Good fun !… Expand

this film is not well-written, artful, or subtle, but it is completely ridiculous, and violent, and that's why i like it, sometimes, you just need to turn off your brain and enjoy something simple, this is it.

legion is incredibly entertaining, sure, it doesn't have much in the way of plot, character development, contemporary relevance, or incite into the universe, but as a crazy, simple supernatural shoot em up, it works absolutely fine -legion is incredibly entertaining, sure, it doesn't have much in the way of plot, character development, contemporary relevance, or incite into the universe, but as a crazy, simple supernatural shoot em up, it works absolutely fine - samarathenymph xoxo… Expand

I thought it had a strong cast I thought Dennis Quaid was great in it, I didn't think I would like Paul Bettany as the leading star as the angel but I was wrong and liked him to. I didn't think this movie was to slow at all like I thought it had a strong cast I thought Dennis Quaid was great in it, I didn't think I would like Paul Bettany as the leading star as the angel but I was wrong and liked him to. I didn't think this movie was to slow at all like most people do for some reason. It has a lot of action and a lot of horror all and all the only thing is I think the director could've found a better leading angel but all and all I enjoyed it as well he comes in and saves the baby while the other angel wanted it dead pretty easy to follow. It had the right amount of action and horror and I'm saying I liked it.… Expand

I agree of the well-cast lead of their roll in this movie, but we also learned the message that gives this movie, that humanity is coming to a point of losing their moral values, love to God and believing of God

Over all the movie is well done. The actors and the acting is the strongest asset of this movie. The plot does make sense. At certain points it slows down too much. The action scenes is also well done.

I thought it was a very good movie. THe characters were interesting and the old testament treatment of God was interesting. Go into the movie with an open mind.

I just want to say that I for one am absolutely tired of the same old remakes and comic book movies! I love the majority of them, but would occasionally like to see a new concept born and unleashed on the world. With movies such as Legion I just want to say that I for one am absolutely tired of the same old remakes and comic book movies! I love the majority of them, but would occasionally like to see a new concept born and unleashed on the world. With movies such as Legion and The Book of Eli we can now experience a few new and relatively entertaining movies for the action lovers to enjoy. I want to start the revolution starting today. Lets say enough with the old and in with the new. Not every movie I see needs an oscar worthy performance Christian Bell, calm the heck down and just put one out for the masses. I dont need Terminator 33 directed by McG, dude you suck give it up on the Terminator series and go back to Charlies Angels. Even the likes of Avatar, and original yet seldomly overdone story with amazing visuals and a compeling cast with BA fight scenes. Seriously when Hollywood remakes the Ateam into a movie you know the ideas are running thin. I enjoy brainless action as much as the next but come ON! Whos with me, the movie may not be great but lets get some fresh new movies into the mix SAY I !!!!… Expand

It's a good movie if you look at it in terms of being a badly written B movie. Paul Bettany commands the screen as the archangel Michael and while the screenplay and some of the dialogue isn't much to write home about. Legion is still a good film

Personally I think the movie was OK. It's a heavy subject for many and was done in a sci fi horror-fantasy sort of genre.

Awesome awesome movie. Now I wish their were sequels to this movie. The old lady freaked me out when I first saw this. That scene alone got me hooked on this movie.
