At first, the picture plays like East of Eden with a bonus brother; it gets sillier as it goes.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The actors fit their roles exceptionally well, but Zwick rarely allows them the kinds of crucial, intimate moments that establish how the characters feel about each other.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
Just when it starts to seem as if Legends might just turn into a pretty good movie, along comes some tired, soap-opera plot device.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Check your cynicism at the door, and just revel in its enormity.

There's a vast psychodrama being played out on the Ludlow ranch, battles between generations, philosophies, races and sexes. And the landscapes, photographed by John Toll, majestically backdrop all the personal and cultural furies.
