A legion of Faith
For 3 months, I've been waiting to go see this movie. For 3 months, Isaw high expectations for this movie. After 3 months, I was not, in theleast bit, disappointed.
For those who did not have faith that this movie was good, you probablyeither need to see it again to try to understand the story or you needsome time to figure out what lesson this movie was trying to teach.
This movie, if you think about it closely and actually saw it, is alltied towards one powerful aspect of our everyday lives. This aspect iscalled faith. It actually took me 5 minutes after the movie to figure,okay, the whole thing was about keeping faith in everything we do, nomatter how hopeless it may be.
True, the trailers were very good, but the real opinion needs to comefrom the people who see this movie. What it looked like the plot wasgoing to unfold for the movie in these previews didn't match whatactually happened in it, but I understood why that was.
All in all, this movie will make you think a little, but after it mademe think, I saw everything going well for it.
I have a legion of faith for this movie. Do you?

A great answer to a question we should all fear to ask
Not a movie for anyone of rigid mind, religious or not. This movie putshumanity and Angels in a place we all fear to be, exposed for what wemay be, for all to see. This is not an effects movie (thankfully), theeffects are pretty good, with nice use of sound and imagery, but it isthe underlying story, character developments and superb acting allaround that are telling and significant. Michael in particular is anamazing character both immense and personal.
As a believer myself I question any believer who finds asking thesequestions objectionable. There is almost nothing we give back thatconvince me we are worthy of the gifts we receive. Mercy is given, notowed. A terrifying reality yes, but one the humbled knows.

Interesting story, and a good mix of cast and CGI effects.
In this film we are looking at the usual end of the world setting. Buteven then its always interesting to see what happens next.
From the previews seen from Legion we've already learned that its aboutGod giving up on man and He sends angels to destroy man. So now anangel that does not believe in God's orders goes out to save mankind byprotecting a woman who's baby is the only hope mankind has ofsurviving. The story is very interesting and the cast is perfect forthis movie. Before the movie is over it leaves us on a littlecliffhanger. Its hard to tell if the "extermination" is over or not.But still the battle of Gabriel and Michael is pretty good. Some of thethings that happened are definitely leading up to something big.
So is this the next big action-apocalypse of the decade probably not.But still a pretty good action film that not all but a lot of moviegoers will enjoy. Me on the other hand I'm looking forward to a sequeland the upcoming developments to see that will definitely be enjoyable.

A Must See
I had been waiting to see this movie since I first seen the red bandtrailer on Youtube, and I must say it was worth the wait! Legion keepsyou on the edge of your seat throughout most of the movie and eventhough a lot of content was shown in the trailers there is still a lotmore that wasn't.
The ending was a complete turn around that I can honestly say I didn'texpect.
If you're looking for a movie that's got a good amount of suspense andwill make you jump at times, while making you think about things thenLegion is a must see for you.

