I love this movie so much

Just perfect...

Highly Overrated But Still Good

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It must have happened to you to thoroughly analyze a movie and you can not find any flaws. It seems perfect, and yet it did not blow you away, or even worse, it left you completely indifferent. Simply, it lacks a "certain something" that would make it ten. Yet, some apparently imperfect movies you can not help but give a ten, because they simply feel like tens. This "certain something" we could call the "soul" of the movie that somehow clicks with the soul of the viewer and results in deeply meaningful experience.I can not say that this film is significantly worse than "The Omen". Moreover, I'm not sure that it is technically worse at all. But "The Omen" has a soul, it has that something that makes it one of the best movies of all time, while "Damien: Omen II" simply doesn't. Everything is there, and everything is in place, but somehow it didn't click. The movie is a worthy sequel to "The Omen" and I warmly recommend it, but while "The Omen", after just one viewing, remains stuck in the soul and mind forever, "Damien" will entertain you well, but I doubt that it will leave a deeper impression on anyone.8/10

Damien, now 13 years old and living in the custody of his paternal uncles alongside his cousin, attends the military college and begins to understand who he is and his purpose in the world: to be the Anti- Christ. Just as in the first movie, deaths in mysterious circumstances start to happen around him and his family, and all those who are close to discovering or revealing his identity are a threat to be eliminated by a supernatural force or by himself. The film still manages to convey a bit of the chilling atmosphere of the first one, but it is not so convincing. This film sums up in this short sentence: Damien realizes and accepts what and who he is.

Opening in Israel a week after the end of the first film Carl Bugenhagen learns that young Damien Thorne is still alive and tries to convince Michael Morgan, a friend of his, to go to the United States to kill him. To convince him that Damien is indeed the Antichrist he takes him to see 'Yigael's Wall', a mural depicting the likeness of the Antichrist at various ages… neither man leaves the site alive.The action then moves forward seven years to Chicago where Damien is being raised by his uncle Richard Thorn and his second wife Ann, along with his similarly aged cousin Mark. Damien and Mark attend a prestigious military school where disciples keep an eye on the young Damien who at this point has no idea of his destiny. While this is going on various people start having concerns about Damien; not that they get to do anything about them as horrible accidents soon befall them. Eventually Sgt Neff, Damien's mentor at school, tells him to read the book of Revelations and he learns the truth about himself… initially this disturbs him but not for long.It must be said that this film is not as good as the first, however it is still decent enough. While it isn't particularly scary for the most part there are a few shocking deaths; most notably when a reporter has her eyes pecked out by a raven and is then hit by a truck and later when an elevator accident leaves a doctor sliced in two. There are also quite a few other deaths. The story is decent enough although the subplot involving a senior employee of Richard Thorne who believes the company should strive to profit from famine is somewhat unnecessary and equally unsubtle… is he trying to sound extra evil when he could just have well suggested profiting from feeding people! The cast is impressive with William Holden and Lee Grant impressing as Richard and Ann Thorne and Lance Henriksen being subtly menacing as Neff. Young Jonathan Scott-Taylor is impressive as Damien; especially as he looks on impassively as people die which gives the character real creepiness. The ending is perhaps a little too similar to that of the first film but that seems inevitable given that we know Damien must survive to appear in the third film in the trilogy. Overall I'd recommend this to fans of the first film.

