Legion (2010)

Touches You

Thanks for the memories!

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I simply just don't get it. I don't. Why does this film even exist? What's its purpose? What's its message? Where is its audience!? Regardless of my religious beliefs or any pretext surrounding Christianity, there's more reason to believe in God then there is to "have faith" in this atrocity. An angel has been sent to down to protect a diner full of people, including a pregnant woman, as he disagrees with God's plan to wipe out humanity. So he/she/it chooses to send angels to destroy humanity instead of flooding, nuking or imploding the world. He has lost faith that much, that he/she/it couldn't be bothered to do it themselves? Surely, suuuurely there are more methodical ways to kill us. Why has he/she/it lost faith in us anyway? Rise in terrorism? Overpopulation? Global warming? There was no reasoning for this catastrophic decision. And so, ultimately, the film makes no sense and holds no purpose. There are only three good scenes: crazy old woman climbing the ceiling and stating "your baby will burn", an elongated ice cream van driver and the fight between Michael and Gabriel. That's it. Nothing else is redeemable and worth your time. The acting, ohhhh the acting. Bettany must've had some religious epiphany or some weird experience, for he also starred in 'Priest' a year later, so I can only assume it was his mid-life crisis. He was fine. Everyone else? No. Black should be drifting in Tokyo. Gibson shouldn't be in films. Quaid doesn't even care. The rest of the cast were just B-list stars trying to give their all to a lacklustre screenplay which contains no character development whatsoever. These characters are lifeless. You don't care about their outcome, heck I wanted the angels to decimate the entire diner so the film could end. The fact it was all set in one location may seem inspired, but the horrific use of CGI (I mean seriously...) negated any "genius" environmental set pieces. Urgh, I'm done. So pick up your Bible, and throw it at the TV if this film is on. Amen.

This is another apocalypse movies with humans tasting a little of God's anger! When I heard about the apocalypse, I was expecting some biblical references like the seven seals or the horsemans... you only have two: the plague and Noe's ark. The rest of the movie is killing "people". In the end, I wasn't disapointed and enjoied the movie.

I like the fact that the movie at least says that you shouldn't be simply obeying God's every command but deciding for yourself whats right and whats wrong but it's still a bit cringe-y. Constantine was a fun movie but this lacked a good screenplay - the concept, however, is something a good film-maker could do much better with.

(no spoilers)A good idea for a movie but the storyline is boring, they could make it better. I only watched it to the end because of "Dominion". I am not satisfied with character introduction and unfinished story about them. At the very beginning Michael was showed like he was in Jeeps dream. there is a lot of mistakes, and storyline need to contain more action and not just boring conversations between characters in the old inn. They should film it on more locations, tell more about Michael(wings in first plan), add more of everything... If you have not watched Dominion it is hard to understand this movie, and Dominion was made from this, so it is possible to make something good.. To sum up, I would never recommend you to watch this mark, 3 of 10.
