snooze fest

Rating: 3/10 (20 February 2005)

talk about shattered expectations. After seeing some other reviews and watching a pretty promising trailer Constantine had my interest and i went to see the film last night with my girlfriend and three other friends. One of those friends didn't manage to stay awake throughout the movie's entirety and all the rest, including me, were sorely disappointed. In a nutshell, i felt the story line was very poor, the character development was also lousy, the CGI effects(especially the Hell scenes) were well done, but weren't even close to saving this bummer. I would be hard pressed to recommend this movie as a video store rental and would advise others that spending the $9 or so theatre admission price could be much better spent elsewhere.
