset with Jack
anymore.

Question for Patrick (or anyone else who's already seen the Director's Cut)!: Is the scene where Gump replaces the unicorn's horn gone? I seem to think it is. Reply in spoiler tags please!

 

[Tony_Faville]

Scott...

Yes, the horn replacement is gone in the DC.

 

[Mike Witko]

Just got this yesterday and can't wait to watch it tonight!!

 

[Dave F]

Is there anyway to remove the security tag without destroying the case?

Thank god the DVD isn't full of those darn motion menus.

Dave, I had good luck prying the back off just a bit and sticking the end of a steak knife under the edge of the security sticker. You have to gently work it off, but it is possible.
