Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

jacobjohntaylor1 This is a great show. Buffy the vampire slayer is a little bit better. This a very scary show. It has great acting. It also has great special effects. It is scarier then The Exorcist. And that is not easy to do. It got an 8 which is a good ratting. But this is such a great show that 8 is underrating. This is a 10 not an 8. This is better then A Nightmare on elm street. And that is not easy to do. Jaws is a little better. Still this a great show. This better then Halloween and that is not easy to do. Jaws 2 is a little bet but not mush. Buffy the vampire slayer is one of the very few horror shows that is better then this. See this show it is awesome.

TigerHeron For three seasons, it was one of the best TV shows ever. The main character is charismatic and complex, and the show realistically grapples with the question of redemption and explores the nature of evil. Not bad for a fantasy about a vampire!"Angel" was a spin-off from the iconic "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which was a pretty good series, but mainly aimed at teens. "Angel" is for adults.There are interesting meshed episodes between the two series (Buffy and Angel) which adds depth to the characters. For those who don't know, Angel and Buffy were in love in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," in what is perhaps the great fictional TV romance of all time. A little bit Beauty and the Beast, a little bit Romeo and Juliet, but a very modern story...it's a forbidden love, but not for the usual reasons. At the end of Buffy's third season, Angel moves to Los Angeles to start a private detective agency and David Boreanaz gets a starring role in his own show. And he deserved it. He was by far the most charismatic character on Buffy, perhaps in large part because Joss Whedon overdid Buffy's stereotypical teen traits and the rest of the supporting characters were often played for laughs in an exaggerated, jokey way (which ultimately proved to be an error in my opinion). Angel is no joke. He became a vampire as a young man in the 18th century and lived as a monster, committing murder, rape and other atrocities, until 80 years before "Buffy" begins, when Angel is cursed by a victim's family who somehow gives him a "soul" (a conscience). Wracked with guilt, he desperately tries to redeem himself, and thus is drawn to Buffy, whose destiny is to save the world from monsters. This all takes place in the Buffy series, which you should watch for a couple of seasons first. The themes of guilt and redemption continue in "Angel" but the series avoids most of the clichés of Buffy. Angel's main opponent is a demonic L.A. law firm and the humor in Angel comes from the juxtaposition of the vampires and demons with ordinary people, showing them as being remarkably similar...in the most compelling episode, a character from "Buffy" who is human yet thoroughly bad, reaches her nadir and Angel tries to help her as she struggles to make real-life decisions about accountability. Another great episode riffed on the classic film "Spartacus." Each episode has its own story, but unlike Buffy there is an ongoing development of the main character. Angel's backstory is told in occasional historical flashbacks and due to reasons I won't go into, at times he is flipped back into evil, and he is genuinely terrifying.Sadly the show became quite strange at the end of the third season and the fourth season was just weird. There is no good explanation for the bizarre new characters/changed characters and I never made it to season 5. Just watch the first three seasons; you won't be sorry!

tacanderson My wife and I had just finished binge watching our latest show and were looking for something different. We're huge Joss Whedon fans and watched Buffy from the first airing until the last, but never really got into Angel. It was on a different night of the week and just never picked it up. But we've been fans of Grimm since it aired and the creator of Grimm, David Greenwalt, was co-creator of Angel with Joss. So we decided to give it a try. Darker than Buffy, and not as much humor, but still plenty of great lines and funny moments. The first season is a little rough. This is 12 years old now, and it shows a little, and they obviously were still working on smaller budgets. It's still great nostalgic fun, and you get to see lots of actors who went on to do other things make guest appearances.

Joxerlives What can I say about Angel? When it first started I wasn't so sure about it, it was a lot darker than Buffy (quite literally so in terms of the filming, I'm sure David Boreanaz is happy to be able to film 'Bones' in the daytime). But it grew on me slowly. Then came 'Five by Five' and I was a fan, the series never looked back for me. In Buffy we talk about the stronger seasons and the weaker but Angel was never like that, there was never a weak season. David Boreanaz as Angel was excellent and I think even he would admit that he wasn't that good an actor in the first year of Buffy. The writers are clever in that his character grows a lot but is still essentially Angel, the background we gradually learns over time with him and Darla is superb. Alexis Denisof shows such growth as Wesley, the comedy foil on Buffy only to become the tragic hero on this show. Charisma Carpenter super sexy and becoming a whole new Cordelia but keeping the core of the Queen of Sunnydale High. Lorne provides pathos, camp and some terrific songs, Gunn proves he's so much more than the angry young man/muscle he could have easily have been. If I was to have a favourite minor character it has to be Lilah, smart as a whip and classy as hell, so nearly reformed through her love for Wesley (Adele on Dollhouse owes her an obvious debt).Favourite story? Orpheus, the entire hunting Angelus arc is magnificent but to have Faith and Willow (AND Barry Manilow) in the same story is wonderful beyond belief. Favourite scene? Wes' imagined conversation with Lilah in Salvage as he prepares to decapitate her corpse. Favourite moment? Faith collapsing sobbing into Angel's arms at the end of 'Five by Five' whilst Wesley drops the knife. Funniest moment? Angel and Connor singing 'Oh Jasmine' just pipping Fred at the bus station reciting PI to calm herself only for the crazy looking homeless guy to move away from HER. Best line? When Angel cuts off Lindsay's hand and tells him "Don't believe everything you're foretold" A staggeringly attractive cast and the show not afraid to bring either the horror or the sexy (notably gaining an 18 rating on its' DVDs rather than Buffy's 15) All brilliant beyond words.Worst story? First Impressions or The Shroud of Rahmon which are both pretty terrible. But on the whole the series is pure 10 out of 10. As for the ending, it was good, the idea of redemption being a journey rather than a destination and not just for Angel. Perhaps in the end Angel does become human, in soul rather than in flesh. Or maybe the scroll was talking about Spike?So, my second favourite show of all time. And my favourite? Buffy! But perhaps only because it has more episodes?
