Enjoy Constantine for what it is.

Rating: 8/10 (4 November 2005)

Constantine was quality!! A lot of people question the validity of claims that it supposedly makes about the nature of heaven and hell, but i think that people need to to like the film for what it is and not what they think it should be, its based on a comic book so it was never going to be an accurate factual historic account of the stories surrounding the passion - none of those are verifiable anyway. Its good!!, but its not a documentary or a factual programme. Its an action flick drawing on certain themes. John Constantine isn't wooden, he's bitter at the world, i don't think keanu reeves was auditioning for the new batman as some have put it, i thought it was a good performance by everyone, i really enjoyed this film, and i like the way that it manifested all the monsters and demons that people are scared of as opposed to 'leaving it to peoples imagination' which some people claim is scarier. but if you want to use your imagination, read a book, don't watch a film. personally, i go and see a film because i want to see someone else's take on the story, i already know my own!!!
