KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
dannydc-07666 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 :) .
oscar-35 *Spoiler/plot- Legion, 2010. On Earth, moral humans get mixed up in biblical prophesy regarding the Messiah and coming of God's justice on Earth. Archangelic beings arrive on Earth battle to assist the world's history.*Special Stars- Paul Bettany, Kevin Durand, Lucas Black, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianna Palicki, Charles S. Dutton, Dennis Quaid. *Theme- God gives and takes away based on human free choice. *Trivia/location/goofs- The name of the diner is "Paradise Falls", a reference to the changing nature of God's attitude to man and the nature of angels from protectors to destroyers. Also a nod to John Milton's Paradise Lost, where it describes the fall of Satan to earth and the war between angels and man. The tattoos on Michael (and later Jeep) are Enochian, a language supposedly of the angels as recorded by John Dee and his seer Edward Kelley in the late 16th century, which they claimed was revealed to them by angels.*Emotion- A mystical thriller about a couple getting involved in some biblical apocalyptic matters. Film has a very confusing plot and the snap editing manages to keep the viewer somewhat informed and involved. The story is not very entertaining or hopeful. *Based On- Early Bible legends.
neilius Come on, folks!! All these reviews trashing this movie - as if one was expecting Oscar-quality acting and Hemmingway-quality writing!!! It's a fun flick!! Enjoyable throughout. Believable??? If one is a bit stropped by misinterpreted religious dogma, perhaps. But hell, is Star Wars realistic??? And that movie had Mark Hamill to endure!!! HE couldn't act his way out of a paper script!! Legion is a fine flick. Escapism with a few fun twists..... Archangels in conflict, spoiled brat and loveless parents bitching in an isolated diner, a has-been diner owner and his outstanding character as the cook, and a troubled son who is a hero without even knowing it. It's an entertaining movie. Loosen up and watch it again...
Python Hyena Legion (2010): Dir: Scott Stewart / Cast: Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki: Legion means many and there are many reasons to laugh at this Biblical mockery. Characters are given decent backgrounds but never followed up upon. A legion of angels attacks earth after God supposedly loses faith in mankind. Archangel Michael arrives with a carload of machine guns to protect a small group at a diner before locking into a ridiculous battle against angel Gabriel. Any Bible scholars will note that God did this with a flood in the Old Testament. Paul Bettany plays Michael with false bravo. The moment he appears with big guns in either hand, the audience response with laughter. Lucas Black plays a mechanic whose girlfriend's unborn child is the key to mankind's survival. Yeah, and in the Bible her name is Mary and the child would be named Jesus. That story is far more interesting than the idiocy compounded here. Dennis Quaid plays the stern diner owner who spends much time preaching to Lucas about his failed marriage, and slapping the TV when it gets static. Tyrese Gibson arrives with a hand gun but this is only remotely touched upon. He will engage in gun play with the so-called immortals. Adrianne Palicki plays the pregnant waitress who is suppose to be the key to everything but nothing elevates beyond the level of stupidity. This film is about as frightening as an episode of Touched By an Angel. Director Scott Stewart delivers on action, and the special effects are innovative with people shape shifting but it ultimately becomes a legion of extreme bullshit. Score: 2 / 10
