Let me tell you what I really think of "Legion"
Outside the make-up and costume design for the angels this was by far the absolutely worst movie produced and released to the unsuspecting public since "Deadly Weapons" starring Chesty Morgan. "Legion" far outstrips anything cult movie maker Ed Wood ever made, even "Plan 9 From Outer Space" and "Glen or Glenda"
There was such potential in 'Legion". The plot of angels fighting on Earth had possibilities. I sat, slept, through almost 2 hours to get to the fight between Gabriel and Michael and that battle lasted 3 minutes. The movie was in danger within the first 5 minutes when Mike cut off his wings in order to fit in with humans. The dialogue is forgettable and pedestrian. Even the catch phrases weren't. I have seen a lot of movies and have never walked out of one, but this was close to being the sullied virgin. The acting was formulaic and the action predictable. Dennis Quaid leapt to make a football catch of the falling baby and it became a highlight.
Michael says to Gabriel after their fight, "You gave Him what He asked; I gave Him what He needed." Inspirational.

The nativity analogy is almost laughable. "The baby wasn't supposed to be born." Gabriel.

  1. Wow, I knew you didn't like it, but geez to compare it to Chesty Morgan's Deadly Weapons is pretty severe! I guess I'd better let you pick the movie next time...
