Let's hope they don't make a sequel

Rating: 4/10 (8 February 2005)

If you liked the comic, you'll probably hate the movie. They took everything distinctive about the comic and made it into a cross between "Blade," "The Sixth Sense," and "The Heavenly Kid." If you like exploding demons and gimmick weapons, then go for it. Point being, if they weren't going to stay remotely close to the heart of the character, why didn't they call it "Jerry the L.A. Exorcist" and completely remove the Hellblazer connection? They took a character-driven franchise, watered-down the character and gave the role to a guy that can't act. It'll probably sell a lot of tickets, kind of like the next Vin Diesel opus.