A High-octane Apocalyptic Actioneer!
Freshman director Scott Stewart's high-octane apocalyptic actioneer"Legion" suffers from one contrivance after another, but thissuspenseful secular saga conjures up more than enough thrills, chillsand spills to keep audiences entertained with its audacity. A desolateroadside diner in a sprawl of hills in the middle of nowhere serves asthe setting for an end-game showdown between mankind and its Maker.Gladiatorial archangels, demonic humans with a cannibalistic lust forflesh, a mammoth insect swarms and other ominous symbols of Revelationappear in this old school, souped-up, R-rated, gunfire meets fantasysm?rg?sbord. The self-sacrificing Archangel Michael slices off his ownwings for the occasion and opposes a dutiful Gabriel to protect anunborn child and preserve humanity from utter extinction. According toour winged wonder, God wants to grease humanity for the second time.Basically, the Supreme Being can no longer tolerate our B.S. Mind you,this is a sanitized paraphrasing of the profane problem. Like theEgyptians in the Old Testament, God dispatches plagues, demons, andcannibals to polish off mankind. Non-religious audiences will crave thenoisy battle scenes with their fusillades of gun-fire. Most of theviolence staged outside against the aggressors resembles a first-personshooter video game. The adversaries hurl themselves futilely againstthe good guys in a hopeless frontal assault. Often, during lulls in theattacks as our appealing and clearly sympathetic characters let theirguns cool off, they discuss philosophical and moral issues.Nevertheless, "Legion" illustrates the dictum that the meek shallinherit the earth. Stewart and his scenarist Peter Schink refrain fromproselytizing.
"Legion" opens with an unmistakable homage to James Cameron's sci-ficlassic "The Terminator." Archangel Michael falls mysteriously from thenight skies and lands in a dark back alley with blood on his face. Hewhips out a savage-looking knife, cuts off his wings, later sews thewounds shut, stocks up with an arsenal of lethal hardware, tangles withthe L.A.P.D., and careens off in their cruiser. Meanwhile, the actionshifts to the Paradise Falls Diner where the usual gallery of customersand employees huddle, among them the hard-bitten owner Bob Hanson(Dennis Quaid of "Pandorum"), his simple-minded but conscientiousmechanic son Jeep (Lucas Black of "Sling Blade"), gruff but friendlyshort-order cook Percy Walker (Charles S. Dutton of "Alien 3"), anaffluent couple, Sandra (Kate Walsh of "Bewitched") and Howard (JonTenney of "The Stepfather"), whose BMW has broken down, their defiantteen daughter Audrey (Willa Holland of "Garden Party") and anenigmatic, pistol-packing African-American, Kyle Williams (TyreseGibson of "Death Race") who is caught up in a child custody quarrel.The most important character in "Paradise Falls" is a pretty, youngwaitress with the morals of an ally cat, Charlie (Adrianne Palicki of"Seven Mummies"), who has gotten herself in the family way. Ironically,she had toyed with the idea of abortion, but now only wants to hand herchild off to a good family. Bob Hanson knows something about defeat. Heopened a diner in the worst place in the world and hoped that ashopping mall would take root nearby. The mall took root but notnearby, so Bob's roadside restaurant Paradise Falls, (talk abouttheme!), never became the pot of gold that he had envisaged when hedreamed about opening it. His wife left him to raise son and Bobdoesn't want Jeep to waste his time with Charlie.
Unlike God, Michael has never lost his faith in mankind. He has come todefend Charlie and her unborn baby. He brings the firepower that helooted from a warehouse and arms Percy, Kyle, Charlie, and the otherssome pretty, heavy-duty hardware in the form of assault weapons.Initially, Michael has been assigned to slay the baby. When heconfronts Gabriel, they have an argument about obedience. Theobsequious Gabriel wants nothing more than to do the Lord's work, whileMichael prefers to be insubordinate. Director Scott Stewart stageseverything like a Rob Zombie showdown movie. Happily, Stewart and"Gotham Caf?" co-scripter Peter Schink never take themselves or thestoryline seriously. The first time that we meet Bob Hanson, he isslapping around a television monitor, trying to get a decent signal.The old black & white movie that is being broadcast is the JamesStewart classic "It's A Wonderful Life" and the scene where an angel,Clarence, informs Stewart that he is an angel who is trying to earn hiswings. This foreshadowing of Michael and his wingless arrival isappropriately tongue-in-cheek. The first demon that enters the diner isan elderly "Golden Girl" type named Gladys Foster (Jeanette Miller of"The Truman Show") who uses a wheeled walker. The "Legion" trailershows her warning Charlie that the waitress' baby will burn. Gladysturns demonic after acting so sweet to everybody, rips a hole inHoward's neck, scuttles across the ceiling like a human fly, andrecovers after momentarily being stunned by a flying frying pan.
No, "Legion" doesn't qualify as scriptural, despite its Bible-themedmessage of redemption. This movie reminded me of those larger-than-lifeArnold Schwarzenegger science fiction sagas from the 1980s. Everythingabout "Legion" is gloriously low-tech, even down to the hardware.Gabriel and Michael tangle, the former wielding a mace while the latterbrandishes a shotgun. The performances are uniformly excellent and thecast maintains a straight face through this riotous nonsense. LenserJohn Lindley, whose credits include "The Serpent and the Rainbow,""Field of Dreams," and "Pleasantville," creates considerable tensionand suspense with his darkly-lighted cinematography. The surpriseending and the changes that Jeep and Charlie experience along with theadrenalin-fueled shoot-out sequences make "Legion" into entertaininghokum.

Maybe God should have sent another flood instead of his Legion of Angels
(Synopsis) After 2000 years, God has lost his acceptance of humanity,and believes they are no longer worthy of Him. God decides to send hisLegion of Angels to destroy the human race in the final Apocalypse. ButArchangel Michael (Paul Bettany) rebels against God, because hebelieves God is wrong and humanity should have another chance. Beforethe battle begins, Archangel Michael falls to earth on a mission toprotect a young pregnant woman working at a small diner in the desert.Michael assembles a group of diner patrons to help protect Charlie(Adrianne Palicki), the pregnant waitress whose child is about to beborn and is mankind's savior from extinction.
(My Comment) Now this is one abysmal story line, God is feed up withhumanity so he decides to destroy it. He sent a flood the first time,and now God sends his angels to wipe out the entire human race on earthas if everybody was bad. You can see why Archangel Michael rebelledagainst him. At least we don't see God's Legion of Angels flying aroundkilling people as angels. The angels first must take possession of thebodies of weak people, before they begin their killing spree. There aretwo great scenes that take place; the first is the little old spidergranny who attacks people in the diner, and the second is the battlebetween Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel (Kevin Durand). Themoral to this story is, "Gabriel did what God wanted, but Michael didwhat God needed." If you look at the movie as a mindless horror flick,then the movie's CG scary scenes are not too bad, but if you take ittoo seriously, the plot is totally flawed. This is one movie you canmiss. (Screen Gems, Run Time 1:40, Rated R)(4/10)

