The Legion (2020)
1/10
A magnificent work of art, or the worst movie of our generation?

Just finished watching this movie, and it was VERY inspiring. Well, it was so bad that it inspired me to sign up for an IMDB account just to post a review.

The movie itself left me with so many feelings. Motion sickness, confusion, general bewilderment, just to list a few. Mickey's performance was absolutely atrocious, from the mispronunciation of the easiest of names, to the fake eyelashes and french manicured nails, I have never laughed so hard at a non comedy. What was with the eye patch!? At one point he had it lifted from his eye and then started crying. So did he need the eye patch, or was it just a fashion accessory? I'm so confused. Here's my theory on how the eye patch was introduced to the wardrobe.

Mickey: "I think I'm going to wear an eye patch" Producer: "but why?" Mickey: "It will add so much to the character persona" Producer: "what are you going to do with it during the crying scene?" Mickey: "I will just lift it above my eye, and then bring it back down later" Producer: "Mickey, I don't think this is going to work" Mickey: "oh it will work, I'm wearing it"

Aside from Mickey's noteworthy performance, the rest of the movie follows a man that can't seem to stay on his feet. Cue frantic camera work to make sure you get that nauseating feeling in the pit of your stomach. The scenery in the movie was nice. Great scenes of a man stumbling through the forest, a man stumbling through mountains, a man falling in river, and my favourite, a man stumbling through the desert.

My wife isn't a movie watcher, she mainly reads on her iPad while I watch movies. But even she looked up from her screen and said, "What are you watching, this is terrible, please turn it off". However, like a bad accident, I couldn't look away.

If you want to infuriate your friends and family, I suggest that you recommend this movie under the guise of a quality "must watch" film.

It did keep most of my attention for an hour and a half, so I guess the jokes on me.
