Lucinda (Addison Timlin) gets into trouble and goes to "Sword and Cross" aka bad teen school. Here she goes googly-eyed over two boys and discovers that her and just about everyone there is a fallen angel. Now if you think that is a plot spoiler, you slept through the opening monologue reinforced by the classroom scenes. Actually there are no such thing in theology but if you create a series around it, it must be true.The film is filled with teen angst and I can see where it would have a tween girl appeal, but as they enter adulthood they will see it is as nauseating as "Twilight" and just as poorly acted. I had trouble keeping my supper down watching the film, especially when the blond good guy and dark haired bad boy fight over Lucinda. The 12 year old girl might love it while the rest of the family groans.

it was good i think it could have been better in some areas like a little more with the book it was based off of but other then that i like it it was pretty accurate angels were able to reproduce but were forbidden to do so at one point cant really remember why which makes me wanna do some boring reading but i do know there's no where does it says he took away there ability to do so it might sound it it says that but if that were true then other parts of the scripts wouldn't make even more sense then they already do. when it comes to religious things like this nothing is gonna be 100 percent accurate and there is many reasons why that is but too many for me to wanna list.

I have to be honest. I was into this for the special FX. But as i Watched it, I thought, Great plot. I got more into it than i thought i would. With a budget of 7,500,000 , I thought it did a great job. What i liked most was Tom Skerritt. I think I like his work most in Category 7: The End of the World. This Movie is a pretty good Movie for a family with a little older kids. I did get a little anoid with the actress which played the leader of the powers. They did good though with the casting. I Thought the directing and script was also pretty good. They should get some points for that. Its worth seeing. I hope it comes out on DVD.

I found the Fallen books almost immediately after they came out in 2004/2005 and fell in love with them immediately. The story has everything anyone can ask for and more. Aaron is a very believable character. He's not the perfect messiah that everyone expects. He has his faults but that's what makes him so perfect for his role of redeemer of the fallen angels. Gabriel, his Labrador retriever, is one of the most dynamic personalities I've ever seen and I am so glad this was shown well in the movie.My only complaint is, of course, Verchiel. It seems like his entire character got changed. Never mind the completely unnecessary gender change. I thought the actress was weak and completely unfamiliar with the character she was portraying. Verchiel was an excellent villain the books. The movie version was a travesty. The character's untimely death is also baffling. I don't know what they're going to do for the other 4 hours without the main villain who lasted throughout all 4 books of the series.Aside from that I thought it was amazing. I can't wait for next summer and I really hope ABC Family decides to make this a regular series. I'd especially love to see more books.
