10 Terrible Films That Are Actually Awesome

Legion casts Paul Bettany as a machine gun-wielding archangel who arrives at a truck stop in the Mojave desert to protect waitress Charlie (Adrianne Palicki), who’s about to give birth to the future saviour of mankind. The forces of evil are also present and manifest themselves as potty-mouthed old ladies who can spider walk across ceilings or zombies that can only be stopped by heavy artillery.

Sounds awesome, right? Like a real slam-bang supernatural thriller that just wants to give you a good time. It is, of course, but the critics had to warn everybody off, with Entertainment Weekly denouncing the movie as a “rough and humourless beast slouching its way towards utter ludicrousness.”

Which it probably also is, but it’s tough to dislike a movie where Bettany leads Tyrese Gibson and Dennis Quaid in a heavily armed assault against zombies dressed as ice cream vendors. If ever a movie should’ve been released with a warning about suspending your disbelief, it’s this one.
