Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

NateWatchesCoolMovies The Prophecy is the epitome of the dimension films 90's craze of wicked horror fantasy crossovers. The pure spooky atmosphere and delicious lead performance on display here is enough to forgive the film it's setbacks, of which it has a few. It doesn't fully explain or flesh out its mythology, and gets a bit hazy. But it compensates with a vividly drawn tale of the heavens and the underworld at war on earth, in an ambient style punctuated by eccentric character beats and an overall tone of a well spun campfire tale. Christopher Walken is scary intense as the Angel Gabriel, tossed out of heaven and deposited on earth like a castaway, forced to dwell among us monkeys and meat suits. He has a vague plan (like I said, the writing could have harnessed the plot together a bit more) to find the most evil soul in human history, implant it in the body of a specific child, and incite another unholy war between angels and demons to rock the universe to its foundations. A big city cop (Elias Koteas) catches wind of the otherworldy plot and pursues. He's led to a backwater New Mexico town that Gabriel has turned his attention too. It's a muddy, convoluted yarn, but don't get me wrong, I freakin love it. Walken seems to Emory the weirdness and wild, 'scream at the stars' anger of the jaded cherub perfectly, giving him a heart of evil obsidian glass and a mind to carry out his plan no matter how many races he has to decimate to do so. Virginia Madsen fills the female lead nicely, and there's supporting work from Amanda Plummer, Glenn Danzyg, Eric Stoltz, and a brief but wickedly memorable turn from Viggo Mortensen, playing Lucifer. He owns his cameo with repulsive, terrifying gusto. It's not a perfect film, but in the long run of similar outings (Legion, Constantine etc.) it's one of the best. The alluring air of mystery and fantastical elements always get me. As for the sequels, the first two are cool because they still have Walken... but avoid the last two, they're awful.

Urantia I didn't like how Gabriel was portrayed in this movie as being more like a murderous thug as opposed to being the Bright and Morning Star of Nebadon, this being my belief as a student of The Urantia Papers. Of all the names of angels they had to choose from when picking their "bad guy who wears the black hat" (in this case, the "bad angel with greasy black hair"), I couldn't help but wonder why the writer selected the name of Gabriel, our local universe's chief executive and the personal rep of the Sovereign Son known best in our planetary neck of the woods by the name given at birth in Bethlehem, Jesus. The Lucifer Rebellion began around 200,000 earth years ago and it was certainly no exaggeration when they referenced this as being "a war in heaven" where angels needed to listen to both sides of the argument as presented by Gabriel vs. Lucifer before making a final decision as to which side of the proverbial fence of Good vs. Evil they wholeheartedly desired to wind up on. But Gabriel is the mighty and steadfast Warrior representing God who exposed The Lucifer Manifesto for what it really is, a treacherous pack of lies. When I read a detailed account of Lucifer's ludicrous propositions as spelled out in his unholy declaration of war against God, I was amazed that one who was created a few levels above our paygrade could sink to such lowly depths of depravity even sparing not the Jerusem kids in the probationary nursery on the finaliter's world (those precious little ones from planets like ours who died too soon) from being exposed to his repulsively repugnant pitch of death deceptively disguised as something else. But once I started taking my attention away from the names of characters, I wound up being more than just entertained by the acting and the over-acting. In the end, I realized that The Prophecy tells a story about faith where men and women and angels are free to determine their individual destinies by the faith-filled or faith-deficient choices they make.

Amityville15 The angel Gabriel comes to earth wanting to take a soul to end the ongoing war in heaven, however when confronting the person he wants he finds out that he has transferred the soul into a little girl, with this information he goes and looks for her, however a Police Officer and a teacher are protecting her and refuse to let Gabriel take her.This film starred: Christopher Walken, Elias Koteas & Virginia MadsenThe Prophecy was released in 1995 and is an OK film, I was expecting more however it is a film I hate and I could watch it again, I have the 3 films, and I am yet to see 2 & 3, however I don't have two 2005 spin off films because they are a waste of time and money. Recommended because although I was let down this is still an interesting film.***/***** Could be worse.

RomeoKnight Supporting actors Christopher Walken, Viggo Mortensen and Eric Stoltz pretty much are the only reasons for this movie not to fall utter garbage category. Lead actors Elias Koteas and Virginia Madsen are extremely wooden card board cuts with no emotion, no charisma, no nothing. Where did they find these nobodies makes me wonder? Koteas has the same dumb face for the whole movie no matter whether he finds a box full of human faces or tries to pray for God in a desperate and sentimental act. Madsen has a same monotonous repertoire for emotions and expression. Lady schoolteacher finds a burned dead human body from their schools attic and what is her reaction? Nothing. Just like she would have found a dead rat. Or maybe burned "homeless people" are so common in the states and have no human value that you can just shrug your shoulders and continue with your daily chores. That was just a one example. Sure, you can also blame the script but for some reason, I don't think Walken had any better script and he managed to improvise the hell out of his role.While the story was interesting, it was pretty weak and there wasn't much more into this except brilliant performances from supporting actors. What a waste of a good fantasy/thriller movie. 6/10
