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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

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

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.

A lot of people seem to dislike this movie, but it is a favorite of mine. It may be too clever for its own good.

I hope all you gun nuts beated one to Bettany and Quaid shooting grandmas and children with their big guns. I can't wait for the rapture to take you all so we sinners can live in peace in a world without guns.

This movie came so close to being either so-bad-it's-good or ridiculously awesome, but it just ended up being a shallow, boring & uninspired slog.
