Hell on earth...appallingly bad script, bad acting, bad everything...

Rating: 3/10 (27 October 2008)

CONSTANTINE is one of those Prince of Darkness tales that defies description. It's so bad, I kept watching to see if it could get any worse. It did.
Nowhere is there any coherence in the shell of a plot. The dialog uttered by KEANU REEVES and RACHEL WEISZ is unbelievably bad. As the Angel Gabriel, TILDA SWINTON is just plain annoying as well as absurd. SHIA LA BEOUF does his standard sidekick routine to little effect.
The demons evoked by special effects are the only halfway decent aspects of the whole movie, particularly the one that tries to break out of a mirror image by shattering the glass. But aside from a few gripping moments with demons menacing the principals, the whole story carries about as much weight as a jar full of feathers.
Pretentious junk aimed at the audience that thrives on comic book delights--but insulting to anyone's intelligence with a script that defies description.
Summing up: The hell with it.
