Nick cave sing in the bar... YEAH!!! "i dont sing about a girl" -he say-

Sad and beautiful. The ending is a bit blah (I hated their first meeting because it just felt so horribly awkward and unnatural) but the entire viewing experience was pleasant.

A very intriguing and beautiful film. The philosophical questions, the implications of the march of time, the detached feeling of observation - it reminded me a bit of some of Terrence Malick's films. And I really loved the performances of Bruno Ganz and Peter Falk as well.

I liked it more on my second viewing than the first. It's minimalist in terms of script, but it's poetic and beautiful in a way that actually worked for me, which is unusual as I'm typically a dialogue kind of guy. Also, Peter Falk out of falking nowhere!

It was really good. It had great visuals, with some nice camera-work. The best part, however, was the dialogue, if you can call it that. A lot of it bordered on poetry. Lots of existential ponderings, which I enjoy.

It's awareness of the camera and movement through scene are brilliant, engulfing us in this realm split between the real and the spiritual, it just seems that some moments weren't handled as well as they could have (their meeting in the bar, for one).

After great reviews, I had high expectations. But, I am not fond of this movie. It is very pretentious and arrogant. It takes forever to get anywhere, and when it does finally start telling a good story it quickly turns tragic. There was too much tedious nonsense, superstitious bunk, and then they pulled the rug out from under the main character after he makes his big sacrifice. That just took the heart out of it and rendered the movie pointless for me. Perhaps not a waste of time, but nearly.

The potential was there, but something about it bugged me. I mean the guy quit being an angel just to experience the worst life has to offer, (blood, coffee, cigarettes, and depressed loser punks) what's up with that?

As poetic and as artsy as it gets, this is a magnificent piece of work that could only come from the smooth, sooth mind of Wim Wenders.

A beautiful movie, the difference between our human view of earth and the angels' is done so well I found myself almost overwhelmed when the switch to human view occurred due to the increase in noise and color. Each character was a joy to watch, especially Peter Falk. My only real letdown is the ending which felt a little passionless, though I feel pretty certain if I understood German their first meeting would have had a little more potency.

Beautiful and clever, but so dry that it's almost parching.
