Summary: Not as good as the first one, but...
Review: I loved the first film in the series. I did not care for this film. It didn't have enough fresh ideas, and some of the new ideas were just stupid. The main problem was with the cast's talent, or lack thereof. The first one in the series had a great cast all-around. But, in most returning roles, new faces replaced the original actors. I guess the originals from the first film weren't interested in being in a strait-to-video release.
The Prophecy 2 has one big thing going for it, and that is the scenes between Christopher Walken and Brittany Murphy. Walken is his naturally creepy self in these scenes. Brittany Murphy, as the Goth Girl "Izzie", shows that she can hold her own in scenes with big-time actors (as she did three years later in "Don't Say a Word").
I think the film is well-worth viewing just to see those two opposite each other. But still, only for fans of the first film, or if you're a Christopher Walken or Brittany Murphy fan.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: More Glenn Danzig (Samael) would have been nice
Review: I rented this movie for one reason. Danzig father of dark metal starred in it. I know that has nothing to do with how good a movie is. I thought it was too short and boring. Not very convincing. Christopher Walkin is the perfect villian though. Cool when he snaps his fingers and blows stuff up.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic, Five times better than the first.
Review: I saw the first film of the Prophecy and I did not care much for it, but the second one was fantastic. Russell Wong and Jennifer Beals were great together.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Yup :-)
Review: I'm speaking of the 3 movies I've seen in this series of movies, Christopher Walken is one of the best actors I have seen and this roll is his apex in my mind, totally funny + he gets weirder as the movies go along, the writers know what they are doing + christopher playes it perfectly + adds his amazing performance in a perfect roll for him. Top Rate!

Summary: Prophecy II, What?
Review: If you have already seen the Prophecy you will probably not like this movie. The sequal doesn't really mix well with the first. I remember when I rented this movie when it first came out, I thought it could be good. It is a good movie, but should be called something else not Prophecy II. If you are a big Glenn Danzig fan this will go good with any Danzig collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Better than the First!
Review: Previous reviews have already mentioned the great casting of Christopher Walken. His attempts to function in an unfamiliar human world provide moments of humor in the film.

Contrary to the previous reviewer's opinion, this film has a more coherent plot than the first and third installments of the Prophecy series, and contains some truly artistic and memorable scenes, particularly the conclusion of Jennifer Beal's confrontation with Walken, and Russell Wong revealing the full glory of his angelic nature to Beals. Much of what makes these scenes and others like them work is the high calibre acting. It is surprising that this film went straight to video considering its quality. It is certainly better than the first.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Interesting Sequel
Review: The first "Prophecy" is no doubt a classic,and the second addition to the trilogy could possibly be one too."Prophecy 2" has Christopher Walken reprising his role as the fallen angel "Gabriel", instead of searching for a sole to lead his army, "Gabriel" is after a women impreagnated by an angel. "Prophecy 2" provides good cinematography,some nice C.G.I. effects,and a strong performance by Christopher Walken.I would suggest buying the first one,and if you like that one,then "Prophecy 2" is for you.

Summary: Better then the first one!
Review: The plot is alot more coherent and the acting is tons better. Walken was very good in the first. However, the supporting actors in the first one were not as good as in the sequel. Glenn Danzigs cameo as one of the fighting angels is amusing. I thought he was a much better actor then I had feared. I can't wait to watch Prophecy 3.

Rating: 4 stars