Don't listen to the critics!!
You know what, screw the critics and the bashers because I thought thisreligious themed horror/thriller was very entertaining, goofy, funnyand at the same time thrilling, this is not a boring flick folks. Sureit's not the brightest movie and is very predictable but saying it'sboring with bad acting and calling it the worst movie of the year assome people are claiming, NO WAY! I've seen way worse movies out therewith bad acting like the other religious themed horror movie House, nowthat one sucked and was a snoozefest. The acting in this film isn't thebest ever but it isn't horrible as people are saying and at least theymake it interesting and fun in a late night grindhouse flick sort ofway and that's fine by me because it didn't bore me but I have to saythat it has a pretty random cast of stars in this movie. This waspretty graphic and violent at times but it wasn't as gory as I thoughtit would be and it was almost more of a action flick than anything butthere was some fun, creepy and wacky scenes here and there. My onecomplaint is that there was too much dialogue and jibber jabbingbetween scenes and not enough demon attacks and it could of had abetter conclusion. Overall it moved at a fast enough pace, was fun andentertaining with a likable yet random cast, had enough action andthrills and at parts was goofy and funny, not one dull moment for meand what else could you want and expect from a movie especially likethis one, definitely not the atrocious, dull movie I was expecting.Overall go in with very low expectations, don't take it seriously andyou might have a good time with this popcorn flick, I know I did.Recommended! More of a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Better than the other made it out to be!
Better movie than the other reviewers made it out to be, but still justa 6.5 or 7/10. F-Bombs galore but no sex, nudity and the blood waspg-13! The R must have been mostly for the poor choice of "killerangles". Got to the action pretty quick, slowed down just as quick. Twopeople in the movie are from the fast and furious movies! Action andspecial effects were good, but not enough of either. Not as good asConstantine but a great choice for the dollar theater once it rollsaround. It was either this or watch 60 year old Denzel Washingtontrying to look fast in Book of Eli...tough choice. I was going to leavea parental rating but IMDb wants you to verify with your AMAZON ACCOUNTor credit card! Come on IMDb, a little too personal! What are youthinking!!

Have Faith. In another movie.
I went in the movie, with high expectations. I came out of the movie,smiling. The movie is enjoyable at the least, but there is definitelynot enough character development, and I feel that the movie was rushed.
I found the movie more of a comedy action than a serious action film.The script is ridiculously funny. I am glad I paid money to see thismovie. Sort of.
I wouldn't say it was a total waste of my time seeing as how it broughtlaughter. As long as you don't go in expecting an amazing scriptedmovie with amazing action sequences. The action is fine for the moviebut could've been done much better imo.
enjoy.

God could never be so blasphemous
The premise of this movie is God has grown tired of man and his wickedways that instead of sending another flood he sent a legion of angelsto destroy mankind.
For even the mediocre religious person out there who even halfwayunderstands the bible, you may find this movie a bit offensive if notjust down right insulting to your theological insight. This coupledwith a very very week plot and an ending that looked so pieced togetherit is best to save your $8 to $10 and go see Avatar again. The CGIeffects are decent, and if you ignore the horrible storyline and justgo for the action scenes then perhaps its worth seeing at the dollarmovies or wait for it to come out on video.
I gave it 4 stars simply for the effects.

