The endlessly resourceful Nicolas Cage, as a celestial angel, and a terrifically engaging Meg Ryan, as a pragmatic surgeon, create such blissful chemistry that they elevate the drama to a poetic level seldom reached in a mainstream movie.

A lovely oddity.

Mucha gente se la pasa viendo películas bobas como Bajo La Misma Estrella, pero antes de decir que esa película vale algo, primero deberían de ver esta.

Wonderful, about love, about life and about the fact that you need to appreciate what you have, and about the fact that it is better to know love, whatever it may be, than to just live.
The actors played well, the film is without unnecessary vulgarity and nudity, pure emotions.
I was missing something to get to ten, so nine points, a good movie

Only near the end does the mix of melodrama, mush and message get out of hand.

Angels, according to this movie's nonexistent logic, travel at the speed of thought and are invisible except to other angels, children, and the dying.

One of this movie's implications--and it's a common enough one these days--is that sensitivity is a quality impossible to find in straight guys. [20 April 1998]

The movie aspires toward a solemnity that Dana Stevens's prosaic psychobabbling screenplay cannot support. The movie is so busy being seriously romantic that it forgets the poetry, the whimsy, the airy mystery, the dreamy what-if of angelic contemplation.

Needless to say, in the age of inferior remakes, this would-be homage -- a sort of Wim Wenders Lite -- is a mawkish debasement of its source material.

Its a shame seeing this movie having such a low average. Well it might not be everyones cup of tea...i still think it deserved a whole lot better.
The story is about an angel (Cage) and a surgeon (Ryan) who meet each other.Needless to say this is a love story so im not giving any spoilers. Its really a good movie that even made me cry at one point and i dont cry often in life. If you can watch a movie without picking it apart and you love romance? Dont look futher.
But if you can only see Cage as an action hero... then stay away from this one.

I'm attached emotionally of this movie. The two of my favorite actors are in it. The idea of a falling angel is new. There is enough "garbage" ideas in it, but i can live with them. It is revolutionary so it worth to see it at least once. Meg Ryan is great: very good acting.

City of Angels pode não tocar as cordas do coração tão facilmente quanto pretende, mas os resultados finais nós deixa em prantos.

Bordering too many similarities to the decent Michael with John Travolta, City of Angels makes every attempt at being touching. Nevertheless, it doesn't hit its mark.
