Movie Reviews of Avenging Angel
Movie Review: good western
Summary: 4 Stars
This western is prettygood, doesn't have a lot of foul, vulgar language that most people seem to enjoy hearing in a movie these days. Ithas a good plot(story for those not inclinded to expand their vocabulary), isn't a really bloody, gory movie. and was written by a couple of really good writers of westerns. buy it if you like good westerns.Movie Review: "Bad Choices Must Run In The Family" ~ Hercules Meets Pale Rider
Summary: 3 Stars
Synopsis: The '07 made-for-television `Avenging Angel' is a somewhat entertaining western starring Kevin Sorbo as the avenging angel known as "the Preacher." You've seen this storyline many times before, idealistic, God-fearing man stands up against evil only to have his family killed and left with nothing but thoughts of revenge. He returns to the scene of the crime one year later and sees the same form of injustice taking place again perpetrated by the same group of bad guys. Looks like a good time for payback.
Critique: Sorry to disappoint all the Sorbo fans out there (which I am one of) but this is not a -5 Star- film. The first thing I found to be quite noticeable was the abrupt breaks in the presentation which of course one should expect in a film made for television. However in this case these interruptions were especially annoying because the storyline always seemed to have advanced during the intermission leaving the viewer to feel as though something had been missed. I also found the dialogue to be predictable and uninspired leading to stilted, predictable and one-dimensional performances.
As for Kevin Sorbo? Sorbo is at his best when he is allowed to inject humor and whimsy into his performance. Here in `Avenging Angel' he was confined in a role requiring a stoic, sullen individual. Such a portrayal doesn't play to Kevin's talents and hence doesn't deliver the type of performance his fans have come to expect and enjoy.
Positives: Kevin's real life wife Sam Jenkins has a small role at the beginning of the film as his soon to be deceased wife. It's always nice to see them on the screen together.
My Rating: Worth a watch, but probably not something to add to your permanent DVD collection unless you're a big fan of the big guy, -3 Stars-.
Movie Review: A Preacher becomes a bounty hunter
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie reminds of some older 40's westerns.
The bad guy is really bad and runs the town, the good guy is a little confused, but basically good at heart. The loss of his wife and daughter
by being blown up inside his church leaves this preacher a pretty broken man. He resists the temptation of revenge, but when the colonel tries to do the same thing all over to a new set of people,
he seems to get his bearings back...
Movie Review: "Averaging" Angel
Summary: 3 Stars
Rather classic western plot actors performers less than average scene and action not very convincingMovie Review: Avenging Angle (2007)
Summary: 2 Stars
I like Sorbo and some parts have some good dry humur, but I should have rented it first to check it out. If you are a B movie collector or a spagetti western collector this is a good choice.
