There are quite a few movies coming up in the near future that look good to me. Legion looks promising as long as it doesn’t get corny. Paul Bettany is a great actor and Dennis Quaid should do better here than in G.I. Joe.
The premise of the film is that God has lost his faith in humanity and has sent his legion of angels to eradicate us. Simple enough. But of course, there’s a baby involved. This seems to be pretty standard for movies related to God or the fight between good and evil in a religious sense. Either some lady is pregnant or will soon birth some extremely important kid…why is this always the case? I don’t know. Lack of birth control maybe? (The Pope renewed the ban on birth control in 1968.)
I’m curious how this legion of angels is portrayed. From the preview they look pretty weak, kind of zombie-like. But maybe they’re holding back on the good stuff.
Actually, ya know what Legion reminds me of? A fun little Tales from the Crypt movie called Dark Knight. It’s a similar mix of humor, suspense and horror.
In any case, the preview of Legion looks solid. Check it out…

First off, I admit I could not watch the whole trailer, YUCK! Though I can definately understand God “just getting tired of all the bullshit” as the mother on the trailer tells the little girl. But……….I don't think God would end us with violence like what little I managed to watch. I could see maybe floods, earthquakes, etc. but not murdering angels. Personally I would much rather see a more creative film with the same theme as “God is just tired of the bullshit” instead of just a scary, violent film such as “Legion”. Any creative film makers out there wanna try to make an original film about “God being tired of the bullshit”? That I would go see! “Legion” will definately not be a movie I spend my money on.
