Good for what it was

Rating: 7/10 (4 March 2005)

Keanu Reeves gets a lot of slack from reviewers and also from the public about the rolls he takes. They say that he is always playing the character who "knows nothing, and only finds information out as the movie progresses", but in this movie he is the character who contains most of the knowledge, and leads the way throughout the movie. He is going to get a lot of shots taken at him for this movie, but i thought he did a great job as Constantine, and was also the perfect person for the role. As the movie was based off of a comic i don't see what else people could expect. Critics seem upset for some reason, but Keanu played a great "super hero" (for lack of a better term for main characters in comics), and the screenplay couldn't have gotten any better... Its not going to win an Oscar, but for those of you who like science fiction, enjoy fantasy, and have an open mind i think this movie will fit.
