I'm not sure whether the person who wrote this screenplay should be awarded a prize for sheer imagination or whether he should be tarred and feathered for being a complete moron. In any case, I have never witnessed an example of such bizarre mumbo-jumbo in my entire life. It's almost as if the writers were making up their own religion on the spot with no apparent sense of direction or purpose. In any case, this film essentially fast-forwards a bit from the last movie ("The Prophecy II") to the point where the nephalim, "Danyael Rosales" (Dave Buzzotta) is now a young man being hunted by the angel "Zophael" (Vincent Spanno) because Danyael might interfere with the plans of another angel named "Pyriel" (Scott Cleverdon). As everyone probably knows, Zophael is "the spy of God" whose allegiance is uncertain to everybody in Heaven and Pyriel is the "angel of genocide" who wants to be the savior of mankind by possibly killing everyone. Danyael, on the other hand, is "the word" and that apparently means something to somebody. In any case, Danyael has to be stopped. So does Pyriel for that matter. Meanwhile the archangel "Gabriel" (Christopher Walken) is still in his earthbound human form but has allowed his hair to grow and has learned how to drive. Throw in some dull performances by everyone except Christopher Walken and the film pretty much winds down to yet another strange conclusion which will certainly be addressed in the next installment. Definitely below average.
