Religion induced idiocy.
This film isn't bad, it's completely and utterly stupid.
And that's far, far worse.

I think Legion is more of an interesting film, rather than a success. It is unfortunate, because there is the workings of a really great film here.
Firstly, this is the best visualisation of angels that I have ever seen on film, the wings blend seamlessly with the human body and I was very impressed.
However, this film falls down with its confusing sub-plots, needless development of bit characters, and emphasis on dialogue over action. This is not to say that I'm a popcorn blockbuster-action junkie, over talking... it's just that the dialogue is not deserved here. Mainly due to the fact that it doesn't lead anywhere, it isn't that vital and it's stuff we've already seen before.

A decent little sci-fi thriller. Plenty of action and special FX and a decent cast. The bulk of the film is set in one location, giving it a bit of a John Carpenter feel, and Paul Bettany's battle-hardened angel, "Michael" is a rather cool customer who takes plenty of opportunities to whoop some evil-angel ass. I especially liked the visuals, the look and feel of the film. It's not amazing, but it delivered what I expected so I'm happy.

Worst sequel to "Wimbledon" ever.

Pretty much crap throughout. That freaky thing from the trailer where the old woman gets a demon face and scrambles up to the ceiling? Yeah, that's all that Legion had going for it. Too bad.

Too much exposition and not enough ice cream men or foul mouthed demonic old ladies.

Entretenida y con argumento simple pero directo: Dios se ha cansado de la gilipollez de la humanidad asi que envía a sus ángeles a exterminarla... claro que siempre habrá un protector y alguien al que proteger.
Buenos efectos especiales, suficientes para lo que es la pelicula.

I'm not exactly sure why I chose to watch Legion, but it probably has something to do with me sucking at life and being a glutton for punishment. Anyway, as expected, Legion's pretty laughable. When I've imagined fights between the Angels Gabriel and Michael, I've always pictured them using machine guns and a giant death mace. Parts were entertaining, but as a whole the film was a mess. I don't know what else I was expecting, but I guess Legion passed the time. Is this what my life's coming to? Spending my Saturday nights watching Legion?

This could have been so much better, but story itself, directing and most of the actors were weak. Strong link, in my opinion, was Paul Bettany.
