Summary: U TELL ME
Review: ..what this movie is all about? While stylish and often times very funny, LEGION OF THE DEAD doesn't know whether it wants to be a tribute to EVIL DEAD or just an excuse for some bloody goings on. Two friends drifting through the California desert are picked up by a deranged hitchhiker. Meanwhile two grey-suited hitmen are going around killing people to enlist them in a legion of the dead. The hitmen are funny, especially the inept drunken one who is always getting himself killed over and over again. They answer to a tall blonde who purportedly may be the Devil. We also have a buxom barmaid named Geena who is the one person the Devil is seeking. how does this all come together? It really doesn't and that's what keeps this movie from being a good one...it does have some funny moments, but the acting is histrionic and since we don't know what in the world is going on, its ending only manages to confirm the lack of coherency.

Summary: Wow surprising bad..
Review: From what I read of other viewers this American version was cut and was supposed to be much better than this. But wow!! I have not given a 1 star for a film in a long time. The film does not have any continuity and makes absolutely no sense at all. It now makes all the more sense when the others who have watched the uncut versions, to see how butchered this film is because it makes absolutely no sense at all. THe only good thing I could say about this is it does have some humor in it that will totally make u laugh but its not enough to make up for the ... of film this is. If I could go back to the past in a time machine, I would tell myself this was a mistake.

Good points: some humor that is unique
Bad points: choppy story, bad plot, boring film, no action

Overal grade : F-

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Legion of the dead
Review: How can I put this? "IT STINKS". It seems they spent the majority of the budget on the cover then on the actual film. The movie makes no sense what so ever. It jumps from scene to scene without continuity. What was this guy thinking This is not even worth renting. Save your money folks, this one is not even boring enough to be called a sleeper.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Worst waste of my time DVD
Review: I have never seen a more stupid excuse for a movie in my life. Not one person can act, all the effects are really bad, and the plot is even more stupid. None of the scenes match up with each other. The Legion is never really explained, and neither is most of the movie. This movie was the most retarded thing I have ever wasted [$$$] and 2 hours on.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: SO BAD IT HURT TO WATCH
Review: I rented this movie tonight and just finsihed watching it. I thought I would write a reveiw to save someone from buying this awful movie. Thank god I only rented it. Until tonight I thought no move could be as bad as "The Jersey Devil" (another movie to stay away from) but this movie proved me wrong. I watched the whole thing from beginning to end and I couldn't tell you what it was about to save my life. It skips from scene to scene and never explains ANYTHING. I don't know what idiot let this movie be released but he should be hunted down and tortured! Whatever you do, don't rent, buy or watch this movie. It will only make you angry that you can't get back the time you wasted on watching it.

Summary: OLAF ITTENBACH FANS, BEWARE!!!
Review: I would like someone at Artisan to explain to me why they even chose to release a movie by Olaf Ittenbach. This is a director who is known for comedic horror soaked with over the top gore. This Artisan release is so severely edited that not only is there very little gore, but key character development suffers, the story loses continuity, and the comedy is left feeling flat. This is not how this movie was intended to be seen. Imagine watching "Aliens" but without all the scenes involving suspense and the aliens themselves and you can get an idea of how this version compares to the uncut release.
If you must, buy it for the "Making Of Legion Of The Dead" documentary. It's far more entertaining and infinitely gorier than the movie itself.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: So much to say... but a 1000 words?!
Review: I'm very glad I got to see this movie for free. If what the previous reviewer says says about the unedited version of the film is true, then a lot of people will be led astray watching this film, thinking they've rented From Dusk 'til Dawn or Evil Dead. Get the unedited version if you can. I'll be looking for it as well.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Despite the Bad Reviews...
Review: Ok, so it wasn't the movie of the year. It doesn't however necessarily deserve all the bad reviews. Perhaps, the plot could have been slightly more developed, rather than handing us snipets of the stories motive. The reason that I say this is that if it were simply a slasher style film with little plot that would have been sufficient, but the storyline for this film required that the viewer have more knowledge of what the events leading up to and occuring in the film concerned. High points of the film included the following: decent acting, and subtle dark humor, as well as a few moderately entertaing action sequences. Of course, the highest point of the film...actress Kimberly Liebe. Her acting was comparable with the acting of the other cast members, but her beauty was the most memorable! I give this film 3 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It rivals Army of Darkness for utter senslessness and funny
Review: Okey I see this has gotten a ton of bad review but I highly suggest any good B-Rated horror fan to get this movie. It was so utterly stupid that I couldnt believe I hadnt heard of it before. Im a vivid fan of the Bruce Cambell trilogy that is The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead(The 2nd remake that seemingly had nothing to do with the first cept for a few characters) And the third "Army of Darkness". If you like those movies for the pure stupidity that makes it utterly funny you'll love this movie's senselessness. DO NOT BUY IF YOU ARE A EXSPECTING A HARD CORE HORROR FLICK! THINK OF THE ABOVE TRILOGY AND YOU'LL GET THE PICTURE. Luke, have my babies.
