Legend

I wanna know how much of the budget went to glitter

A beautiful movie to look at. They were definitely high on mushrooms during the whole production from beginning to end.

Princesses, demons, fairies, goblins, elves, unicorns, and creatures I don't even know. It's got it all and somehow still failed to keep my attention. You can tell it's a Ridley Scott production from the quality alone. The sound effects, special effects, practical effects, score, and imagery all look and sound frighteningly incredible. There were moments I transcended. Mostly, I was bored. Although Tim Curry's performance is unforgettable. I hope there's a fleshed-out remake someday, preferably by Robert Eggers. The modern-day legend of myths and legends himself.

The movie is a short one and the plot sometimes feels rushed or like it missing something but it has such a good fantasy vibe to it.

Would it be as good if it were made today ? No. Is it corny ? Yes. That’s what makes it so good. 80s dark fantasy are fantastic and this is one that often goes under the radar compared to Labyrinth or the Dark Crystal.

8.5/10
