Another comic book to film adaptation. The best thing about this film? Keanu Reeves wasn't in dark sunglasses. :))) Keedin'. It would definitely have to be the kickass special effects. John Constantine (Reeves) is a "gifted" man who has been given the ability to distinguish demons from humans, and he has been using this power to exor... read more

Based on the DC/Vertigo comic book Hellblazer and written by Kevin Brodbin, Mark Bomback and Frank Capello, Constantine tells the story of irreverent supernatural detective John Constantine , who has literally been to hell and back
I am overlooking the fact that Keanu Reeves is the star when I say this film is amazing. Visually stunning and well adapted to the graphic novel, Constantine is much better than expected. The appearance of Satan is far and away his best character cameo in movie history.
Description:John Constantine has been to hell and back. Born with a gift he didn’t want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision.

Born with a gift he didn’t want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil’s foot soldiers back to the depths. But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he’s a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroism. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn’t want your admiration or your thanks--and certainly not your sympathy. All he wants is a reprieve. When a desperate but skeptical police detective enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her beloved twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.... (more)(less)
“I got to see this a few months ago at a preview screening and it decent nothing great but a little disappointing.
Constantine tells the story of a urban sorcerer (Keanu Reeves) who helps a cop (Rachel Weisz) look into her sister's death which was cause by supernatural forces that is trying to steal souls and cause a war on earth. They both must stop an evil that not only threatens their safety but the fabric of the boarders of hell itself, which threatens to break wide open. It's a decent movie with some pretty good effects but it's hindered by a couple of glaring problems. One of them is in fact Keanu Reeves and if you call his range as an actor a series of glum expressions and moments of him staring into space for no reason at all, than you pretty much got him nailed.

""Hell"
John Contantine's trip to the wells of hell gave us a terrifying, painting-like vision, of eternal suffering.

"The Movie: Big-screen outing of DC Comics' cult anti-hero, a chain-smoking, bleach-blonde British occult detective.
Why It Was Hated: Chiefly, the casting of raven-haired surf dude Keanu Reeves as Constantine, although the gimmick of turning Constantine into a psychic also met with derision.
Typical Online Review: "Horrible and down right degrading adaptation of the comic book is a mishmash of stupidly masquerading as a film. Keanu Reeves should turn in his SAG card for his horrible performanc"