and the raspberry award winner is...
I just wanted to say that I have been coming to IMDb.com for years andnever bothered to sign up until now. This being my first comment I justwanna say that this is by far the single worst movie I have ever seen.Not only am I glad that I didn't give the production and studio companymoney to go see this steaming pile of crap, but I hope they go out ofbusiness forever. I hope the Scientology lawyers sue them intonon-existence for making such dribble even though it has nothing to dowith them, but lets face it, they have the best lawyers. I‘m currentlywasted out of my gourd and I still want to pull my brain out and smackit stupid for continuing to watch this all the way through. This isliterally the biggest waste of time I have ever done. I think mycomputer wanted to melt itself rather than have the misery of playingthis. My girl is crying in a corner begging to be put out of her miserynow. My cat just clawed its eyes out and jumped out the window. My fishdrowned itself. And Captain Morgan just left the building. I thought Ishould let you all know this before I go hang myself since I can‘t seemto get the images of this movie out of my head and I've seen leprechaunTWICE!!! Goodbye cruel world. I can see now there‘s nothing left for mein it.
Here's my review....
If you want to go see this movie 1st: Go shoot yourself. 2nd: Shouldyou survive the shooting, consider yourself immortal enough to make itthrough anything. 3rd: Proceed, as a immortal, to try to find oddprophetic ways of killing yourself since #1 didn't work. 4th: Watchmovie. If that doesn't kill you, you are in fact truly immortal. Step5: Institutionalize yourself along with the writers of this crap asthat will be the only thing to save yourself from a eternity of truedamnation.
... oh yeah, the review. um... can we say Shatolla here? What's itabout... no one seems to know... it has nothing to do with the bible orChristianity or anything that makes any kind of sense... period. In theend you will be more confused than a hillbilly at a NASA convention.The only person who could explain this would be Ex - President George wbush using his "special words". I cannot define the stupidity withoutusing abstract dance. $ ^ * % # U ) & ! Did you see that? No? Well letme tell you, it still made more sense that this movie.
I want to take Ronald A. Katz (inventor of "you have reached Microsoft,please press 1 for Russian and 2 for Romania.." guy and Peter Schinkand Scott Stewart (written by) in a cage with a starving wolverine. Orthe Wolverine. Whoever's worse. I ... I.. I....

No Action, Tired Story!
I went to this movie looking for what was advertised, an action movie.What I got was a very slow paced and unoriginal story. A warmed overTerminator meets Dawn of the Dead, and not in a good way. Take all theboring parts of those two movies and you have Legion.
About 30 minutes in, the story just stops and you have a group ofpeople sitting in a dark diner complaining about their lives. Then alittle more action, and Boom! Story stops and nothing happens for 45minutes. The climax has some good action and a few wows but nothing tojustify the previous two hours of boredom.
As I left I thought how the more interesting story is what would happenafter the film ends. So I was left a wanting for a sequel but knowingone wouldn't come because THIS movie was so bad. All and all I think itwould have made a better TV drama or mini-series with the rest of thestory as the show and this as the pilot.

Angel's destroying humanity sets the stage for action of epic proportion
Legion is all about gods right hand man leading an army of angles totake out humanity in a very brutal manner. This can all be found bywatching the trailers. What they don't show is a plot that has someunforeseeable advances and other rather predictable ones. The mindsetfor this film must contain an active engagement with the story and onesability to see it as the director envisioned. This contains some of thebest CGI fighting sequences I have seen. For anyone commenting on theplot they should regard the film in its entirety. The biggest flaw isnot taking advantage of the PG-13 market which would probablysacrificed the films integrity. The plot is not distracting like it wasin transformers two. Though the action scenes alone are well worth theprice of admission.
In the end take this movie head on with an open mind and be preparedfor some angel on angel action! lolz

this movie is amazing.
After reading many of the reviews a lot of others have said about thismovie, I felt the need to express my opinion.
All of you bashing this movie have no capability of correctlyevaluating a film.
Anyone reconsidering viewing this movie after reading all theridiculous reviews should WATCH IT. It is without a doubt an incrediblemovie.
It was most definitely original, and does NOT resemble movies such asthe Terminator or The Matrix. The graphics were extremely well done.The action scenes were edgy and thrilling. The plot was extraordinary.And the cast was well chosen.
And that's all I will say.

A terrific movie with a horrible message
I gotta tell ya, I really liked this movie. I cringed though and sowill you if you have any like or love for God.
By now you might know the story. God is really ticked at humankind andhe will do anything to destroy us, even use the angels of old to do it.One angel (Michael) refuses to do "God's Will" and protects thesurvivors of the holocaust and the chosen child, ala John Connor.
The special effects were spectacular and the acting was almost perfect.I'll give everyone a 8 out of 10. The stand out: Paul Bettany asMichael the Warrior angel. Of course, he takes every role he plays veryseriously.
More about the message, I can't get over it. I don't think there'sanyone that's going to leave the theater and feel very good about whatthey saw.
Horror movies have always done well when they've left God out of it, orquestioning his attitudes or views on His chiefest creation.
Even The Omen places more focus on the plans of the Evil One and lesson God's intentions.
I give this a 7 out of 10 for the above reasons. If the plot had beenmore about the evil of man, anything but making God out to be the badguy it could've have warranted higher. In a lot of ways this is theopposite of Book of Eli, where God protects those who do His will.
Another stand out is Lucas Black. What a joy to see him again. He'sgrown up well (without his accent being affected) and he's very seriousabout the craft of acting. And it shows.
My suggestion: see it.

