Gee Film Reviews - Legion - Quick Movie Review

The opening words of Legion were “God is sick of all of the “B***S***.” This was the same way I felt from the opening, sick. It’s horribleness was apparent from the first tidbit of dialogue to the ending, when the same exact opening line was repeated. Legion was, sadly, the first movie of 2010 that I “experienced”. This movie doesn’t deserve analysis, because it has as much developed plot as a child’s story book. It’s basically the second coming of the flood in “Noah’s Ark,” but instead this time, God sends his own angels to wipe out civilization. Legion is filled with so many unanswered questions (Why the extermination? “Tired of all of the BS” is not a good enough explanation for the wipe out of humanity. Why does Gabriel have to take his wings off?) and so many plotholes that I was in my seat laughing. The acting was as good as a high school drama class, with lackluster performances from mostly all newcomers. The only aspect of the movie that was redeeming were the special effects. Although they represent modern technology, the effects are the epitome of stupidity, from the four-legged spider Ice Cream Man, to multiple “angels” crawling up the ceiling. Overall, the movie is ridiculous, it has no qualities that are worth a watch. Unless you like ridiculing bad movies, Legion is a horrible film. Grade: F
