Slow and disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (20 February 2005)

This movie is better than Van Helsing, but it is nowhere near as good as the Hellboy. Story moves incredibly slow and the supernatural events and creatures look like many things we have seen millions of times before (with perhaps the exception of Hell, but even it looks bad after several moments), yet CGI is used everywhere, even places where it is really unnecessary. What really destroys the movie here is the love story which, to me at least, seems very forced and no chemistry is ever felt between the actors.
After seeing Hellboy I couldn't wait to read the comics. Constantine surely did not inspire me to do the same.
