Legend (1985)

The 1985 film "Legend" was directed by Ridley Scott, and stars Tom Cruise, Tim Curry, Mia Sara and David Bennent. This is a moving fantasy that was loosely based on a Celtic fairytale. There are glittering sets and many magical creatures but the most sacred are the unicorns. An evil demon called Darkness sent goblins out to kill the unicorns so that the world is plunged into eternal Winter and night. The hero Jack sets off with his elfish friends to rescue the surviving unicorn and his beloved princess, who was held by Darkness. The entire film is eye candy with some monstrous scenes and light humour.
I rate this 9/10.
Weird fact: The unicorn is a deja vu from another film "Blade Runner".

Krull

This is a review of fantasy movie "Krull" (1983).
Directed by Peter Yates and starred Ken Marshall, Liam Neeson and Lysette Anthony.
Set in a medieval society on planet Krull, a prince and princess are deeply in love and want to marry, except that they come from two warring families. It's established early in the film that both agree to marry to build an alliance, and unite humans against the Slayers, an alien technological army that arrived in a giant spaceship called the Black Fortress. The leader of this Black Fortress is called The Beast. During the royal wedding, Slayers attack the palace and kidnap the princess. The film is mostly set on an epic journey as the prince is destined to locate the magical weapon called Glaive that will help him. He journeys with a patchwork of friends including a cyclops.
I rate this film at 7/10.
My favourites from Krull are the Fire Mares.

Jack the Giant Killer (1962)

Besides horror, this blog is also keen on reviewing fantasy films, like this old 1962 stop motion "Jack the Giant Killer". Directed by Nathan H. Juran and then produced by Edward Small. It stars Kerwin Mathews, Judi Meredith and Torin Thatcher.
The film has a load of special effects that are pretty good for its time. A princess is kidnapped by a sorcerer who uses dark magic. Then a young farmer named Jack saves the princess and wins a knighthood. This brings Jack into a longer voyage when the princess is taken once again and he sets out to rescue her, making new friends along the way. A vibrant film with plenty of magic and charm.
The scariest thing in the film was the storm witch.
I rate this a 7/10.
