  1. Often resembles a prime John Carpenter thriller--call it "Assault on Manger 13"--until an overcaffeinated angel-fu climax significantly lowers the intelligence quotient.
  2. The film has enough entertaining action and sly humor to please its target audience.
  3. Reviewed by: Joe Leydon

    Even when the blood-and-thunder hokiness of the over-the-top plot tilts perilously close to absurdity, the admirably straight-faced performances by well-cast lead players provide just enough counterbalance to sustain audience curiosity and sympathy.
  4. 33
    A cartoonishly grim supernatural thriller that could stand a lot less talk and a lot more thrills.

  2. Something tells me I shouldn't like that movie. But I did. I found it entertaining, and Paul Bettany's character very good. Why God's angels cannot deal with machine gun fire, well, maybe he should have checked Earth out himself before sending down his executioners.
    Good fun !

  3. Unlikely many people, I enjoyed LEGION. I thought it was quite entertaining, but it could have been better though.
  4. The movie is indisputably terrible. From the story plot line to the performances, "Legion" is very messed up. That's all I can say for this cinematic mess. Nothing good. Expand
