It gets bogged down way too much in the story, and skimps on the good ol’ limb ripping Bigfoot action. The biggest issue I had with Big Legend was the pacing. Take a sip every time someone says chief, a whole shot every time you get confused, and chug when you wish something interesting was happening. So Eli is just the, “Hunter Guy,” and he calls Tyler, “Chief.” That is until Tyler starts calling Eli “Chief,” making writing this whole review very confusing. The characters never even introduce themselves. While we get an introduction for Tyler, Natalie (Tyler’s girlfriend), and even Tyler’s psychiatric doctor, Eli kind of just shows up. After so many years of catching big game, a glimpse of Bigfoot was to be his ultimate prize. Eli is the most knowledgeable character on the big man himself, but has never actually seen the cryptid critter. Filling this role is Bigfoot hunter Eli Verunde, played by Todd A. It’s not really a mythical monster movie if you don’t eventually team up with that special someone who knows more than the main character. I was rooting for Tyler, and by the end I was hoping he didn’t wind up as Bigfoot turds.
It isn’t Oscar level screenwriting, but it did its job.
There aren’t that many characters in Big Legend, so most of them just set up the plot and move us along to Tyler’s final confrontation Bigfoot. Makely does a credible job carrying the movie during the dull moments of stalking Bigfoot country. Kevin Makely plays Tyler Laird, a normal man whose life is changed by Bigfoot eating his girlfriend. Turns out, it’s less “lost in the woods” and more “eaten by sasquatch.” He teams up with a local hunter (Robinson), who has his sights set on catching a glimpse of the beast within the forest. Directed by Justin Lee, Big Legend is the story of an army ranger (Makely) on a mission to uncover the truth of his girlfriend’s (Spiro) disappearance. But we are not here to discuss my childhood trauma, we are here to talk about one of these legends. It was more like watching never ending documentaries on Bigfoot and extraterrestrial life. I’m not saying we went on Bigfoot expeditions. My dad believes in all that stuff: aliens, ghosts, the illuminati, Bigfoot. I’m not really much of a Bigfoot enthusiast.
