Review of End of Days

End of Days (1999)
7/10
Very loud, very violent, very stupid, very fun!
1 December 1999
"End of Days" logically, is a ridiculous movie. Satan comes to Earth, possesses somebody (Gabriel Bryne) and has to have sex with a certain woman at 12:00 Jan 1 2000 and the world will come to an end (or something like that). Enter Arnold to save the day. I'm giving the plot as short a write-up as the actual writers did. The plot is dumb from the word go, there are laughable leaps of logic (see how Arnie and Tunney escape from a subway train hurtling to them--actually had me yelling out "Oh come on!" out loud), needlessly LOUD (has to have more explosions than I've ever seen in any motion picture), crappy acting (except for Bryne who's obviously enjoying himself) and needlessly cruel (a main character gets crucified...for no reason) but I had a fun time! If you can turn off your brain you'll have a great time. The movie is never dull (SO much action) and the exposition (what there is of it) is SO lame and badly acted that it becomes fun to listen to! So no great movie at all...just dumb, loud and violent. If you're in the mood, you'll have a great time!

When I saw it there were two kids in the audience who couldn't have been more than 13. They howled through the movie and walked out saying, "Boy was that DUMB!" That should tell you something.
