Low budget movie but rather done well. Acting was decent and revolved around the Bigfoot legend and on the angle that these things are not shy ape-like creatures and cuddly teddy bears but predators as was described by old Native American folklore. Kept me entertained well enough tonight.

It's ok chief, not fantastic chief but watchable chief. Nearly switched off chief, cause OMG chief... If he had said chief once more.

Here we have the classic Bigfoot movie. Same old script and just some new beautiful nature shots. I only recommend this if you're in quarantine for a week and you do not have anything else to watch. Be ready to hear the word "chief" around 123 times during the whole movie. Not joking.

OMG STOP SAYING "CHIEF!" Absolutely annoying, it is said at nauseum. Furthermore the guy doesnt take a clear shot at the beast in the most opportune times. Also, he shoots a propane tank and it doeant explode, instead he "ignites" it as if it were gasoline (liquid) all over the snow, 10 feet from the tank...Ridiculous! The acting was D acting.

If you love great scenery, watch a nature documentary. If you like bad dialogue, orange blood and beards than this is the movie for you. Also how dare you put Lances name in the credits only to have him show up for 30 seconds right before the movie ends, while delivering one of the cheesiest monologues ever.

I wasn't expecting too much from this movie, but it ended up being better than than it should be. I was entertained from start to finish. For it's budget this film is extremely well done.

The monster scenes are done right, you mostly just get glimpses of the monster which seems like a good choice on the director's part. Sure, occasionally the characters make irrational decisions and some random coincidences occur but otherwise the plotting is tight. This movie ended up bring more fun than I thought it would be be and the people involved did a great job of making the most of their apparently modest budget.

Recommended to fans of bigfoot-esque, monster in the woods type of movies. (If you are someone who only enjoys movies with budgets of $300 million and higher you might want to skip this one.)

I would re watch this just to count the amount of times the scripting disappointed me lol. One wouldn't constantly say "chief" in almost every sentence. The scripting is ridiculous lol. Acting is mediocre but I'll agree with others on here about it visually. Visually it's all right, but the lack of intelligence in the scripting was not enough for me to give any other stars. It's a huge importance to me along with at least some decent acting. All in all its just terrible.

For a low budget bigfoot type movie I was pleasantly surprised. . Acting was good. Story dragged in a couple of spots, but overrall I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end.

Very well done and entertaining. Im sure with a bigger budget it could only get better. Seems like this film is a prequel to some kind of series- I'm excited to see what the series it!!

A visually stunning tale of two men who meet in the most unexpected way and end up creating a bond for all eternity. Chief was looking for a second chance at love and found it while hiking through the forest looking for answers. Then he comes across the lonely hunter man in the woods, and the chemistry is like a spontaneous combustion. They share many of laughs and embraces by the campfires. Chief realizes that everything happens for a reason. And anything goes when you are deep in the darkened forests.

All positive reviews must be from friends or family of the cast/crew. This was a real stinker - boring, goofy, beyond stupid, with really really bad fight scenes at the end. Looked like my 8 year old shot it on his phone. Seemed to have been written by a child as well.....

This is a rather odd movie to review and I review very few. It looks somewhat low budget but started out good (if overlook the girlfriend at the beginning). It was easy to watch, didn't have "well THAT'S stupid!" other than questioning a 'flashlight' and was going along good. Then, towards the latter half of the movie, it gave me (and my GF watching with me) flashbacks to Rambo I & II, Predator, Commando, etc. and there were some blatant errors that anyone knowing hunting/military background would just NOT do! Yes, you'll see it done! No idea if this is a pilot for a show or just for another movie, but with Lance H in it, I'd watch it/them when released since far from ruined but the errors (that can tick off people with a hunting background or even those with just common sense) really knocked my rating down to give it a 5/10

Bigfoot/Sasquatch films have generally not fared well, the worst of them being awful. That made me feel apprehensive somewhat and that the rating was low was no less promising. Was also filled with hope at the same time, with some of the reviews being decent, with passionate defence and passionate dislike, and Lance Henriksen and Adrienne Barbeau have done dependable work throughout their careers.

While 'Big Legend' was far from perfect and not particularly a good film let alone great, it is for me one of the better and more watchable bigfoot/sasquatch films out there. That is not by a marginal degree, the degree is quite significant and a very easy, not bold statement for me to make, having as said above being underwhelmed by a good deal of them. Not just that, 'Big Legend' turned out to be one of my better recent low-budget viewings.

