Strictly average movie

Some things I liked some I did not.

Brilliant and touching

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Great acting but the morality of one of the brothers broke my heart so I got in such a bad mood from watching it.

Legends of the fall is now probably known for bringing Brad Pitt into the mainstream but it is a grand sweeping epic with great performances, a touching story and some stunning natural visuals. Edward Zwick is his usual self and the vast panoramic sceneries have become his playground. This is a good early 90s family film that will transport you back to innocent days.

One of the movies which is not so famous, however is one of the most beautiful portrayal of the old America, the politics, nepotism, hatred towards lesser(as called) races-you'll see all of these. Also the story's take on war and politics is novel to any American movie-it tries to uncover truth using beauty and plainness

Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerLegends of the Fall depicts a somber and sorrowful story of loss and a broken family. It deals with the loss of a son, a brother, and a husband. It has some extremely touching and powerful moments. The characters are all unique and have different strengths and weaknesses that further the story. The story is graphic and the ending is heartfelt and genuine. The ending truly made the movie because turns from heartfelt to somber in a matter of moments. The end credits music really helps the movie set in and makes you think about the bond of family.The acting is very good. Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt both deliver powerhouse performances. They both convey so much emotion and Brad Pitt really surprised me with this performance. Aidan Quinn, Julia Ormond, Henry Thomas, Karina Lombard, Tantoo Cardinal, and Gordon Tootoosis all perform very well.The pacing is very slow and the runtime is overly long.Pros: Emotional and sorrowful story, great ending, good acting, amazing performances by Anthony Hopkins and Brad Pitt, good cinematography, and a good use of musicCons: Very slow pacing, an overly long runtime, and the film could have been edited down by a lotOverall Rating: 8.1
