Decent, but could have been so much better

Rating: 6/10 (6 July 2016)

This is an interesting and enjoyable enough film but I can't help but feel a little disappointed. It didn't fully meet my expectations. A lot of questions were left unanswered and the movie as a whole feels like it is missing something.
A lot of the humour wasn't necessary or appropriate, in fact I thought it somewhat tainted the movie and the story it was supposed to be telling. The violence is minimal - surprising for a gangster movie but not necessarily a bad thing, though I personally would have liked a bit more action.
All in all, 'Legend' is a decent enough film and Tom Hardy is convincing as the Krays, but I was largely underwhelmed. There is nothing special about this movie and I will probably soon forget about it.
