review

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2005)

To many of the left wing, liberal media and population, this movie may represent everything wrong with religion, Catholicism, and the right-wing Republican ideals in America today. However, I believe that this movie with all its theological references and great special effects was very entertaining. John Constantine (Reeves) has a great, dark sense of humor that makes you laugh at times, but the moment is gone in a second for the audience knows that this movie is far from a comedy. Filled with dark, depressed images and references, this movie hits deep within each person in the audience. No matter what race or religion, every person has experienced and/or heard of the history and past of the Catholic religion. This movie takes the mysticism of religion and the legends of the bible and turn them into reality.
If you want to know more, go and see for yourself. And another thing, stay for the credits, for a major scene immediately follows them.
