This Is Gonna Be Legion — Wait For It —
…
…ary?
When we first saw the trailer for Legion, about evil angels and a special baby and an evil old woman and the diner which appears to be the sole location in the movie, we all decided it looked bad, but very entertainingly so. Now Twitch found a clip of one of the fight scene, and seeing at it involves a dude with a machine gun fighting an angel with a mace while they both twirl around like ballerinas, well… it’s still definitely bad, but I’m a little worried about how much of that will remain entertaining. If I only knew that the movie knew it wasn’t cool, I’d feel a whole lot better about this silliness. I guess we’ll have to wait until January 22nd and see then.
