James B There's not much that really happens in it but it's still entertaining somehow although Damien's death is not satisfying. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Justin T This has fantastic production quality. The locations/sets combined with subtle special effects and stunning camera angles with classic movement make for a great looking film. The sound is an improvement over the last movie with epic score and better balanced dynamics but sadly lacking depth of modern films. Perfectly acceptable though. It is actually quite a good trilogy but it does rely on belief. If you are not Christian then you can understand the themes but it is not as impactful. There are no big scary moments but more a sense of dread. The ending was pretty cool though. Much as it took me a while to get into it I found this a surprisingly memorable trilogy that has grown on me. Maybe if I rewatched the first two I’d rate them higher. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review J H How can a movie starring Sam Neill be so darn boring? Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/21/25 Full Review Ian H Pretty awful. Sam Neill does his best but this is pretty weak and cliched Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Blu B How...How in the world is this somehow worse than Omen II which was basically a Quasi retelling/remake of the first just not done as well. This idea should be AWESOME and sick with so many cool ideas and themes to explore. Damien on the cusp of suceeding and fufilling the prohacy foretold in ancient times? How is that not a sick idea for climatic epic showdown. And yet....it's terrible. The acting isn't good at all. Sam Neil is miscast and comes across as a whiny rich kid dweeb whose trying to act like Dr. Evil from Austin Powers rather than the second coming of Satan. He's over the top and clearly trying but it just doesn't work at all. They needed someone like a Brad Dourif type of actor instead. Everyone else is so robotic, wooden, emotionless and forgettable. The cinematography isn't good either somehow which is a shame considering how gorgous the first one was. The framing is good ill give it that in lots of it but the lighting is dull, it's very boring to look at in general, none of the set pieces are that memorable, and lots of scenes are stupid, bizarre, make no sense, or laughably bad. The kills are so stupid like iron, the dog making people kill themselves, Damien lying on the floor nude in the house in the fetile position, how a legion of thousands of followers are in a canyon waiting for his orders. None of it makes sense at certain points. The music is alright but very forgettable and while it matches the theme of this series and the first it just isn't used as well and isn't as catchy somehow despite being very simliar. The editing and pacing are terrible as well. This drags Terribly as it goes on. I swear it feels like the last 30 minutes go for like an hour. I think it really started to get draggy during that scene where they're hunting rabbits on horseback and it just drags so much. Beautiful location but not shot well, it's dull, and just drags. It's so boring at points depite being a ridiculous plot most of the time. It's really jumpy and never commits to ideas fully. Damien being hunted by the relgious cult, Damiens plans for world domination, his relationship with Peter, hunting the children born on March 24th, it jumps around terribly and never does anything with this stuff besides throwing ridiculous kills and moments that make no sense or are extremely farfetched. And it just ends with him being stabbed in the back in the most anticlimatic thing ever. This also is more plot focused than character focused as well. This should've stayed focused on Damien the entire way, explored his character and what drives him to fufill the spawn of satan prophacy. It's a FASINATING character to explore, arguably nothing else compares! But the poor acting, unfocused narrative, uninspired direction, and crazy plot just weigh this down terribly. I'm sad to say skip this. Worst of the Trilogy. Man if this is on of those movies that absolutely deserves a remake. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Sérgio N Após 3 anos da continuação mequetrefe, eis que chegamos ao desfecho clássico da franquia do capiroto encarnado. Aqui temos uma trama até bem razoável e plausível, envolvendo a política e dominação global (qualquer semelhança com a realidade não seria mera coincidência). Porém, é só isso mesmo. Não existe mais aquele clima sombrio ou aquelas cenas macabras lá do primeiro (que também quase não foram vistas no segundo). O final então, não dá nem pra comentar. Sam Neill, em um dos seus primeiros trabalhos, até tentou segurar o ritmo, mas quase não fez efeito e Baker em sua estreia também não disse (e pouco diria futuramente) para o que veio. Enfim, um pouco melhor que o segundo, mas ainda inferior ao primeiro. Franquia: 1976 - The Omen (4,5) 1981 - The Final Conflict (3,5) 1978 - Damien: Omen II (3) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/09/24 Full Review Read all reviews
