Legion

** - This movies shows that Gabriel is clearly the stupidest of all the angels. Given the opportunity to quickly and efficiently carry out his ordained task, he manages to whiz it down his leg repeatedly and inexcusably. However, he is clearly a talented craftsman, as the astounding array of weaponry that he wields most certainly took a great deal of time, effort and skill to design and build. He also seems to have coated his wings in some sort of titanium alloy that makes him impervious to all weapons (except, apparently, one sword carried by Paul Bettany). As impressive as that is, this movie is pretty bad. All the characters make really dumb decisions and spout out pretentious cornball sophistry that is probably meant to be inspiring and grandiose, but is really just darn difficult to listen to over and over. There are a couple of decent action sequences, but for an ‘action-horror’ movie it had no real horror and an awful lot of slow-moving dialogue scenes loaded with pregnant pauses. In the end, this movie is little more than a boring, pompous and overly serious cross between “Dogma” and “Terminator” without the humor or neat androids of those films.
