Legion






This film unfortunately was crap, even if I didn't pay to see it, it was still a piece of crap! Initially I really liked the film and the whole Angels vs. humans general theme of the movie, but it just couldn't live up to the hype. The first half of the film was interesting as they start to set up the film, delve into the various characters and set up to the film's basic premise. But pretty much as soon as the actual Angel(s) shows up, the film just becomes a disaster! There is not enough character development to make you really care about anyone in the film, and the film's savior, former Angel Michael played by Paul Betthany is just not as interesting as he could have been.


There has been numerous films about Angels and almost none of them make the whole religious mythology of angels interesting, or as interesting as they could be. The only film to come even remotely close is the film The Prophecy starring Christopher Walken. The Angeles in this film are boring and one dimensional at best, their look also leaves something to be desired as well. As they look almost exactly like the Hawk Men from the old campy Flash Gordan movie from the 70's.
