Benedito Dias Rodrigues When l'd watched not completely City of Angels around 2000 l'd found it 6/10, but revisiting the entire movie on Blu-ray and a dubbed version l'd change my mind, this remake of Wings of Disere deserve at least 7/10 indeed, has a brilliant adaptation to nowadays of this sobrenatural and romantic story, Meg Ryan is thin but beauty as Doctor who was depressed when a patient dies on your hands and Cage has a decent acting as Seth the rebel Angel..and Dennis Franz has a fantastic performance as a former Angel...touching romance,watchable and pleasant movie!!!

Predrag This movie is a priceless work of art: the script, cast, soundtrack, cinematography.. everything! It is also likened to an Aesop's Fable; there is a definite moral/lesson to be learned! "City of Angels" opens up the doors of possibility while reflecting upon the realities of life. Every day we walk upon the earth, and most of us move about oblivious to the higher powers that guide us. In the movie, angels are everywhere, mostly unseen. One of the most profound aspects of this film is the portrayal of every range of human emotion, from laughter to grief, love to desperation.I love the chemistry between Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage in here. She plays a Dr and he's an Angel who sees her in the hospital where she works. She can see him but he doesn't let her know his secret. The only way their relationship can grow is if he leaves his 'life' as an angel. He can leave the life of no death, pain and sadness, and trade it for a normal life that humans experience. They both act really well in this and it was good to see Meg in a more serious role. I cannot go into more depth without giving you the ending, but I have to stress that this is such a beautiful movie (ok a little depressing in parts) but overall so good. You will most probably need tissues; it never fails to make me cry. It's such a beautiful romantic story and an under-rated movie for sure.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

jack reeves City of Angels is that rare movie that taps into the same emotions as the best pop songs. It's not a deep movie. It's sentimental and it hits all the right emotional buttons.Like many great pop songs it celebrates the power of romantic love. In this instance, it celebrates the fantasy of the perfect love and lover as an angel. Because angels are divine and don't tell lies and make promises they don't intend to keep.Both men and women find this movie romantic, and that's unusual.Now, this movie is nothing to do with 'Wings of Desire', the film by the German auteur Wim Wenders - except for the original concept. It's definitely not a remake and implying it is sells both films short. They could not be more different: one is Coke and the other is Champagne.A lot of people were disappointed by this movie because they expected to see an adaptation of a European Art film without subtitles. Lovers of art films need to learn to read subtitles.For me, City of Angels is simply that one unforgettable summer. It's a glorious night of slow dances under a night sky full of stars. An ode to that one incredible impossible love and how close a dream came to being real.

FlashCallahan Seth is an angel who accompanies the spirits of the recently dead. Seth has never been human, so has never experienced touch or taste. He comes across Dr. Maggie Rice, a brilliant young heart surgeon who is devoted to her profession and her patients. Seth has the power to let himself be seen but Maggie finds him far too mysterious. He also meets a patient, Nathaniel Messinger, who has news for him - he too was once an angel like Seth but chose to fall to Earth and become human for love. Seth makes a decision on his future, which does not turn out as he had expected....If you really want to get soppy with your loved one, then this is one of those movies that will guarantee tears come the end of the film, as its one of those films that ticks every box in the romance genre.Made at the height of his career, when every film he made struck gold, Cage plays Seth with puppy dog eyes for the duration of the movie, and every mortal thing is amazing to him, but, he's really good at his role.Ryan is Ryan, playing the ditzy surgeon with so many choices and decisions after a tragedy. But Franz carries the movie and brings much needed warmth and love to the whole film, because if he wasn't included, the film would feel very sterilised and machine like.Seeing the film years later though did get me asking questions I wouldn't normally such as, what will happen to Seth? The guy has no financial stability, qualifications, or skills. I know its petty, but see the film with this in mind.The other thing is that Seth can be a little creepy at times, literally getting in Ryan's face and just following her about, the stalker angel if you would.But all in all, its a love story given the Hollywood spin, Wings Of Desire is a much better film, but this is still good stuff, even if its by the numbers.
