Review:
Alright… I don’t typically go to see movies that I know will be bad.. or watch them at all. I actually expected Legion to be a good movie.. The concept is amazing and Paul Bettany typically doesn’t make bad films (aside from The DaVinci Code), but this movie sucked. It was terrible. I think that the only reason that Bettany agreed to make the film as because he just played Charles Darwin in Creation and needed a way to appease anyone who thought he was anti-God.

Like I said, the concept was amazing… The idea of an apocalypse where angels are sent by God to destroy humanity and the one child that could save us all does have some potential. The creepiness of some of the characters (ie. The old lady and the ice cream guy) could have been placed throughout the film, but where instead only featured in pretty much only those two parts. It wasn’t scary, it just dragged and was totally lame.

That being said, Paul Bettany looked hotter than ever, and not just because of his sexy six-pack. Dark hair totally suits that fine, fine man.

In conclusion, I’d say don’t waste the $12.50 to see the movie, because you’re more than likely going to be disappointed.

Where to see it?
It’s pretty much playing in every theatre in Toronto, but I’d still check here if you want to see it at all.
