It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While gathered at a remote truck-stop diner, a small group of inhabitants finds that the mysterious stranger who arrives is an Angel of Heaven looking to keep a pregnant member of the group alive as God sends forth an army to wipe them out as part of his Armageddon plans.Overall this one was quite an enjoyable effort. The biggest factor for this one is the fact that this one really lets loose with lots of great action throughout here, giving this one so much to really like here from the numerous encounters. There's tons of bloodshed and some creepy moments here and there from scenes like the first shootout from the armory with the turned policemen, the diners' encounter with the old woman who begins flying around the ceiling attempting to get at them in the middle of a huge gunfight and the blazing firefight on the top of the establishment with the endless stream of possessed coming along in cars leading to the flaming crashes and burning bodies left behind as the gunfights take out dozens more in fine fashion. The other ambushes on the patrons inside the diner are quite fun as they attempt to break in and get at them forcing some thrilling action to barricade them off which makes the whole segment quite fun along with the later attacks here with the trap involving the family coming to the gas pump and setting off the trap which is quite a blast overall here. The big final assault here makes for quite a big spectacle here as the initial charge on the building and the pre-natal conflict to keep the baby alive in the midst of a furious hand-to-hand battle between the supernaturally-powered aggressors throwing each other around the diner and brawling with intensity and fervor that matches the brutality of what's coming on. The spiritual context of the fight helps to give this a stronger sense of fantasy and spectacle than otherwise expected, which gives this one a great visual sense to go along with the engaging story which gives this another piece of the strong plot. As well, the fact that there's a lot to like with its make-up work on the possessed deformities and the strong, bloody gore all work together with these factors here to make this a rather enjoyable effort. There's not a whole lot really wrong here, as there's really only one main problem here as there's some truly bad and obvious CGI found here. The transitions from the possessed as they begin jumping and flying around in really ludicrous manners that are tacky and stand-out in the diner attacks and the finale which are the most obvious and distracting parts. Otherwise, there wasn't a lot of other flaws here.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, violence-against- children, drug use and strong religious themes.

This is, and probably always will be my most favorite movie. I'm a sucker for Angels and having to protect people. Of course some things don't match to any biblical sense, as for one, Angels are not sent to kill someone, they don't have sharp teeth, nor do they have black eyes. Angels do server purposes to fulfill Gods true purpose of protecting humans and serving them, as we are His children. This is somewhat of a scary movie, more or less just weird, yet, it gets the adrenaline pumping and rushing on the fight scenes. Even though, I wouldn't believe that Arch-angels would fight each other, its not in their nature to do such thing.

To begin I want to point out the many things wrong with this movie and then state what the movie did right.Usually the idea of the biblical apocalypse is the angels of Heaven vs. the demons of Hell but in this movie it's the angels causing the whole apocalypse. OK, but what doesn't make sense is why are the people possessed by angels acting like demons and the whole concept of flies which are usually associated with demons? I honestly thought this was a very strange idea. Also what was so special about this pregnant women and her soon to be born child? The baby certainly not the second coming of Jesus.Now what the movie did good on, the action scenes were actually quite good, sure there was some drama going on but thankfully it didn't drag on and to be honest I think the movie did fairly well for an action fantasy film.Overall, even though the story had me really lost and confused but at least the movie tried to be a fairly alright action film despite just being a typical mediocre film.

I watch movies all the time and tonight, while looking thru my collection of movies, I came across Legion. I have been reading reviews over the past week of how bad this movie has been. I had purchased it along with about 5 other movies at the time and had never seen it. Completely forgot about it - but very thankful that I came across it tonight.Basically, the plot is how GOD has given up on humanity and has given the order to wipe us out. Micheal, the Archangel, still had hope in us and chose to defy GOD's order. In doing so, he becomes a human to protect a pregnant woman and her unborn child from the legion of possessed people that have come to take her life.Others have stated that there is so much wrong with the movie, but I don't think that is true at all. The movie was made on a $26M budget but plays as a blockbuster movie. Has an all star cast, great acting, and some scenes that I consider to be Epic.Is it accurate? No. Is it entertaining? Yes, definitely. I am glad that this movie is in my collection.
