Some issues, great performances

Rating: 7/10 (28 March 2020)

I'd have to agree with most reviews here. Tom Hardy delivered an excellent performance! Actually all the acting, costumes and cinematography was great. Where the film failed in my eyes, was the pacing. I do love a slow paced movie or series, but Legend couldn't be placed anywhere on the spectrum. Some parts are dragged out and you can't help but loose interest, other times it takes huge time jumps leaving you wondering what the hell actually happened.
I guess it would have worked great as a series. There they could've dove deeper into the personalities and the side stories without making a mess or leaving the viewer bored.
I can't say anything about the accuracy of the story as I've never heard of the Kray family before watching the movie...
All in all (but mostly for Hardys amazing portrayal) I give it a 7/10. In an other format or with better pacing it would be a movie I really love.
