Movie Review: Legion
Legion
*thanks geeksyndicate
I had high hopes for this movie. Counted down the days, subscribed to the film’s website… the whole nine yards. But alas, something went horribly wrong.
The story follows a familiar plot line, the war in heaven comes down to earth, and god decides we are no longer worthy of his love and seeks to exterminate mankind. One rogue angel in the form of a very attractive Paul Bettany, decides to fight back against this army of God’s immortal hit men by holing up with a restaurant full of strangers, one which is pregnant with the world’s only hope of continuing. Good idea, badly executed. I felt like the film school-dropout, stoner nephew of the producer wrote this script as every cheesy line possible took form no matter how much you wished in your head they wouldn’t say it. This film had a chance, with a better writer. I hope someone has the good sense to remake it and watch The Prophecy a couple hundred times for inspiration. I’m totally cool with Paul Bettany playing Michael again, though.
Anyway, there you go, folks–my review. As I wait excitedly for Tim Burton’s (a.k.a “God’s”) Alice in Wonderland to hit theaters, then we shall see if the broken pieces of my movie-going heart can be picked up again.
Take care folks, until next time.
Kia out. *bleep-bloop*
