[@Xehanort10]

10:34 I felt sorry for Robert Thorn towards the end of the original Omen. Especially when he's like "It's insane. I won't have anything to do with murdering a little boy. He's not responsible. I won't do it." He's battling between raising and loving Damien for 5 years before everything happened and having to stop the Antichrist's rise to power.

[@jonglewongle3438]

He is thinking that what Bugenhagen told him was still just a theory or an allegation which could be mistake or inaccurate.

[@tylerlucas3752]

I definitely agree with the ranking. It’s just a shame that Damien from Omen II (Jonathan Scott-Taylor) didn’t do more after this movie. I thought he was fantastic as a teenage Damien. The ranking though is spot on for me. This is how I would have ranked them. I love Sam Neill too but I have to agree Omen III was my least favorite out of all his performances.

The problem with Omen 4 and the remake was making the children aware. They acted evil. The original was scary because Damien was an innocent kid. He didn’t know he was evil.

[@jonsnow8766]

Can u rank all the children of the corn movies soon? That would be hilarious to see ur reaction to some of those films 🤣

[@KiramidHead]

One thing that was really weird about this series once I realized it was going on is that the timeline shifts somewhat with each movie. The first movie is set in the mid 70s, and Damien is 5. By 2 he's 12 and it's still the 70s, and he's all grown up in 3 and it's clearly the 80s. lol

[@jeremyzak654]

I think a lot of movies during that time period did that. Characters age but the world around them stays the same. It reminds me of Fable on the Xbox.

[@demonfordevine]

I like to think rosemary’s baby is a prequel to the omen

Hi, I definitely agree with your ranking. And I am soooo sorry some people were being assholes about your reviews. Funny thing when I commented on Omen II it was on AMC and I just had to watch it and laugh (it's my favorite Omen movie). And I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOUR REVIEW ON Omen III. I like Sam Neill too but I don't know what happen. I wonder if this was his first leading role or the direction they gave him on how to play the adult Damien. Again, AWESOME work!!!!

[@cinemasenses]

Wish I could share the love for the original but I distinctly remembering after watching the last time that it simply hadn’t aged well at all. Because of that I prefer the 2006 remake. You have me curious about revisiting Damien Omen II and The Final Conflict, both of which I’ve not seen in a couple of decades.

[@kforcer]

Omen IV basically traumatized me when I saw it as a kid. It was the first time I'd watched a horror movie where evil just straight-up won. It was also the first time I'd ever heard of the antichrist and all that stuff. I think the child actress for Delia actually did a great job and there were some legitimately freaky and weird moments, though of course there are also moments that are just outright silly.

[@JCStorm76]

Yep I’ve never understood the hate. Just watched it again. More entertaining than the boring part 3

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

The first film was so great because it was made by people who knew what they were doing, unlike the remake where I get more of an MTV vibe thus it's losing all the classic traits of the original.

I'll say with my ranking, reverse 1 and 2, it's close, but I do like 2 better, like razor shape close though. And move the remake to 5, but can keep the rest of the order the same.

[@alunfarr9221]

Did you watch Damien the tv series, carried on from the 1st film but as a adult and realising he was the Antichrist ... got cancelled after 1 season... but was actually ok

[@jonbolton3376]

I binge watched that over 3 nights last month. I liked the first 4 or 5 and the last 2, but wasn't keen on the middle episodes. I would have liked to see more, it's a pity it was cancelled.

[@daimonatkins3046]

A decade after the remake, they made an Omen series called Damien which tried to be a true follow up to the original movie It wasn’t a bad idea for a show except for a timeline problem caused by a 40 year difference between the movie and the show Unlike the Exorcist show that lasted at least two seasons, Damien was cancelled after just one season.

Watching Force Awakens instead of New Hope) Omen 4……well we know it’s straight to video so I don’t mind it (guilty pleasure)

I did like the adult damien especially the speech he did about his disciples of the watch. But I can see why you don't like it because like you said there is no creepy kid....and the baby slaughter scene i feel it would've been better if maybe they hinted more than show

[@Kirby-gu1lf]

Nothing was physically shown and it makes sense to have this as a plot pioint because he had to get rid of the Christ child. Damien is evil and it shows his possession of people that they would do that.

[@107g]

I love the omen movies they need to make another one

[@sethdefoor2940]

So I've only seen the original and the remake. I hate the thought of 3 being the way it is. I'd personally like to see a movie of the guy being an adult and knowing who he is and seeing him use his powers and charm and Yada Yada to the max. But I watched the remake the other day and it was a pretty good. Honestly I probably think that because I haven't seen the original movie in like 10 years, so🤷‍♂️ I'll have to give it a re-watch

[@Xehanort10]

2:45 The difference between Damien and Delia is that he was an innocent seeming yet evil kid but she just seemed like a brat they were trying to pass off as evil.

[@justicierodelaliga]

I waited to watch this video because I like The Omen trilogy (yes, I´m not going to acknowledge 4 and the Remake) and, because of Cody´s thoughts, I´d thought I knew how´d he rank the franchise...but no. I´m going to take a guess and say that he does this rankings right after having watched the movies not taking in consideration what the comments say. And, don´t get me wrong, is not that he has to. His opinions are his own. That being said, in the comments people argued favorably about FINAL CONFLICT and in those conversations 2 main topics stood up: 1. That the movies were not about a child (otherwise there wouldn´t have been a full story to tell in 3 movies) and 2. He didn´t acknowledge one of his dislkes od the baby murderers when people told him the reason why. As for 4, as horrible as it was, I gave an explanation of why it was done, and the story elements brought from the books. On top of it all, to say that throughout the movies that 1. He thinks the movies are about a child yet he complains that 4, to a lesser extent 2 and the remake are doing the same thing and 2. That he despises straight copies of remakes yet places that one on third? I mean, for as much as he dislikes 3 at least he should have acknowledged that it was the one entireñy new one in terms of story. So, just for that should have been his number 3.

Liev Schreiber is a good actor but, I'm gonna be honest Gregory peck's performance is miles better in the omen. Compare the scenes where the character robert thorn finds out his wife is dead. In the original you hear the sadness in gregory's voice and you actually see tears welling up in his eyes. In the 2006 remake. Liev gets the call and just says the word "what?" Lol I will say yes,some of the dialogue in the original is dated but, in terms of emotion Gregory out performs liev in this role.

[@jonglewongle3438]

Damien: Omen 2 was the best of them. Just a bit better than The Omen. Damien: Omen 2 carried through the archeology motif and the ' born of a jackal ' motif from the first film. It didn't lose the plot. The freelance photography inflections from The Omen was a master stroke, but the Yigael's Wall factor from Damien: Omen 2 was just as brilliant. The Final Conflict largely lost the plot. A lack of knowledge of the political in Damien: Omen 2 and that really shone through in The Final Conflict.
