We saw Legion last night at the Movie Tavern, here's what I thought:
Two thumbs way down. Anybody thinking about dropping some dollars on this apocalyptic train wreck must already understand that this is no Oscar contender, as it bills itself as more of a supernatural action shoot-em-up. With angels. It starts out semi-decent, while it isn't taking itself too seriously. You can use Tyrese as a simple barometer for this transition, as his presence in any movie prevents me from taking it seriously, which is exactly what this movie needs. Around the time he dies, we are brought into a way-too-serious flashback which pulls the bath tub drain chain, and we watch all the campy humor swirl into the sewer. We're left with a horrendously acted and written Biblical slugfest that doesn't even try to make sense. Don't waste your time.
