Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

fallen_forsakenever it was good i think it could have been better in some areas like a little more with the book it was based off of but other then that i like it it was pretty accurate angels were able to reproduce but were forbidden to do so at one point cant really remember why which makes me wanna do some boring reading but i do know there's no where does it says he took away there ability to do so it might sound it it says that but if that were true then other parts of the scripts wouldn't make even more sense then they already do. when it comes to religious things like this nothing is gonna be 100 percent accurate and there is many reasons why that is but too many for me to wanna list.

Charles Herold (cherold) I haven't read any of the Fallen books, but I'd like to take a look at one now. The movie was pretty entertaining. Paul Wesley was an unfortunate choice for the lead - he's one of those generic square-jawed types like the leads in the TV series Supernatural - but the rest of the cast was pretty good. The story was interesting and I just loved the dog, who was very funny and really caught the spirit of dogginess.I'm not sure what to make of the show's bizarre mythology, it's sort of like that Broadway musical about the Wizard of Oz in which the bad witch turns out to be a good, misunderstood witch. Here, the good guy is a Nephilim (who are very bad guys, incidentally, in the TV series Hex) and God has sent angels to earth who are horrible and murder innocent people with abandon.So I'm curious as to what sort of God we are expected to think put all this in motion. Is God a big picture kind of guy who sets things in motion and then sits back and lets them play out? Or did he have a plan and actually die and now it's up to everyone to manage as best they can? I'd be curious to know if it's as easy to come to the same conclusion by reading the books; perhaps they have a more detailed mythology that would allow for a different interpretation. But as angel movies go, this one doesn't really wind up putting God in a very kindly light (I've no objection to that, I just find it interesting).I'll also go against one of the other critics here and say I thought Tom Skerrit was the best actor in the movie and also that I liked the huntress angel, who apparently was a guy in the books.

SilverSpiderTM2 I found the Fallen books almost immediately after they came out in 2004/2005 and fell in love with them immediately. The story has everything anyone can ask for and more. Aaron is a very believable character. He's not the perfect messiah that everyone expects. He has his faults but that's what makes him so perfect for his role of redeemer of the fallen angels. Gabriel, his Labrador retriever, is one of the most dynamic personalities I've ever seen and I am so glad this was shown well in the movie.My only complaint is, of course, Verchiel. It seems like his entire character got changed. Never mind the completely unnecessary gender change. I thought the actress was weak and completely unfamiliar with the character she was portraying. Verchiel was an excellent villain the books. The movie version was a travesty. The character's untimely death is also baffling. I don't know what they're going to do for the other 4 hours without the main villain who lasted throughout all 4 books of the series.Aside from that I thought it was amazing. I can't wait for next summer and I really hope ABC Family decides to make this a regular series. I'd especially love to see more books.

ajcutler Fallen Angels are Good?!?Apparently so. Or they could be. This movie blends mythology and modern day drama into a whirlwind of prophesy fulfillment. "Fallen" brings together faith in the "Creator," explanations as to Angel's walking among humans, and that some Celestial Beings can be as crazy as we are. Hard luck befalls a teen and getting his crush to notice him does little to soften the blow. Magic and destiny plaque the mind of the viewers as they begin to wonder if the Angelic saints, that they know so much about, should really be considered saints at all.While the movie is a straight to TV movie, it did surprise me in being mythologically accurate and fairly well acted. Not an all-star cast to be sure, but all with obvious talent that I hope to see grow in many future films. This feature combines action, and family/school drama to tell a story that everyone has a destiny; and everyone is unique.
