Looking at the critics' bias, Costner could have ruined this film, but as much as people praise, of all things, the casting, I feel that this cast is just awkward without Costner, and with Van Helsing playing the father of a vampire. Barney Stinson, I reckon you're on the money, as this film is not much more than alright on the whole, which I suppose is a definitive opinion, seeing as how the reception of this film is split, probably because people had a real beef with Kevin Costner in the 1990s, and this film is such a 1990s pseudo-epic about nature, humanity, history and what have you that it's near-impossible to believe that Costner didn't show up. Sorry to go this quote, but I love it so much that I just have to say, "It was 'Legend-wait for it-s of the Fall it was okay." Well, Mr. Legends of the Fall is a movie by Edward Zwick who I respect as a director, and although this was not his best work it was definently a good movie that could have been much less cheesy.Įdward Zwick had his fun in the Civil War with "Glory", but now he's heading to WWI, and if you thought that there was too little actual military combat in "Glory", well, folks, let me tell you that, well, this film is about WWI for, like, less 30 minutes or something, and then it's just about a bunch of family problems. The cinematography won an Oscar, and boy did it deserve it, every scene was great and it was mostly due to great camera work. The score of the film was truly incredible, it makes this film very upliftIng and without the music this would have been a very sad movie. Anthony Hopkins is always incredible and he did great as the father of the three brothers. Brad Pitt was not in many films back then and this is one of the few films that made him grow to be a huge movie star. The plot of the film concerns three brothers all in love with the same woman, and I can honestly say I was interested what was going on in the film, the characters are greatly detailed and I liked them all, but I could not ignore the fact that many huge parts of the story were unrealistic and to cheesy for my taste, but still a pretty good plot. Legends of the Fall is a decent romantic western that I found enjoyable but at times very cheesy.
