Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!
Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
disdressed12 in my opinion this final film in the original trilogy is the weakest of the three but still not bad.i like what they did with Christopher Walken's character Gabriel.and Walken himself is great as usual.in fact he's the best thing about the film.i also liked the ending.more on that in a bit.i didn't particularly like the main villain.i thought he was just too ordinary and not worthy of the material.i also found this installment a bit too preachy for my tastes.now back to the ending.the thing i liked about it was that it brought everything full circle.i thought that was a very fitting way to end the trilogy.definitely not as good as it could have been,but still watchable and had some good points.for me,The Prophecy 3: The Ascent is a 6/10
slayrrr666 "The Prophecy III: The Ascent" is more of a conclusion than anything else.**SPOILERS**After an assassination attempt, religious activist Danyael Rosales, (Dave Buzzotta) is taken to the county morgue, where his girlfriend Maggie, (Kayren Butler) is unable to come up with the answer given when he disappears after a few hours. Uncovering the truth, that he plays an important part of a religious battle for control of the Earth through the Angel Zophael, (Vincent Spano) with his own half-angel, half-man status. With help from Gabriel, (Christopher Walken) a fallen angel stuck on Earth, he is soon informed of his status despite not knowing how it all happened, and is told of his significance in the War for control. Knowing that all the forces are now are after him, he is forced to go on the run to escape and battle for the future of mankind on the planet.The Good News: When this one has it coming, there's some really good stuff in it. The fact that there's finally answers to the storyline are a major one, even though there's nothing about it in the beginning and there's only a few at the ending, but these are enough to make it feel really conclusive to the story. The story lines are done and settled, with no loose ends left with the several stories here still leave the film with no questions about what's going on in the series. All of them are tied up and given explanations, making this one really feel nice in it's conclusion to the series. There's even a few really good action scenes in here to make it even more interesting. There's a spectacular foot-chase through a series of buildings and streets that really gets the excitement into the film. It has a fun conclusion that is pretty otherworldly and combines a lot of action into it. There's also a few fist-fights that incorporate some high-flying martial arts into the proceedings, and a rather blood-soaked finale that has enough body-piercing and heart-removing to leave the gore-hounds satisfied. The device is pretty nice and actually has a painful-looking purpose for it. That's what it should be, and manages to do it successfully. These here are what really help the movie.The Bad News: This one here doesn't have that many flaws to hold it down. One of the main ones is that there's a whole lot of scenes in the beginning which are just dull. The film is beginning to get it's mystery started and there's nothing in the film that really matters all that much. It takes a long time to set up the mystery, and from there it isn't too long to really get the film going, but with the points it has to deal with until then are just too dull to matter. When that ends, there's also the film's embarrassingly brief running time. This one really should've been stretchered out to a much longer time, as this makes the final epic battle seem relatively weak. It's all dealt with too quickly, and there's nothing in here that really makes that feel any different. The final confrontation is distressingly weak, and with a little more time, it could've been something. It has a little bit of something there but it's handled way too differently to really have the grandiose feeling that it really should've had, from where the story was going. Even worse, with the film feeling too short, it's over before it feels like it, and the with the grandiose feeling that it was going for, the quickness really detriments it from feeling that way. Otherwise, these here the film's really bad points.The Final Verdict: More of a conclusion to the series than anything else, this one here accomplishes the task rather well. This one is really only for the fans of the series or the incredibly interested, otherwise this one should be used with extreme caution.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity
Global_Marketing_Pros I am very excited about the accuracy of prophecies. How human nature brings about the logic of man and his kingdom. In today's world the motives of men to establish a just and good society can not be overlooked with actions of terrorist who would call themselves patriots or the angels of their societies.The mirror images of the Twin Towers and the Brazilian government make for a testament to what man can build and destroy. To harness Gods force of nature and direct it must be awesome. As this film projects even the worst of mans fears invites heavens guardians to help guide them.Christopher Walken plays this role very well, although I appreciated him more in the original prophecy. I think the passion that he used in the movie The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is what most might expect of a dark angel. But as Robert DeNiro portrayed in Johnny Angel the power of wisdom by Gods hand is the moving force. Thus, I am equally satisfied with how Walken plays this dark guardian of heavens gate.
Kromando33 The Third film in 'The Prophecy' series sees Danyael Rossales as a grown up adolescent, seemingly unaware of his origin as a human-angel hybrid. This film has several great things about, but it also isn't without the inevitable flaws. One of them being bad acting on the part of of the character Maggie, played by Kayren Butler. I can see the reason for the character existing, someone for Danyael to play off, an ally and friend to our main character, but it just seems that the majority (if not all) of the bad lines that bring the movie down come from her, she fails to make the movie believable from the point of her character. But the good points far outweigh the above criticism, the best thing being the return of the now former angel Gabriel, played in his new humble and friendly human form to absolute magnificence by Christopher Walken. Him taking human form seems to have given him an appreciation for our kind, which he so hated in the previous two films, he finally gets what being an angel is about. "Any angel, however powerful, can ever be anything but the messenger", his re finding of faith and understanding is a full circle of his character, as is the entire film. The Film 'full circles' the entire trilogy, having the final climax back to the familiar surroundings of the first film. Vincent Spano plays the rebel angel Zophael quite well, and has great presence and a powerful character throughout. Scott Cleverdon is convincingly evil in an arrogant way, as Pyriel the angel of genocide, and provides the final confrontation in which this movie, and indeed the trilogy needed.
