When the Apocalypse comes, angels will come to earth with AK-47's.

LEGION doesn't star any weak, sissy angels. They have the muscle packed badassness that is Kevin Durand to carry the heat. Of course, there's Paul Bettany as the archangel Michael in charge of saving humanity.

At first, I didn't really know what to make of this, but after seeing the trailer at the movies I was sold. It's a wonderful story of God being done with our entire planet, and saying, 'F*ck it, let's start over.' But wait there's more! A group of strangers (Dennis Quaid, Tyrese, Adrienne Palicki) get trapped in a diner and one of them is pregnant with the savior of mankind. In swoops Michael (Bettany) to kick some ass and save the womb from total annihilation. Okay, it's not that extreme but it might as well be.

We've got two pics of Bettany and one of the group. Nothing too exciting, but the movie should be pretty cool. I just added 4 more pics to the batch, enjoy scary Grandma!

Nah...
Nope. Good basis, bad execution. Movie has the potential to be awesome and epic yet they reduce its quality with Dennis Quaid and a Forest Whitaker wannabe. Nice. Then it's the typical "the newborn is the savior blah blah and for some reason this newborn has the ability to counter the wrath of God. Not the devil even. God!

I'm not bitching about ridiculous storylines (in a huge Transformers fan so yeah) but it's something that's easily written and has been done before.

Sounds a little bit like Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, but I liked that movie. Count me in.

It's cool to see them portray Michael as the waring Angel he is in the bible, but it's unbiblical. It makes it look like God hates his creation (us). If you believe the bible then this is not how the world ends.

I bet its Dennis Quaid.

I'd have to say your synopsis of the movies is pretty spot on
