A LEGION Cause of Laughter in Theatres?!?

First One Missed Call, then The Unborn, then Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, now this. Legion sounds like another horror movie that would give its viewers brain lesions. This is why I hate movie theatres in Januaries. At least those in the northern half of the US have no reason to trudge through all those blizzards...

Seems that studios usually dump their crap on cinemas in January and February. By the way, I'm not going to see this movie because of the sole fact that in it a modern woman is pregnant with the Messiah, which is outright blasphemy (and ridiculous!) in my terms. One Messiah was enough, and I'm not afraid to confess my faith in him. It was God's will that He died on that cross, and placed all the sins of the world, including future sins, on Himself so that we would be forgiven.

And they call those shapeshifting monsters "angels"?  They should be called something else.  The only real angels in this film are the ones protecting the pregnant woman.  The story is complicated, the premise is weird and the concept is unfamiliar:  God loses faith in humanity...he sends shapeshifting beasts to slaughter the humans...one woman is said to be carrying the Second Coming of Jesus.  There's a prophecy that precedes all that, but why does God lose faith in humanity?  Does he lose faith because humans are polluting the environment?  Does he lose faith because humans are committing too many sins and crimes?  Does he lose faith because humans keep voting Twilight over everything else?  Someone has to explain what caused this holocaust, or else audiences won't have any idea why all this is happening!  

Let's see, this is the second movie within a two week time frame to have religious figures or themes, "The Book of Eli" being the other. It seems H-Wood is trying to cash in on the biggest of franchises with a very devoted, built-in fan base: organized religion.

Honestly, I didn't get anything about her carrying "The Messiah" all I got was that the plot was carrying a Mess-a crap. I suppose part of the problem might have been the idiots in the theater who were apparently trying to converse with the characters on screen, and had to loudly repeat any line they found even remotely humorous....

COME ON!!! Don't torture my religion of Christianity.

I understand what you're saying, but the Bible says Jesus will be coming back, and there will be a second coming. I enjoy movies on a cinematic level - if this were a quality movie, I would want to see it. There are lots of things that happen in movies that I don't agree with, or don't believe in (such as murder), but I don't let this affect how much I enjoy the movie, or what I believe in. If I barricade myself from what happens in the real world, without seeing it for what it is, then I remain ignorant and farther from God. 

You want a good religion based movie? See Kevin Smith's "Dogma". Or, even better, Bill Maher's "Religulous". Now that's a faith centered movie to sink your teeth into.

Two outstanding films, although I really wish someone would construct a contract with Kevin Smith that doesn't pay him by the number of times one of his characters drops an "f" bomb
