Review of Legion

Legion (2010)
2/10
No Action, Tired Story!
23 January 2010
I went to this movie looking for what was advertised, an action movie. What I got was a very slow paced and unoriginal story. A warmed over Terminator meets Dawn of the Dead, and not in a good way. Take all the boring parts of those two movies and you have Legion.

About 30 minutes in, the story just stops and you have a group of people sitting in a dark diner complaining about their lives. Then a little more action, and Boom! Story stops and nothing happens for 45 minutes. The climax has some good action and a few wows but nothing to justify the previous two hours of boredom.

As I left I thought how the more interesting story is what would happen after the film ends. So I was left a wanting for a sequel but knowing one wouldn't come because THIS movie was so bad. All and all I think it would have made a better TV drama or mini-series with the rest of the story as the show and this as the pilot.
