Legend (1985)

I decided today I would watch both the US theatrical version and the director’s cut, one right after the other, so I did.

Being a Tangerine Dream fan, I vastly prefer their score over Jerry Goldsmith’s. I can’t deny, though, that the director’s cut has the superior narrative; Darkness’ reveal, Lily’s characterization, etc. are handled much better here than in the American version.

Since both cuts have their own particular strengths, they about balance out quality-wise. I give them both 9/10.
