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.

Great but it's not a "dystopian reimagining of a world with superheroes" it's quite literally an allegory for America and the world as it exists right now. I tried to catch all the major obvious ones. There's a super cool Celeb Supes find Scientology parody in here that's brilliant.

Ironically the people who would normally be crying about how everything is super political and "woke" don't understand that lol.

Great material. Fine acting. Predictable, but the journey is the destination and it's a hell of a trip. I don't think there's anything like it on air right now.

If you're looking for straightforward Black comedy with a hint of satire or parody with actual storylines that are interesting, you'll find all that and more here.
