Constantine was a surprise

Rating: Null/10 (25 February 2005)

I had heard about this movie, but really was waiting to see it on DVD. I went with a friend last night and was really surprised to see that it had a decent story and the effects were pretty cool. Not too overwhelming, but just enough to make its point. I thought Balthazar was HOT!. I read some of the comments and it still amuses me to this day how most people in this society are so needy to have a stereotypical image of what Gabriel, or God or devils or demons look like. It's so lame that it's hilarious. Yes, Lucifer was supposed to be a BEAUTY, but the producer thought Peter Storare (sp) was the best to depict Satan. The beauty behind this is that if I am putting up millions of dollars to make a movie, I will make the characters look how I want them to look, not just because mullein of church teachings, say that the Devil has a red face and horns. Give me a break people. This is the 21st century. This movie is worth watching twice, because I really trying to keep up for a while in the movie, understanding what was happening. It seems that it has a little of the Dogma movie rolled into it, the way Gabriel is punished for his/her transgression.
My point is this, enjoy movies because of their creativity, its insight and its originality. If you go to a movie, expecting something to appear that way you have formed in your little minds, you should save 10 bucks and stay home. That is why I love movies, the enjoy the brilliance of those that create them. If we were all such experts on the damn things, we would be making them ourselves.
Constantine is a good movie. Go see it, if you don't like it.. you have no originality, imagination or fantasy.
