Good

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2005)

I have just come out of the movie theatre (9.2.2005). Constantine is a good movie in the sense that it is highly entertaining and it looks at religion (and beliefs) from a different perspective while keeping faithful to the doctrines of Christainity. The wars between God and Satan, Heaven and Hell, Good and Bad are all evident here. There is a juxtaposition between the supernatural and the natural. When I go to see a movie 'adapted' (even if loosely) from a comic book, I always watch it with an open mind and not make comparison with what has been in print. This also applied to the movie, Elecktra. In the same way, when I go to see a movie made from a bestseller or a classic, I do not make comparison either. Why? Because both are made to be enjoyed - in different ways, perhaps in different times and in different environment.
