Rating: Summary: Five star entertainment! Review: Don't listen to the harshness of the amazon.com cridic above, this movie was far from rediculas. Arnold plays his usual self, big tuff bodyguard, but the most surprising and thankful role in this movie is by far Gabriel Byrne's performance. He plays the devil far better than Al Pacino in the devil's advocate. End of Days is jammed with a roller-coaster rides of effects, superb action sequences, and light comdey suplied by Arnold's partner, Chicago (Kevin Pollak).I would say if you're an Arnold fan, than this movie is definitly for you. If not, well give it a try anyway, you may just be pleasantly surprised.
Rating: Summary: I enjoyed this movie Review: "End of Days" is not a masterpiece, but it is very entertaining. This movie has action and comedy in equal doses and that is one of the reasons this movie is entertaining. This is not as bad as some over the other reviews have suggested(Well at least I don't think it is). The DVD is very good also.
Rating: Summary: Another Schwarzenegger Great! Review: If you love to watch action & scary films then "End of Days" is one for you. I think of it as a combination of "The Omen" and an Action packed Arnald Schwarzenegger movie. You don't go 5 minutes without a suspensful, thrilling, jump out of your seat, great special effects scenes. I definitly recommend this movie (especially if you have a 5.1 surround system). The sound was great, your subwoofer and rear surround speakers never get a break. Hope to see more movies from Arnold like this in the future.
Rating: Summary: Not In The List of Schwarzenegger's good movies Review: Among Schwarzenegger's good movies (not best), i can't consider this movie. This DVD will not give much satisfaction in terms of Sound Quality, Special Effects, or I can say even the movie as a whole when compared to Eraser (or Terminator-2 or True Lies or any other Schwarzenegger movie)
Rating: Summary: Pure Arnold! Review: Don't listen to anyone else...this is a great movie. Arnold with a machine gun and rocket launcher vs. the Devil. It can't get any better than that!
Rating: Summary: Holy Rollercoaster ride! Review: Forget Stigmata which takes itself way too seriously. Give me Arnold and the Anti-Christ! This DVD is a fun popcorn-muching romp, beautifully photographed, killer surround sound, great special effects, and enough explosions and scares to satisfy. It also loads up aplenty on the extra features. Don't miss the Devil's Playground special effects section! Okay, so the plot has a few holes, and Arnold's attempts at drama make Pia Zadora look like Liv Ullman, but thankfully those scenes are short and few. And with Gabriel Byrne playing the most delicious, sexy, tongue in cheek Devil-May-Care, it balances out Arnie's shortcomings. The ending also gets a wee bit silly when Satan turns into a monster that is a cross between Alien and Ursula the Evil Octopus in Little Mermaid.
Rating: Summary: NOT ONE OF ARNIE'S BEST Review: I had rather high hopes when I rented this DVD, but alas, the plot is silly, the acting (with the exception of Gabriel Byrne) is amateurish (sorry Arnie, but the hype of this being your most emotional role leaves me laughing) and the dialogue is embarassing. I'm only giving the film two stars because of the special effects, which alone make this turkey an interesting watch. A much better film in the same genre is "Stigmata". Hey Arnie, have you considered retiring and going into politics?
Rating: Summary: Good flick. Review: I have read the negative reviews of this movie on this site. Regardless of them, I thought this was a good flick. Don't watch this movie to compare its accuracy with the Book of Revelation. Watch it for entertainment. The picture quality is excellant and its sonic value is high. In fact, with a good home theater, your viewing of this movie will be considerably enhanced because the sound is definitely referenced quality with strong discrete rear channel information and subsonic bass that will have your whole house rocking. This is entertainment at its best.
Rating: Summary: Not the worst movie Arnold has done..... Review: Remember Last Action Hero? Well, this one is better, but that does not say much. Most action films have poor acting and this one is no exception, in fact, this one has worse acting than the usual. Not to mention, the lamest wisecracks this side of Adam Sandler. Don't get me wrong, there were a few good scenes. Unfortunately, it does not save the film from being just a special effects nightmare. GRADE: C-
Rating: Summary: Mind numbing Review: The good news--a very nice DVD package, with excellent picture and sound quality, with lots of extra features. The bad news--who cares? Its mindlesss, souless excess, without a single creative idea in evidence. I don't expect intellectual inspiration from an Arnold movie, but one should at least get some great action sequences and something approaching continuity in the story. Gabriel Bryne, Robin Tunney, and Rod Steiger are all fine in poorly written roles. But this movie makes MTV videos look substantial in comparison.
