    The latest offering from Edward Zwick, the director of "Glory," is the kind of movie that doesn't require much effort to surrender to and enjoy.

    What makes Legends such an entertaining male weepie is the star shine. Though the admirable Quinn has the toughest role, Pitt carries the picture.

    In all, Legends Of The Fall is a grand bore, more laughable than stirring. So big everything becomes blurry and distant, so beautiful it could be ad for male hair products.

    Legends of the Fall never makes you think too hard; its woes-of-a-proud-family formula takes a back seat to a self-conscious visual style that strains toward the level of myth.

    This is a great, heart felt tale about a family overcoming obstacles, coming together and proving that family comes first. The actors give great performances and this is in my top 5 movies of all time.… Expand

    Beautifully acted and amazing direction, but the movie just seemed a bit...average (albeit on the high end of average). The stars are numerous and at the top of their game and the story is riveting, but Legends of the Fall never establishes the most important part of a movie...a likable character. Where Legends of the Fall fails is the simple act that there is not a single character that the viewer can look at and share sympathy with as each of them are so self righteous or self loathing. Pitt is the only person (along with the minor role of Gordon Tootoosis) that any one can feel for, but even he makes situation so difficult that the viewer can't relate to him or anyone. Legends of the Fall is a good movie but with a likable character it could have been great.… Expand

    This movie does one amazing thing: it sets a new record for cheesy cliches maybe 20 minutes from the end, then doubles the record again. Impressive!
