Excellent, Without a doubt!!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The story is preposterous but funny and the action is great. Plenty of stunts, fire, plosions, mayhem and chases. The devil's reproduction is quite a challenge with complex protocol for the poor animal and only once in a 1000 years.

Continuing my plan to watch ever movie in Arnold Schwarzenegger's filmography in order, I come to his last movie of the 1990's End Of Days.Plot In A Paragraph: At the end of the century, Satan visits New York in search of of woman to bare his child. It's up to an ex-cop (Arnie) to stop him.It's well known in Hollywood, You are only as good as your last movie. Arnie's last movie killed a lucrative franchise and sent several careers into decline. It had been over two years since Batman & Robin hit theatres, that is a long time for a workaholic like Arnie. Considerably darker than your average Arnie action flick, but it's also more absurd at times. Kevin Pollack offers solid support, but Gabriel Byrne gives a slightly subdued performance. I remember a few things about the production of the movie, the original director quit, after his ridiculous on set demands were released, an alternate 'resurrection' ending failing with text audiences, and reading a review at the time of its release saying "Why Schwarzenegger would want to get himself involved in something as insane and nasty as this, in his comeback movie is beyond me" In his autobiography Total Recall, Arnie talks about how after his heart surgery, studio's were not returning his calls, and movies he had lined up, suddenly got put on hold (With Wings As Angels, Minority Report, Noble Father, SWAT, Crossbow and Pathfinder) or worse, cancelled (Fox backed away from T3 and Warner put the brakes on I Am Legend by slashing Ridley Scott's budget from $100 million to $80 million) and when he finally got cast in this movie, he turned up for his first day of shooting, to find studio executives and insurance people there watching his every move. The 90's ended with a whimper, rather than a bang for The Oak, as End Of Days wasn't the hit Arnie was hoping for, ending the year the 33rd highest grossing movie, with a domestic gross of $66 million.

As we approach the turn of the millennium, the Devil seeks to fulfill the prophecies about the birth of the Antichrist, looking for a bride in New York. Directed by Peter Hyams, with a script by Andrew W. Marlowe, this film has Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne and Robin Tunney in the main roles.One of the last films of the past millennium, it precisely addresses the end of it and the apocalyptic prophecies about that. It's a quite grim film, which puts the audience in suspense from the very beginning. The dark picture helps to amplify these feeling, with the most scenes taking place at night or on foggy or rainy days in New York, depicted like a real and decadent "sin city". The darkest character is undoubtedly the Devil, but the police fighting against him (played by Schwarzenegger) also has to face his own demons: alcohol, deep depression, lack of faith and lack of self-confidence, in a double combat, physical and psychological.The film has great action scenes which strangely cohabit with several heavier scenes, almost terror. In fact, this is the major flaw of the film: it lives in a permanent dilemma between terror and action, thriller and suspense. We cannot say it's a horror movie or a thriller, or action. It's a mixture of all, which ends up easily displeasing the public looking for just one (particularly the terror lovers, as the film never gets to scare us truly). The climax is very interesting, makes good use of special visual and sound effects, manages to surprise and not be predictable, but some of the effects (the monster) are so "cliché" and far-fetched that destroy what was good.The work of the actors is fairly good. This film marks the end of a comedy decade in Schwarzenegger's career, and he seems convincing in his role and doesn't make mistakes, giving another proof of versatility. He wanted, truly, show that it's not only a lot of muscles, and he succeeded. Robin Tunney looks a bit bland and hysterical in the role of Christine. Byrne made an interesting devil, very calm and cold, able to boot chills through the simple look. The soundtrack doesn't stand out particularly, with the exception of "Agnus Dei", it's main music, combining incidental chords with small arrangements of Gregorian chant.

Jericho Kane finds himself caught in a battle against Satan who has came to Earth to find himself a mother for his son. As the clock winds down toward the fulfillment of a prophecy that would usher in the end of the world. Jericho must protect the girl and save the world from Armageddon.This film starred: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Gabriel Byrne & Robin Tunney.END OF DAYS was released in 1999. This is a really bad film in my opinion. I hated this film. Arnie was disgraceful playing a role that he has played a couple of times, a person who works in the emergency services and his family is killed when he can't do anything about it. I'm talking about this film and COLLATERAL DAMAGE. I really don't recommend this film it is a stupid action/horror/thriller whatever this film is. It had potential and blew it all away with stupid acting performances.*/***** Awful.
