Tubi Thursday: Legendary (2013)

 For a Film with this Title, it sure is not talked about or remembered that much.

To be clear, this is not the John Cena Film.  This is the other...

A group of Hunters try to catch a giant bear, but one of the younger members is killed.

The conflict is that Lundgren wants to kill and mount the Animals, why Adkins wants to preserve them.
Some time later, the pair end up in China (who paid for this Film) to track down a new creature.

What a shock- Lundgren is there too.

Mind you, he's only in the Film for like 20 minutes tops, as well.
They discover that is a strange, over-sized lizard.  That's probably why they sometimes bill this one as 'Legend of the Dragon.'

Neat title...for a different Film.
Can they avoid being killed by the Lizard and also stop it from being killed?

Are you disappointed to find out that the Monster is a giant Gecko?
Is there a Film that will finally make Scott Adkins into a Star?

To find out the answer to some of those questions, stream the Film.
Legendary is alright, but nothing more.  It doesn't really do anything wrong.  It also doesn't do anything to really stand out or be special.

At best, it's a decent Indiana Jones riff with giant Animals in place of Artifacts. 
At worst, its extremely-stock in every way.

They have all of the usual types of people- the obvious Bad Guy, obvious Good Guy, Future Love Interest, Tech Guy, Rich Guy, etc.- and we get the usual outcomes.  Nothing happens that you won't predict from the First Act.

If you want to watch a Film, it is one.  This shot, however, is not from the Film, despite IMDB listing it as such...
A decent enough Film that is honestly kind of just there.  Like many Films, it's fine...but has nothing extra or special about it to stand out in any way.
