I like the fact that the movie at least says that you shouldn't be simply obeying God's every command but deciding for yourself whats right and whats wrong but it's still a bit cringe-y. Constantine was a fun movie but this lacked a good screenplay - the concept, however, is something a good film-maker could do much better with.

As title says,if you have time to spent on this movie don't.This move actually was good in first 10 minutes.Honestly i was thrilled,but then,one paradox after another one,and another...Seven years later still i cant forgive myself because i watched it till the end.I just couldn't digest fact that angels sent from god look like zombies or demons.Second one was girl that gave birth walked one minute after.Don't want to make this review longer,but this must be worst movie i watched...

When you first watch a movie, you are supposed to begin with a complete lack on knowledge of the world/plot/characters (disregarding sequels, book/game-based, and historical movies) that will be in the movie. Yes, the angel depicted on the cover does mean that it will be religious oriented, but considering the many different versions of angels, it should NOT surprise people that this depicts a different version. It is very frustrating to read reviews that bash the movie simply because it goes against their view of angels. That is the point of Science fiction/fantasy movies in the first place! I was able to follow the movie's plot and depicted mythology, but people who make a living reviewing movies automatically stamped a "dumb" on it because it doesn't show angels in a good light. Uh, what do you think is supposed to happen when this "rapture" that people talk about happens? The movie shows all the devout Christian people turn into angels who begin to kill those they see as heathens.. Kinda tells me the souls of those who became angels were taken to heaven, doesn't it? I love the movie, and only just recently found out about Dominion, which I plan to watch at first opportunity.The movie has death, birth, talk of religion, abortion, adoption, custody battles, marriage troubles, teenage rebellion, love, substance use, even the military is mentioned with one of the background characters said to be a former Marine who had his hand destroyed by a grenade. The reviews that say there is too much dialog just don't understand the amount of character development that went into each person who was in that diner. A married couple with a rebellious teen daughter, a black 'thug' in a custody battle over his kid, a former marine amputee cook, a pregnant single waitress who plans to give the kid up for adoption, a mechanic in unrequited love with said waitress, and the diner/gas station/truck-stop Owner who thought he was going to make it rich by building in a "future-prime" location. Each character is meant to associate with the audience, even if Kyle is more 'stereotype token black guy' than anything. All that dialog is necessary to tell this epic level story. Though I thought it would have been better as a mini-series, I still love this movie.

Legion (2010): Dir: Scott Stewart / Cast: Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Dennis Quaid, Tyrese Gibson, Adrianne Palicki: Legion means many and there are many reasons to laugh at this Biblical mockery. Characters are given decent backgrounds but never followed up upon. A legion of angels attacks earth after God supposedly loses faith in mankind. Archangel Michael arrives with a carload of machine guns to protect a small group at a diner before locking into a ridiculous battle against angel Gabriel. Any Bible scholars will note that God did this with a flood in the Old Testament. Paul Bettany plays Michael with false bravo. The moment he appears with big guns in either hand, the audience response with laughter. Lucas Black plays a mechanic whose girlfriend's unborn child is the key to mankind's survival. Yeah, and in the Bible her name is Mary and the child would be named Jesus. That story is far more interesting than the idiocy compounded here. Dennis Quaid plays the stern diner owner who spends much time preaching to Lucas about his failed marriage, and slapping the TV when it gets static. Tyrese Gibson arrives with a hand gun but this is only remotely touched upon. He will engage in gun play with the so-called immortals. Adrianne Palicki plays the pregnant waitress who is suppose to be the key to everything but nothing elevates beyond the level of stupidity. This film is about as frightening as an episode of Touched By an Angel. Director Scott Stewart delivers on action, and the special effects are innovative with people shape shifting but it ultimately becomes a legion of extreme bullshit. Score: 2 / 10
