Anjos Caídos

I'll try not to make this a horribly long winded rant, so please bear with me, but am I the only person who in fact read the books then became excited about the mini series only to cry when watching it? Not because the story is sad, or anything or the sort, but because they've ruined the plot and the beauty of the original? It became so bad that I couldn't even finish the watching it, and would hardy let my mom tell me what had happened. I just couldn't stomach it.

Verchiel is female, which had me blinking confusedly at my TV, and then everything that was to follow was just plain.. Outrageous. I found Aaron as a protagonist to be.. A disappointment, which is maddening, because in the books he is.. Very deep, and wonderful, and so many other beautiful things they didn't take the time to capture in the mini series. Sure.. I know they didn't have the time.. But honestly they could have done a much better job. They could have done him justice, they could have done the books, all the deep, rich and thoughtfully pieced together characters justice, but they just didn't.

I don't recommend this to anyone. The books, yes.. I love them, and they have many a wonderful moment, all that make a sort of sense that's hard to find anywhere else.

I liked this movie. Obviously I'm not the only one who thought it seemed more a premiere of TV show. Tina's review of the movie clearly indicates that she thinks this is a new show. It watched like a premiere, it talked like a premiere, it acted like a premiere, and it ended like a premiere. Unfortunately, it's just a book made into a TV movie.

With the exception of Tom Skerritt, the acting was excellent. I've always love Tom's work, but his performance was very overdone and contrived in this movie. It did serve to contrast against the great performances by the other actors. Dialog that could have easily turned into groaning, eye-rolling diatribes by an unnecessarily wordy and preachy script was, instead, smart, funny, and well paced.

They could have gone crazy with the flaming swords and weapons, but subtle and creative foley artwork kept it from becoming some sort of Holy Light Saber battle. The only really annoying thing to me was the dog's voice! Scale it back a bit! I thought it would've been better if they touched it up a bit to sound as if it were more like he were hearing the dog's words in his head.

I hope the networks get enough positive feedback that this does eventually get developed into a regular show.

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 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.

I watched this a few years ago and I just happened to come to this page and all i can remember about this series is how truly boring it was. I rarely remember bad films. I filter them out like boring days. Oddly though I remember how awfully dull this was. I knew it was going to be cheesy, I mean Angels and Demons and all that, but you never know with these things. You're always hoping it might be The Prophecy or maybe Constantine not great but good fun American Gothic. Fallen is just tedious all the way. Predictable generic characterization with a side order of poor stiff lifeless acting. You know those poor shows with lots of pointless meaningful poses and heartfelt nothings followed intensely lightweight and bad action. I vaguely remember one or two bits where you think oh this looks good and then .... oh no it's not. I force myself to watch it because I rented the series but I remember a feeling of relief when the DVD finally stopped. Like I said I don't remember bad films but it struck me odd that I remembered this feeling by the sense of relief I felt when it was over. Truly a bad one - you should watch it.
