Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

It's one of the most original films you'll likely see all year, which, depending on your threshold for certifiably crazy storylines, could be a rewarding experience or one that frustrates you.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I'll try not to make this a horribly long winded rant, so please bear with me, but am I the only person who in fact read the books then became excited about the mini series only to cry when watching it? Not because the story is sad, or anything or the sort, but because they've ruined the plot and the beauty of the original? It became so bad that I couldn't even finish the watching it, and would hardy let my mom tell me what had happened. I just couldn't stomach it.Verchiel is female, which had me blinking confusedly at my TV, and then everything that was to follow was just plain.. Outrageous. I found Aaron as a protagonist to be.. A disappointment, which is maddening, because in the books he is.. Very deep, and wonderful, and so many other beautiful things they didn't take the time to capture in the mini series. Sure.. I know they didn't have the time.. But honestly they could have done a much better job. They could have done him justice, they could have done the books, all the deep, rich and thoughtfully pieced together characters justice, but they just didn't.I don't recommend this to anyone. The books, yes.. I love them, and they have many a wonderful moment, all that make a sort of sense that's hard to find anywhere else.

Yes, he's back and up to his usual tricks, hoodwinking mortals and angels alike.This is 4 1/2 hours that would have been better spent having my back waxed.You can't really point to any one thing where this movie fails,but the sum of its failures is greater than the individual faults. The characters were unbelievable, the special effects were atrocious.I thought the flaming sword thing was the most pitiful aspect of it all.This aired on the "family channel" but has language I would not want any of my kids exposed to. I have noticed that a lot about this channel when they aired the original version of Hairspray and the high school girls are talking about Hair-do girl being a "whore."Really great family entertainment,ABC. Keep up the good work. I just blocked this channel on my youngest daughters satellite receiver. Nuff said.

Unlike the previous reviewer, I found this made-for-TV movie, "Fallen", to be interesting and well done. Though I think it would have worked better as a mini-series, and certainly needs to be fleshed out more, as a 2-hour made-for-TV movie, it certainly wasn't bad. Interesting concepts, and not overly religious (though it is based on "Fallen Angels", of course.) Seeing as it was A.) Free, B.) Made-for-TV, and C.) done without a HUGE budget, it was entertaining and kept me interested. The plot did meander at times, and the main characters weren't built up enough, but this is TV we're talking about. This isn't a big-budget movie, nor were there any "major" stars, though a few of the supporting actors are well-known. Overall, it's worth watching, and if you have TiVo (or your cable company's DVR), recording it to watch later isn't a bad idea.

is no. If you, like me, had already read the books behind the movie and had been eagerly awaiting the release, then I bet you were severely disappointed with what you got. If you said this was 'loosely based' on the book, it would be an understatement. The books delved so much more into Aaron's character(which was much more reserved in the book) and the others then the movie did. And why would they want to turned Verchail into a girl? He was a very menacing character when he was actually a he in the book, and there are many actors who could have played the part better.The one thing I was most disappointed in was the lack of Aaron's transformation. Sniegoski captured it wonderfully in the books, and the movie basically just skimmed over it. Overall, it really makes me wonder if the producers took the time to read the book before they massacred it.
