Sam Neil elevates the third installment in the Omen trilogy by portraying Damien as the evil incarnate he's destined to become. Unfortunately, the filmmakers miss out on developing a genuinely terrifying conclusion because, for such a formidable antagonist, the protagonist appears as a vision at the film's last minute to defeat the antichrist unimpressively.

A disappointing and flawed but still very watchable conclusion to the Omen trilogy. Neil's excellent as a in his prime Damien and really gives a starmaking performance here, you could see why he was on his way to greatness. James Mason was a genius for reccomending him. He's the heart of the movie and adds so much to it, without him it woulda been a total bomb. The gore and the effects are again top notch too, but it feels like they were trying hard in certain parts. What hurts the movie is the script and the direction. The director didn't have a clue how to properly make an Omen movie and it shows in the pacing and general flow, his commentary on the DVD/Blu Ray is also one of the sorriest I've ever heard, he was a goof. If Donner had directed it like they originally wanted it woulda been perfect. He woulda fixed the flaws and got it to where it needed to be. It'll be a what if movie for that, but as it is it's still very watchable. The sense of evil and dread is solid all through this, and the ending's perfect.

If you're looking for a final battle with Christ vs Antichrist, you probably have to wait until they actually show up in real life because it doesn't happen here. Props to the great Sam Neill as Damien all grown up but movie is overall boring, not scary at all and seems like it has no connection to the previous movies. The Antichrists time on Earth ends in a Wimper rather than a bang. Good score though. Bad ending to what could of been a legendary trilogy.

Body tension through 8/10, here is why? Samuel Neil from Jurassic Park that everyone loves from the 90s did the performance solid, the priest character is definitely the worst enemy of the film. His character could not be more stupid and how many times he said antichrist, probably less guess 10 of them and does it bother me well in a way yes. Did anyone think this is Sam Neil's Best Performances in the 80's before Jurassic Park? Yes everyone agreed that Sam Neil is the best part of the film, just like Russell Crowes Performances in "THE POPES EXORCIST" & "LAND OF BAD" and his next film "SLEEPING DOGS" he will ace it but unfortunately not KAREN GILLIAN yes everyone knows her from all three guardians of the galaxies films and the Christmas special. But Omen 3: The Final Conflict is a 8, unfortunately the priest is the worst enemy and character development because priests don't have a warrant and could ended in a criminal investigation.

Chicago Sun-Times

The first ten minutes of The Final Conflict are such a masterful job of storytelling... Alas, the moment The Final Conflict turns to dialogue and a plot, it loses its inspiration.

Rated: 2/4

The bad news is that Damien has a whole movie to get through before he gives up the ghost, and that the movie is a grisly one.

...Omen III is one daft addition to the demonology cycle, with the Jerry Goldsmith score and Neill’s saturnine looks just about overcoming some wildly wayward writing...

Sam Neill is adequate as Damien Thorne, presenting a smarmy and very smug quality to the character.
