My mainreaction toall of this: The realization of just how much tribal fandom mentality has invaded cinematic discourse. In so many cases, when there is a wide disparity between a film’s audience and critic scores that gap can be explained by fans, who care less about an individual title and more about what that title represents totheir broader fandom — whetherthey are fans ofa beloved intellectual property or a controversial musician or a divisive political figure. Conversely, many fans automatically dismiss any critical opinion, no matter how nuanced or informed or widespread among dozens or hundreds of writers, assomething formedin pernicious bad faith becauseit doesnot come from a “true” fan.

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 42
Anyone who isn’t a Ridley Scott completist, a Tom Cruise completist, or an ’80s kid obsessed with weird fantasy stuff probably has not yet encountered Scott’s dark fantasy movie Legend, which stars Tim Curry as the demonic Lord of Darkness who wants to shadow the world in eternal night, and Cruise as Jack, a forest-dwelling peasant and pure being charged with saving the world.
Its extensive prosthetic makeup and costuming, special effects and set design, and Tangerine Dream score elevate it beyond a simple retro fantasy film, and though audiences at the time didn’t know what to make of it, it’s gained a strong cult following in the decades since.
