So what is the general consensus on Legion? Do we think the big budget effects make it worth seeing in the theatre or is it just another apocalypse movie (to watch on cable/rent)?
I have to say some of the stretchy face effects are creepy. They freaked me out when I saw them in survival horror games five years ago. And people crawling up the walls and on to the ceilings? Sigh.
Still, part of me wants to see it. The angel-wing-fu in the trailer looked pretty sweet.
Question--why does the fallen angel who comes to save them have a British accent? And why are they all so masculine? Shouldn't they be beautiful and deadly in an asexual way?
Yeah, I know, another oak panel for my office in Hell.

The British are so much more sophisticated because of their accents. Makes the angel's authority more believable.
Could be a fun movie to watch in the theater. Maybe another outing for the group to act like immature teenagers while we mock its "been there done that" before fx.

I am going either tonight or tomorrow to see this movie. I love movies with angels and creepy old ladies that crawl on the walls... I think the most perfect angel I've ever seen in the movies was Tilda Swinton in "Constantine". I had never heard of her before and honestly couldn't tell if she was a male or female.

Peggy, you must see "Orlando" with Tilda. That's the first time I ever saw her. She plays a man from somewhere in the Elizabethan times of England (I think) then she morphs into a woman for the rest of the flick. And she's immortal. AWESOME beautiful movie/woman.

I would take one for the team for a shot at Tilda Swinton.

So....Legion could have used Tilda... Is it a bad sign when the whole audience laughs at a scene that looks like it was intended to be...well...meaningful? It's not enough that Satan and his demon minions keep coming to earth to fuck with us, now Angels, who are supposed to be the good guys, are being sent to wipe us out....I would go see this movie again if you all decide to go, just to see your reactions, and to see some half naked hunky winged guys...and the Wing-Fu was kinda fun, although way too brief...but for a movie about angels who are sent to destroy humankind, I will watch The Prophecy again....at least Viggo Mortenson was good as Satan..

So Legion could use Tilda, MontiLee would use Tidla, Peggy would use Tilda.
Damn, Tilda's gonna be one tired angel.
