Movie Reviews of The Prophecy 3: The Ascent

Movie Review: The Prophecy 3
Summary: 5 Stars

The only problem with this, the last part of "The Prophecy" series, Rather the last part with Christopher Walken, is that it was too short. I loved this part better than part 2 and I felt all the characters in it played their parts extremely well.

Movie Review: Salvation or Damnation...
Summary: 4 Stars

After the "The Prophecy 2" there was a 3 year gap before the release of what at the time was going to be the final movie in the 'Prophecy' series, to serve as a bookend for a trilogy. However, in 2005 'The Prophecy' series returned, but that's for another time and another review.

"The Prophecy 3: The Ascent" picks up around 16-18 years after the events of "The Prophecy 2". A new dark angel named Pyriel, not satisfied with simply blocking humans from entering into Heaven decides to attempt to eradicate all humans. To do this he has sent one of his followers to kill the Nephilim(a child born of a human and an angel), named Danyael. Danyael is not aware of his destiny to be mankind's salvation from annihilation and opening up the gates of Heaven, and is gunned down before he can fully realize his potential. However, Danyael is no mere mortal, as his self-appointed secret bodyguard, the fallen angel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) had figured out years ago when he attempted to kill him before he was out of the womb. Gabriel, who is now human after the events of "The Prophecy 2", discovers that Danyael has been resurrected and takes it upon himself to guide the boy in embracing his destiny to fight Pyriel and save humanity.

This 3rd installment in the franchise was a great sequel and at the time a very satisfying ending to 'The Prophecy' saga. It brought everything full circle, and was a great story of destiny and repentance. Great fight sequences, the best in the series to date. Top-notch acting and writing, rarities in direct-to-DVD releases, made this series the best religious/sci-fi thrillers ever made. The entire series is a must see.

"The Prophecy 3: The Ascent" is rated R for violence, language, and brief nudity.

Movie Review: Good ending and Christopher Walken does it again ! ! !
Summary: 5 Stars

Excellent movie, excellent ending of a trilogy of movies, of course I *think* part 2 is out of print after I bought it but I did see a box set so hopefully all isnt lost :)

Again, Christopher Walken plays Gabriel the former leader ov the angelic rebelion in Heaven which Ill stop and not say anymore as not to give it away for any who have not seen this, but there is a super nice twist to the ending which really makes you think :)

Enjoy!

Movie Review: Why Did They Make this Stuff?,
Summary: 1 Stars

Okay, I enjoyed the first one, and got through the second one but this one is just kicking a guy in the groin. Walken is reduced to a silly bum and hardly has any screen time. He was so wicked and charismatic in the first two. The plot, if you call a contrived story that, is about some new human that is supposed to fix everything up. The editing is bad, the story is confusing and not even worth our attention and people come and go like an all night bus stop. What was even stupidier that all that was the goth-inspired angel that is the bad guy in here. I was really trembling in my pants as I saw him, gheeze. He was some jerk in long hair with too much bad make-up. If they think about making a fourth one they might want to bother getting a decent director and writer.
