Title: Not for Kids
Review: I picked up legend because my daughter is into the fantasy genre (Ladyhawke, Dragonheart, Pricess Bride). I was dissappointed with this movie.Legend has all the elements that should make it a great fantasy film, Unicorns, fairies, elves, goblins. . . an innocent princess and a really evil villan. Somehow it still falls flat. It never inspires a real rapport with the characters. The best character is Tim Curry's devil.The emphasis of the film is more on the visual scenery than the storyline. Way too much time is spent grubbing around in "hell", which was way too creepy for us. Tom Cruise was a two dimensional hero. Not enough substance there to get worked up over.Our two girls (10 & 11) were very disturbed by it, to the point they couldn't sleep. I don't recommend it for pre-teens.
