Fallen - Angeli caduti

Unlike the previous reviewer, I found this made-for-TV movie, "Fallen", to be interesting and well done. Though I think it would have worked better as a mini-series, and certainly needs to be fleshed out more, as a 2-hour made-for-TV movie, it certainly wasn't bad. Interesting concepts, and not overly religious (though it is based on "Fallen Angels", of course.) Seeing as it was A.) Free, B.) Made-for-TV, and C.) done without a HUGE budget, it was entertaining and kept me interested. The plot did meander at times, and the main characters weren't built up enough, but this is TV we're talking about. This isn't a big-budget movie, nor were there any "major" stars, though a few of the supporting actors are well-known. Overall, it's worth watching, and if you have TiVo (or your cable company's DVR), recording it to watch later isn't a bad idea.

I thought that Fallen was a great Movie the first time I saw it. It contained a interesting plot that always kept you wanting more. It's a story about a boy named Aaron who is an orphan. He just wants to have a normal life with his family. Aaron is an excellent student and has a specialty for languages. He also has a fascination for angels. One day he notices strange things are happening to him. For example he meets this homeless man who knows too much about him. He can speak a ton of languages he didn't even know, fluently. Now he starts to realize he can do these things for a reason. He has a purpose in his life, but he doesn't want to accept the fact that he has "special" traits and abilities that are very noticeable by "some" people. Now he must find out what is happening and why. Also he must fulfill his purpose on earth. Because earth depends on it.

it was good i think it could have been better in some areas like a little more with the book it was based off of but other then that i like it it was pretty accurate angels were able to reproduce but were forbidden to do so at one point cant really remember why which makes me wanna do some boring reading but i do know there's no where does it says he took away there ability to do so it might sound it it says that but if that were true then other parts of the scripts wouldn't make even more sense then they already do. when it comes to religious things like this nothing is gonna be 100 percent accurate and there is many reasons why that is but too many for me to wanna list.

I haven't read any of the Fallen books, but I'd like to take a look at one now. The movie was pretty entertaining. Paul Wesley was an unfortunate choice for the lead - he's one of those generic square-jawed types like the leads in the TV series Supernatural - but the rest of the cast was pretty good. The story was interesting and I just loved the dog, who was very funny and really caught the spirit of dogginess.

I'm not sure what to make of the show's bizarre mythology, it's sort of like that Broadway musical about the Wizard of Oz in which the bad witch turns out to be a good, misunderstood witch. Here, the good guy is a Nephilim (who are very bad guys, incidentally, in the TV series Hex) and God has sent angels to earth who are horrible and murder innocent people with abandon.

So I'm curious as to what sort of God we are expected to think put all this in motion. Is God a big picture kind of guy who sets things in motion and then sits back and lets them play out? Or did he have a plan and actually die and now it's up to everyone to manage as best they can? I'd be curious to know if it's as easy to come to the same conclusion by reading the books; perhaps they have a more detailed mythology that would allow for a different interpretation. But as angel movies go, this one doesn't really wind up putting God in a very kindly light (I've no objection to that, I just find it interesting).

I'll also go against one of the other critics here and say I thought Tom Skerrit was the best actor in the movie and also that I liked the huntress angel, who apparently was a guy in the books.

I was attracted to this show due to my profession. I am an Angel Interpreter, and professional psychic. Before you dismiss my posting, let me say I have done this professionally since 1995, and have several publications concerning the Angelic Realm. So, although I would never consider myself an expert, let's say I may have more experience than most viewers concerning Angels. Upon saying that, I have to say this show surprised me.

Fallen was far more accurate (as far as my experiences have been) than many of the "fluffy" Angel shows that have been previously aired. FALLEN not only addresses the issues of "Good and Bad" Angels with more neutrality and balance, but will allow us to view Angels as a part of the collective, yet individual. I like the fact that CHOICE was referenced several times. Choice vs.Victim.

I have to say you have a winner here. I can only foresee a good life for this show, as it seems humanity may be ready for more "truth" and less "fluff". Whomever your writers are, kudos. They may know more than they are even conscious of.

I will recommend this show (more than once) in my newsletter to 9000 people.
