Displaying precisely the imagination that gave the world such epic achievements as The Star Chamber and The Relic, Hyams dusts off America's designated import and goes with Arnie Schwarzenegger his own self.
End of Days keeps asking whether faith or force will save the human race, before hedging its bets and insisting on both. Neither will be enough to save relics like Hyams and Schwarzenegger from their long, affluent drift into irrelevance.
As incoherent about its mysticism as it is about anything else.
Think of End of Days as Hollywood's own Y2K bug.
You'll walk out of End of Days wanting to pick a fight with Arnold Schwarzenegger. That's how bad this flick is.
Schwarzenegger fans will probably be pleased, action lovers won't be bored, and the Catholic League will be angry. Everyone else will see End of Days for what it is: a deliciously bad motion picture.
Tired dud of an over-the top violent action movie.
The movie pits Arnold Schwarzenegger against the devil (Gabriel Byrne), with director Peter Hyams delivering tense moments of action amid not-so-subtle choices for character development.
The plot is such hooey...and the plot holes so gaping that End of Days proves more exasperating than enjoyable. [Blu-Ray]
Never rises to the realm of exciting.
Part of the degraded charm of End of Days is its buffet-table derivative approach.
Starts by stealing bad ideas from other movies, then it putsthem together in the wrong order and casts the wrong actors to play the parts. In other words, it's one of the worst movies I've seen this year.
End of Days isn't complete waste of time but all those who watch it would probably agree that this film's days were numbered long time ago.
Sort of like listening to that old Toto album tucked away somewhere in your music collection. You remember thinking you used to like this kind of stuff, but you can't quite recall why.
A lot of fun, but not a great movie.
Idiotic beyond the point of redemption, this sinfully stupid farrago manages to insult audiences and critics, Christians and Satanists alike, reducing 2000 years of fertile mythology to the level of an incoherent pop video.
Loud, lurid, bloody and ridiculously entertaining.
