Gabriel (2007)
1/10
good idea turned into nonsense
12 February 2008
The desolation and deception of the Archangels, the struggle they've been through was a beautiful idea to construct upon in a very solid way. Unfortunately they pushed too far into a haze of nonsense that destroyed the characters aura. Michael is nothing less than a grotesque villain, Uriel is a pathetic drunk and Amitiel prostitutes as Jade whore. It could have been so much better than that. Even at the end when they could make some difference and save the day the mighty Gabriel childishly slides between love and hatred and leaves us with a very big question mark: what was it all about ? The characters missed consistency and purpose, as the whole movie did and I just felt that I have lost my time watching this. Although the directing was randomly OK, the script was weak and disappointing. As a rule of thumb, when you try to direct your own script there is a huge chance of losing touch with reality, so you people take care in the future because you can do so much better than this.
