Legion Reviews

An utterly ludicrous entry in the biblical-horror subgenre.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Why spend your money watching an extended trailer?

I really enjoyed this stupid movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

Heaven help these fallen angels.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5

Sometimes it's a science fiction film, sometimes a melodramatic thriller steeped in religion, and sometimes just a horror film with arachnid demons, and simpleton angels who possess humans for reasons never quite explained...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

A few minutes shorter, and an ending that doesn't outright quote the beginning of the movie, and we might have had something here.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

...a disappointingly uneven and thoroughly pointless horror effort...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

"It's a labored, darkly photographed, cringingly acted hodgepodge of fanciful geek-bait genre ideas and hideous connect-the-dots scripting. Who knew the end of the world could be such a screaming bore."

Full Review | Original Score: D

Inane dialogue, a bad, derivative storyline and evil angels make up this overblown, poor-man's would-be Terminator in which an exploding upside-down crucified man is one of the low points. Just when you think the film couldn't get any worse, it does.

It's up to the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany) to save the human race - or at least the denizens of a desert diner - after a disappointed God loses his temper and sets off the Apocalypse.

Full Review | Original Score: 67/100

While entertaining--and you do get the Angel Explodo--it does stretch its silliness factor just a bit much.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Ah well. At least we know Paul Bettany's mortgage is covered.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

Strangers thrown together by fate are trapped inside an isolated diner as zombies converge outside %u2014 an army sent by God to clean out humankind.

Full Review

Oh, what a wacky bunch of stereotypes in this diner! There's a rich guy, a black person and even Dennis Quaid!

Full Review

In the end, you're left wondering why the Almighty has so much trouble disposing of a small group hiding out in a diner and why Paul Bettany signed up for such a pointless venture in the first place.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Legion has the audacity to set itself up for sequels without giving the audience enough compelling reason to care about this first installment.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4

Could have been T2 with seraphs, or Assault On Precinct 13 crossed with Revelations. Instead, it's a lazy genre bore. Doesn't bode well for Priest, the next Stewart/Bettany film in the pipeline.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Celestial tosh of less than Biblical proportions.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

The sort of confused mess liable to provoke an apocalyptic cull of humanity by any rational supreme being with an interest in cinema.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Bettany's job: rescuing the modern Mary, a skanky waitress, and saving her unborn child. Our job: holding back the laughter.
