Movie Reviews of Gabriel
Movie Review: Watchable, but has unfulfilled potential.
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was good, but it could have used a lot of improvement. It was constantly dark and dreary, and quite monotonous in that sense. I was excited to see a movie with the archangel Gabriel as the main character, but I feel like the film could have been a lot more epic given the subject matter.
Movie Review: Dark, intense, and overall quite good
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw a preview for this movie when I was checking previews on a movie rental service. I love good vs evil plots and I was intrigued with the whole idea of this movie. I was surprised with how dark it was at first but I thought the acting was well done and the storyline was very good. I thought they could have went into the characters a little more, but it is quite understandable since they had such a low budget. If you love the Matrix, Underworld, Blade movies then it is quite possible this movie is for you. I will watch it again. Movie Review: Poor Plot and Setting
Summary: 2 Stars
This movie has a very poor plot and unbelievable story line that lends itself to the barely made it thru watching it category. It's dark and dreary and uninspiring. I'm not sure why it has received so many good reviews.Movie Review: Very disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this movie thinking it was going to be like "The prophecy" but it turned out to be more like "A clockwork orange" It was very hard to follow. I also found that the characters lacked motivation in the storyline to justify their actions. I couldn't identify with or sympathize with any of the characters. The ending was the worst I've seen in a long time. I just sat on my couch and said "what?" in disbelief and confusion.
Movie Review: Gabriel . . . a dark movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Normally, I like movies that deal with angels. The plot for the movie "Gabriel" sounded good. I was VERY disappointed with this movie. I thought it was overly bloody, no special effects of angels with wings or flying (like the mini-series, "The Fallen" based on books by T.Sniegoski, which I thought was an awesome plot of fallen angels & their offspring). The scenes in "Gabriel" were dark (supposedly because the earth/mankind had fallen to evil and darkness). I think it could've been better done. Somehow angels with (man-made) guns doesn't quite fit right, maybe mystical swords would've been better. But supposedly when Gabriel became human he lost his powers, so I guess he had to resort to guns? But somehow he still had "some" powers evidenced in his ability to sense things, forcing people to tell him what he wanted to know, or healing, etc. In general the story line itself was poor: the story of an angel trying to bring light to mankind, without subcoming to the "human" vices. He searches for other angels who came but failed at defeating the darkness and evil angels, he tries to remind them of their mission and purpose. Personally I found that there was very little depth to the characters, it was hard to identify with anyone. Maybe some people might actually like it. I for one, think it was a waste of my money, I should've rented it first . . .
