A link to the past.
Very strong chance that this may be the most visually appealing movie as far as my tastes go—beautiful on all fronts with lush scenery, hypnotic visual atmos soundwaved with euphoric tones courtesy of Tangerine Dream, the best goblins and melty faced creatures I’ve ever seen, and the single scariest image from my youth that I would eventually become obsessed with—Darkness.
A friend recently said that this will probably be the best Legend of Zelda movie that we’ll ever get and I’m inclined to agree. Hits all the beats I look for in a movie like this without being 4 hours long which almost gives the the vapors as much as that TD score. I was…
don’t show me a movie unless it looks like this and is scored by tangerine dream with a credits song by BRYAN FERRY !?!
this is what we call a GLITTER MOVIE!!!!
What else do you people want? This fucking thing has:
- Tim Curry wrapped in a thousand pounds of sexy latex.
- Tom Cruise hugging a fox.
- A Tangerine Dream score played with one elbow.
- Lengthy unicorn pornography.
- "I could eat her brains like jam."
- Tom Cruise wearing a scale mail dress.
- There's a fucking character named Honeythorn Gump.
- Mia Sara, nailing her performance and still being the second prettiest.
- A swamp witch played by Robert "Innerspace Cowboy" Picardo.
- Tom Cruise squatting. A lot.
- Billy Barty, being a goddamn delight.
- A sex dungeon made by Disney.
- An entire sequence devoted to throwing enormous frisbees.
- The plot of at least three D&D campaigns I've played.
- A way cooler fairy than that Julia Roberts Hook garbage.
Anyone who has more than a passing familiarity with my reviews, should be aware of the fact that I don't believe in objective film analysis. My reviews and ratings are an expression of my subjective feelings on a film at that particular moment in time. But, even if I did review films objectively, this is one of those films where I would find such a task impossible. This was one of those defining films for me. As with Alien and Blade Runner, there's just something about the aesthetic of Ridley Scott's early output that resonated with me in my formative years. It's one of those films I can watch endlessly and, every time I do, for 89 minutes, I feel…
There are whale noises playing over slow-mo shots of unicorns in a forest...how could this be any less than a four star movie?
a rare ornate gem of a film, easily among the best of ridley scott's work, back when his visuals were lush & overwhelming in detail instead of stringent and aseptic. legend coasts along on intuitive ethereal vibes, a tactile set-bound fantasia of slime-slick goblins, capricious fairy glamour and deliriously fervid colors, all sweetly wrapped within the buttery-smooth synths of tangerine dream's perfect score. the kind of movie where no one wears pants and tom cruise's face is constantly smothered in a thick sheen of glitter. a pure sensory experience.
Action!: The Scott Brothers – How To Get Screwed By Spielberg Twice W/ Ridley Scott
The movie that feels like a slap in the face and a “fuck you” to everyone who told Ridley he shouldn't use the unicorn in Blade Runner.
After having this movie on Prime for almost a year now, and hearing about the movie for quite some time, I finally decided to watch this somewhat bizarre fantasy movie that followed the iconic "Blade Runner". In a sense, it feels like a radical departure from the film noir, but then you realize that's not entirely the case. The film's cinematography and camera work share a lot in common with his previous project. With his display of creativity…
The best drippy goblin I've ever seen in my life. More fantasy movies with gross drippy goblins and nightmare facial prostheses and elaborate lush otherworld sets and Tangerine Dream synth scores, please.
