Editorial Reviews

Presenting the original motion picture score to the Screen Gems sci-fi/action feature film Legion, starring Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid and Tyrese Gibson, in theaters everywhere January 22, 2010. Acclaimed composer John Frizzell (Alien: Resurrection, Office Space, Whiteout) creates a pulse-pounding musical ride that bolsters all the jaw-dropping action in this amazing human vs. angels saga.

Legion, starring Paul Bettany, had promise. The story was good, his acting was good, and some of the cast was fantastic, but the script, directing, and Lucas Black all made this film fail, but there was one thing that helped make this some-what watchable; the music. John Frizzell, who wrote the music for Kate Beckinsale's Whiteout, created something truly fantastic with this score. Showcasing this epic and grand battle of a fallen angel teaming with humanity to stop the Armies of Heaven from wiping out the human race, is the music. The film failed, but the music succeeded. In the second track, "Michael Descends," the haunting atmosphere begin, and doesn't let up, offering sounds of something mysterious coming; either to save or destroy. Later on, in the track "The Battle," John Frizzell composes something that's a mix of Trevor Morris' Immortals and Tyler Bates' 300, with a sense of terror.

Overall, this is a fantastic soundtrack for an awful film. If you love movie music or intense instrumental music, this is a perfect addition. I recommend it to all movie score/soundtrack fans.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the RAP SONG from the movie??? February 24, 2011
Tons of hits on youtube for the 19 second blip when Tyrese was driving listening to a rap song clip made especially for the film. If you type in KING JUJU UNDISPUTED you will find hundreds of people trying to find it...

RELEASE THE SONG... I would have bought the crappy album for that!

2.0 out of 5 stars Another Formulaic Scoring Attempt From John Frizzell February 24, 2010
Let me start off by saying that Legion was one of the worst movies I've seen in recent years. However, I have found many great scores in quite awful films. Legion is not this case. John Frizzell has never composed anything that has ever connected with me. Wait, I take that back. I actually liked the score to Dante's Peak, but I credit James Newton Howard's writing on that since the theme is amazing. Frizzell's music is usually as formulaic as the movies he composes, which aren't the best projects to begin with. Just to name a few films he's done: Whiteout, The Reaping, First Born, Primeval, Stay Alive, Cradle 2 The Grave, Ghost Ship, Thir13en Ghosts, Alien Resurrection, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.

Legion is terrible material to be given as a composer. There is only so much you can do with one of the worst scripts to hit the market since Ultraviolet, but at least Klaus Badelt managed to make it stylish. Here we get nothing out of the ordinary. Pulsing strings and overbearing synth modified vocals at inappropriate times. Some of the structures actually lead me to believe that The Dark Knight may have been used as a temp track, but that's just my speculation.

The score never stands on its own. I can barely tell you what the main theme is. There are a couple attempts at drawing out some emotion and it's of course a piano melody. The one glimmer of light I found in the score is the track "Die Like One Of Them". You can feel the embodiment of thematic structure that you wish somehow found its way into the rest of the score. Then again this is the score to Legion; a film starring Paul Bettany as a rogue angel protecting a trailer trash baby from God's army at a gas station in the desert.
