Quite possibly the most visually stunning movie of the 80s, Legend’s vision and craftsmanship is easily 20 years ahead of its time with movies made in the early 2000s reaching the same visual finesse. Tom Cruise carries the role of the forest dwelling Link-like adventurer with affection, and generally the whole cast comes out with flying colors in their portrayals.

Story-wise the movie wanders far too deep in the fantasy land, and it’s ultimately only the stunning visuals that manage to keep up my interest up until the end credits roll.
