Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
I only have one complaint about this movie. Really having to listen closely to understand the dialogue of the British actors. Too many had really thick accents and they talked too fast. Really annoying. Had to keep rewinding to understand what they were saying. Turning up the volume didn't help. It reminded me of George C. Scott in "Patton" when he said British and Americans were "Two people separated by a common language." Aristocratic British accent is easier to understand, perhaps because they draw out their words, but these actors were speaking with the accents of the common British. I liked the opening sequences with the dogs, it was reminiscent of "Damien" with those vicious and Satanic Rottweilers.
low budget movies! get a big title,cut the REAL actors and get some cheap actors! making this movie whit out Walken is unforgivable! I'm a big fan of all prophecy movies, but this one is a disgrace. CHRISTOPHER WALKEN IS THE PROPHECY! if you want a great movie,then see:The Prophecy /Prophecy 2 / Prophecy 3:The Ascent! thats great movies! don't see this one. i taken my self 10 minuets and thinking of any useful (good) to say about this film,but cant find a single thing besides the fact that Gregory Widen still is around to make some things right.but even there it feels like a big mistake when Walken missing.so next time get it right!
The first three movies were about the angels who stood beside God during the first war in Heaven and then divided; creating a second angel war. This movie seems like the beginning of a new story concerning a division between those who had fallen in that first war.While, sadly, there is no Christopher Walken, there really is no part or place for Gabriel in this story. This is about God's as yet, written prophecy and how Hell's minions want to use it for their own purposes.The central character of this movie is Dani (Sean Pertwee), a Romanian cop with a past, but the central character of the story (this movie and the next) is Allison (Kari Wuhrer) who, for lack of a better term, "inherits" the One bible, in which God is writing the last chapter of Revelations. Whoever gets God's final Revelation first will have the upper hand, not only in Hell, but Heaven as well. Unfortunately, too soon after we figure this out, the credits are rolling. This leaves the character-build of Allison incomplete and one can only hope we get a clearer understanding in September's follow-up, The Prophecy: Forsaken.To sum up, if you're a Christopher Walken fan looking for Gabe to toot his horn one more time, don't bother with this film. If you're a Kari Wuhrer fan, you'll probably be disappointed with the lack of her character building. If you're a Sean Pertwee or John Light (as Satan) fan, or a fan of the series in general, this movie is a must!Side Note: One possibly implied reference to a character in the original series: During the internet chat session where Dani's trying to gather information about corpses missing their hearts, he gets a reply from "joseph_1995". Reference to Thomas Dagget's autopsy doctor friend, Joseph (played by Steve Hytner) and the year the original film was released???
I thought the movie was good considering that we're talking about a movie that obviously can never measure up to the original. I was a skeptic at first, but after seeing it, I now have a little more faith that maybe the movies would get even better and by the time 2307 comes, we might get an awesome Prophecy movie.Joking aside, not a bad movie, go rent it...really!The acting was descent, could have been more or better special effects, the plot was definitely interesting..a few good twists. I recommend that if you're a die hard Prophecy fan and wont watch unless Walken is in it, don't bother, but those of us who aren't, just plain see it for the sheer fun of a new movie.
