Legend (DVD) ... Mia Sara ... / DVD released 04 March, 2002 at 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment / Features of the DVD: PAL, Widescreen / This strange, 1985 experiment by Ridley Scott (Blade Runner) starred the up-and-coming Tom Cruise in a fairy-tale world of dwarfs and unicorns and demons. After the horn of a unicorn is broken, darkness and winter descend upon the world. Cruise's character, helped along by a magic sprite played by David Bennent (The Tin Drum), descends into hell to save paradise. This movie is almost a classic case of art direction gone amok. The somewhat amorphous Cruise doesn't lend much dramatic focus or artistic definition, but the drama between Tim Curry's satanic majesty and Mia Sara's character, who becomes a sort of princess of the netherworld, is pretty captivating. A mixed experience all around that makes one wish it had been more successful. --Tom Keogh

 ... fantastic and look like something straight from a dream (or sometimes nightmare). The way they created the whole atmosphere of the sets is brilliant. It's actually no longer found in modern films either. The old-fashioned camerawork and unglamourised non-multi million dollar look isn't found in movies like this anymore, and it just works perfectly with the whole feel of the film. These days, everything looks too polished to achieve the same magical fairy land seen here. Not that I'm complaining, I love modern movies...more

I don’t know about you but there is a part of me that, when I’m watching Lord of the Rings, wants Middle Earth to be real and the good guys to be like Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom and the bad guys to be easily identifiable because they’re so damn ugly. When I watched The Last Unicorn, I wanted unicorns to be real. What if Lara Croft really existed? Life would be so much more interesting if Batman was real, preferably in his George Clooney incarnation! Of all of that lot, though, I would prefer Lord of the Rings to be real, and if it were I would be straight down the estate agents to check out real estate prices near Rivendell (although I ...
