IGN review of Legion.

In movies, it's usually the Devil who comes to Earth seeking to bring about Armageddon, but in Legion it's God who decides to destroy mankind. That's the premise of this apocalyptic thriller, a sort of cross between Assault on Precinct 13 and End of Days. The Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany), having defied a vengeful God, comes to Earth to save humanity. Why does God want to smite us all again (the first time was the Great Flood, remember)? Because after centuries of war and hatred, He's finally grown tired of our s**t. Michael, however, hasn't lost faith in humanity.

What does God need an army of angels for, if He wanted to destroy humanity? Does the movie, like Supernatural or Prophecy, depict angels as material beings? Even the IGN reviewer criticizes its movie for its lack of sense in portraying God. (The worst of all possible interpretations of the "God of the Old Testament"? Vengeful, petty, without compassion, possibly incompetent and not omniscient. Why bother to create human beings if we couldn't live up to His expectations?)

We have the absent God in Supernatural. Has Hollywood hit a new low in its attacks on God with Legion?
