The success of The Lord of the Rings has liberated a lot of fairy and elf movies from the Renaissance Fair ghetto, leading directly to this 2-disc resurrection of Ridley Scotts Legend. While certainly not Scotts best movie, Legend is still viable proof that, in the right hands, a fantasy film could have breathtaking visuals in the years B.C.G.I. (before computer generated images).
Both the original theatrical version and the extended Directors Cut are included, along with interview-laden featurettes and a few lost scenes. While your interest in these will be directly proportional to your enjoyment of the film, they do offer some trivia bits that will engage Scott fans in generallike the notion that Ridley wanted to make one of two films: Legend, or a musical about a spaceship crash landing in Jerusalem. See? Maybe putting Tom Cruise on a unicorn wasnt such a bad way to go.
