Critics Consensus

An overblown thriller with formulaic action scenes and poor acting.

Paul Tatara

Arnie's not taking any chances this time, and the result is the most questionably repulsive big-budget film in recent memory.

Tired dud of an over-the top violent action movie.

Rated: 2/5

Newsweek

Peter Hyams's lurid, FX-happy thriller slams pieces of a dozen other movies into a noxious new compound. It has to be seen to be believed, but who'd want to?

Akron Beacon Journal

End of Days is never interesting and usually silly, but it might help Arnold get some momentum if he really does run for the governorship of California. At least he'll get the anti-Satan vote.

Rated: 1.5/4

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

The fatal flaw lies in the fact that the Devil, especially when personified by a talented and handsome actor like End of Days's Gabriel Byrne, is actually much more compelling and personable than the hero.

Bangor Daily News (Maine)

The movie pits Arnold Schwarzenegger against the devil (Gabriel Byrne), with director Peter Hyams delivering tense moments of action amid not-so-subtle choices for character development.

This movie is the equivalent of eating oatmeal while watching paint dry in the back drop of grass growing. none of the characters make any kind of lasting impression. This movie is 2 hours and 1 minute of just... movie

This has to be one of the MOST UNDERATED films of all time. It didn't get the credit it deserved and I think I know why. For starters, at the turn of the millennium, only Christians were interested in Christian movies and this movie simply had too much profane language and nudity to cater to that demographic. I was one of few Christians who sucked it up and watched it anyway but most didn't. The atheist crowd never cared to even give it a chance because of the religious theme. This film did a great job however at capturing the nature of satan vs the nature of God. This is still one of my favorite movies of all time.

This movie falls in the middle of Arnie's filmography. Not in the top, but also not in the bottom. It's a serviceable movie, decent action and acting, the plot isn't anything new or flashy, its a fairly straightforward story. Arnold gave a more layered performance and took more chances than you saw him do earlier in his career. Worth a watch to kill some time and unwind for a bit.

Um bom filme de terror e ação, um começo chato, cansativo e sonolento, que vai ganhando contorno menos entendiantes no seu decorrer, religioso demais, bem x mal, diabo x Deus, Robin uma fofa linda e Schwarzenegger o robozão com arma… Gostei da analogia do famoso Bug do milênio (que nem aconteceu) com o nascimento da besta mil anos depois, e em 1979 nasce a mãe do demônio, eu nasci em 1979, devo ficar preocupada? Kkkk Não era mais fácil só retirar o útero da pobi… Legalzinho, pouco terror...

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Have to disagree with the critics, Gabriel Byrne is terrific as the devil. The performances from the cast really elevate this. Underrated gem for me.
