Are they trying to say Angels are not attractive? Angels are supposed to be beautiful but in this movie, Gabriel and Micheal were ugly.
shareI actually thought Michael was fairly attractive.
Kinich-Ahau / Kukulcan in 2012!
Its Paul freakin' Bettany... ugly??? Impossible.

Have you ever heard the saying 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder' Just because you don't find someone good looking doesn't mean someone else won't find them attractive.
shareAre you kidding?! I'm buying this movie just so I can watch Kevin Durand flex!
shareHere's guessing you're male...
shareThat's alright... the other Angels didn't need to be attractive. Michael made up for their lack of sexiness just fine.
"You're sick Jim, why do you always want to kill everything?"
I'm with you on that one. Paul B managed to still be sexy playing a drunk, abusive husband... being hot as a fallen angel is effortless.
Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.
I think you have a Hollywood version of an Angel in mind here.
The Bible says nothing about the PHYSICAL appearances of Angels, just that they are bathed in the Light of the Lord (Which we see whenever Gabriel came in or left, and when Michael left and came at the end as an angel).
You must also remember that Michael himself says in the movie that he was a soldier. To be a 'soldier' of the Lord doesn't necasseraly mean you are handsome or good-looking.
I will say that the choices for Michael and Gabriel were the right choices in my mind. If they were to cast two drop-dead, porcelin skinned, blonde haired actors, you would have not believed that they were - in fact - men of war. They needed to have that sense of ruggedness and 'sickness' and fatigue to be believable.
I also find both men to be quite charming and good looking in appearance.
Amen, amen, and amen to that! They are indeed charming and good looking and what I think archangels should be.

I agree with Victoria. Angels are the agents of God, so they don't really need to be attractive. And if I remember correctly, most of them don't even have humanly shapes. It was the artists that gave the angels human figures, so really, I'm under the thought that angels look different to each person.
How can vegetarians possibly love the environment.. you keep eating all the *beep* plants
I'll buy that. Like the perv in that creepy story(I think it was called 'Under the Hollywood Sign' but I'm not positive)who saw all angels as beautiful, red-headed boys.
BTW, I love the veg quote...

I'll have to look up that story, it sounds interesting. And thanks, but I love your sig as well. Very feasible defense.

Why did the angels have British accents? If anything I thought they would be Israeli or Palestinian since that's where it all started.
I wonder what Muslims and Buddhists get from this film...probably something like
"glad I'm not one of those folks who worship that angry old God."...where is all the love and forgiveness?
Well a lot of the artists that painted the Angels in the forms that they took were British or at least from the northern European countries. You could argue that the Angels took their forms from the paintings and the voices from the actual painters.

Besides, if you read the Quran there is smiting going on left and right. I am in doubt the Muslims would be wondering where the love and forgiveness are.
Intersting question about the Buddhists. I wonder - are they sitting there thinking "Glad I'm not a part of all this" or what?
Of course, the real answer to your question might be members of both of those groups are too smart to waste their money on this dog.
It was pretty easy to find. It was just plain creepy (and a little disturbing) to me, but I can see where it would highly offend some people and be extremely disturbing to others. It may have offended me at some point in my early life, but I have been reading Stephen King since I was 10 so maybe I am a little desensitized to disturbing issues.

well, all i can say is if Gabriel showed up in my bedroom, and he looked as hawt as Paul Durand? Believe me, there would be feathers flying all over the place.. He definitely got my attention when he made his appearance.
What a hunk!
some days, it's not worth chewing through the restraints..
