Not as good as the previous two movies...
9 July 2019
I've have just sat through "The Prophecy" parts one, two and three. And I must admit that it is of course because of Christopher Walken that I did so. I enjoyed the previous two movies a lot more than I did with this third installment in the franchise.

The storyline in "The Prophecy 3: The Ascent" wasn't just really fulfilling for me in a sense, especially because the Gabriel character had lost all of his charm and wits from the previous two movies, and Christopher Walken wasn't really given much to work with in terms of the character in this third movie.

It was nice, however, to see Brad Dourif in the movie, despite of having a fairly small role. It was a shame that his role wasn't bigger, because he could definitely have spruced up the movie phenomenally, and his character definitely had potential to be something interesting. I can't claim to be particularly familiar with Scott Cleverdon, but he definitely portrayed the Pyriel character quite well. And like Brad Dourif, it was a shame that he wasn't given more screen time. And Vincent Spano was also portraying the Zophael character quite well.

"The Prophecy 3: The Ascent" is not as packed with famous acting talents as the previous two movies were, which was a shame somehow.

There was just something missing from "The Prophecy 3: The Ascent" to make it as outstanding, interesting and enjoyable as the previous two movies. And as a third movie in the franchise it didn't really carry with it much from the previous movies, so you don't necessarily have to watch the previous two movies prior to watching the third movie. I would recommend it, though, solely for having the background of the Gabriel character.
