Critics Consensus

Despite a solid cast and intermittent thrills, Legion suffers from a curiously languid pace, confused plot, and an excess of dialogue.

Swallowed up by its effort to be a film of multiple genres. The only genre it earns a place in is comedy; it achieves an amount of unwarranted laughs of biblical proportions.

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

A forgettable entry for a ton of actors who went on to do better films. The few bright spots never truly get to shine because 'Legion' is such a mess of a movie.

A whole series of familiar tropes wrapped up in a cliché-ridden bow.

We've seen it already and is called The Terminator. But this time with angels with no plot whatsoever and the possessed demons look alike doesn't look scary and of course there's two fast and the furious cast in it.

I get it. This isn’t 90% rotten tomatoes material or even popcorn meter but it’s actually a pretty good movie! Some unique themes, a bit religious but actually religion ala Constantine. Good demon killing action. That I can handle. It’s a good ride!

The concept was good, but the film itself remains very mediocre; there is a major lull right in the middle that drags things out and kills whatever tension the opening managed to build. So much more could have been done with this premise. Ultimately, what is supposed to be the wrath of God raining down on humanity turns into a rather uninspired, emotionless vampire movie. That said, the film has achieved a certain cult status thanks to a few scenes that frequently circulate online, but aside from those moments, it feels hollow. Even the blaring trumpets, meant to herald something colossal, end up feeling like a damp squib. A real shame.
