In the grand scheme of theological thrillers, Constantine aspires for the greatness of The Exorcist but ranks more closely with The Order. Based on the popular Hellblazer comic book series, and directed with nary a shred of intelligence by music video veteran Francis Lawrence, it's basically The Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming machines. Keanu Reeves slightly modifies his Matrix persona as John Constantine, who roams the dark-spots of Los Angeles looking for good-evil, angel-devil half-breeds to ensure that "the balance" between God and Satan is properly maintained. An ancient artifact and the detective twin of a woman who committed evil-induced suicide (Rachel Weisz) factor into the plot, which is taken so seriously that you'll want to stand up and cheer when Tilda Swinton swoops down as the cross-dressing angel Gabriel and turns this silliness into the camp-fest it really is. The digital effects are way cool (dig those hellspawn with the tops of their heads lopped off!), so if you don't mind a juvenile lesson in pseudo-Catholic salvation, Constantine is just the movie for you! --Jeff Shannon

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - I'll Be Trading This Into the Local DVD Store
I'm not sure if I've ever seen potential so utterly wasted as it is in "Constantine." I mean, you've got a good supporting cast in Rachel Weisz and Shia LeBeouf, astounding special effects, and... it's based on the friggin' Hellblazer comics. Such a great opportunity to tell a dark, inventive, scary story about what it means to be a hero fighting for redemption. But, though things clearly started to go awry in the writing stages, the screenplay wasn't utterly awful... it was just pretty bad. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Constantine
received in time to mail this off for the b-day gift it was intended for. came as discribed



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Overburdened by Religious Overtones
While the film includes some interesting visuals, it is bogged down by rather heavy-handed Catholic theology. If you don't subscribe to such beliefs, like me, you find yourself unable to care about the plot or see it as worth your effort to understand. All in all, I was rather bored by the end and found myself looking at the clock. It felt like I was watching the Catholic equivalent of the cheesy Protestant _Left Behind_ series.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Startling vision with some surprises
I am a person that is not at all familiar with the source material that Constantine is drawn from. I also read some other reviews here and found them mostly not helpful as they are dominated by fans of the graphic novels(?) picking at details that most people won't ever notice (like me).

Constantine is what I call a great versus movie. One guy against big odds trying to find a way to win. In this case, it's one man versus Hell and Heaven (Hell mostly) trying to stop the end of the world. ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - amazing film - amazing transfer
