Worth watching.

Rating: 8/10 (21 May 2006)

I have not read much of the Hellblazer series, but I have purchased the regular DVD version (which I think I'll let my nephew have who is high school age and has a quite mature outlook on life for his age) and I do like the movie immensely and thought the comic that comes with it was a wee bit on the extreme side, but then again, I prefer realism to a sanitized version of how our everyday bad habits can have an effect on us and others in this world. From what I have read of the comic, I prefer the movie to the comic and hope someday to be able play the game on a PS2 which I will most likely never have, but then again, isn't that what faith is for? I truly hope that the genius of Francis Lawrence can be utilized again to perhaps consider a trilogy that includes the other two archangels of Judeo/Christian/Islamic religious teaching and folklore, Raphael and Michael. All the actors and actresses in this movie were superb and I'm tired of hearing complaints about Keanu's acting. Any research for archangels would be in the Books of Tobit, Daniel, Revelation, and of course, the four Gospels. Good luck to Francis.
