Movie Review: Legion


Paul Bettany stars as the Archangel Michael who falls from heaven, clipping his wings, in order to save humanity from God's wrath. I must say, going into the movie I was expecting to see angels vs. demons, not angels vs. angels. It is an unusual portrayal of angels, how often do we think of them as evil (other than Lucifer, of course). In this film, hundreds of thousands of angels have descended from heaven, possessing the weak minded humans and turning them into killing machines. Michael must protect the unborn child of Charlie (Adrianne Palicki). This child is the key to saving humanity. Michael does his best to try and protect the baby and the other archangel Gabriel does his best to destroy it. The movie was entertaining, it's no The Prophecy, but good enough to keep you entertained. Just remember it's not heaven vs. hell, it's heaven vs. earth.


Rating: 3 1/2 stars
