Legion

I can describe "Legion" in one word: bad.

The story describes a time when God becomes angry at his creation yet again. This time, however, he has decided to send all the angels of heaven rather than a flood. For unknown reasons, the last hope for humanity lies with an unborn child who must be protected by a gang of misfits in the middle of the desert. They are assisted by the archangel Michael (Paul Bettany), who has disobeyed his orders from God.

The story was an interesting concept, but the execution was very poor. The writing was terrible, leaving plot holes miles wide and constantly overloading on cheesy dialogue. The viewers constantly find themselves knowing exactly what was coming, as the deaths of the characters were easy to forsee. The acting was atrocious, with the sole exception of Bettany. He feels largely out of place in this movie, outclassing all the other actors immensely. He plays his role of Michael with the perfect mix of calm and emotion. The action scenes (which were few in number) were surprisingly well done; not stellar, but better than the rest of this jumble of a movie. 1/5 stars
