Best Soundtrack ever, only Tom Cruise Film Worth watching
Like I said, this is the only Tom Cruise film I have EVER enjoyed. His acting is still wooden and lame, but he plays a young, immature kid, so it suits him still today. I am going to buy the soundtrack again after loseing my last copy. Enjoy

Wonderful fairy-tale - Great DTS sound!
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie - both versions. The score is really beautiful. It gives you feelings of sadness, fear, happiness - yes all of these in great DTS sound. A younger Tom Cruise in the days when he wasn't so well-known, portrays the fictional character and hero who overtakes evil and restores goodness and light to the world. Great makeup jobs on the Lord of Darkness and the goblins for a 1986 film. Great bonus features and good commentary. What a story! What a fairy-tale!

An Epic Fantasy
Long before the success of the "Lord of the Rings", there was "Legend", a movie about good and evil, darkness and light. The story revolves around the mythical faerie creature called the unicorn. As long as unicorns roam the earth, evil can never come to the pure of heart. Due to this, the evil Lord of Darkness (Tim Curry) has sent his most evil goblin Blix (Alice Playten) to cut off the horn of the unicorn. Without their horn, the unicorn loses its power and the earth will be shrouded in darkness.

However, two other mortals, Jack (Tom Cruise) and his beautiful young friend Lily (Mia Sara) live in the forest as well. Jack takes Lily to see the mythical creatures, but Lily mistakenly touches one of them, and, unknown to her, she has secretly led Blix and his minions to the creatures in the process. Frightened by Lily's touch, the unicorns bolt, but not before Blix unleashes a poisoned arrow at them. The arrow strikes home, and soon one of the unicorns is down. Blix raises his sword and severs the unicorn's horn. Triumphantly, he begins his journey to the Lord of Darkness, the prized horn accompanying him. Immediately after the horn was severed, the forest is covered in frost and snow. Gone is the sunlight and warmth.

Soon, Jack is joined by several other forest creatures, led by the elf Honeythorn Gump (David Bennett). Their task is to retrieve the horn and heal the unicorn before the Lord of Darkness gains possession. To make matters worse for Jack and his friends, the other unicorn and Lily have been captured and taken prisoner. Will Jack arrive in time to free Lily and regain possession of the horn, or will the Lord of Darkness succeed in his quest to rid the world of all unicorns so he can rule the world in total darkness?

This is a very good movie. Tim Curry is simply magnificent as the Lord of Darkness, and Tom Cruise and Mia Sara do a fine job as well. The story is exciting, and the special effects are well-done. I am a big fan of fantasy fiction, both books and movies, and I was very impressed with this movie. Although the special effects are nothing like those found in the "Lord of the Rings" movies, they are still very good.

I give this movie my highest recommendation. Watch and see an epic battle between the forces of good and evil.
