Good movie based on the Comics.

Rating: Null/10 (24 March 2005)

This movie was based off the original comic books in which the character John Constantine fights demons, but is never on the side of "good". To him there is a very small distinction between good and evil. He is a wizard, con man, demon slayer, and basically gives the finger to both Satan and God. He has some powers, but is really nothing more than human.
I enjoyed the movie going into it understanding this simple concept. A lot of people disliked Keanu Reeves' performance in this movie, but that is pretty much how John Constantine really is. A person who doesn't care, is an asshole, and is really only looking out for himself. Don't expect John Constantine to become emotional, have compassion, or even show fear. Now the problem with a character like that is he doesn't give that emotional kick that people are often looking for from movies. Even Van Hellsing, as bad as it was(I liked it, since I knew it was nothing more than special effects + Sci-fi), still attempted to make you really want the good guy to win.
Now if special effects, sci-fi, and a person like John Constantine doesn't interest you very much I'd stay clear of this movie.