After a popular The Omen featured a spooky child and some memorable death scenes, including the possibly best decapitation ever filmed, a captivated audience wanted to know what kind of a teenager Damien, now an orphan, would become. The answer was not the one they expected: the Devil's son had become KD Lang. With Dumbo ears.The beginning, a cartoonish jeep ride hysterically scored by a Jerry Goldsmith searching for the face of Jesus and manically played by an Ernest Hemingway wannabe, sets the tone for the rest of the movie. A priceless statue of the Whore of Babylon is discovered in some architectural digging site, along with a fresco depicting Damien, conveniently painted at the age he is now. The archaeologists are promptly dispatched and we can meet the Beast.Damien (KD Lang), now living in his uncle's (William Holden) estate, is quite the rascal, and a douche. Aunt Marion (Sylvia Sidney) dislikes him and wants him separated from his cousin Mike. This causes a feud at the diner table, after which it's time for The Super Duper Whore of Babylon Slide Show, during which the evil eye of a raven stops Aunt Marion's heart in her upstairs room.Uncle Richard is president of Thorne Industries, a vague yet powerful conglomerate which apparently owns an agricultural compound in New York City. The firm's new executive director wants to rule the world through seeds, which confirms than Monsanto IS the devil. This is established after another ridiculous ride, this one on a golf cart. So we have the demon, we have seed, let's spawn!Enter Joan Hart (Elizabeth Shepherd), in flamboyant scarlet red, and one gasps. The "young woman" announced during the slide show must be well in her forties. She's a good looking lady, but calling her a "young woman" is pushing the envelope a bit, underlining how geriatric the cast mostly is. The lady in red cranks hysteria up to 11 as soon as she appears, yelling "You are in danger!" to Uncle Richard. But she is unable to be more specific. She goes to Damien's football practice (hey, why not?), recognizes the face of Evil and flies to her prompt demise, a ludicrous raven attack during which Jerry Goldsmith, all barrels blazing, manages to over-score himself.One would thinks that after such a blast we would all have a moment. No such luck. Let's go jet-ski and have a snowball fight turned epic battle by Jerry in a trance! This is Damien's birthday, see, and no expense has been spared. There is the most hideous cake ever, a Polaroid with flash and even a firework which everyone watches in awe, sporting brightly coloured Aran sweaters. "Suspicion of destiny. We all have them", sagaciously observes one of the evil guys. The Thorne residence is full of random woodwork, delirious curtain arrangements and atrocious antiques. The most hideous family room ever doubles as a movie theater.People on the East Coast do love their sports; it's now time for an ice hockey match on the estate's frozen lake. Another good guy, who is clearly too old for this kind of activity, drowns when the ice breaks. Uncle Richard is devastated, his very bright yellow cap somehow undermining his grief.Back to military school, Damien is even more a douche then before. His sargeant (Lance Henriksen, always a good sign), wisely advise him to read the Book of Revelations to understand who he is. True to its name, the read, a bit like a user manual, allows Damien to locate the exact spot where the number of the Beast is tattooed on the skin of his skull. Accompanied by the 666 horns of The Goldsmith Fanfare, Damien runs through the woods, to the end of a pontoon where he screams "WHY ME???" to the dark heaven. Oh God. Why, indeed?A school visit is ludicrously set to take place during a very delicate checking process at the Thorne plant, now a chemical facility. Toxic compounds are released, killing another good guy. Damien has not been affected by the leak and a doctor runs some tests to understand why. His lab is for some reason full of bubbling red alembics you would expect in a witch lair, but not in a modern research facility.After discovering Damien has jackal blood (what, not hooves?), the good doctor is offed in an attempt to equal the surprise decapitation of the first movie. No raven this time, only the filmed evidence that the butter- cutting wire is a demonic invention.Uncle Richard starts having his doubts about Damien. Well, it only took him five violent deaths in his immediate entourage to get there. He nevertheless remains in denial when the curator of the Met brings him a letter of Revelations and a box. What's in the box? What's in the box? WHAT'S IN THE BOX?!?!? The Megiddo daggers, the only weapons able to destroy Damien. These, as the Whore of Babylon statue, will remain loose ends.Cousin Mike (remember him?) is troubled. He follows Damien out in the snow, where he has his head telepathically crushed. A huge funeral ensues, with mountains of flowers, a motorcade and more Goldsmith that it is humanly possible to endure.The Met curator is killed by nothing less than a locomotive, in true Final Destination fashion. A incongruous boogie-woogie cotillion happens for Graduation Day. Uncle Richard unsuccessfully attempts to kill Damien and is shot by his wife, screaming "DAAAAAAMIEEEEEN!"Should one mentions that the end credits roll on a bombastic "Ave Satani Versus Jesus" choir? Jerry, calm down. There is still one movie to be scored. There is no card indicating how many horn players were harmed during the recording of the soundtrack.
