Rating: Summary: A LOT OF DIFERENCES IN VHS AND DVD FORMAT Review: Boy, I saw this movie in VHS and I recently have it in DVD. THERE SO MANY DIFFERENCES ! Right in the beginning you won't see Thomas Dagget talking to that voice (whose I don't know who it belongs), no, you'll see Simon talking about the first war looking down to an angel's skeleton! In the first fight sequence you see the bad angel arriving in a great and new sequence that only appears in THE PROPHECY 2 as well in the first encounter between Thomas and Gabriel in the church (a new footage that appears only in THE PROPHECY 2). Before Walken takes information about Mary with children, it shows him waiting and seeing the horizon with thunders and a cute sunrise. And skipping to the end, a whole new sequence with angels in the sky (that also were used in THE PROPHECY 2) and the little girl, Mary, 'putting out' the general spirit (The same mounth effect they used with Eddie Murphy in the NUTTY PROFESSOR) and to add a great finale a new song in THE END CREDITS !
Rating: Summary: Walken rocks the Horror World Review: I may be no saint, but this movie questioned even my faith. I am by no means an active outdoorsman, I am the kind who likes movies and good movies. Walken, off the red-hot Pulp Fiction, was signed as the lead character, Gabriel, and did one helluva job. I never doubted for a second that the second Prophecy movies would be as bad, but this is the one to see. Finally, if you doubt me, rent the movie yourself. Thank you
Rating: Summary: Must see - Maybe Buy! Review: This is a very good movie, and I recommend anyone rent it, especially if you like Christopher Walken. But I don't think it is really worth buying. Rent it one night and watch it, sleep on it and maybe watch it again before returning it. I doubt you'll ever want to watch it again. Don't get me wrong, it's a great movie, but not every movie is worth owning and watching many times.
Rating: Summary: The Best Horror-type Movie I've Ever Seen! Review: I rented this movie just because I'm a sucker for anything involving angels (hey I see them as a mythical animal more then a religious thing) and didn't expect much out of this, but WOW! was I wrong! Christopher Walken just took this movie and ran with it, it's absolutly wonderful!
Rating: Summary: "Even in Heaven, the Angels Carried Savage Weapons" Review: This is/was/ and forever will be a movie in which put me in complete shock. Most Christians know about the a great war in heaven.... but after seeing this film they will question theselves about a second war. If you are tired of the blood and gore type of horror movies and want a new fix, I highly recommend this celestial master piece!
Rating: Summary: thought-provoking thrilling entertainment Review: This was a great movie that I've seen over and over. The stars are great, the premise is interesting, and the movie should be considered a cult classic. Worth seeing!
Rating: Summary: If you were a soul, where would you hide? Review: An excellent good vs. evil flick! Loved every minute of Walken's talented portrayal of Gabriel, the archangel who's waged a war from his own jealousy. Followed by a sequel, but the original stands alone as the best! Arriving on Earth he is in search of the dark soul of a warrior which has been hidden inside a little girl, but Gabriel doesn't count on a fight from a novice priest turned cop and the child's school teacher. The devil is eager to prevent a second Hell emerging from the second war in heaven. A great film! I advise you not to see the sequel, yet if you must have another movie to relieve your disappointment.
Rating: Summary: PROPHECIES SAY WALKEN WILL RULE Review: The Prophecy was by no means a box office hit, unfortunately. Playing on the good vs.evil theme the prophecy takes on huge characters and throws 'em at you with true power. Especially noticeable is Walken, who plays the hateful yet somewhat hilarious, Gabriel. Gabriel it seems has decided to revolt against heaven, becuase of God's preferred treatment of humans. This can only lead to epic battles and even an appearance by the devil, played amazingly by Viggo Mortensen. Truly a film worth watching, although i would recommend the sequel much more than than the original. This is a stage show for Walken at his best, which increases the films worth. The DVD format offers the film you can get on any other format but with primed up sound and picture, it is the story and characters that make it worth the money to buy this edition though, so hop on it and buy the sequel as well.
Rating: Summary: How Could They Miss? Review: The two editorial reviews, while capturing aspects of the film, still fall short of describing it accurately. To say that the plot was "incoherent" is a confession of observational and conceptual ineptitude which I shall not address. The film stands well on its own and is quite comprehensible to anyone who grew up conscious in Western culture. I found the performances of Walken and Koteas gripping--and Mortensen steals the end. The Prophecy earns five stars.
Rating: Summary: Prophecy II is better Review: I have seen one and two, and by far two was more constructed and thoughtout. I suggest rent it before you buy it, so you won't be disappointed.
