Legion, despite boasting a unique premise and a talented cast, failed to fully capitalize on its potential. Critics and audiences were divided, with some appreciating the film’s action sequences and performances, particularly Paul Bettany’s, while others criticized its pacing, confused plot, and reliance on dialogue over development. The blend of action, horror, and fantasy offered moments of thrill, but ultimately, the execution left it feeling less impactful than anticipated. Its ambitious narrative ambition, paired with occasional visual flair, provides a mixed viewing experience that might appeal more to fans of the genre looking for light entertainment rather than a cohesive story.
