Constantine

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2005)

I had no idea that this was based on a comic until I actually started watching the DVD.
Loved the effects. Scene where the Mexican guy finds the Spear of Destiny, changes (becomes possessed) and gets hit by the car - Priceless. Scene with the possessed girl...thought was good. Scene where Constantine goes to hell to see if Angela's twin was there...he finds her and catches the hospital band - Priceless. Loved the make up of the demons - thought that was very original. Scene were Constantine leaves the gas station and is confronted by a demon (..of bugs) - Priceless. Scene where the guy (forgot his name - he was a priest) goes to the morgue and finds Isabel's body, freaks out and tries to quench his need for liquid but can't...priceless. I then said to myself, 'break the bottle' ...no luck... priceless. Scene where the the priest dies in the store...one of the half breed's watches his death - the store clerk who was bent down over him...the wings... Loved the wings
I am the biggest horror fan of demons, vampires, etc. and the biggest critic of anything that's supposed to be scary, I was definitely entertained to the fullest. I watched it twice already.
All in all, I thought it was a good take on heaven and hell and all the actors did a great job.
