Unlike A Perfect Getaway (Theatrical/Unrated Director's Cut) (which totally took my surprise with its semi-awesomeness), Legion landed in my lap last night with a big bad boring thud. A film with seemingly illustrious plans of Biblical proportions, the flick instead reminded me of nothing more than a zombie film (and a bad one at that!) hiding in disguise.

For goodness sakes the CW show Supernatural handled this very same theme during the fifth season with much better and far more provocative results. The best  (and most silly!) thing about Legion is (as with a lot of films, lately) already available in the trailer...yeah, I'm talking about that sweet-looking elderly woman who does the Spiderman walk across the ceiling of a run-down diner.

Other than that, I can't really find anything remarkable about the film, though Paul Bettany (as the angel Michael) is as good as always with his acting. Someone, however, needs to tell Kevin Durand (as "Gabriel") that whispering morosely throughout a film doesn't translate into an Academy Award.
