Big Legend (2018)
5/10
Worth seeing, still a disappointment.
27 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Pros:
  • amazing first act, great camera work, production value and acting. As good as any big budget film.
  • beautiful outdoor shots.
  • low budget 'quatch mercifully kept off the camera most of the time.


Cons:
  • the guy turns out not to be a great actor. He did well expressing love for his fiancé, but when he is supposed to look terrified, or angry, or exhausted... he is pretty well expressionless. Nothing a few acting lessons couldn't clear up.
  • This is the worst part - I have to believe a 12 year army Ranger trips on his face numerous times just when it matters to NOT do that. I understand we need plot devices for him not just shooting the 'quatch in the face and ending them movie, but then WHY MAKE HIM AN ARMY RANGER?
  • this is a guy tough enough to stitch up his own wounds with a pin, but runs like a little girl when he is 15 feet from the 'quatch and armed with a fully loaded .45 magnum. This was too much for me.


I would have given this a 7 if not for the unbelievability of the main guy's actions.

Writer, you should have made him just a big, strong ex football player that owns a gun but never really used it. And then you could have him holding his own against the 'quatch briefly because he is so physically strong.
