The movie “Legendary” tells the story of Sharon Chetley (actress Patricia Clarkson), Calvin Chetley (Devon Graye), and Mike Chetley (John Cena).

In “Legendary,” the Chetleys are torn apart after the death of Mac Chetley, the father. Ten years after the tragedy, Cal wants to join a wrestling team. He hopes it will help reunite his family. He hopes his brother, Mike, will train him to be a great wrestler. Mike was a star wrestler growing up and was one of the greatest high school wrestlers ever. He gave up the sport after his father passed away and moved away from his family.

We really enjoyed the story and were surprised at times and didn’t expect certain things to happen. There was a lot of excitement that would keep you on the edge of your seat. At times, the movie was sad, but there was a lot of comic relief to even it out. You might think the story would go a different way, but the ending taught a great moral.

This movie is about an underdog earning his rightful place as a good wrestler. We think a person who wrestles or is interested in wrestling would like this movie.

“Legendary” has all types of genres in the story line. At one point, it is an action movie, and at some moments, scenes are tragic. Then, some parts make you laugh, and some parts are romantic. Almost anyone would find this movie interesting.

We would rate “Legendary” 41/2 stars out of 5. You could compare the movie with others such as the “Karate Kid” and “Rudy,” both about an underdog facing struggles to get to the top. “Legendary” is an exciting all-around movie that almost anyone would find interesting.

However, we advise kids younger than 11 to have someone watch it beforehand and approve it for them. “Legendary” will always have you feeling different emotions and will satisfy your craving for a good movie.
