City of Angels
The life of an angel Seth, who wanders Los Angeles, in order to make a company with people who are about to die and make a friendship wiyj them till they reach to the hereafter, has been changed completely, when he meets Maggie, a young beautiful and kind surgeon, with whom he falls deeply in love and wants to get rid of his immortality.

City of Angels raises theological questions, albeit in a somewhat pedestrian manner, and makes them an integral part of its otherwise formulaic plot.

A lovely oddity.

Strains to achieve the enchantingly sublime, but ends up sinking to the depressingly ridiculous.

The movie's eerie, slightly menacing vision of black-clad angels lurking in the shadowy corners of unsuspecting lives is genuinely haunting.

Funnier than Wenders' version, and it also succeeds in visualising LA as a magical city while dealing intelligently with the themes of mortality, sacrifice, free will, and the mixed blessings of the human condition.

A good deal better than it has any right to be.

It manages to leave a pleasant afterglow for those in the mood for its kind of loving.
April 09, 2005
An emotionally uninvolving flick that attempts to play on the heart strings of the viewer and fails in its effort.

My face had been locked in that goofy, awestruck expression you experience only in Spielberg movies. City of Angels demonstrates the best kind of emotionally manipulative filmmaking.

City of Angels is the sort of compromised movie that could have been almost good, but decided to be a great big hit instead.

Glossy romance as an angel falls for a surgeon.

As a remake it's not as poetic as Wenders' masterpiece Wings of Desire, but it's supremely mounted (by ace lenser John Seale) and contains touching performances from Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan deviating from their respective screen images.
