A Profecia do Mal

This movie is silly.

This movie had its moments. I thought it would be mythology focused but makes the mistake of trying to move the story through humans.

It has all your tropes and no scene really outdoes the first one.

The hand to hand combat scenes between Michael the Archangel and demons are eyerollingly boring. The main character, who you just know survives this, is likeable but everything that happens to her is so boring and predictable.

They don't do a good job of explaining the mythos or the requirements.

Idk its a semi-interesting premise that just lacks imagination in its execution. I actually clicked on the movie because I thought the imagery of Lucifer and Michael was really inventive.

It was disappointing honestly, but its not worse than other movies these days that take themselves way too seriously.

" lucifer possessed woman on giving birth: my water broke.

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 .

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.

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?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who decided to watch this because of the charismatic actor on the poster.

First disappointment, he's Michael, not Lucifer.

Lucifer is depicted as smaller, ugly, and weak of character since the very first moment (right after the fall).

They seem to have forgotten that he's the most beautiful and glorious of all angels, the closest to God, the most powerful.

Second disappointment, he's almost never on screen.

And the main actors are profoundly lacking ANY charisma and arguably almost any talent.

If that actor who plays Michael would have been more on screen, it would have been a 6.

If he would have been Lucifer, an 8.

If he and his band of rebels would have kicked ass, a 10.

But it's just a 4.

At least I don't regret watching.
