What makes it different from others?

One of my all time favorites.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Gabriel is now a human after the events in The Prophecy 2, however the war in heaven still rages on. Pyriel rises to power and now he wants to destroy mankind. Standing in his way is Danyael who is the product of an angel and a woman. However Danyael is unaware why he is being courted by Pyriel and needs Gabriel to help him understand his purpose.This film starred: Christopher Walken, Dave Buzzotta & Vincent Spano.The Prophecy 3 is the concluding chapter of The Prophecy trilogy (not counting the two rip-off sequels that came out in 2005) and The Prophecy 3 was released in 2000. In my opinion this is the same as the second film only slightly better. The Prophecy 2 was dark and quite boring, this one tried it's very best with what they had left after the second film and in my opinion, I didn't like the second one, so for me it was too much of a task for the producers and director to do. I don't recommend this film unless you are a big Prophecy fan, because other than that this film will probably bore you like it did with me and in my opinion the only decent one is the first one, so I will keep that in my film collection but I will not miss the second one or this one on my shelf.**/***** Poor.

It's been a long time since I've seen "The Prophecy" and "The Prophecy 2", so I have to admit that my fading memories of those movies resulted in me being somewhat confused on some details of "The Prophecy 3". I do remember that Walken's character had been stripped of power and became a human at the end of the previous movie. But his character here seems different, not the villainous figure he previously was. He seems to have some kind of supernatural powers now. He actually seems to be angling to be a good guy at times. But anyway, I found his character to be very inconsequental - he could have easily been written out of the movie. Maybe that's why Walken gives an underwhemling performance here.I found the other characters to be poorly constructed as well. The main bad guy was simply not that interesting, with murky motives. By the time the underwhelming climax rolled around, I simply didn't care anymore.Anything positive to say about this movie? Well, for a made-for-video movie, the production values are overall okay. Despite many cost-cutting measures (like frequent close-ups and unimaginative L.A. and desert locations chosen), the movie looks okay to the eye. But even big-budget film-making would not have helped the sorry script.

hearken people...the angel's ain't singing glad tidings of joy but rather communicating through whisperings in your head that cause you to go insane or manipulate susceptible religious fanatics (the devil's minions) to kill others or themselves. pyriel, an angel even more evil than lucifer, has arisen to power and is on an undaunted mission to destroy all of us humans (after all we're just a bunch of monkeys) and to sew some new seed. now i am not one to think that all angels do not possess a soul, any more than i think that all people possess a heart and soul, but i do find it to actually be a tad bit pertinent and there has to be at least a measure of truth to angels pyriel and zophael and some humans method of madness...insidiously that of genocide...humans killing other humans out a sense of superiority over the others ethnicity, culture, belief system, and out of greed and power...sound familiar? what with all our new technology and the gross overpopulation of the earth we could very well be on our way to a not so nice ending...fueled by new and already existing wars (over oil) and skirmishes (from unintentional or intentionally plotted misunderstandings). we are living one of the most stressful moments in history with a very shaky economy (well the masses of poor probably do not notice to much difference).where religious fanatics and patriarchal based religions...oh yeah...that would be all of them, and corrupt politicians and greedy, power hungry individuals who are hoarding the wealth at the expense of everyone else. the devil (and for all we know that might be the controlling, manipulative, jealous entity that calls himself god that is in the bible, torah, qua ran or it could be those damn popes, bishops, and priests, etc. who rewrote a book for there obvious agendas.) has only to fuel the fire of discontent with alcohol "spirits" and drugs and increasing mental illness so that our Armageddon would just be perceived as us doing it to ourselves. oh, the good parts of the movie...danyeal, the son of Valerie Rosales and arch angel daniel, along with his girlfriend, Magdalena, are the two people who are going to change the course of the inevitable end for us monkeys into a pleasant one. they have the assistance of the "reformed" archangel gabriel at crucial moments (i am not personally satisfied that it isn't for altruistic motives...but he does blaze out into a coven of white doves into the radiant, bright light of god at the end. and courageous efforts of the morgue doctor, the encouragement from Mary who was a unwilling host to evil previously, and the sacrifice of his mother's and father's lives. anyway...a good reminder that we should all get serious about love, peace, justice, happiness and all the good stuff happening. and remember we need a beautiful planet to live on, so tread lightly...i am pretty sure there is no other place quite like it. so monkey's...monkey see..monkey do. be the change you wish to see. imagine all the people..! submitted with the utmost love and respect!

The third and final (as far as I'm concerned, at least, since I won't ever bother to check out the two remaining 2005 sequels) entry in the "Prophecy" franchise is an irredeemably weak and time-wasting dud. The second sequel to the really intelligent and ingenious 90's horror classic lacks pretty much everything you seek in a horror movie: a coherent plot, diversity between the good and evil characters, suspense & excitement and gory killings. Although Christopher Walken still incomprehensibly stars in the film, the new production crew has taken away the ONE element that made the franchise unique, namely Walken's malicious persona. After his defeat in the second film, Archangel Gabriel remained on earth but gave up on fighting the great heavenly war and became a hermit with long filthy hair. He still wanders around and observes the new angels that arrive on earth to fulfill his old task, but he himself remains on the background and even leans towards the good side. Can you imagine Christopher Walken as a good guy? What's next, Satan selling Girl Scout cookies for charity? The plot revolves on Danyael, the now adolescent angel/human hybrid son of Jennifer Beals in part two. He's killed in human form whilst blaspheming God but resurrects again as an angel with a mission. He sets out to the desert for a confrontation with Pyriel, the angel of Genocide, to end the Second War of Heaven once and for all. Meanwhile, there's another mean angel – Zophael – who tries to stop him. The main default in part three is the lackluster character development. With Walken out of the picture, the story lacks a strong and menacing villain. Vincent Spano and Scott Cleverdon can't hold a candle to Walken and Brad Dourif is shamelessly wasted in an insignificant role. A proper main character is lacking on the good-guys side as well, for that matter. You naturally don't accept Walken as the hero, but also the Danyael character is too weak and unconvincing. At a certain point halfway through the film, it even looks as if Joseph the pathologist – who briefly appeared in both previous installments – is going to become the leading man and that would be a really moronic twist. The special effects are lame and not the least bit satisfying to horror fans. The climatic battle between Danyael and Pyriel looks more like an MTV commercial instead of a horror movie finale. "The Prophecy III" in an incredible waste of time, money and effort. There are only two moments in the entire film that are worth mentioning and, of course, they both involve Christopher Walken. The first shows him visiting the same roadside bar where he went in the first film with Amanda Plummer and the second involves him trumpeting along with The Tornados' song "Telstar". Altogether these moments last perhaps 3 to 4 minutes and they're hardly worth the agony of sitting through the entire movie. Skip it.
