They decided that now (now being around 2006) was the time to redo Damian's origin story!
I should just copy and paste the summary from the first post, because this is just the same movie again. Many scenes are repeated, almost verbatim, but with one small issue... it is worse. This movie doesn't bother introducing characters, they just appear. Need the nanny to kill herself, bam, suddenly we have a nanny and she kills herself. Need an old scholar? Just namedrop Bugenhagen without establishing him. Cut to the thing already in progress, and just whatever.
And I'm not sure at all why they bothered to remake this. Some scenes are very early 2000s with how they are shot, but there isn't anything new being said. The movie starts with saying "things like 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina mean we are in the end times," but otherwise this is just the same movie as what we had before, nothing new added.
Certainly lots of big names here. Liev Schreiber, Julia Stiles, Mia Farrow, Pete Postlewaite, and David Thewlis doing a good impression of David Warner.
Well, that's it. There are no more Omen movies to watch... aside from the one that just came out, but I'll likely wait for the VOD for that.
