I like the concept. The cast looks pretty good

"I mix my fascination with the mythology of angels with my real-life objective to keep my children safe, to keep them as happy as possible, ... with the attitude of a warrior."

Thank you, Paul, for getting this so right.

This is why I'm really looking forward to this film. Badass protective warrior angel with black wings for the win. And the mini-poster I got at Comic-Con is on my office wall, because... well... angelic badass eyecandy is never a bad thing. :)

I don't get it... So God's the bad guy who wants to destroy humanity now? So we have a hero who is an angel who turns against God? Isn't that essentially the story of Satan?

I get the idea of just coming up with something "cool" and going with it (I am a fan of Supernatural which plays with lore and legend all the time) but this doesn't sound appealing, at least as it was described here.

"Legion" is what "Prophecy" wanted to be. This movie is gonna ROCK!

Hey Drew, go to church then and continue your brainwashing, your almost there.

Sounds like a cool movie.

Bettany's character sounds just like Supernatural's Castiel with machine guns, love Cas:)

TurtleBurger,
Actually, I don't go to church, you bigot. But I am a Christian, and the fact that you seem to have a problem with that or think that I've been brainwashed because I don't follow your belief system says more about how shallow and closed-minded you are than anything else.

I think that if you're looking at the source material from which someone is taking a story, it seems worth pointing out that there are certain aspects of this film which could make a person scratch their head. It's not a stretch of the imagination to see those elements in the story. If you see something wrong with discussing that, you just need to grow up. Why are you so scared of discussing this topic in response to a story which obviously draws elements from the Bible? Worried that you might accidentally get brainwashed and turn out like one of us crazy Christians who can't think for ourselves or form intelligent thoughts? You know, just to be safe, maybe you shouldn't share a drinking fountain with us either. You might catch Christianity.

haha.
but drew does have a point.
does sound kind of like The Fall.
but
its fiction.
not saying you should join a religion based on the film.
its like the anti-harry potter movement.
its just funny.

If you watch the red band trailer for "Legion" it explains God's motivation in a nutshell. When asked "Why is he doing this?" the angel replies "He's sick of all the bullshit."

And I mean, really...aren't we all?

Looks very promising.

"... legions of angels to wipe us out. "

You don't need to add an 's' to legions. Legion is already plural.

Hey Drew, you just proved my point. LOL. You can't claim your a Christian spouting out garbage like that, you are supposed to just forgive me and tell me Jesus still loves me no matter what.

Turtleburger - try to grow up a little.

Jesus does love you. I kinda think your a d-bag.

Don't tell me what my religious beliefs are. I'd rather not take Bible study classes from a bigot like you.

The concept of this movie is disturbing, ignorant, and lacks imagination and morals. If God wanted us dead, then we would be dead. No angel or man could save us. That's neither here nor there; God loved mankind so much he sacrificed his own son for us. To wipe us out like that would negate all of that. God does not lie. No matter what your faith is God loves you, I understand that some of you just don't know any better and/or just don't get it. All of that will change one day, of that I am sure. I will not waste my time watching such dribble.

Zombie LOL, look at our handles they are both childish, ,,!,

Drew I apologize for saying your brainwashed by your religion, you obviously are not by resorting to name calling. You are the perfect example of the hypocritical Christian that drives people away that may be interested in your faith. Again I should not have said what I did it was wrong to pre-judge you but its only a movie that is fictional, its not meant to make fun of your faith its just meant to entertain. Why is is so hard for religious people to understand its just a movie..

You have no interest in Christianity. You're a bigot who views us as mindless drones who worship a mythical creature which you view as little more than a unicorn or a hobbit. You mock us because you believe that no true Christian would ever call you out for what you are, which is (as I've said before) a bigot.

You know nothing of my religion, nor enough about me to know whether or not I am a hypocrite. You merely hope that I am, because that would justify your bigotry.

I understand plenty about the movie. I've said before that I am a fan of Supernatural, which has touched on the subject, breaking from what I personally believe, but has done so in an entertaining way, which also took their source material into account (even if it wasn't all material that I believe in). What I did was point out some obvious parallels in this movie and its source material, the Bible, and mention that it doesn't sound like a very good movie based on what was written here. I never said anyone was going to burn for all of eternity in Hell, or anything like that. That was all an assumption made by you, drawing from your limited, bigoted views of Christianity and its followers.

I really do hope that you will someday find God, but I'm not driving you away from anything. I'm pointing out the fact that you're being an ass, and you expect us Christians to take your insults, because for some reason you have it in your head that defending our beliefs is against our beliefs.

You're wrong on so many counts. Maybe you should crack a book sometime.

LOL Drew I think I will pass if Christianity if it makes me anything like you. I think you need to go to confession. I was brought up Catholic but you are an example of why I left it. Go back and read what you wrote and tell me your a true man of faith.

I'm not a Catholic. As I said, you know nothing about what I believe. You know nothing about Christianity. You're too much of a bigot to learn about that which you mock.

I am a man of complete faith. You're a man of ignorance and intolerance (both points have been proven here, hence the reference to your being a bigot). Nothing that I've written has been anything but truthful, but if you'd care to educate me in the ways in which I've strayed from my faith be my guest. I'd like the chapters and verses to back up your claims, if you don't mind. Also, if you could specify which translation of the Bible you're referencing, that would be swell. I'll try to get back here in a few hours to see what you've come up with. I'm sure that you won't have a problem with that, given your apparent fluency in my religion.

Personally I think the entire concept of this movie is whacked. Hello! GOD, omnipotent, omniscient. If he wanted to kill us all he'd just think a stray thought and badda bing! it's done.

Unless there is some kind of weird underlying theme of God giving us a chance to prove we're worthy by having to defend ourselves against an army of all powerful angels.

Turtle: Come on dude, obviously this movie is a knock off of Satan. Why would God destroy the human race while Angels defected from heaven. Your shots at Drew's security are obviously not working, so stop blaming your problems on him. GG no RE.

Drew: Solid. Now let's go drink some punch and be brain washed....excellent.

This movie makes no sense. Looked awesome until I took a closer look. Not my cup of tea.

I drank some of the punch last night, but I think my stash has gone bad. I'm having all kinds of clear thoughts and I don't have anywhere near my normal level of blind hate toward anyone who isn't like me. :-)
