Protraph Lack of good storyline.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

gemandeye1 I have enjoyed most if not all of Scott Adkins movies thus far except for this one. Dolph Lundgren is always hit and miss with his movies, more misses IMO. However, Adkins has reinvigorated the "American" martial arts audience and does it with both extreme seriousness and a little added tongue in cheek (something he may have borrowed from his pal and often co-star Jan Claude Van Damme). But in Legendary he seems so out of place, Not to say an actor should be stereotyped but be careful on the roles he chooses. The script was awful. The supposed humor was not funny and felt forced. Even Adkins smiles appeared fake. Lundgren almost looked Oscar worthy next to him, and I nearly choke saying that. The special effects were terrible. Like a cross between a teenager trying out some CGI and a guy throwing on a costume he found in the attic and pieced together. You can skip this one unless you just want to say you watched every Adkins or Lundgren movie. No other reason I can see to sit through it.

deacon_blues-3 Really cheesy, bad CGI-supported, good guy/bad guy flick. Basically SyFy channel type schlock. Don't waste your time or electricity on this silly thing. The creature doesn't even eat meat, she' just defending her nest from evil capitalists who want to develop her habitat. What a wimpy excuse for a creature flick! The fast swipe creature scenes keep the actual appearance of the CGI monster from being completely laughable until late in the film, but it still looks like an over-grown gecko. Lundgren portrays the cut-out drunken egoist who just wants to shoot everything that moves for booze money. BTW: The years have been none too kind to old Dolph Lundgren, who has become a scrawny shadow of his former self. Combine this with his lack of acting ability and the amateur level of the rest of the cast, and you have one big no-fly zone!

Voyou Nobodysbusiness I think the main problem of this movie's story is that it tries a serious/scientific approach, but without the science. First we wonder why the Chinese authorities would use Americans to track a strange animal in China; two teams btw, one of them freely running around with big guns. Then the scientists use about as much science and equipment as Indiana Jones (the famous archaeologist who kept destroying ancient sites to grab one valued object,) but without the fun. They fearlessly keep camping on the beach near a man-eating amphibian creature, trespass on guarded industrial sites, crime scenes or autopsy labs, and in fact hunt the creature with the same methods as in any B monster flick.Add the fact that the creature looks ridiculous, caves look more fake than in anything since the 1950s, and the budget didn't allow for a director of photography, it seems.The good part is that the film is not boring, mostly thanks to a cast of competent actors and likable good guys (the bad guys being rather bland.) In the end, Legendary feels like the pilot of a cheap TV series. Re-watch Korea's "The Host", instead, or wait for its sequel.

william10-861-213574 just watched this movie and one thing i don't really understand.How would any animal leave a piece of its tooth in its prey ??why would the director or any man with some common sense overlook this obvious error ?I appreciate Chinese being spoken in the movie as it's my mother tone but that doesn't necessarily mean they would be THAT that interesting to all the other viewers, especially when the words are not that funny. p.s. that "dragon" thing they call in the movie looked like a over- sized lizard to me.good
