    • Goofs
      When Charlie's baby is being born, you can see there is no umbilical cord. EDIT: There are two simple explanations for the missing umbilical cord: First, there is a medical term for babies born without an umbilical cord, it's called omphalocele - a birth defect of the abdominal (belly) wall. Second, since the child was never supposed to exist, this could be intentional because the child is an abomination..

      Gabriel: This can't be. You've disobeyed Him.

      Michael: You gave Him what he asked for. I gave Him what He needed.

    • Crazy credits
      At the very end of the credits, there is about 10 seconds of "Turkey In The Straw" (the ice cream truck music).

    At Least I Liked It!
    Legion is actually a pretty good movie. I had low expectations when I got this film on DVD. The trailers also looked somewhat lame. I only saw this because two of my best friends recommended it to me. Well, I'm glad they did. I actually thought this was going to be a straight up horror movie but it isn't. I'm not a big fan of horror movies. This is more like a action/fantasy movie.

    Basically this is another movie about the Apocalypse. God is not happy with the way humans are behaving so he sends an army of angels to wipe out human civilization. But there is one rebellious angel who declares his protection of a mother who is carrying a child who is deemed to be the savior of all mankind.

    I am a big fan of Paul Bettany. I have seen almost all his movies and I pretty much liked all of them. My favorite scene from this movie is the grandma scene. I thought that was hilarious.

    Overall, this is a great movie. By the way, I'm a religious person and I don't believe this film at all. Some commenters say this is propaganda. This is just a movie that will entertain. I rate this film 9/10.
