Variety
Even when the blood-and-thunder hokiness of the over-the-top plot tilts perilously close to absurdity, the admirably straight-faced performances by well-cast lead players provide just enough counterbalance to sustain audience curiosity and sympathy. - 60
The Hollywood Reporter
The film has enough entertaining action and sly humor to please its target audience. - 60
Time Out
Often resembles a prime John Carpenter thriller--call it "Assault on Manger 13"--until an overcaffeinated angel-fu climax significantly lowers the intelligence quotient. - 42
Entertainment Weekly
After a brisk start, the script turns out to be a rough and humorless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness. - 40
New York Daily News
Even if you overlook the lousy lighting, awkward editing, and uneven acting, there's so much talking -- and so little story -- that your mind is likely to wander. - 40
The New York Times
The leaden dialogue and flat-footed storytelling hobble a talented cast. - 40
Boxoffice Magazine
Essentially a B-movie dressed up with A-level special effects, Legion looks spiffy but sounds bad with a lot of overwritten dialogue scenes and predictable action. - 33
The A.V. Club
A cartoonishly grim supernatural thriller that could stand a lot less talk and a lot more thrills.
