Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Uriah43 I'm not sure whether the person who wrote this screenplay should be awarded a prize for sheer imagination or whether he should be tarred and feathered for being a complete moron. In any case, I have never witnessed an example of such bizarre mumbo-jumbo in my entire life. It's almost as if the writers were making up their own religion on the spot with no apparent sense of direction or purpose. In any case, this film essentially fast-forwards a bit from the last movie ("The Prophecy II") to the point where the nephalim, "Danyael Rosales" (Dave Buzzotta) is now a young man being hunted by the angel "Zophael" (Vincent Spanno) because Danyael might interfere with the plans of another angel named "Pyriel" (Scott Cleverdon). As everyone probably knows, Zophael is "the spy of God" whose allegiance is uncertain to everybody in Heaven and Pyriel is the "angel of genocide" who wants to be the savior of mankind by possibly killing everyone. Danyael, on the other hand, is "the word" and that apparently means something to somebody. In any case, Danyael has to be stopped. So does Pyriel for that matter. Meanwhile the archangel "Gabriel" (Christopher Walken) is still in his earthbound human form but has allowed his hair to grow and has learned how to drive. Throw in some dull performances by everyone except Christopher Walken and the film pretty much winds down to yet another strange conclusion which will certainly be addressed in the next installment. Definitely below average.

oneguyrambling The Prophecy rocked, the second was unexpectedly good.So what's wrong with The Prophecy 3: The Ascent? Well nothing really, but there is so little new stuff that it comes across as a pale facsimile of the first two films. At least the filmmakers seemed to realise this and didn't try to stretch it our unnecessarily by putting in pointless subplots and scenes, this is a pretty merciful 80 minutes.Get in. Tell story. Get out.At the close of the second film Valerie was "Knocked up by an Angel", which sounds like the logical follow up to the old "Touched by an Angel" TV show, but apparently is unrelated.She is toasted – literally – in the first scene here, but apparently her young child named Danyael survived, although the second scene throws that on thought its ear as he is gunned down in cold blood while attempting a backroom "sermon" of sorts denouncing God as a deadbeat dad.As always the plot has Character A needing to get to Point B while Character C, Gabriel in the first two films, and "evil" angel named Zophael here tries to stop him, usually by a technique known as death. It worked for the first two but seems a little tired here.Walken is back as Gabriel once more, along with the morgue attendant as the only familiar faces, though now Gabriel is human and homeless. He can drive but he can't get a job apparently, he spends the bulk of the week saving for hookers so he can find momentary release. Gabriel pops up from now and then to give unsolicited advice, but in reality he is only here because Walken agreed to show up once more, the same film could be made without him and you wouldn't notice.Once Zophael shows to take Danyael's heart the movie kicks into the same old formula. Danyael "rises" from the dead, stronger and better than ever, with a new sixth sense style warning system that seems to twig when he is in imminent danger. Now that he is reborn he is basically ½ Angel, and apparently is therefore the only guy that can stop something quite dramatic from happening due to the continuing Angelic War.So off they go to stop Pyriel from basically supplanting God and creating Hell on Earth… Apparently.Zophael takes Danyael's girlfriend Maggie as both chauffeur and aide, Danyael heads off to a distant spot apparently being lead by some sort of internal holy GPS, and Mary from the first film returns for a (very brief ~ 30 second) cameo.There is some pompous sounding talk from those currently or once Angelic, some disbelieving from the humans despite what they continually witness and some serious sounding theological discussion that makes these films either more or less watchable, depending on your viewpoint. Put another way, if you like the first and second films you'll think this a 7.5 / 10.I've seen all 3 (+2 more still to come) and if I separate me from my love of the first film and respect for the 2nd, I can impartially say this is a 6.5 / 10 when viewed in isolation. OK, but merely OK.Final Rating – 6.5 / 10. It still holds true to the tone that made the first film a minor classic, it just has nothing new to say.

Coventry The third and final (as far as I'm concerned, at least, since I won't ever bother to check out the two remaining 2005 sequels) entry in the "Prophecy" franchise is an irredeemably weak and time-wasting dud. The second sequel to the really intelligent and ingenious 90's horror classic lacks pretty much everything you seek in a horror movie: a coherent plot, diversity between the good and evil characters, suspense & excitement and gory killings. Although Christopher Walken still incomprehensibly stars in the film, the new production crew has taken away the ONE element that made the franchise unique, namely Walken's malicious persona. After his defeat in the second film, Archangel Gabriel remained on earth but gave up on fighting the great heavenly war and became a hermit with long filthy hair. He still wanders around and observes the new angels that arrive on earth to fulfill his old task, but he himself remains on the background and even leans towards the good side. Can you imagine Christopher Walken as a good guy? What's next, Satan selling Girl Scout cookies for charity? The plot revolves on Danyael, the now adolescent angel/human hybrid son of Jennifer Beals in part two. He's killed in human form whilst blaspheming God but resurrects again as an angel with a mission. He sets out to the desert for a confrontation with Pyriel, the angel of Genocide, to end the Second War of Heaven once and for all. Meanwhile, there's another mean angel – Zophael – who tries to stop him. The main default in part three is the lackluster character development. With Walken out of the picture, the story lacks a strong and menacing villain. Vincent Spano and Scott Cleverdon can't hold a candle to Walken and Brad Dourif is shamelessly wasted in an insignificant role. A proper main character is lacking on the good-guys side as well, for that matter. You naturally don't accept Walken as the hero, but also the Danyael character is too weak and unconvincing. At a certain point halfway through the film, it even looks as if Joseph the pathologist – who briefly appeared in both previous installments – is going to become the leading man and that would be a really moronic twist. The special effects are lame and not the least bit satisfying to horror fans. The climatic battle between Danyael and Pyriel looks more like an MTV commercial instead of a horror movie finale. "The Prophecy III" in an incredible waste of time, money and effort. There are only two moments in the entire film that are worth mentioning and, of course, they both involve Christopher Walken. The first shows him visiting the same roadside bar where he went in the first film with Amanda Plummer and the second involves him trumpeting along with The Tornados' song "Telstar". Altogether these moments last perhaps 3 to 4 minutes and they're hardly worth the agony of sitting through the entire movie. Skip it.

callanvass surprisingly good and the best in the series it has a lot of creepy mood to it along with some striking images the plot is good and the story is pretty interesting and the acting is awesome Christopher Walken does not have much screen time but when he is on screen he is excellent he is one of my favorite actors he has a hilarious moment when he is driving down the road listening to the radio he decides to pull out the trombone and start playing it while he is driving. Vincent Spano is good as the main villain he is also kinda creepy at times David Buzzotta is very good here i just saw him last night in Children Of The Corn 5 he is much better here and is likable and is kinda cool Karen Butler is so so not great here and does not have to do much Brad Douriff has a cameo in this Scott Cleverdon is EXTREMELY creepy here and gave me the willies this has an awesome finale if a bit too chaotic overall a pretty good sequel that is well worth seeing *** out of 5
