Summary: Bloated, ultraviolent and badly executed..
Review: It's a shame to give only one star to a film which obviously took a lot of time, effort, talent and money to create. But whoever induced Schwarzenegger into this one served him badly. His role calls for him to be both an action hero and a sensitive, conflicted protagonist. Regarding the former, he becomes more a punching bag in successive scenes of gratuitious violence (though somewhat less gory, thankfully, than they might have been). And his portrayal of the "sensitive" aspects falls flat. It comes across as a parody of Arnold. Maybe that was the intent? The best character in the film is Gabriel Byrne's Satan. His Lucifer at least delivers some humorous wry cynicism. The viewer finds himself almost rooting for him vice Arnold. The film's premise is not implausible as entertainment: "The Omen" pulled it off well. The film's flaw is its execution. The makers just could not tear themselves away from gratuitous violence, obscuring the plot line, and from excessive even if well-done special effects for the sake of special effects. And perhaps the saddest thing is the directoral and cast comments in the DVD extras. They really thought they were producing something novel, significant and worthwhile. Hollywood inbreeding - how disconnected they are, what hubris. Lastly, I have a good home theater system and the sound on the DVD appeared to be lacking in the very deep bass. Deep down percussive punch was absent. The sound was better, in fact, in the actor, director, and special effects commentary extras on the DVD than during the film itself. Go figure.

Summary: Worst Schwarzenegger Movie Since Last Action Hero
Review: This movie started OK and then degenerated into a bunch of Action/Horror cliches Which left me fast forwarding to the end. By the end of this movie you don't care if the good guy's win, or die.

Review: I rented this and MAN I thought it was awesome, The whole time I cracked a few jokes. I am definately buying this flick soon. The people who gave this movie bad reviews obviously take the whole thing too seriously its a movie people, you are supposed to suspend belief and just watch the presentation if you do that and stop trying to make something out of it you would actually enjoy yourself.

Summary: Excellant! Arnold's best!
Review: This film features Arnold's best performance to date. Instead of being a straight-and-hollow action picture, it's focus is more on suspense than action. Everybody involved should be proud of this movie. It's a wonderful film with engaging performances, splendid special effects, and a well-thought out plot. Buy it on DVD (like I did) and enjoy!

Summary: This is what DVDs are supposed to be!
Review: The picture is excellent, the sound is excellent, and the features are comprehensive. The story is....er...well I guess you can't have everything. The plot is kind of silly, there's no denying that. They have an adequate explanation for the date thing I guess, if you can suspend your disbelief long enouph. Get this, 2000 years ago a group of monks calculated (with what an abacus?) the position the stars needed to be in for Satan's return. Of course, makes sense to me. I have no idea how they would even know the alignment of the stars, let alone their trajectories, but ok. The look of the film is fabulous. Rich earth tones saturate every scene so that the whole film feels like hell. Gabrial Byrne is awesome as Satan, and that new girl is ok. Arnold is,well...Arnold. He's big, he's cool, he can't act his way out of a wet paper bag. But we don't care! Look, the special effects are cool, the action sequences are neat, and I really liked the end. This was a good film and presented respectfully on this DVD.

Summary: Yet again, a good suspense flick ruined in the end.
Review: Like House on Haunted Hill, End of Days is a terrific combination of suspense and thrills that is sacrificed in the end for cheesy special effects that do nothing to help the main plot along. Old Arnold plays Jericho, a former cop who learns that Satan has come back to impregnate a woman and begin the end of days. He seeks the woman out, only to find that Satan, played by Gabrielle Byrne, has turned all of his friends into workers of hell. The suspense builds throughout the movie, yet the ending scene in which Jericho and Satan have their final showdown brings the movie down from its status of thriller to cheeser. Gabrielle Byrne deserves credit for playing Satan in this movie and a priest in Stigmata. Rent it before buying please.

Summary: one of those movies that twists religion.
Review: This movie is totally ridiculous. A burned-out cop (Arnold) with little or no faith stopping the devil who seems to have a Y2K plus a girl problem? hollywood movies like this is another perfect example of twisting biblical text to wow an unwary audience. A totally disappointing experience. Mediocre acting combined with a pseudo-religious plot equals another movie flop. Watch Last Action Hero instead...that was a far better movie than this.

Summary: ok...but arnold could do better
Review: this movie was aight for the most part but arnold schwarzenegger could do a lot better. just look at some of his earlier pics like the terminator 1&2 and true lies. that's arnold at his best work. not trying to fight satan in a very disturbing picture that almost don't go anywhere plot wise but does have some very well done action sequences and special effects.

Summary: Get ready for the End of Days!
Review: It was a great movie, Arnold was great as the fallen hero, Jericho Cane, saving the seemingly doomed Christine York. The part about the devil's number being 666, 999 upside down was pretty cool.
