Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: Some critics complained that City of Angels could never compare to Wim Wenders's exquisite German film Wings of Desire, which served as the later film's primary inspiration. The better argument to make is that any such comparisons are beside the point, because Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood. Meg Ryan stars as Dr. Maggie Rice, a heart surgeon who is grieving over a lost patient when an angel named Seth (Nicolas Cage) appears to comfort her. She can see him despite the "rule" that angels are invisible, and Seth's love for Maggie forces him to choose between angelic immortality and a normal human existence on earth with her. Featuring heavenly roles for TV veterans Andre Braugher and Dennis Franz, the film liberally borrows imagery from Wings of Desire, but it also creates its own charming identity. Cage and Ryan give fine performances as lovers convinced they are soul mates, and although the plot relies on a last-minute twist that doesn't quite work, this earnest love story struck a chord with audiences and proved to be one of the surprise hits of 1998. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very touchingI'll be honest; I love this type of film. I can suspend reality for a couple of hours and really get hooked on things like the supernatural and other worldly experiences. And mixing some of those elements with true love is a real winner where this film is concerned. It won't appeal to everyone but for those with a soft heart and a longing for the perfect scenario, then this is ideal. There's a beautiful ambiance with the film, enhanced by a fabulously emotive soundtrack and touching performances from Cage and Ryan. Amazon's synopsis and other reviewers have given enough information regarding the storyline and backdrop, so I don't feel it's necessary to mention these in any greater detail. But if you do buy this film - and if you're ... Read More: Rating:  - Film about angels = hell on earthI can scarcely believe that anyone took this movie seriously, principally because of Nicolas Cage's (par-for-the-course) appalling acting.. It is quite pitiful to watch him attempt to present a noble mien as the angelic character, cocking his head on one side; standing on a skyscraper in his long slouch coat, looking with compassion at the teeming millions below; speaking... very... slowly... to indicate that he is troubled by the torment of emotions which we poor humans have to endure. Really he is HYSTERICAL. What is even worse is his transformation into a 'human' - soulful, puppy-eyed looks at Meg Ryan accompanied by speech of a normal speed, just in case we missed the finer points of his change in characterisation. This movie is a total ... Read More: Rating:  - City of Angelsa wonderful love story, beautifully filmed and delicately acted. blubbed like a baby all the way though. Romance is not dead. Rating: - Too sugary sweet for meAn angel of death (Nicolas Cage) falls in love with a surgeon (Meg Ryan) and wishes he were a real man. I like love stories, but this was just too corny for me. Meg did her usual perky-girl-next-door thing but this time it felt fake. When she flashed her big trademark grin or let a single tear trickle ever-so-slowly down her beautiful face, it felt like she was just posing. I didn't buy her as a real person; too much staring thoughtfully into the camera and spouting trite dialogue. And who races downhill on a bike at the edge of a cliff with no hands and eyes closed? I'm still wondering why Nic Cage is a star. He played the same gosh-gee-whiz angel that Brad Pitt did in Meet Joe Black minus Brad's good looks and charm. His unwavering ... Read More: Rating: - BeautifulThis film has profoundly touched and moved me in a big way. It amazes me that I always end up crying every time I watch it (I have seen it countless times - but then I'm a big softy!) It's a statement about the power of love and the lengths that one will go to for their "true love". It has to be one of the most moving love stories ever made. You would have to have a heart of stone NOT to be moved by it. The film really speaks on many levels and I persoanlly have got a lot from it. The performances are amazing - it has a pretty good soundtrack too. Whether you have any faith or belief doesn't matter - watch the film and prepare to be moved and inspired, and for just a moment you might believe in Angels.... |
