Legend
An elaborate hodgepodge of fairy tale romance and mythological mumbo-jumbo, Ridley Scott’s big-budget fantasy is high-gloss kitsch, beautifully photographed by Alex Thomson and brought to life by Rob Bottin’s stunning makeup effects which are worn by the majority of the—very large—cast. Star Tom Cruise naturally foregoes any masks, leaving it to Tim Curry to steal the show as “Darkness,” a red-skinned creature capped by enormous bull-horns, the weight of which forced the actor into a nightly bath simply to remove the appliances. Kudos to Scott for giving pint-sized Billy Barty a king-sized role.
