TraeHave you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?
Destroyer of Worlds 3000Not a theater walkout, but…
We just tried to watch “Legend” with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, and directed by Ridley Scott. It was so jarring, shockingly bad we couldn’t last past the 15 minute mark. The writing, the acting, the direction, the music (with bombastic synth stabs), and really terrible editorial/audio fx choices. Also, there is so many feathers just floating around. Honestly, I love b-movie fantasies (Krulletc) but this
thing takes itself so seriously and is so cringingly bad we just couldn’t get through it.
I feel you on the start. It felt way too serious at cliche fantasy to seem good. I was just looking to pass the time, though, and kept watching. I ended up loving the movie by the end.
Mostly because Tim Curry as the devil, but it definitely has that 80’s live movie magic going on. If the movie itself gets boring, there’s enough in the costumes and sets and the whole craft of it all to keep someone busy.
