dark, a little misguided, but does a great job

Rating: 10/10 (27 June 2006)

Even though John Constantine is English and blond, thats not what Constantine is all about. Keanu Reeves did a great job portraying the character, emotions and feelings of Constantine from the comic book. Constantine's dark, don't give a crap humor was portrayed well, but the movie could have had a little more of that.
I was very glad that director Francis Lawrence didn't make Constantine a CGIfest movie, but used it just enough to enhance the story and feelings of the movie. Last but not least a superb soundtrack by Graeme Revel.
And I would like to request moviegoers, viewers and reviewers to stop comparing every single Keanu Reeves movie to The Matrix. Lets get over The Matrix and judge the movies by themselves. Shall we?