Surprisingly, 'Big Legend' is not too bad visually, quite good on the whole actually. The scenery is atmospheric and easy on the eye and the photography is remarkably slick and the editing cohesive. The sound isn't too obvious and is not over-bearing, providing haunting moments. The direction is assured in the first half.

Acting came off to me as better than average, with Henriksen and Barbeau coming off reliably. Didn't find the characters anywhere near as bland and annoying as most other low-budget recent viewings. There is tension, suspense and creepiness and it is not a dull film, found the first half quite engaging and not too predictable.

It is a shame that the latter stages of 'Big Legend' isn't near as good. The tension and suspense does dissipate, it isn't as taut and some of it is ridiculous beyond belief and heavy in predictability with some of the decision-making becoming silly. The ending is anti-climactic and abrupt, another one of those indicating a sequel, a type of ending that has become increasingly lazy the more times it's used.

The effects are less than special, laughable at worst, the direction seemed to lose interest and direction and the dialogue can too often be cheesy and stilted, apparent even in the first half.

Overall, watchable if very uneven. 5/10 Bethany Cox

Basically this is an easy watchable film for any film fan. The acting in the first 10 minutes, was good enough to be in any A list film. It had a fair few MINOR flaws, but not ONE of these ruined the film for me. I only had to suspend my belief a few times to really enjoy this movie For what it was. Solid 6.7 for me, worth a watch for true movie and bigfoot fans.

The opening for me was pretty powerful. The viewer gets a sense of how close the bond is between the couple. Usually this sort of thing is done w/ a shallow sex scene-Big Legend communicates it in a more meaningful manner.

Cinematography was good, acting was done well. The hand to hand fight scenes were not that believable. Injury special effects were realistic. The gun sounds were lame. The Squatch howls sounded ferocious. I felt Squatch would of done more damage from a distance instead of getting in for some mano a mano.

All in all a 'clean' Squatch horror flick that I enjoyed and more importantly, my wife did not mind watching with me.

If you like creature flicks, this would definitely entertain you and present you with something new. Given, it's not a Hollywood flick, but they do a damn good job.

This is a simple, honest, straightforward movie, as 1980's as they get. Which is precisely why it's such a breath of fresh air compared to all the product placement-laden, propaganda-ridden CGI wonders of today. Editing and voiceovers could have been better at times, but unless you're a desperate DC/Marvel fanboi, you are going to like this movie. Looking forward to the follow-up.

Right, well another movie about bigfoot, sure why not... It's not like there is a bunch of them around already. Wait, what? There is? Are you sure? Oh, well...

Given the premise of "Big Legend" then I still opted to sit down and watch it. Solely for one thing and one thing alone. No, not because of it being bigfoot. But because Lance Henriksen was in the movie. And even brandished on the front of the cover. Imagine my surprise when I came to realize that he wasn't even in the movie for a whole 5 minutes.

But moving on... Despite that, then there was actually something that worked quite well in favor of the movie. No, not the fact that it was about hunting bigfoot. But, for me, it was the whole situation of being out in the wilderness facing an elusive creature or being that should not really be existing. And finding yourself to be stalked and not playing on your homefield.

And also the performances of both Kevin Makely and Todd A. Robinson, because they really carried the movie quite well. And rightfully so, because they were essentially the entire cast for 90% of the entire movie. So they had additional weight on their shoulders, but they both came through with flying colors. Of course, Lance Henriksen is always a welcomed face (and voice) to any movie, just a shame that his role in this movie was such a small one... But wait, the end of the movie actually hints at there being a sequel in the future - could be interesting enough.

As for the effects in "Big Legend", well I will say that this hardly was a movie that relied on spectacular CGI and special effects to blow away the audience. There was a bit of practical effects throughout the movie, and they were done quite nicely and were realistic. The creature design for the bigfoot, however. Well, I will be gracious enough and leave it at let's just say that I was not impressed and had expected a bit more bestial design.

However, all in all then "Big Legend" actually turned out to be an entertaining movie.

D class, horrible, pathetic, waste of time movie. It seems like some kid made a ridiculous school project with his mobile. Horrible from the start till the very end. IMDB should introduce a minus ranking and this one would in it. Dont waste your time on watching. Save your self.
