Robin Hood, starring Russell Crowe, is not a quick to the chase kind of movie but rather, it feel’s like a well tended plant, the story develops at a natural, organic pace that keeps the viewer engaged.

Legion, starring Paul Bettany, Lucas Black, Adrianne Palicki, Dennis Quaid, Kevin Durand (Robin Hood, X-Men Origins: Wolverine; on TV: Lost) et al. is about God giving up on humanity and kick starting the Apocalypse to clean up this mess of a society. This movie review of Legion is focused on the fun of it, bot the artistic representation or what not of how it reflects on society or what not. (Keep that in mind!)
The story of Legion is focused on the birth of one child and, with the angels doing God’s bidding to destroy humanity, they come to stop the birth of the child.
The previews for the movie give up most of the action scenes. There are a few subtle (or not) disconnects in a few scenes that just lose a tiny bit of continuity, but overall, it’s a good film for kicking back and chomping down your popcorn or choice guilty pleasure munch-snack.
