Legion

I was caught up in a little debate when an office-mate said that this film, Legion, is a great movie. I'd say I beg to disagree. I don't think this movie is great. Yeah, maybe it's not that bad but it's definitely far from great.

And as usual, like most movies I am not impress with, I have the movie storyline to blame.I don't know what to make out of this movie. The film-makers possibly were torn whether to make this film as an action/drama/scary/apocalyptic kind of film.

Action wise it was not that bad. I especially like the angel Gabriel Vs. angel Michael fight scenes. But the thing that made this film a total let down was it's apocalyptic/religious theme. If you go make a film that would disagree with someone else's faith you don't just create a theory with-out even a little proof why you even thought of that ideology. God just suddenly got tired? What a very lame premise.I am no expert of the bible but as far as I know that's not the main reason why we got this judgment day in Revelation.

A lot were not explained like why of all women it was Charlie who was chosen to bear the child who will save humanity. And I also don't understand how that child will save man-kind. And that if God got tired and he wants to exterminate humanity why choose possessing people instead of plagues maybe?

I thought the film was entitled Legion cause I'd get to see a whole bunch of angels. I never thought that the legionnaires are possessed people. Well, it's right on track. Legion means a great number. And this film has a great number of pointless basic assumptions, a lot of pretext, a handful of unfunny suppose to be humorous scenes and an awful ending.

Geez. Even God will get tired watching this film.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆
