one word only: unsatisfying

Rating: 5/10 (3 March 2005)

After watching "The Devil's Advocate", starring Reeves and Al Pacino, Constantine's trailer somehow reminded me that masterpiece, as for atmospheres and special effects. Well, I must say that my expectations have been dashed; I knew the flick was based on the comic-book "Hellblazer", but hoped it was more movie and more able to capture my imagination, whereas it kept too much its original nature. Action sequences and rhythm are not bad at all but on the whole the movie fails to capture the moviegoers emotions, as far as I can see. The only positive note is the storyline complexity that mixes science-fiction, fantasy, supernatural, demons and murder investigation, i.e. everything...
