Legion (3/10)

I had to catch this while I was in Singapore last weekend, after knowing the fact that Brunei had decided to ban it. Not that I'm surprised, but wasn't happy that they pulled it off one day before it was supposed to be shown.Worse was, I could have watched so many other movies that were out in Singapore, like The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus or It's Complicated. Because anything else (except Did You Know About The Morgans?) would have been better.What killed this was the script, the dialogue. Everything uttered was either shit or close to shit. Again I had to wonder, who wrote those lines and thought they could get away with them. So after having a quick check on IMDb, Scott Stewart, writer and director of Legion, is another one of those visual effects guy jumping into a bigger, more important role that he just wasn't capable of handling. (Reminds me so much of Eragon and realising that's one movie I'll never forgive. I pity the actors involved in that, especially Joss Stone.) Just like how I pity Dennis Quaid for his mentality of "just keep doing as many as one can because hey, something's got to be good".The storytelling and the storyline were also shit. It's just another way of making a zombie movie, and a bad one at that. So what if the special effects were good? Everything else wasn't.
