A Profecia do Mal

I mean no, its not award worthy, but I found it entertaining enough. Granted I went into it not expecting anything good. I actually expected to end up turning it off after a bit. I only gave it a shot because of 2 things.... Peter Mensah, and a weird scifi tastic sounding storyline.... While I was disappointed that Mensah didn't have more screen time I still found myself watching the whole thing and enjoying it. The music fit, and wasn't distracting and yes a lot happens in the dark... That's what TV settings are for people! Those are usually not set to optimal levels out of the box and almost always have to be adjusted. I had no problems seeing anything that happened. All in all it is definitely better than the low 4.5 rating. Is it a 10? Nope, although I was tempted to rate it as such to try and offset so many unjustly bad reviews... But I didn't. I did go ahead and give it a 6 although i really think its about a solid 5. For me ratings of 4 or less should be reserved for things with cringe worthy acting and/or cartoonish effects. They could have done more with the script, true. But all in all it was an entertaining watch that didn't run slow, it kind of hit the ground running and kept moving the whole time which works for me. It takes a special movie that can keep me engaged at a slow burn speed.

As it happens, I watched this preposterous B-movie immediately after one of the most recent Marvel flicks, and honestly: it turned out to be far better regarding editing, soundtrack, and screenplay - not that that's necessarily saying much.

Of course, the effects aren't on nearly the same level, but at least the filmmakers knew exactly what they were going for, and communicated their intention from the get-go. Really: I enjoyed this schlocky spectacle a whole big bunch, and Alice Orr Ewing is a star to keep an eye on, as she acts the Hell out of her role - pun obviously intended.

It's been a long time since I was able to just sit back and enjoy the overt ridiculousness of the entire Biblical spiel, and for me, it wasn't even a 'guilty pleasure' or anything - just entertaining fun.

Considering it's current score of 4.5 I thought this would be a big boring mess. Instead it's a very entertaining film with an interesting plot, some great special effects and I was never bored. This is about on the level of a well done supernatural television show, not a big budget Hollywood film, but it's enjoyable and had me wondering what was going to happen next. Not only that but I had no idea how it would end and have to admit that I'm not sure exactly how it did turn out as they seem to leave a bit of a question on that point. Different viewers are going to come away with various interpretations of the ending. Not a classic but worth watching once.

There are times it was great, and times it was very poor. It was easy to tell when the writer either lacked knowledge or had bouts with writers block... and lost that bout. Its sad to see something that has such great potential fall to either rushing to get done or just impatient to do just a little more research on areas they failed. I really hate laughing at something that is supposed to be a serious moment.

The production was pretty good, but somebody definitely lacked touch with either the story they based this on, and even reality itself sometimes. "Your my prisoner and I demand respect!"... What?

St. Michael : huh.

Lucifer possessed woman : proceeds to shower him with hot steamy water giggling hahaha.

St. Michae: screaming with pain"

that's how it is .movie was good for having a few laughs . It looks like someone wanted to take a different route of the movie LEGION but ended up making a mess with budget hitting cgi and actors with relevance becoming so irrelevant with punchlines and endless chase . Its not a bad movie afterall if you enjoy the comedy in it but i do feel bad because the story had nothing to support with it just so happens like yeah we are gonna do this today and release lucifer just like that .
