Nice story but not at least scary

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2005)

I guess I've just had the wrong expectations. Not knowing it's a comic adaption I expected a horror movie like the exorcist (which is fantastic, by the way) Actually "Constantine" is absolutely not scary, but I liked it nevertheless. The story is really great, especially if you like paranormal films like "stigmata" ecc. Another thing that makes this movie worth seeing is the soundtrack. It really adds a lot to the very dark mood of the film. You don't have to be a comic lover to follow the story and get what the movie is all about. Keanu Reeves (John Constantine) tried to do a great job but after doing the Matrix trilogy he'll be Neo forever. The other actors (i must confess the only one I knew was Keanu Reeves) are not that bad, but their acting is definitely not worth the Academy Award. To finish my comment: Constantine is a movie you like because of its nice and easy story, the great soundtrack and its special effects. It's not a film you really got to spend money on, but it's better watching "Constantine" than some f****** teen comedy.
