Hey everyone. I just picked up the Omen boxset and sat through all 4 films...I haven't seen the Omen discussed here too much so I thought I'd get some opinions form everyone.
Personally, I thought the first one was great...good suspense, good deaths and gore, good ending. Quality wise they rank as they come I guess. I liked part 2 but it definitley didn't match it's originator. Loved that elevator death tho...same with part 3...liked the story, loved the early gunshot death but still missing the intesity of the original.
However, I didn't even know there was a part 4 until I got the box set. Holy shit was it bad. First of all, how can 1 movie have 2 directors to begin with, especially when one is that moron who ruined Halloween 5. It really had that made for tv feel about it, then I found out it was infact made for tv...I guess for Cinemax or something....no gore, no blood, horrible acting and completely idiotic ending.
Still, love the first one and 2 and 3 can be fun as well. Opinions?

I haven't seen the fourth. I liked the first two and was greatly let down by the third. The third just didn't really give off the "the end of the world is upon us" vibe that it should have.

the fourth is the reason i havent got the box set, i'm wanting to get the first 3 just havent got around to em yet.

the 4th was just awful, i've seen some bad movies but that was one of the worst.

I bought the original Omen (7.5/10) on dvd for only $9.99 and I really liked it. Very eerie movie. I've seen parts of the Final Conflict, but didnt think it was all that groovy.

The fourth in the series was terrible! I didn't really like the third one that much either - not a patch on the first two.

I have seen the first two films. Both were pretty decent never seen number 3 or four must get round to watching them one day.

Omen 3 is worth a view, but I would seriously recommend staying away from 4. :eek:
