Good film translation from an enjoyable comic book series

Rating: 8/10 (30 July 2005)

Many people stated that the casting job was badly done on Constantine, especially concerning Keanu Reeves... I agreed before the film, because I had already some actors in my head to do the part... like Spike from Buffy. After seeing the film I can only say that the casting didn't affect the pleasure to see the film at all for me... I liked it a lot... just what I remembered from the occasionally comics I read. As someone who likes to read about the many religions there are in the world I'd like to comment that the good/evil-thing in Christianity was nice portrayed in this film (although I have to do some reading in the history book called the bible concerning angels). In all the movie is definitely worth watching... and I hope the sequel tells the tale of a comic book-story arc like Pryde & Wisdom where a succubus is having a baby and John promised to help (who knows what sort of baby is going to be delivered!}. Go see the film, whatever faith you have, and enjoy!
