Critical response
Kim Newman's Academic Article, Legion from Sight and Sound, compares the film as a mash-up of concepts from Tales from the Crypt: Demon Knight, The Terminator, and The Prophecy. Stating,"In most religous-themed-end-of-the-world films- and there are more than you'd think - its the righteous who stand against the dark. Here, it's gun-owners, which suggests how thoroughly screwed-up Legion's values are."

Collis Clark of Entertainment Weekly refers to this movie as a dull horror movie. "The problem lies not with the cast, and Kate Walsh in particular deserves some sort of medal for the scene in which she narrowly escapes being dissolved by pus. Alas, the script is a rough beast that slouches toward utter ludicrousness. '"The future has been unwritten!" intones Paul Bettany's Michael at one point. But Legion barely seems to have been written at all."

Mike Hale of NY Times, says "Unfortunately, the script by Scott Stewart, who directed, and Peter Schink emphasizes stagebound melodramatics and banal television-style catharsis over action and humor." "Amid a bull market for end-of-days tales, “Legion” stands out for its explicitly biblical underpinnings and its claustrophobia."

Peter Bradshaw in The Guardian, "Not many horror movies have the decency to let elderly performers steal the show. But Jeanette Miller absolutely walks off with this one, in the robustly written role of a potty-mouthed satanic old lady who takes a fatal bite out of someone's neck. Paul Bettany plays the particularly badass angel who comes to earth in an attempt to stop God and his heavenly armies wiping out humanity."
