Apocalypse everywhere.
Jan. 25th, 2010 05:19 pmYesterday we went to the cinema hoping to catch Avatar but alas, we were not meant to watch it. It's no longer playing at the theatres near us. Can't say that I was too disappointed because there were conflicting reviews from my flist but still, I was hoping to see it and judge it for myself. Oh well.
Anyway, hubby said he wanted to watch Legion. I knew nothing about that movie but knowing hubby I thought it'd be the beat-'em-shoot-'em, Die Hard type of film and I was right, well, sort of.
Oh man, when I saw the movie poster - a winged-man no less - I really, really wanted to turn back except that hubby was set on watching it. Said he saw the trailer and he liked it, and really it was either that or The Tooth Fairy, and that's another man-with-wings argh.
Anyway, it wasn't bad. It wasn't great but I enjoyed it nevertheless. And I'm so on board with Paul Bettany playing Michael, so very on board. His Michael is as bad-assed as![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baylorsr's Michael here, and if you hadn't read that already you totally SHOULD. I kept expecting Sam and Dean and Azrael and Castiel to make their appearances!
The best thing about the movie ( other than Bettany as Michael of course ) was Adrienne Palicki!! That was a very pleasant surprise indeed, and she was GOOD!! From girlfriend to a would-be Lucifer's vessel to a girl receiving protection from Michael. Niice ...
Bettany kicked ass as Michael, until the dreaded wings made its appearance of course. I'm so not into men with wings, and except for a couple here and there, I'm not into wing!fics either. I'm so hoping that if they ever decided to give Dean his wings, it'd be something subtle, more of the idea of wings, the way they did with Castiel and the other angels. The shadow of wings, the imprints of Uriel's and the girl angel's in 'On The Head Of The Pin', the sound of wings fluttering, those work so much better than the ones in the movie.( some spoilers )
