oh, how this sucked . . .
I'm a HUGE fan of both "Babylon 5" and "Crusade." I've got all the original novels, even. It's great sci-fi.
Needless to say, I was totally stoked about "Legend of the Rangers" when it aired on SciFi Channel, but as I watched with one of my friends (also a major fan), I could only allow my jaw to slacken in disappointed amazement.
This is a bad movie. Worse than "Grey 17 Is Missing." Worse than "Infection." Preposterously bad. The acting is terrible. The dialogue is incredibly terrible. (If someone said "We live for the One, we die for the One" one more time, I'd have gone the kind of mad Lovecraft wrote about.) The effects . . . well, they're actually quite good. But effects do not a good movie make.
I'm still buying this one, of course, because I'm a completist. But if you are not a seriously devoted B5 fan, I would suggest that Netflix is the way to go on this one. Better yet, just skip it altogether.
