Keanu & Rachel's Excellent Adventure

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2014)

First things first, this bears little to no resemblance to the comics but let's put that aside and judge it on its own merits. All things considered, it's not a bad movie of its type. It's entertaining enough, despite feeling like a mash-up of familiar exorcist and superhero action movie tropes. Some of the CGI isn't up to snuff and there aren't really any memorable scenes. Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz are fine, though this is more up his alley than hers. She's better than this type of movie. Shia LaBeouf is amusing in a part that's not really needed. Tilda Swinton steals every scene she's in. Djimon Hounsou is also good. Fans of the Hellblazer comics are most likely to be disappointed, and that's understandable, but the movie really is not bad for what it is.
