Beals and Walken make it work but the missing (and quickly discarded) characters are missed.

They made 5 of these in this series. I recently watched all of these, because one of the pay channels had them all in a row. Christopher Walken is in the first three and is always fun to watch. The first one is ok. The second, third and forth are better, and the fifth is pretty bad.

Nothing succeeds like success. So when The Prophecy did well, that meant that not just one but four more movies would follow. And sure, the cast isn't as good, but Jennifer Beals plays a nurse who gets instantly pregnant with a nephilim baby thanks to a rebel angel moonlighting as a rock star, as well as a young Brittany Murphy, Eric Roberts (again, we are fated to watch every one of his movies) and Glenn Danzig as the angel Samayel, which was something that made me rent this more than once to see a short and gruff cherubim for a few seconds. Thoams Daggett is now Bruce Abbott from Re-Animator and is also a monk given to — cue the title — prophecy. That child of angel and human will stop the war in Heaven, so Gabriel is back to stop that child from being born. And man, Roberts plays St. Michael the Archangel, so you have no idea how happy that makes me, as the prayer of St. Michael the Archangel is filled with promises of stopping the devil in his battles against humanity. Walken does get off a few great lines, like this one: "I sang the first hymn when the stars were born. Not that long ago, I announced to a young woman, Mary, who it was she was expecting. On the other hand, I've turned rivers into blood, kings into cripples, cities to salt, so I don't think that I have to explain myself to you." This ones ends with Gabriel as a homeless human, cast out of heaven, but when there's lightning in the sky, you know that his story is far from over.

This is much better than most DTD sequels but it's not as well written as the first movie but the cast makes it watchable and I totally forgot I was watching a DTD movie because of the Star Studded Cast

Definitely see the difference in Direct-to-Video. Story isn't great. Movie is basically carried by Walken, Murphy, and Beals.
