Summary: Not all that it seems
Comment: This is a movie I appreciate in terms of it having some interesting philosophical undertones.
The film is underappreciated; people try to make it out to be something that it is not. Of course it is not like the first movie, what sequel ever is? What would be of interest if it was just the same thing recycled all over again?
As for a weak script, I hardly see it. When Damien speaks to Christ and when he does the television interview, he's strangely...right. There's a sick sort of sense to what he says that makes one take a step back for a second and ask themselves, "Am I sympathizing with the Devil?". The third film gave something the others hadn't taken the time to address: what exactly is going through Damien Thorn's head? Why does he do these horrible things? It's what makes the movie viewable, even with its imperfections.
Final Conflict is definitely a flawed film, but at the same time it has a lot of facets to it that make it more than worthwhile. It isn't award winning or the glossed-up mass-marketed movie that people are expecting, and I think that is what gives it charm, and consequently causes people to brush it aside without really examining it properly.
It's not a bad movie, it simply is imperfect, and should be appreciated for what it is rather than what it isn't.

Summary: This one is suspect!
Comment: Now the first Omen is a classic hands down. The 2nd is just ok. Now this one, well it's only good as far as closure is concerned. Now this one does have a very interesting story with Damien coming very close to fulfilling his prophecy. The plot was interesting at times. But simply because it lacked a good horror feel and just felt more like,"things happening". The movie just suffered alot.
Sam Neill also did a good job playing the older Damien. But he wasn't scary in the slightest just twisted. The acting was mostly miss and I just couldn't really get into it. With the exception of one suicide, most of the deaths didn't really do anything for me.
If anything, this movie should be remembered as providing some solid closure. The ending is the only reason my rating isn't lower and I can actually watch this one again. The movie isn't too great but the ending makes up for it.

Summary: No mas!
Comment: The final entry in the "Omen" trilogy actually oudoes its predecessors: it represents the nth degree of cinematic tripe. Sam Neill's rendering of Antichrist conveys all the subtlety of horns, goatee and pitchfork. Moreover, his mass assassination of British infants could not be more ludicrous: such stuff really out-Herods Herod! Finally, the Bad Man's defeat plunges to a level of bathos unequaled in the annals of anticlimax: it makes one long for the old Elizabethan stage wherein demons made their exit through a trap door while flinging fireworks at this Sinful World!
Less horrific than horrible, "The Omen 3" is simply the nadir of filmmaking: an utter waste of time and celluloid. Is it any wonder that horror film cognoscenti--real Goths--prefer European and Japanese movies to such feculent products of Hollywood?

Summary: The Omen (the end)
Comment: At first, it would seem The Omen 3 (1981) is mistitled as "the final conflict" but really it isn't. This is where the franchise was plannned to end and where it should have ended. If you're as hooked as me and haven't seen Omen 4, stop with this one so you'll continue to have great memories ofthe frightfest called the Omen.
In The Omen 3 (1981), Damien is an adult and CEO of The Thorn Enterprises. He is a smart and charismatic politician and an extremely powerful man positioned to achieve even more greatness so that his father might one day rule the world. To stop him from plunging the world into darkness, there's a group of priests who are after Damien. Damien is well protected by his disciples and can only be killed with a special dagger.
Like the first two films, this film is well made especially considering most horror sequels end up being shlockfests rather than frightfests. The movie has several scenes that'll stick with you and another strong script with good performances from the actors. The story continues to be very convincing and very creepy. Overall I think that it was a solid effort and a great sequal that wraps up the trillogy though with a lot more gore than the previous films.

Summary: Da End..... Of Damien!
Comment: This is the true end of the omen series no including that horrible crap Omen IV. Damien finally meets his makes Jesus Christ and is destroyed. The action is great and the plot was set up well. This should be owened if you are a fan or just collecting the movies, it is really the last sequel.
