it not often i feel compel to give negative criticism of a film while after all i often feel the maxim and if you do not have anything good to say do not say it at all and would be apt advice for the many naysayer we listen to everyday who nitpick at thing we like . if it all the same to you the reader though i feel compel to point out that with the lone exception of christopher walken in a returning role a gabriel this movie be pathetically horrid . i say this to you to warn you in advance that even if you be a fan of walken deadpan delivery and style or like the original prophecy that you will be sorely dissapointed . if you buy it and return it . if you rent it and make sure it only ninety nine cent . what wrong with this movie . a full list would take too long to read and would bore you to tear and but a short summary would be the following represent the once rather crystalline clear picture of the relationship between angel and mortal of the first film be rip to shred . gabriel be turn from the rather morbid right hand of god he once be ( and in this role he be wickedly funny in the first ) to little more than a thug for heaven . since walken be so good at play heavy ( we all remember frank white from king of new york ) he be still enjoyable but the support cast be an unmitigated and unconvincing mess of mortal and angel alike who couldn not buy a clue for 50 cent . if you can figure out the plot youre a smart man than i. one get the feeling we wander aimlessly from scene to scene just to move the film along to walken next big line . by the end of the movie youre actually wish he would blow his horn and make the wall of jericho fall on the people who make this un natural disaster . bottom line it an insult to our intelligence that they make a sequel to this film in the first place . the original tell the right story and answer the question that should have be and and leave alone the one you be mean to ponder afterwards . there be no compelling reason to follow these character that be in the first the priest who lose his faith and the little girl who keep the big secret and the teacher who protect her child even lucifer himself be more interesting by himself in the first film than all the other character in the sequel put together . i feel sorry for anybody who see this film and not the first because they will probably never want to watch the original and that a real tragedy .
