It was crap, not because it was stupid, or lacking characters, or being derivative, all those things are fine. Nah, Legion was crap because it was boring. But even if it wasn't crap, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it that much because Paul Bettany can act.

I agree that Legion was crap and boring. The action scenes were just "meh." Priest is a very small step up from Legion.

In Priest, the action scenes are better (although still not great), but too few and far between for a movie that's supposed to be a vampire-shoot-em-up movie. But there was never a suspenseful moment where you ask "how are the good guys going to win?"

The plot in Priest is also slightly better than in Legion. Same for the visual effects and setting.

I liked the idea of legion and the overall storyline .. but then I like that theme. But I agree that it was mostly boring. They could have cut 45 minutes out of the middle and just jumped from the psycho granny scene to the big fight at the end and it woulda been fine.
