Legion, one reason why God should probably destroy the world!
I'm not sure if I'm just overly critical as of late, because of that fact that we came out of one of the best Christmases for movies. But sweet, 8 pound 5 ounce baby Jesus this movie is Gawd Awful. I’m going to characterize this review in 2 sections, Comedic influence and possibly a guide on how to make a script make no sense at all.
First off this film, I'm not even sure I should call it that starts out fairly well. Has some good cinematography and camera movement. Some great revealing and developing shots. It’s comical and fits fairly well. Once the grandma shows up from the preview, it goes down hill and every possibly line of dialogue that comes out of any characters mouth, minus Paul Bettany, is horrible and corny! I quote when Dennis Quaid ask what is going on and the cook, Charles Dutton says "These aren’t are regular customers," in a staggered and insecure manner. From this point on the movie acts completely serious and delivering as bad if not worse lines of dialogue. My friend and I were now in a comedy film and it was not all that great of one. That being said, nothing can prepare you for what the hell goes on in the movie.
The plot: People have failed God. So God sends his Legion of Angles, whom takes the form of humans/demons. The only hope for humanity, against God of all people is a pregnant girl out in the middle of nowhere. They never explain why the baby is important and how it can change the fate of humanity. And number one the Angles never rush the small diner in the beginning and just kill everyone. It is my friends a roller coaster ride of nonsense, poor editing, and horrible dialogue. Not to mention the 45 minutes in between the end and the beginning that make no sense, random events happen, and is just plain boring.
My friends do not go see this film. Do not give ephing Scott Stewart, the director, any money for a movie that if best should have gone straight to DVD. So in summary, Bad everything but a good intro and cinematography. STAY AWAY SENSIBLE VIEWERS! RUN AWAY ACTUALLY! Unless of course you are drinking 6 months down the road with friends and you need a good drunken Mystery Science Theateresk, type night!
