Constantine Review

bzqjasper

I just got back from the movies and I saw Constantine. The theatre was almost empty and that was an indication right there. The story slowly unraveled had some great special effects, but didn't have 1/2 the kick as The Matrix did. I know they wanted a heaven and hell Matrix movie, as much as they didn't want to admit it, but it just wasn't there for me. The whole smoking thing really began to annoy me. When you see 2000 times you will understane. The cheese factor was minimal too...there were only just a couple 1985 chessy lines so that was a plus. I give this movie 2.5 stars out of 4 for the special effects, editing, and soundtrack.

I enjoyed the movie, especially the ending. My favorite character has to be Gabriel.

Okay, does anyone find it weird that his first post on a PHP forum is about a movie? 🙂

Anyways, I thought it was just "a movie." Nothing memorable, nothing horrible. I would watch it again if it were on TV, but I probably wouldn't pay to go see it again.

Yeah, s/he was pretty cool (and a good actress). But I think it's bad that I thought she looked good, since she was chosen for her genderless appearance... But, whatever. 😃

All in all, I'd say it's right down the road in terms of movies. Not the Matrix good, but not the Matrix II bad.

mmm....androgyny...mmm

seemed to me kinda like casting crapfleck in daredevil. not quite that bad but still a waste of a good movie concept. surely you can find someone better at brooding and smoking than Keanwhoa.

i thought that dude who played satan stole the show. special effects were cheesy.

Smoking, maybe. But no-one broods better than ol' Fire Hazard (except maybe Steve McQueen - but he wasn't available). In fact, I think that's all he does.

Keanu mopes. Mickey Rourke broods--but he looks too old. Even with all the plastic surgery.
