Pretty Good

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2005)

If you were only going to see one movie this year...it wouldn't be "Constantine." But, if you're normal and can see more than one movie (who would resign themselves to that, anyways?), I'd recommend this one. Keanu Reeves's character, John Constantine, seemed heavily Neo influenced. Not that this is a particularly bad thing, it just seemed like Reeves has now been cursed to only be cast in Neo-esque roles. This aside, the rest of the cast was amazing. Both Rachel Weisz and Tilda Swinton gave extraordinary performances. As for the special effects, they were really amazing. I'm not sure what some people were thinking when they said they were horrible. The special effects artists did an extremely good job at knowing when enough was enough. While the movie did have it's flaws (which I can't say here, since it would reveal too much of the movie), it was still enjoyable.
