Critics Consensus

Despite a solid cast and intermittent thrills, Legion suffers from a curiously languid pace, confused plot, and an excess of dialogue.

Swallowed up by its effort to be a film of multiple genres. The only genre it earns a place in is comedy; it achieves an amount of unwarranted laughs of biblical proportions.

A forgettable entry for a ton of actors who went on to do better films. The few bright spots never truly get to shine because 'Legion' is such a mess of a movie.

A whole series of familiar tropes wrapped up in a cliché-ridden bow.

h i don't understand why the low rating. The Acting was spot on. the Plot is very good for a Biblical Apocalyptic. The Angel Portraying is Very Excellent. Michael & Gabriael scenes & dialogs were Fantastic. 9/10 imo.

It's not a masterpiece, and there are a lot of misfires with the story, but overall, this movie was incredibly enjoyable. The story was gripping, the action sequences were awesome, and there were so many beautifully terrifying moments that made the movie so much fun to watch. I definitely recommend it for action, horror, thriller, biblical epic, and disaster movie fans!

Cult classic that isn't loved like it should be, we don't get a lot of biblical horror.

A very cool concept, but very poor execution. It needed a longer run time or split into more movies to be executed well.

Legion (2010) is a film that starts off very confusing; the audience doesn't understand what the plot will reveal as it unfolds. It's a pretty crazy and terrible story. The script is very predictable. One good thing is that it ended pretty quickly.
