Legend only missing one piece to be great; NO SCRIPT!

Rating: 4/10 (19 December 2007)

When I love a movie with good acting, directing, special effects, emotion, intensity, where-is-it-going attitude, I cannot remember ever giving it such a low rating. A good movie is one you want to see again. This one will make you ask the question, "Why didn't someone tell me it lacked a script?"
I was told the first 20 minutes would cause me to be asking what is going on, and what I saw was a continuing series of scenes which were adding very little to the story. I was asking more that what. I wanted to know if Will Smith actually read the script before he signed on. And why did he say yes? He likes monologues?
This movie is a story which could be told in about 10 minutes. Would not make a decent half-hour TV show complete with 9 minutes of commercials.
So, if you see it, you will be watching a great number of repetitious scenes, which include extended series of monotonous everyday action. I would only recommend a person to view it to see how a potential becomes so undeveloped. It has one moral to it. Pay $7 to find out what you already know.
