Movie Reviews of The Prophecy 3: The Ascent
Movie Review: Gabriel Is A Homless Pan Handler !!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Christopher Walken is brilliant again in this third installment of the Prophecy series!! Watch and listen to him closely and you will enjoy these three films greatly!!! He is the glue that holds the films together and he out shines all other actors in this trilogy!!! ENJOY HIM !!!!Movie Review: The Ascent
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed it very much. When 3 came out, I wasn't exactly sure how it was going to work out, considering how it ended with the 2nd movie. I was highly amused with the diner scene, which was a connection with the 1st movie.Movie Review: ATHLETIC ANGELS
Summary: 2 Stars
This third entry in the PROPHECY series is the weakest of the lot. I've seen all of them except the second one, but this one is incoherent and muddled and Dave Buggatto's performance as Danyael is really bad. It's hard to tell the good angels from the bad angels, and even Christopher Walken seems bored with it all, as he must have been since he didn't show up for four and five. Obviously trying to lure in THE MATRIX audience, the movie features too many acrobatic battles and chases, and the ending is a real copout. Brad Dourif has a cameo as what else? a looney zealot. Fortunately the next two are more entertaining.Movie Review: The Ascent DVD

Third installment of the character. Not as good as the first, but still enjoyable.Movie Review: "My Kingdom For A Straight Answer" ~ And A Better Ending
Summary: 3 Stars
And so after three movies the 'Second War in Heaven' saga finally comes to a conclusion. Thank God! [get it, thank God]. It appears that the amazingly original concept and dark, cutting edge humor that generated the masterpiece 'The Prophecy' and an admirable follow-up in 'The Prophecy II' eventually ran out of ideas and what little was left became the disappointing 'Prophecy 3.'
The once formidable fallen Archangel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) introduced in the first feature film, the one with a gaze so terrifying your heart stopped everytime he appeared on screen, wasn't even a shadow of his former self by the third film. Now lowered to the status of mere mortal poor Gabriel seems to have lost not only his angelic powers, but his once sharp wit and laserlike tongue as well. His remarks are now trite, whimsical and all but senile in nature. My how the mighty have fallen.
Unfortunately the storyline doesn't fair much better. What began as a potentially good film simply failed to deliver the apocalytic climax promised. The offspring of the mortal woman and angel from 'The Prophecy II' is now grown. His name is Danyael (Dave Buzzotta) and he is a Nephilim, part angel and part human, chosen by God to bring an end to the rebellion. The time of the end is drawing near and Pyriel, the Angel of Genocide is coming to destroy the human race. As you probably already guessed by now the task of facing and defeating Pyriel has fallen to Danyael.
Positives: Even though this isn't Walken at his best he still makes it worth watching. The special effects surrounding the coming of Pyriel are rather well done and Danyael's girlfriend Maggie (Kayren Ann Butler) is quite attractive.
If you're a fan of 'The Prophecy' and a complusive completist as I am I guess you'll have to buy the DVD.
