Legend

Holy crap did I forget this movie ever existed! I was watching tv at a party this weekend, trying to substitute water for beer (bad substitute but a better wake up the next morning) and this came on. I was shocked I had not thought of this to write about!

What I remember of this movie as a youngin' was it being a little risque in the facts that there was woman's cleavage, death, and torture. I wasn't really affected by this back then but looking at it now, I don't think I'd allow my kids to watch it until their at least in the double digits age wise (like 10-12).

I still kind of liked this movie in a way. However, I couldn't get over the unnecessary fantasy elements, like glitter on everything and those damnable bubbles! I also noticed there was a lot of sweating going on during the movie. It seems that everyone was really hot, even in the snow.

Also, did anyone else notice Tom Cruise had a unibrow? He looks really dorky for a heartthrob. I also couldn't believe Tim Curry was the devil dude. I wonder how he kept his head up, I mean his is a pretty thin guy (out of costume).

The dialogue isn't very good either. Very goth and on the childish side. The movie does have a very simple plot that it doesn't veer to far away from which is nice. However, the situations the characters are put in were very adult at times. Like watching someone get hacked to bits to be eaten in the background of the kitchen. You could inference what was going to happen to the heroes if they didn't escape.

I'm really on the fence about this movie. It was a really dark kids movie that was a bit repetitive at times but entertaining none the less. It also cues up really well with Mare the metal band.
