Ignore the negative comments!

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2007)

This is an awesome film. Its not the best film ever made but its far, far from as bad as people are trying to make out.
If you watch expecting to see the typical brainless fare you find in most horror films, you will be disappointed. If you expect to be able to follow the story whilst loudly crunching your popcorn, you will be disappointed. If you are a fan of the comic and you want to see your hero recreated on screen, well...you will be disappointed.
But if you watch it purely as a piece of entertainment, you will enjoy it. The acting is fab, all the roles are well cast (although I don't understand people raving about Rachel - she was OK but not spectacular and barely convincing for me), the special effects are great, the costumes look fab and the music is excellent.
Its an interesting story, expertly brought to life. The calibre of the actors cast in this movie alone would be enough to stop it being boring to watch, but as I said, they almost all turn in stellar performances. Gavin seemed out of his depth but he was surrounded by an awful lot of talent.
I am a Keanu fan (but much, much more after seeing this film). I LOVED him in this role and have worked my way back through many of his old films and just don't get how people can say he is a bad actor. He IS Constantine - as far as this movie goes anyway. Totally convincing.
I don't know what more you guys want LOL - this was a very entertaining film!
