Summary: One of Schwarzeneggar's better films.
Review: It was really intriguing and scary for the first 3/4 of the film, but then it just deteriorated into a blow-everything-up-and-empty-clips-into-this-and-that type movie. Still, A.S. played the role of a grieving, intelligent cop well. Gabriel Byrne was made to play Satan. If you're a fan of either of those actors or just an overall horror movie fan, it's worth buying or renting.

Summary: Not the best Arnold Movie
Review: End of Days is an ok Schwarzenegger movie but this movie is not the best in the Arnold franchise. Gabriel Byrne gives a great performance, and there are some cool special effects. The story is a little weak though. I would recommend renting this before making a purchase unless you are a diehard Arnold fan.

Summary: TERRIBLE--RUN AWAY!
Review: A complete waste of money, not even worth seeing. Not even worth one star--but Amazon.com doesn't give an option for no stars.

Summary: Gory, Unpleasant, and Boring
Review: Like the wretched "Stigmata", this Schwarzenegger vehicle is a gorefest of truly stomach churning violence, masquerading as a religious fable. It's something of an improvement over the pretentious "Stigmata"; however, its use of religious imagery as a means for grotesque violence (people being crucified to a ceiling, having their tongues cut out, etc.) is likely to offend atheists as well as Christians. I found this film annoying enough to hit "scan" for the last 20-25 minutes. I've sat through equally unpleasant films ("Seven" comes to mind) but "End of Days" is predictable and boring. There are some pluses, however. The soundtrack is the best Dolby Digital 5.1 I've heard in a long time, making excellent use of the split surrounds for some very enjoyable sound effects. Picture quality is superb, and the lighting and makeup are effective without being garish. Schwarzenegger's performance is fairly close to convincing, given that he's got a cookie-cutter role to deal with. His sidekick, nicely played by Kevin Pollack, provides some much-needed comic relief. And Gabriel Byrne as the Prince of Lies is good as usual; although after this film and "Stigmata" I bet he's telling his agent not to send him any more scripts for pseudo-religious trash. Apparently Schwarzenegger's fans enjoy this one, although he's not really the straight up action hero of the type he plays in "True Lies" and "Commando." However, I'd only recommend this movie if you're in the mood for more flash than substance --- and if you've got a cast iron stomach.

Summary: Excellent DVD, Fun Movie
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, and I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger did a very good job playing a much darker and deeper character than ever before. The story is not entirely original, but the "Milennium Hype" is capitalized on very well here. "End Of Days" is a roller-coaster ride with twists and turns, great action scenes, and enough chills to make an esquimo uncomfortable. The special effects are top-notch. Overall, it's more enjoyable than the standard "end of the world" fare because, while it remains serious and dark, it also does not take itself too seriously. The result is some witty humor (although don't be fooled, there's not alot of it!) and great action scenes. I was very impressed with the DVD itself as well. Excellent sound and picture, fantastic extras. This is why people buy DVD players.

Summary: Mildly entertaining, intellectually non-provacative
Review: Let me begin by saying I like most Schwarzenegger movies, and I think that Arnold's acting talent in this flick is as stable as any other flick he's been in. My primary beef is the plot. The devil materializes out of a New York sewer to have sex with a woman to bring about the "end of days," but there is no historical background laid out for the viewer to understand just exaxctly why this sexual encounter is necessary. Was the sexual encounter in itself instrumental to opening the gates of hell? Is the potential offspring resulting from the sexual union relevant? Whatever the answer, down-and-out cop Arnold's job is to mamke sure that the devil doesn't get to the woman before Jan 1, 2000. For the special effects afficiandos, there are plenty of guns, explosions, and nifty surreal scenes. Gabriel Byrne does a great satan role, but I felt that some of his lines about slamming the Almighty were a little too reminiscent of Al Pacino's lines in " The Devil's Advocate." There are a lot of "book of revelations" doomsday movies out there with much more sophisticated plots, but few have the special effects this one has. I think it had much more impact on the big screen. Watch it with low expectations and you won't bee disappointed.

Summary: Slam-Bang Action Thriller!
Review: I went to see the new Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, simply because he'd been out of the business for a long while, and I really missed his mindless action thrillers like "Terminator 2", and "Predator". I can now safely say that End of Days ranks among his elete films too. I read a lot of reviews on this movie on the internet, and most thought that it was a bad movie in general, always bashing the story over and over...well, yes, the story is pretty far-fetched, but what Arnold movie's plot isn't? It's hard to overlook all the holes in the plot, but it really makes up with wonderfully crafted action sequences. From Arnold hanging on a cord, and getting yanked along by a speeding helicopter across the skyscrapers of New York City, to the explosive subway part, or the terrifying church scene, End of Days is a treat to watch!

Summary: Arnold is not "bahhck" with this film.
Review: End of Days is one of those bothersome, tiring films that take a cliche and ride it for all its worth. In the meantime, viewers are subjected to a bad, done before script,hammy acting, and violence out the wazoo! I had some higher hopes for this film ( at least as far as you can hope for with a Schwarzenegger film)as the trailers made it look like he was typed a little bit out of cast. But as soon as Arnold has to save Robin Tunney from the the incarnation of the Devil ( played very badly by the usually enjoyable Gabriel Byrne), he turns back to the action hero everyone loved before his surgery sidelined his career. Ultimately, it is a predictible film at best, and one that won't put Arnold back on the map. Oddly enough to mention in a review of a movie such as this, I would recommend instead the very cute Jingle All the Way for a different side of Mr Pumping Iron!

Summary: Outstanding, but there is a better devil
Review: I simply loved this movie. It's certainly one of Arnold's best ! I think that the ones to have seen it and didn't like it's because people were expecting to see a Religious movie, but this is an action-thriller one. Gabril Byrne has always been one of the greatest actors I've seen. Although he plays a great Devil, but there is no way that he can be compared to Al Pacino in the Devil's Advocate !

Summary: Far fetched story actually not that bad
Review: I went into this movie thinking that it was going to be bad. I didn't think Arnold could pull off a horror/action flick like this, but he actually did. The action wasn't as intense as some of his past movies, but it was still there. And like many other of his movies there were some impressive special effects, particularly the scene in the church with the devil himself. I didn't think i would like this movie, but I wouldn't mind seeing it again.
