'Legend' has the exact look of a Disney fairy tale come to life. There is true artistic imagery present in the set design, costumes, make-up, f/x, etc. The look of this film has an immersive quality that really hasn't been seen since. The only major flaw here is the story, or lack thereof. There's a simple plot present, but no world building with use of mythology or other devices. It's essentially borrowed pieces from many different fairy tale films just kind of thrown together to little effect. The film lacks it's own identity. Magical in looks... and not much else.
