Oh, Legion. It's been a week since I've seen it and still a smile comes to my face as I recall its delicious campiness. I won't spoil it for anyone, but here are some key ingredients:
*A foul-mouthed grandmother
*the wrath of God
*evil babies
*an evil ice cream truck driver
*Dennis Quaid
Basically, Legion is full of camp and good times (while characters are having apocolyptic bad times). By all means, as a film student, I should look down on Legion and dismiss it as mainstream garbage. But I don't. I loved Legion.
Do I think Legion was a "good" movie? I think it was paced well, and that the technical execution made it bounce merrily along in a pleasing way. I do not think it will be lauded in critical hindsight; but so little entertainment is.
