Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace

I really don't have much to say, only that they got addicted playing with Efx as they are with Meth! As for Cuba? SMH!!! Went from Radio, Medal of Honor to this? Diddy do it? His performance on Boyz n the Hood wasn't that up to par, but was better than this... This!!! It damaged me, my eyes, ears, soul! The monsters look like paper mache or claymation.. I wouldn't have brought it out! Diddy Free Cuba! I'd rather watch Great Space Coaster or Reading Rainbow. Whoever directed this is not a good master at his craft! Only thought in yo mind, O" I got Cuba in it, he's gonna make me money. Well you got lucky but tricked the world, next movie won't be believable. Please make a better movie next time.

Gabriel (Josh Burdett) is an Iraq War vet who is struggling with his war experience and lost his faith. He is visited by the angel Balthazar (Cuba Gooding Jr.) who is recruiting him for a battle to save the world.

I do wonder if this is a sly under-the-table religious film. Apparently, there is a first movie before this which is far worst. My initial take is that Cuba is looking rough. It's been a rough few years for him and I can see it in his face. As for the lead, I don't know who Josh Burdett is. All I know is that he is not the leading man type. The whole cast is a little below requirement level. The CG monsters are better than expected. The directing is weak and the writing is bad. Mostly this needs better actors.

"Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace" attempts to reimagine the supernatural warfare theme introduced in the 2010 film "Legion," but falls short in several key areas. Both movies center around celestial beings fighting to prevent the apocalypse, with a mix of action, horror, and biblical elements. However, "Legion" delivers a more cohesive narrative, driven by a stronger script and better-developed characters.

In "Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace," the plot feels derivative and lacks the tension that made "Legion" memorable. The characters in "Legion," particularly Michael and Gabriel, are more compelling, with their moral dilemmas adding depth to the story. In contrast, the characters in "Angels Fallen" are somewhat flat, relying heavily on action sequences to carry the film rather than meaningful character development.

While "Angels Fallen" boasts impressive special effects and ambitious fight scenes, they often overshadow the story rather than enhance it. The film's pacing is also uneven, with moments of intense action followed by lulls that disrupt the flow. In comparison, "Legion" maintains a consistent pace, blending action and suspense more effectively.

The dialogue in "Angels Fallen" sometimes feels forced and lacks the gravitas needed for a film of this genre. "Legion," on the other hand, benefits from sharper writing that balances the supernatural elements with human drama, making it a more engaging and emotionally resonant experience.

Ultimately, while "Angels Fallen: Warriors of Peace" may appeal to fans of supernatural action films, it doesn't quite live up to the standard set by "Legion." If you're looking for a more compelling story with stronger characters and a better execution of similar themes, "Legion" is the superior choice.

The whole storyline had great potential, with the characters bond, and the monsters they are yet to go up against, the film seems to have something viewers would love to see. Unfortunately, the whole film was awful. The acting was terrible, and the fight scenes could have had a lot more, well, fighting in them. Instead, I feel the power rangers would be more interesting to watch. I'm actually quite gutted and disappointed really because I really wanted this to be a great success as the storyline is brilliant. Instead I deeply feel it is a great flop, but only because the acting was just awful.

The title was it all. I just watched what I could stay awake for of this movie on Prime. The acting was awful, the cgi was bad and the story was boring. Amazon ratings supposedly from this site are what got me to watch but they don't seem to match up since it is rated much lower here. This movie is a waste of someone like Cuba Gooding's skill level and surprised he would be in this. He was the only actor that did not make me cringe when they opened their mouth to talk. Even his acting chops could not overcome a badly written and corny script though. The other actors were wooden and fit the direct to TV stereotype of all the D movies my dad use to rent and watch. Life is too short - pick a better movie to watch or do use this one to fall asleep to.
