Legion rekalled...

LEGION, the new Paul Bettany action movie is one to avoid. A terrible film. Boring and talky for an action film that had potential. I enjoy Paul Bettany's work and there are some other actors whom you think would make the film interesting and none of it works. Dennis Quaid and Charles S. Dutton waste their time in this as well. One of the main characters name's is Jeep, I think this was unintentionally hilarious since it made me laugh every time I heard it. The film is about a rogue angel who comes to earth to protect the unborn child that will save mankind from the coming apocalypse. The film has an interesting beginning with an possessed old woman getting hit in the head with an iron pan and that is the peak of action for the film, that happens in the first 20 minutes or so and fails from there on out. The simple siege story has no suspense since the attackers only mount one attack when they have the numbers to simply over run the survivors. Their attacks are simplistic, irrational and few. Just a ridiculous waste of time, not even a fun dumb action film that I expected it to be.
