First I didnt see any chemistry between Cage and Ryan who play their part pretty good, but nothing more. Second the image of angels here is a civilized one aka political corect if the term could be aplied to celestial beings.... Full review

Great moving for the thinking or wondering type. Opens you mind to wonder what's on the other side. For those that believe "when it's you time to go, it's your time to go".... Full review

This movie was amazing. It really delved into the side of angels that people don't think about. It was a very touching love story but wasn't fake. The ending was so sad, but it taught Seth(Nicholas Cage) many things about life... Full review

You mean to tell me that they get all the way up to the end of the movie, to kill the girl off. That really hurt my feelings. But overall, it was a good inspirational movie.... Full review

Wings of Desire was a much more deeply poetic, artfully contemplative film, whereas City of Angels is an enchanting product of mainstream Hollywood.....director Brad Silberling in addition to deleted scenes, a behind-the-scenes documentary, a featurette about the film's special effects, and the theatrical trailer.....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.....although the plot relies on a last-minute tw ...

Screen It! Entertainment Reviews
A pair of angels, capable of "hearing" human thoughts and always present to console the nervous and the dying, wonder what it's really like to be human. Regarding thematic elements, religious purists might take slight offense at the film's portrayal of angels, although nothing is purposefully done to be disrespectful. ... Full Review

The Cincinnati Enquirer
The movie looks fantastic -- spare and clean, dominated by neutral colors that late in the story give way to rich hues and organic shapes. City of Angels marries romance and faith in a love story as charming as a handmade valentine. ... Full Review

I didn't run out to see this film three years ago, even though it stars my beloved Meg Ryan, and I know my initial instinct was correct. I think the cinematographer had some trouble with his camera the whole time, because a good 90 minutes of the picture involves close-ups of Ryan's and Cage's eyes. ... Full Review
