It worth watching

Rating: 7/10 (23 February 2005)

I think this movie is not too bad.
In fact, it is an anti-smoking movie.Once Constantine appears,a cigarette will be smoked.As he said:"I used to smoke 30 cigarettes per day when I was 15 years old].So,in this movie, there is a lot of scenes that reflect the harm of smoking.For example,Constantine usually vomits blood and cough.After he had tested his gun,a poster appeared.It written:"Smoking is harmful,never try it!".In the last scene,He ate chewing gum instead of smoking.If this is the theme of Constantine,it is really success and effective.
How about the characters?Keanu Reeves is the perfect actor for John Constantine.In my opinion,He should be a depressed,elusive,sober and powerful hero.Keanu Reeves did it.His wonderful,humorous performances make Constantine to become a marvelous character who impressed audience the most.However,I don't like how he treated his friends.It leads to an anti-logy with his nature.Well,he wants to escape the world,he thinks nobody understands him,but why didn't he treat his friends better?Why did his friends help him but not leave him?I don't think I could do that if I was Constantine's friend.
Rachel Weisz is suitable for this character--Angela Dodson.However,Her character show disadvantage of this movie:It just focuses on one character--Constantine.There are few good scenes for her to perform,too sad.So,some people said that COnstantine is really failed.IF the director saw this problem,it might be better.
How about the theology using in Constantine?I think it is the most attraction for me to see Constantine.Hell with fire,Heaven with clouds and world with lamps.Demons and angels are colorful.A few scenes sacred me a lot.The sounds bumped out suddenly and made you horrible.All in all,it is OK but still need to be improved.
The story itself is not bad,but I think it is too short.Some parts I still cannot understand after it finished.I have heard that the movie comes from a comic book Hellblazer and written by Kevin Brodbin.So it might be cut before.The climax is too long and seems no more interest.The other parts could not set off the climax.
However,I love it because of the humor in Constantine.
P.S: Sorry for my poor English and hope all you wouldn't mind~
