After being taken to hell at the end of the first film, Gabriel (Christopher Walken) claws his way back to Earth. Once again he is intent on destroying mankind because God loves them more than him.
Basically, what we have here, aside from a sequel to a movie that didn’t really need one, is a dumbed down, simplified for the masses, more action less story, version of the first film. It still isn’t terrible, Walken gives enough to make this film not a complete waste. Walken is quite funny as Gabriel, his reliance on his suicidal helper because he can’t use a computer or drive, and now I can’t picture an angel without hearing his stilted speech.
The story is just to overused, and whatever originality the first movie had is gone by now. Also, it really isn’t all that different from the first movie. This is my big problem with some series, there is a lack of difference between each installment. Kinda why I lost interest in the Harry Potter books, oh wow, the bad guy is Voldemort. Well, seeing as there are still 3 more sequels this is a high point in a quick descent into awfulness, 2 Axes.
