If there is going to be an apocalypse, I just pray it happens at the beginning of January to save me from the misery of watching the horrifically bad films that are notoriously released this month. Legion is no exception to this rule.
Did anyone else see this film? I can't say I encourage it.

Legion smells
Legion smells like terminator but with angels.
Sheesh, how could it be any
Sheesh, how could it be any worse with plot thats about killing angels?
killing angels?
So are you saying killing angels or killer angels? I suppose there are both in this one. ;)
I usually dig angel movies even when they don't line up with what I believe. But God's normally "good" angels invading human bodies and becoming demons that cuss and kill like zombie vampires...well, I'm out on that. It just doesn't make sense either, when the purpose is to wipe out humanity. Seems like God would have much simpler ways of doing that.
I haven't seen it but either

Six? Six? Six?!
Sorry, is that Paul Bettany with a six pack? Well, there goes my suspension of disbelief! I might watch this on DVD - as mindless entertainment. The guy with the funny jaw - is that Andy Murray?

Ditto Red's Review
Yep... pretty much word for word what Tina said. I just got back from seeing this with a group of friends, and when it was over we wavered between speechlessness and laughter... this film was just ridiculous. I also agree that Paul Bettany was the only thing that had a glimmer of quality. I already liked him as an actor, but his performance - and endurance - in this film made me like him more. I guess I agree that there were a few good key effects, but it was hard to appreciate them with everything else being so awful. The acting was atrocious; even Dennis Quaid - who I wouldn't call phenomenal in the first place, but at the very least he's a veteran - couldnt' do much with what he was given, but some of the others were just bad. Lucas Black, for example - why does he keep getting roles? The story had so many holes it was near impossible to suspend disbelief. I can't believe that screenplay passed muster with anyone - or did it go wrong in the editing room?
As a genre I like supernatural movies (Constantine, Gabriel, The Order, Seventh Sign, etc). Most of them are pretty much "B" level movies, but usually I don't really mind. However, this one almost doesn't deserve to be in the genre. They decided to turn every supernatural concept that would provide a springboard for the story on its head, which ended up not being clever or innovative - it just meant that the story had no underpinnings to speak of. Oh, I could go on and on, but it's really not worth more time or bandwidth.
At least we had some good laughs picking it apart afterward - and I'm not usually even that cynical.