Entertaining but it ain't no Avatar!
Though it is no Avatar, Legion has some good aspects to it that you mayenjoy. The action is great, the characters are believable and theacting was spot on to the situation. An example of a believablecharacter would certainly be the Archangel Micheal, the Protector OfMan, who still has faith in the human race even though God has lostHis. Though I hate to agree with the critics there is one aspect of themovie I have to agree with them on and that is the story line. Whatsignificance does the child have to save humanity and if he is somesort of Messiah or prophet why would God want to destroy him? Oh well,maybe they'll make a sequel that explains it all in the end, and maybewill be able to see more of Mister Micheal being all bad ass.

Fantastic.
I thought this film was absolutely brilliant.
The characters were great and well acted.
The story line was awesome. It gave an interesting spin on Angels andGod etc.
The Angel Gabriel was acted superbly as well.
Paul Bettany was absolutely fantastic. Everything about him and hischaracter was beautiful :)
If your into this genre of this film then it's a great film, ifnot...don't watch it, simple.
Bad reviews come from those who aren't into films like this. Youshouldn't let them put you off.
I was completely put off by some reviews I read and nearly didn't watchit. I'm very glad I did though :)

Decent film that could have been better
With a very interesting and thought-provoking concept, Legion doesn'tdisappoint for those with moderate to no expectations going in. What'sgood about the film is, number one, the overall story; God loses faithin humanity and sends his angels to exterminate them from the Earth.Not exactly the standard telling of the Apocalypse. A second smart moveby the filmmakers is the use of camera work; a lot of shaking andspinning and low lighting help to make the audience just as confusedand disoriented as the characters, all of whom are relatable andbelievable. The actors really make you feel for them on the screen,make you believe that all of the events going on are real. The CGI wasa bit uneven throughout the movie, sometimes being good, a lot of timesbeing very obvious and rather sloppy. However, some of the camera shotsof the foreground (ex. a string of light bulbs against a grey sky) weresimply gorgeous; photographers dream of getting shots like those. Also,the careful use of high and low angles helped to build tension duringthe movie rather than go for a "jump scare", something sadly not seentoo often in modern movies.
About the only real issue I had with the film was why humanity's fatealways seems to hinge on an unborn child for one reason or another; noreason is really given in Legion, though. Just once I'd like to see amovie like this not focus on a fetus where everyone has to protect theexpectant mother and she has to stand by the wayside. Other than thatglaring plot device, everything else just seemed to fit in place. Thewings on the angels were an equal balance of function and beauty, thereligious overtones weren't preachy given the subject matter, and thecameo from Doug Jones was a nice touch for fans of the versatile actor.The archangel Gabriel is once again handed the "jerk" card(Constantine, The Prophecy), but he's really the only other archangelwhose well-enough known by the general public to fill the role ofMichael's foil. Open endings mostly tend to bother me, but for a filmlike this with so many possibilities it was the wiser move to make; notnecessarily to set up a sequel, but to allow the viewer to finish thestory in whatever way he or she wants.
All in all, Legion is a good movie. Not great, not terrible, but good.It explores the various weaknesses and strengths of humanity throughindividuals that are believable and make us sympathetic to theirplight. The storyline is inventive and smart, pitting God's angelsagainst His own children and the latter's struggle to survive; however,the script could have been handled better. Which side will win out:mortal humans or divine messengers?

A fairly entertaining explosive-filled hybrid of THE TERMINATOR meets DOGMA doomsday actioner
LEGION (2010) **1/2 Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Lucas Black, TyreseGibson, Adrianne Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, Kevin Durand, Jon Tenney,Willa Holland, Kate Walsh, Doug Jones. Quick moving yet decidedlypredictable end-of-the-world supernatural actioner with Bettany asMichael, the angel of God, who is attempting to save mankind from ahorde of battling angels sent forth to wipe out the Earth of itsaforementioned inhabitants. His aide-de-camp? A rag-tag motley crewholed up in a no-man's land desert diner with one caveat: it housed apregnant woman with her unborn child being the last hope for mankind(natch!) A fairly entertaining explosive-filled hybrid of THETERMINATOR meets DOGMA if you will that only falters by its conclusion(in the sense there seems to be huge chunks of plot jettisoned forpyrotechniques and the usual CGI mayhem). (Dir: Scott Stewart)
