Playing on an anticipation of the viewer's weak memory, Legend offers us a couple of migrant dwarves straight from Middle Earth, a little-used golden sword on loan from King Arthur, a satanic but tender-hearted Evil (Tim Curry) lifted from Goethe, an outdoorsy-type hero borrowed from Edgar Rice Borroughs (Cruise), a couple of white unicorns stolen from the planet of Pern and a fairy queen cloned from Tinkerbell.
