Summary: Takes itself much too seriously (SPOILER IN LAST PARAGRAPH)
Review: This film is much too dark and serious for its own good. Nobody is happy, nobody smiles, and just about everybody dies with gratuitous gruesomeness. The only one who seems to have any fun at all is Satan!The effects, video and audio are no less than you would expect from a big budget thriller, but don't even bother trying to think about the storyline. The DVD itself is impeccably presented, with plenty of goodies. But Arnie, Arnie... what were you thinking? What -- no one liners, no humour, and you actually buy it at the end? What happened to your superhero powers? Sorry, but this is not how I like my Arnie movies. Mindless I don't mind (so to speak)... but a FUNLESS Arnie movie? No thanks.

Summary: Gab you're the only good in this sh...film
Review: Well what can I say? Arnie chasing the Satan with a 9mm? Well I don't think this is the movie we need! Who would believe that a man can just run away from the Devil and hide from it that easily? I mean come on! The Devil is not that easy to deceive. Ok Gabriel was great again I can say that. That is why this film is two not one star. Not even worth it to watch!

Summary: End of days
Review: I'm a big Arnold fan, It pains me to say this , but this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The plot was very formulaic, the characters lacked development, the special effects were old hat. I like to suspend reallity for a good sci-fi flick but this movie was entirely non-plausible from the very beginning. Had it not been for the audio effects that really shined on my home theater system, the movie would be better placed on mystery science theater. Dont waste your time, watch the weather channel this evening instead.

Summary: Gabriel brings out the best of it!
Review: A great movie, not only thanks to Byrne but also Arnold, nice script, good directing and nice SFX. After Terminator & Total Recall Arnold best film yet... Intense and brutal as an action movie should be... If you like action, this is a movie for you, and for others as well. I usually don`t like action films but this one is honestly a very good movie, see it!

Summary: Arnold, Please Stick to the One-Liners
Review: Overall, an action-packed, special-effects packed movie. However, a little different than the typical Arnold movie. First of all, it's darker than most of his movies. Also, the movie tries to go a little deeper into Arnold's character than norm too. Big mistake. This requires ACTING. I'm sorry, Arnold just can't pull that sort of thing off. The combo of Arnold trying to do more than he can acting-wise, and some really bad overall dialougue makes for 2 or 3 points in the movie where there is unintended laughter. Not good. This time around, Arnold is fighting the Devil himself. How do you fight the ultimate bad guy? Well, of course, with bigger guns! But, if you like Arnold, and like big time special effects, it's cool.

Summary: Arnold vs Satan...Apocalypse Later On, Maybe..
Review: ...it turns out being great fun to look at, and it's a good action-thriller, but it's nowheres as good as his two Terminator films. Score one for Arnold for having a decent film to end his 90's career. Arnold's not a dramatic actor, but he sure has many a funny line in here...also, I kept waiting for the Stay Puff Marshmellow Man or Slimer to start creeping in the New York streets-- who says the end of the world has to start in NYC? I know of plenty of places that should be considered alternatives...Look for similarites between this and two other Gabriel Byrne films "Stigmata" and "The Usual Suspects"...Recent films to look for Satan in are "Needful Things" (surprisingly good) and Pacino in overdrive in "The Devil's Advocate"...

Summary: Powerful stuff but no Stigmata
Review: The DVD case tells you that this film is "more chilling than The Exorcist ... more haunting than The Sixth Sense..." I think it is totally wrong to compare this movie to either. End of Days is a good shoot 'em up film with great effects and a powerful story. I did not find it chilling (or really scary) but I was gripped. Arnie plays a burnt out special forces guy (who feels guilty about the death of his wife and children) who gets embroiled in protecting a girl who has been marked for consummation by Satan. Arnie does what Arnie does best: shooting, blowing things up and being tough (but this character has a little more depth and vulnerability than his other guises). Gabriel Byrne does a great turn as Satan. Ok it is nothing like Pacino's attempt but it is convincingly downplayed. Robin Tunney seems to have grown up a lot since The Craft and portays the object of Satan's lust in a suitably bewildered and tearful manner. The Devil has one night to impregnate a girl and bring on a thousand years of darkness. The Church are prepared to kill the girl. The religious twists are not really entered into in any depth but they are there as a backdrop to what is essentially an action film. Definitely worth seeing, (especially the Devil's temptation of Jericho: the Arnie character) but do not be caught up in the hype. You might jump a couple of times but if you want to be really scared watch something else.

Summary: Hey, it's vintage Arnold
Review: "End of Days" is a good movie. The storyline is great, and Arnold is his usual self. Yes there are some unbelievable things in it, but what do you expect from an Arnold movie? These movies aren't made to analyze and prod over every single mistake, they are made to sit back and marvel at the spectacular special effects. I decided to give this four stars after seeing it for the third time.....the movie really grew on me. Possibly my favorite part of this whole DVD is the two rarely seen music videos by Everlast and Rob Zombie. Just another reason to buy DVD insted of VHS. Also the sound quality is great, you can hear every little piece of cement fall when Arnold is in the Church. Overall a great DVD!

Summary: THIS TIME HE REALLY IS BACK
Review: I've just finished watching this movie; I am still shocked at how good this film actually is. After reading many less than appreciative reviews about this movie, I approached it warily. However, within the first few minutes I knew that this film was going to offer something different, a new approach to action. Firstly I would like to make it clear that this is not a typical corny Arnie movie(although to me as a great fan, this is not a bad thing) as I have heard it condemned as on many occasions. Really it is more a horror movie given the action treatment, and Arnie actually refrains from making too many of his famous one-liners. Although the plot has been the source of some critisicism, I actually found it intriguing; although films about the "end of days" may not be an entirely original concept, the way in which this film portrays that concept is. It is simply a classic good versus evil story, modernised for todays action/horror audience. Another very positive aspect of the film is the script. This often seems to be the last thing that makers of action flicks seem to be concerned with, with End of Days this is not the case. Although there may be a valid argument to say that Arnies character and the interaction of other characters in the film are just cliche's, parodies of so many other films, i.e. suicidal, drunken ex cop who lost family, teams up with a beautiful, vulnerable young woman etc. However, I believe that the characters work well with the premise of the movie, and that this isn't just an unimaginative "cop out" by the script writer. I actually think this is one of Arnie's best movies, up there with classics such as Predator, Terminator, Total Recall, Commando and The Running Man. This film signals a return to form and a new sophistication in action for one of the greatest action heroes of our time. The Dvd is complimentary to the film, offering an all round good package. The 5.1 sound track is amazing, handling both the low frequency explosions and the more detailed intricacies of the movie equally adeptly. The dark, moody visuals of the movie also appear sharp, giving great picture clarity. This movie is simply a must to all dvd owners.
