Director’s cut shows much more of the movie the American version cut out. Still an amazing movie that I love and seeing Tom Cruise so young still blows my mind to this day. Tim Curry is still one my favorite actors and his role as Darkness in this movie is perfect. Definitely worth seeing the Director’s Cut, helps the movie flow so much more.

The director's cut of Legend is head & shoulders above the US theatrical release. Nothing against Tangerine Dream (love them), their soundtrack is good, and fitting for the 1980s, but Jerry Goldsmith's score is timeless. I got this as a replacement as I loaned my original DVD from the early 2000s to a friend about a decade ago and it never got returned.

This release has the directors cut which was released in Europe. It is far superior to the American release in a hundred ways! If you like the American release, do yourself a favor and watch the directors cut...you will love it!

For starters, I am NOT a Tom Cruise fan. Unfortunately my wife is. I AM a fan of the fantasy genre in its many forms (books, movies, video games, etc.). I remember seeing Legend when I was a kid and thinking it was the greatest fantasy movie I had seen. Now that I am an adult and I see it again, I am reminded of why I enjoyed it so much as a kid. Ridley Scott does an amazing job filming this movie. The art direction is beautiful. From the dark eery creatures, to the magical forest scenes with unicorns and fairies, Scott really captures what a fairy tale world should look like. The acting is great, although not so much by Cruise. Tim Curry is awesome as Darkness. He makes the movie. Anybody who enjoys a good fairy tale cannot afford to miss this one.
So happy to get this particular 2 disc version of Legend with the 2nd disc being the version with the Tangerine Dream soundtrack. The bonus material shows Ridley Scott and others saying they think the TD soundtrack (evidently done for the American audience) was a mistake, but I totally disagree. The TD soundtrack is what makes the movie scenes so ethereal and increases the fantasy aspect.
