I think I'm going to kill myself....

Rating: 5/10 (14 August 2005)

This movie is the equivalent of taking a really good train ride when all of a sudden it turns around and heads straight to crap-ville.
for a while I thought this movie was good, then it started to get cheesy and around the time where Constantine flipped the devil off as he was floating to heaven, I started to wish someone would shoot me in the head. Apart from the fact that it is completely sacrilegious, and twists holy figures into evil wielding monsters, It takes every cheesy, lame direction you could take with this movie and goes there, at 100 miles per hour.
I was truly disappointed. Half way through I said to myself "this is a good flick" Then it started going downhill. cheesy one liners, predictability, and then awful chewing of gum instead of smoking at the end. COME ON. who directed this? No director with any sense of pride in his craft could look at the scene where Constantine flips off the devil and say "yes, this is a good thing to do" "it is not at all lame as hell"
My mind just can't wrap around it. When this metaphorical building starting crumbling it fell down hard, and everywhere. Every character lost its initial charm and became one with the big pile of cheese this movie morphed into. The girl who played Angela was a good actress at least, and the director somewhat kept her integrity as a character, The rest of them were fed to the lame movie wolves.
I'm sorry if you liked this film, I truly am, I don't want to be Capt.Negative over here. But honestly, even if you liked it, you have to admit, it got pretty corny at the end. It just frustrates me because it was going so well, if it was kept up until the end, this would be one of my favorites. Its just a waste of an awesome plot.
Somebody doesn't have your back anymore? First of all, In this movie the devil never should have been shown. He is too evil, and is better left to the imagination. Now even if you try to attempt this, why in the name of all that is good would you have some balding middle aged man in a white suit play the devil? If it was this sort of movie all along OK, but it wasn't, it was great, and then this? And then to say that god "had Gabriel's back" ARE YOU KIDDING ME? if you understand true integrity when it comes to film you will understand why this was a rape and pillage of a good thing.
Again I'm sorry to the fans. Still I recommend it, just don't get your hopes up and prepare to be let down hard after a big build up.
