Review of Legion (2010) by Natalie G — 18 Nov 2011

So we have a movie about a renegade angel who comes to Earth to battle ice cream men possessed by angels for the apocolpyse with machine guns. Words can not express just how dire, this film really is. It is a confused screenplay, messy plot, and very average special effects.

The angel concept was badly considered, there was no explanation of the rational, and frankly if the best anyone's god can send to eradicate mankind is a swarm of flies, followed by a relatively small army of fairly useless zombies, then its no wonder mankind got itself so screwed up! The concept of the saviour child, is not explained, so everything seems relatively pointless.

The premise for this film could have been an absolutely epic, apocalyptic feature with feuding angels, fire and brimstone, humanity brought to the edge of destruction, mammoth scenes of human zombie carnage.

It does have a solid cast of both seasoned and upcoming actors of both film and TV. But at the same time too many actors trying to give them all backstories they become too vague and you don't care if they make it out or not.

And along with that they tried to fit too much into this movie. Almost seemed like they had too many ideas and not the proper way to execute them. All in all watch The Prophecy instead. Much better angel vs angel apocolpyse movie.
