Awesome movie, but has few problems

Rating: 9/10 (12 February 2005)

I saw the movie at West Point... We got to see the movie a week ahead before it's release. I have to say it was like the "Matrix" but with hell added into the mix and a bit of "Die Hard". Reeves seem to bring Neo into this movie, which was a bad. Some of his acting went bad, when he tried to be too serious. Shia LaBeouf's character Chas Chandler was good, very good acting from him. Problem? Yes, he dies in the movie for not much of an explained reason. Tilda Swinton's character Gabriel kills him by slamming him into the ceiling 2 or 3 times!? I am not too sure why, I guess it was to allow Lucifer's son to come to our earth. But LaBeouf's character was very enjoyable; I am not too sure why he had to be removed. Also the ending kind of sucked, Rachel Weisz character Angela Dodson ignores Constantine proposal to date him. She walks away, and then the audience booed her. Why would she walk away after he sacrifices his life to save her? Now for Peter Stormare, as Satan he was kind of cool, but they could of given him the classic devil goatee look and a black tux instead of white. He looked more like a God like character then the devil himself. His acting, perfect and humorous, Lucifer's licking on Constantine was very funny and disturbing at the same time. So all in all it was a great movie, but very hard to understand if you haven't read the bible.
