I was a big fan of the first movie; intrigued by the twists in the plot and how much the writers stuck to the "facts" about angels. (For instance, when Gabriel (Walken) is passing around his "horn" and the kids take turns with it, resulting in blowing out the windows.) Little characteristics such as these made the movie that much more pleasant for me. Usually, doing research on a movie after the fact and finding out that characters are made up are usually a let down. This is not the case, which kind of adds a realistic quality to it.
What made Prophesy II so much more interesting is that the writers introduced the other arch-angels, and a surprising Michael played by Eric Roberts. The other angels depicted in the movie do exist according to references on angels, and the fact that the writers took this much time to make it "accurate" was so pleasing.
The movie is essentially well-cast, the plot and movie much darker than the original, but overall quite a show. I recommend this to anyone interested in metaphysics, Christopher Walken, and anyone who loves movies that make them "think."
