LEGENDARY (Theatrical Release China 2013)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì

Legendary—simple horror flick—manages to capture some interest in the unknown but fails to scare or deliver that creepy feeling that defines an outstanding horror film. Dolph Lundgren’s part seems a bit ‘cheesy’ at times and allows Scott Adkins to steal many of the movie’s scenes while supporting cast seem to be present merely to fill space rather than actually move the story along. The movie works at the teen/adult share level.
