Summary: COMPETES WITH "KILLER TOMATOES"
Review: My son dragged me to END OF DAYS. He loves Schwarzenegger action advernture and so I was a "good Dad" and we saw it.

Halfway through the movie, he apologized to me. I told him, not to worry ... it may become a cult classic that competes with the 1950s "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES;" considered such a lousey film it's badness is fascinating. However, once in awhile END OF DAYS has a few interesting frames .. but rarly more than one minute's worth. Supposedly, TOMATOES has barely one good frame in it.

Maybe in time, END OF DAYS will be come a cult classic ... but not quite yet!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He's Back!
Review: Okay, the critics deep-sixed it, a bunch of reviewers here on Amazon poo-poo'ed it, BUT...it is an Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle and I, like a zillion other fans, love it for that reason alone. It's not the best script, but so what? How many best scripts has Arnie had? His presence alone makes it worth watching. It's all here...action, great FX, and everything else that has endeared us all to him. Ya gotta give it a fair shake.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thought it would be better
Review: When I heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger would be in a religious action movie, I was very surprised and I first had no idea that this movie was meant to be scary. So when I bought the movie on DVD I expected a lot of great effects and much big action with a biblical story. But what I saw was a horror movie with some very gory elements and not very much action. All the best action and Special Effects is shown at the end of the movie.

First, I was pleasantly surprised, but as soon as Arnold tried to cry and became a character where you are supposed to feel sorry for, it became unbelievable. And if a movie is unrealistic, it is not scary.

Of course are there still some great effects and very good music by Everlast (I love the song "So Long" and the videoclip which is shown on the DVD) The action and the story are good as well and the extra's and the menu on the DVD is great but Arnold Schwarzenegger doesn't belong in a movie like this. He also doesn't belong in a movie like "Jingle All the Way", which was bad too. He belongs in a movie like "Total Recall" or "Terminator: Judgement Day".

So Arnold, please make action movies again in the future, because those movies were good!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: NOT SO BAD AS THEY SAY !

Summary: So many hate this film for the wrong reasons.
Review: I attended this film with two of my best buddies, one of whom is a serious Schwarzenegger fan,so he stayed behind when the other and I walked out a little before the end. I'm an Arnold fan, as well, but this movie was horribly written and poorly acted, and perhaps worst of all, it was viciously blasphemous. I am not Catholic, but I am a Christian, and I took offense to much of this film. For my friends' sake, I endured it until the final scene, when a possessed Schwarzenegger looks up at a portrait of the agonal Christ on the cross, and says: "you died for nothing." I stood and walked out, along with a friend of mine. This final slap in the face was the culmination of a series of blasphemies that span the entire length of the film. The most disturbing fact, however, is that most of the moviegoing public has ceased to notice these things, or ceased to care.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could it be..SATIN?
Review: I've recently bought the End of Days DVD and watched it (of course) and became lightheaded. End of Days was a great movie, or least that was how they wanted it to be. Instead, the movie came to me as the exact same as every story told dealing with the ressurection of the devil. He must come to earth, kill many people for no reason, and impregnate one lucky lady to bear his devil-child. I don't know, but it seemed all to farmiliar to me. With that said and done, you must know that it wasn't a total bomb, it was good in some aspects; they told a story, but they told it good. With great special effects and a nice cast, the movie can really can reach to you and scare you at times, but I'm tired of always seeing the devil looking so smug and dandy..ahhh! The DVD feature menus are very well done, with some nice music for it, a plus on my board. But I suggest a definate rent on this one first.

Summary: Typical Hollywood Action Trash
Review: I admit, the 'Terminator' movies were fun. It was pretty much the first time we saw science fiction mixed with action but it was delivered in a way that made it fun to watch. 'End of Days' is the antithesis of that. I don't even know what this is. If 'Rosemary's Baby' or the uncountable number of films you could compare this too were never made, it would still be sub-par at best. The story is cheesy, period. Satan, for no apparent reason, has to impregnate a woman on a certain date to have a son or something. Big muscular, depressed ex-cop must defeat the forces of evil while fighting inner demons (no pun intended). I have never been this bored for a complete movie. Even the top of the line special effects couldn't salvage this mess of a movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not a Very Good Movie!
Review: For many years what seperated Arnold from Sly was the script choices. There was a strech were Arnold was in some awesome and orginal flicks. However End of Days is not one of them.

The DVD contains a directors commentary. Why? So the director can talk about the bad story and acting? The film does have cool special effects but other than that its just plain old dumb.

If you can rent this for $1.00 or less its not a bad deal. But I do not recommend full price renting or buying of this DVD. This film could have been potentially very good, the idea is neat but it fails on all levels.

Arnold is great. I love almost all his films. This was not the comeback vehicle for him. You are better off waiting for T2 on DVD or watching Predetor or Total Recall.

This movie was a waste of Arnold's talent and my time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: 1 star is just enough
Review: This is one of the lousiest films Arnold has ever made! I usually enjoy his films, and because they are usually so ridiculous I find myself laughing more than being scared. *End of Days* was too pathetic to laugh; it was just plain stupid and gory - very gory. (Do not let children watch this!) As usual the script is lousy; special effects are nevertheless amazing.

The only reason this film deserves one star is Gabriel Byrne: He was the perfect actor to play Satan.

If you're looking for *T2* and the like, stay away from this. *End of Days* is in NO way similar to Arnold's previous films. If you want to waste your time, the way I did, take your chances and rent or buy this film.
