Show of hands-- who else liked it?

I did find it delightfully blasphemous

Just watched the first 3.

The original is still the best, I'd give it a 9.

Couldn't stand part 2, it's pretty much useless to the series, I'd give it a 3. Maybe that's even too generous.

This one (part 3) is a vast improvement over the 2nd but still nowhere near the quality of the first. I'd give this one a 6.

I liked this movie too. Part 2 is my absolute favorite and is one of the best sequels I've seen, so after that it had a lot to live up to. But as you said it had a beautiful and satisfying conclusion which I felt was a great way to finish off the character Damien. It isn't quite as good as the first two but it is still worthwhile.

Death lives in the Vault of Horror!

I thought it was a quite good movie even if I found the ending a bit flat.

I rate Omen III on a par with Damien Omen II, although neither of the sequels lived up to the original. Because the film returned to England, Omen III in some respects had more of a feel of the first film. It even included scenes of the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square, London 'a la Omen I'.

Omen III had great music and some scenes were beautifully done. In terms of 'scare-factor' I think it edged Omen II. Sam Neill was the perfect choice for Damien. IMO the plot should have been different. I loved the idea of the seven priests on a mission to kill Damien - but the first four were made to look like bumbling idiots.

The whole 'second coming of Christ' - was interesting but they didn't really pull it off in the film. The 'disciples of the watch' killing babies was silly and totally unbelievable.

The one character in the film who I loathed was 'Harvey Dean'. He was utter crap - always sucking up to Damien. He didn't even exhibit any malevolence whatsoever. Damien should have had an inner circle of evil 'disciples', who could have been initial targets for the priests to kill. But no - he had 'Harvey Dean' as his sole sidekick throughout the film. IMO the Harvey Dean character had far too much of a role and because he figured in the plot - the film suffered because of it.

I'm sorry to say this, but "The Final Conflict" is a good (if not great) movie, and a satisfying (if not entirely enjoyable) conclusion to one of the most promising sagas in cinematic history. I think the ending was magnificent and very reassuring (as a non-Christian!), and some of the imagery in the film is actually quite beautiful. Also-- I'd watch Rossano Brazzi in anything. Heh. But really, can I hear anyone agree with me? I'm sick of watching this film get brutalized. It's not as great as the original, but it's a far cry better than "Damien" and infinitely better than "The Awakening" and the needless 2006 remake.

I saw it opening night in 1981(yes, I'm old), with two friends(we were all underage, but the theater was more interested in our money than legalities). All of us really liked it;I loved it, especially Goldsmith's amazing score, the Fox Hunt scene, the photography, and the feeling that this was not only a horror film, but in some weird way, a Biblical movie. The movie has flaws for sure, but it's much better than it's given credit for, and the score may be Goldsmith's masterpiece(and that's saying a lot, considering all of the other great scores he composed).
