A mockery of a great comic book.

Rating: 2/10 (28 February 2005)

Bad adaptation to the great comic book called Hellblazer has probably the worst actor imaginable playing the title role. Keanu Reeves is with out a shadow of a doubt miscast in the title role and makes a fool out of himself and almost everyone in the movie. The script is an incoherent mess and the direction from first time director Frances Lawrence is lackluster to say the least. Of all the actors involved, Only Rachel Weisz and Djimon Hounsou are able to give their best to their underwritten characters. Weisz gives a strong and determine performance and Hounsou does more with a throwaway role than Keanu does as the lead. The rest of the actors involved are almost as bad as Reeves himself with Shia LaBeouf being as annoying as ever and Peter Stormare over doing it as the prince of darkness.
Say what you may about the Blade films but at least the first two Blade movies had a script that at least entertain you for a good solid two hours while this film will have you looking at your watch after the first 45 minutes. IF you like to see bad movies then be my guess, if not avoid.
