Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Two stoners are on their way to a desert town to visit their cousin when they are picked up by a man offering them a lift in his car. But it turns out that the man is a psychotic killer. Their cousin tries to rescue them. Meanwhile a pair of astonishingly inept undead hit men are 'recruiting' people to become undead soldiers for their master Togaio, an evil immortal. Togaio is also after Geena, a female immortal who is the last member of her race, now working as a waitress in a bar. After being rescued from the psycho, the stoners & their cousin arrive at the bar at the same time as Togaio & his army. When their presence triggers one hell of an ugly barroom brawl, the stoners attempt to save Geena from Togaio. Legion of the Dead (or to use the on screen title, which is simply Legion) is perhaps one of the worst films I have ever seen. It really staggers belief that an extremely pathetic piece of trash like this would b e made in this day & age. The film is the directorial debut of visual effects artist Olaf Ittenbach (it would be ironically fitting that Ittenbach would later be doing effects work for fellow German filmmaker Uwe Boll on his film BloodRayne).You get a sinking feeling when the film starts with two stoners clearly stoned out of their mind having a ridiculous discussion about genitals, to the point that you wonder if Ittenbach is pulling your leg & making some kind of satire. Alas, that is not the case – the film tries to copy the success of Tarantino's early works (in particular Pulp Fiction), with two astoundingly inept & idiotic undead hit men killing people & having a running argument over the colour of their suits (one prefers the grey suits they are wearing but the other thinks they are ugly so makes the decision to get yellow suits). This madness grates on for what seems to be forever but is in fact one scene intercut with the plight of the two almost as stupid stoners being abducted & held prisoner by a crazed psychopath. Then we see the life of Geena, the friendly female immortal who has a sunny disposition & who cannot be killed except by a virus created by her opposite member.Having seen the film numerous times (in an effort to discern the almost totally insane plot), I can say with certainty that Olaf Ittenbach probably wrote a horror comedy but somehow lost control & the film was badly edited together to point that the story was jumbled up like a plate of spaghetti. Case in point the barroom brawl, which looks quite spectacular (particularly with the cool techno song playing in the background) but is the very definition of "mindless violence", mainly due to being incoherently edited & with several elements being left unexplained. The film ends on an equally incoherent ending that suggests some sort of time warp taking place.The acting is mostly bad. Matthias Hues is his usual self, making his role of Togaio the evil immortal quite good, although the only actors who comes close to matching him in the acting department are Kimberly Liebe as the good immortal & a madly glass-munching Christopher Kriesa who gives his role of the psychopathic killer some enthusiasm.

This movie was possibly the worst movie I have seen so far. Even in the last 10 minutes of the movie, I found myself wondering who certain random characters were, and what the hell was going on. The acting was less than mediocre, and what about the plot you may ask? What plot?? The humor was certainly not funny. I found myself getting irritated as the movie constantly insulted my intelligence in the form of crap comedy and poor dialogue.I wish I could say there was some sort of redeeming feature in this film...but there isn't. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never be able to get back again, and $5 from the video store that I could have spent on a film that was entertaining. If I could give it 0/10 I would. Don't even think about seeing this movie.

'Arms spread wide, I laugh at you thusly...hah, hah, hah!' This film was decently shot, likely on Super 16mm or 35mm. That is its one strong point. Things really go down hill from there. ****SPOILER****Two friends are held hostage by a drooling, crazy dude who wants to kill them. They are saved by the sudden arrival of a cousin, who crashes a truck into the maniac. This event somehow ties into the friends being caught up in the middle of a demon recruiting action. And let's not forget the demon girl, who just wants to wait tables and be left alone. Wanted to be PULP FICTION meets BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER...but it was not. A bad script and awful dialogue could not be saved by fair acting. This movie was horrible in a way that only pseudo-art house German crap can be. Really.

`Legion of the Dead' was my first movie directed by Olaf Ittenbach and I can't say I'll immediately purchase his other achievements now. Ittenbach is supposed to be a funky, amateur gorehound who stuffs his films with grotesque violence and cheerfully absurd characters. Well, it is gory all right, but even more stupid and pointless. Legion of the Dead seems to handle about all sort of things, but nothing in particular. And in the end, it'll just feel like you've wasted yet another 90 minutes of your precious life. Two main storylines are presented during the first hour of the film. A couple of retarded siblings recruit soldiers for the `Legion' by killing, and literally blow them back to life. In the other storyline, a madman suffering from rabies hijacks two lowlife-friends. Both stories are cut off abruptly and the characters come together in a setting that looks an awful lot like the bar in `From Dusk Till Dawn'… Ittenbach even hired an exact Salma Hayek look-alike for this! The totally ridiculous last half hour is painfully bad and you can consider it an achievement if you sit it through. Every now and then, Ittenbach shows slight signs of ingeniousness through black humor, but the wholesome really stinks. Avoid at all costs!
