Movie Reviews of The Prophecy
Movie Review: Walken at his best!
Summary: 4 Stars
As Archangel Gabriel Walken infuses a sense of humanity and humor to an otherwise rather dark film. The plot is rather convoluted but does bring up some interesting ideas but it's Walken that makes this movie work. The other actors do a good job but get overshadowed by Walken's performance.Be prepared, though. The Prophecy is rather dark and downright brutal at times. It definitely shows a lot of negative aspects of humanity but there is hope at the end.
If you want to see Walken at his best see this!
Movie Review: False Prophet
Summary: 1 Stars
A great concept, decent performances, equals a not so good film. I could of course go into the story a lot more but why you can read the synopsis yourself. Get your fast forward button ready. Skip the cop parts straight to the Christopher Walken scenes.Movie Review: Had Potential
Summary: 1 Stars
This movie had great potential. A film about an Angel angry with God for favouring Humans over Angels, sounds great. But unfortunately, it fails to deliver. The movie places too much emphasis on Christianity, Church and Jesus. This gives the impression that the film is primarily targetted at Christians, while ignoring everyone else. Not good.Movie Review: Walken from Heaven with a taste of Hell
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a die-hard Christopher Walken fan and this is by far the best movie of his career (the 2nd best being Prophecy 2). Sure this movie is about the battle between Heaven and Hell for the destiny of the entire human race, but who cares? It's Walken that matters. As the holy-turned-evil angel Gabriel he is extremely creepy and powerfully scary, but the awesome twist is that he is hilarious as well. Some actors have good scenes and some actors can steal certain scenes, but Walken is so twistedly diabolical and shockingly funny that he steals the entire movie. So much that you find yourself dying for the next scene to happen just so you can see more of him. I was very surprised at how Biblical the film is without being Biblical at all. It's very smart that way. Very spiritually exciting in an epic Biblical possibility kind of way. And the action sequences and effects are charged with power. This is truly a masterpiece and the best "Biblical-esque" science fiction action/horror film I have ever seen. GOD and the Devil and the End of the world. But who cares? It's all about Christopher Walken!Movie Review: Entertains...for about five minutes
Summary: 2 Stars
Confusing, tedious supernatural horror film about evil arch-angel Gabriel (Christopher Walken) trying to create a second hell (or something) by using the soul of a psychotic general from a Korean war...think. Characters too silly, mythology too thick and story too boring. Only note worthy aspect is Viggo Mortensen as Lucipher. Followed by two sequels.
