I would see it again...

Rating: 7/10 (21 February 2005)

For a movie that so many file in the "comic book" movie genre, Constantine exceeded my expectations and is an excellent piece of entertainment, in spite of being amidst the "dumpers" that usually are put out in the month of February.
The graphics, camera work, and animation were excellent, but didn't ultimately become the entertainment value of the movie, which I consider an excellent feat for movies of this genre. The plot made me want to know more, and the acting was good. The writing wasn't excellent, per se, but didn't have me leaving the movie thinking, "Why do people pay millions of dollars to writers when I could write a better script?" like many other comic book movies have had me screaming. Still, having not read the comic books, I should also say that I cannot comment on the movie's ability to maintain consistency with the author's work.
Overall, you can take as much away from this movie as you want. If you're looking for entertainment, this movie has it in spades. If you're looking for an interesting story, with implications on the greater picture, you can definitely take that away from this movie, too. Personally, I thought it was great  despite what many other critics have written, and I would go and see it again.
Oh! And definitely stay past the credits!
