Legend Blu-ray Movie Review

Reviewed by Justin Dekker April 29, 2025

Ridley Scott's dark fantasy epic returns to Blu-ray disc in this slipcovered 'Legend: Iconic Moments' release courtesy of Universal. The film stars Tom Cruise ('Top Gun') in an early film role alongside Mia Sara ('Ferris Beuller's Day Off') and Tim Curry ('Clue', 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'). The included Blu-ray disc and its packaging is identical to the 'Legend: Ultimate Edition' released in 2011. For a discussion of the new slipcover unique to this release, please scroll down to the "Supplemental Features and Extras" section of the review. Neither a DVD nor a Digital Code is included.

The slipcover is as simple as it is effective and focuses on the most widely identifiable element from the film: Tim Curry's menacing Lord of Darkness. Curry's character stands slightly off-center with a staff in his hand in a field of grey. A quote from his character is centered at the bottom. The grey spine features the film's title in white block letters in the center, with the Blu-ray logo at the top and Universal's logo at the bottom. The reverse replicates and enlarges the stills found on the back of the Blu-ray's case, along with a brief synopsis of the film and an accounting of the disc's supplemental material.

Legend Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  4.0 of 5

Legend is a film that is likely already in the libraries of many Blu-ray collectors, and Scott's film is a remarkable visual feast. Universal's new Legend: Iconic Moments release provides an attractive slip for an enjoyable film at a very reasonable price. While the packaging underneath the slipcover and the disc contained therein are identical to the 2011 release, for those who don't yet own a copy, or those who actively seek out new slipcovers, Legend: Iconic Moments comes recommended.
