Rating: Summary: This movie had so much potential ... Review: All the movie really needed was a better plot. But it was really nice to see Russell Wong, and Jennifer Beals with some more acting jobs...especially Russell Wong!
Rating: Summary: Great Movie Review: Almost BETTER than the first one! It was great. The plot was good, and the special effects were also fantastic. It had good actors and a good design.
Rating: Summary: Great movie, rent Both I and II and watch them in order!! Review: Another good movie, a rarity for a sequel. Christopher Walken was great as usual and it was nice to see Jennifer Beals as beautiful as ever. I'm giving props to Russell Wong though. He is quickly becoming a favorite of mine. I love the look he carries in this movie and hope to see much more of him in the future!
Rating: Summary: A great prequel Review: As a huge fan of the trilogy, I have to say that the second installment is not a great movie in itself, but it was not meant to be great by itself. The trilogy is very much one continious story. This movie is a prequel for Prophecy III and explains the conception of Danyael, the protagonist of the next movie. This movie is mostly plot and does not have as much action as the third and first installments. Overall, it is a worthy successor to the first movie.
Rating: Summary: ONE OF A KIND! Review: AS GOOD AS THE FIRST ONE, BUT MORE ENTERTAINING. GREAT ACTING, UNIQUE BECAUSE OF ITS RELIGIOUS REFERENCES. NOT A LOT OF MOVIES CAN BE AS INTERESTING,'CAUSE THIS MAKES YOU THINK. THE ENDING IS PERFECT, TOO. RUSSELL WONG IS JUST AS WONDERFUL AS HE LOOKS. HE SHOULD HAVE MORE MOVIES IN THE FUTURE AS A LEAD!
Rating: Summary: Beautiful. Review: Christopher Walken rules! Two words: Russell Wong. Ouch. I had to take a cold shower after seeing him onscreen. I hope he's not married yet.
Rating: Summary: Sequels, who needs them? Review: Great, Superb, Magnificant are words I can use to describe The Prophecy. Boring, Terrible, Bad are words I can describe it's sequel. The Prophecy is a must see, while the sequel will only relate to dumb idiots. Christopher Walken failed to save the movie as he alone couldn't seem to keep the audience interested. Jennifer Beals worst performance ever.
Rating: Summary: Watch for Satan's cameo! Review: I can't be too hard on this film. It's the best straight-to-video sequel I've seen, which admittedly isn't saying much, but you know. The plot was actually imaginative, the cast tries their best & Walken is fantastic as always. And the final scene turns out to be (unintentionally) funny, with the idea that the Garden of Eden is an oil refinery and angels are essentially just a bunch of crouching men. Still, it's a pretty film, full of dreamy imagry and a wonderfully moody score.
Rating: Summary: Nice legend based blast Review: I don't know what it is about Christopher Walkern that makes my flesh creep (no offence Mr. Walkern - I put it down to your acting skill). The story is based on a second war in heaven... this time, it's not "Old Nick" being cast down but all the good guys getting jarred with god coz he's let people into heaven and they already have a priviledge - a soul - which Angels don't have. So they (rightfully) feel snubbed that having given god a monumental headache since creation, he has now elevated them above his loyal and unquestioning servants. There is a single soul which is blacker than all the others, and a lot of the angels want it in order to become immortal... the hunt is on! Lots of nice spins on legend stuff... I particularly like the bit where Gabriel is reasoning with a human that he (as a - now - brutal self-serving assasin) has a right to be mentally ruined having spent eternity with "one wing dipped in blood". The murdering of men, women & children, done at the order of god without question has taken it's toll on them. Quite jumpy in places, not as scarey as the Omen(s) or other top-line legend-horrors but a good story none-the-less
Rating: Summary: Why, oh why? Review: I gave The Prophecy II two stars because if I gave it one star I'd feel bad about myself. I rented this film the other night and I walked out of my den watching it. I'm not going to go into horrific detail; because I fear my detail might be more horrific than the film. Dimension Films seems to make two kinds of movies. Highly entertaining African-American comedies and these. On a side note, the producer made TREKKIES, which keeps him out of movie jail for another 5 years.
