CONSTANTINE That film was amazing; visually stunning and (in my mind) quite thought provoking  yes the similarities between this movie and Reeves previous Matrix project cannot be escaped, but that said this movie I don't think is simply riding on the coat tails of the success of the Matrix trilogy and deserves to be regarded in its own right.
For those that don't know, Reeves' character John Constantine is a man who sees demons and performs exorcisms the theology in the movie is at times suspect but I would say takes ideas presented in the Bible but stretches them somewhat  but then, I tire at those who go to see a movie of this nature and expect it to be anything more than entertainment.
I think what I most loved about the movie was the filmography of it, he use of interesting shooting angles and of colour filters. Also it was fairly stylistic in its costuming with the use of black and white very clever. My favourite character though HAS to be the Angel Gabriel amazing, utterly amazing!
