Purely Joyful Movie!

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

From my favorite movies..

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Legion is a story based on humanity's last days of survival as they are getting taken over by an angry God. The whole film is a story about stealing a pregnant woman's child; as he is humanities last chance of survival.I thought this film was pretty good. Again, a lot of cool action sequences and the acting was very good between every character. I must give credit to the character of Michael who really is a shining beacon of light in this film, very well acted and a fantastic character.There are scenes in this that were incredibly funny. The old lady in the diner for example; that scene was epic. It was just something that you didn't expect from an innocent old woman, which was something i really liked; the surprises in the movie.More or less, the only downside in my opinion was the boring set designs. It was just a desert, sand and literally only 1 building throughout the entire movie. There were often a lot of long shots of a desert, which were very often repeated. It was boring to see the same design over and over again.Overall this film is good. Especially the characters, plot and the action sequences. I was just a bit disappointing with the set design as it was just 1 design throughout the whole movie (first 10 minutes excluded). But nevertheless, this is a great horror film and i really recommend it :) .

This isn't the great art, but there are guilty pleasures aplenty in this ambitious take on the rebel angels theme. Who hasn't wondered if God has just given up on humanity? Fortunately, humanity has Paul Bettany as rebel angel Michael and he is not given up on humanity, but is burning with glorious purpose. In this movie it's convincing some folks in a run-down diner that all he movie has consistently good performances by all the cast. Fun ride.

Legion (2010) is a film that was meet with overwhelmingly negative feedback from critics, it was called a "big disappointment" by many. And I can see how the critics thought it was really bad, because there are elements to this film that just aren't good, but the movie as a whole is not god awful like many have suggested. One of the things that does not work in the movie is Lucas Blacks performance, it is very wooden and fake. I haven't really seen him in much, but dear god I hope his acting was better in his other films. Another thing that I thought was weak and underwhelming was Paul Bettany's acting at times. His performance wasn't bad throughout, but there are a few scenes where you just can't take him seriously. Now, for some things that worked. I liked Dennis Quaid, I thought he did a very nice job with his role, and the other actors did well also. The action sequences are constructed well, they're exciting and engaging to watch. The special effects are doable, definitely not the best, but they do the job alright. The pacing is choppy sometimes, going from deep talks between characters to shoot em up action scenes. Overall, I don't really recommend Legion. There are better movies in this genre to be watched. It was alright, nothing too special. 6/10.

(45%) A dissatisfying miss-mash of different, better films manhandled together to make a watchable, yet totally forgettable experience. Talented, and very wasted Paul Bettany sort of stars in this, though after his brief appearance early on he soon has to make up lost ground which is a feat his character, despite his big wings and equally big guns, has no ability to do. This has a nasty habit of heating up quite nicely only be let down by sluggish pacing and an overly long run time. There's a scene that by the end amounts to the best part of the film which features a freaky old woman that as it happens is more funny than scary, and if the film had carried on at that pace then this could have been a halfway good watch, but sadly no, as the rest of the film is hardly worth watching. If you can see this for nothing then maybe give it a go, otherwise don't bother.
