Well, there is *one* good thing about this film...

Rating: 3/10 (13 October 1999)

What good things do I have to say about "Legends of the Fall"? Let's see Let me think. Ah! Great cinematography! Well, sorry, that's about it, because apart from the cinematography everything in this film (apart from Henry Thomas and maybe Brad Pitt) is bad. The script, the direction, the acting It's like a TV soap that goes on forever, and it is *so* predictable. We pretty much know where the film is going when we see Julia Ormond for the first time. Now, this isn't something that I like to say. I really wanted to like this film as my favourite film of all time ("Glory") is directed by this film's director (Edward Zwick). To know that the same man who made the masterpiece "Glory" made this film is almost physically painful.
Well, like I said; great cinematography, Henry Thomas does a good job and I must say that Brad Pitt is doing fine. That means that this film is not total trash, and I have not yet decided whether I will give this film a 3 or a 4 out of 10. I think I have to see it again to be sure (even though I certainly want to avoid that as long as possible).
