"Interesting" Swift shot: This is a new version of the old classic, with epic special effects and immersing performances by all cast members. Still, it didn't manage to really capture my heart like the original; it will disappoint die-hard fans of the classic in several places.

This is the kind of film you just sit back and enjoy, don't rip it to shreds and you will have a good experience. If you want to shred it though, … [Read more...] about Legion
