It was a good movie. Period.

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2005)

I gave this movie a 10/10 because 1) Script is excellent 2)SFX was well placed and fits the feel of the movie 3)The acting was good as I believed in all of the characters.
I saw all of the reviews before actually seeing the movie. I wasn't planning on seeing this movie because of the low scores, however given the competition (Son of Mask,Cursed,Boogeyman), I decided to go for it. A GOOD THING THAT I DID. I had a wonderful time watching and thinking in this movie. This is not the type of movie that tells you everything up front, so you had to wait and anticipate the next scene. All of the scenes are wonderfully crafted and serves a purpose in the film. Its worth watching a second time as you really need to pay attention to its details.
I'd compare this with Matrix, not because of the similar fighting scenes or because of Keanu Reeves, but because it is a movie that keeps you in the dark most of the times, and present a world and an idea that you never seen before. Not your Arnold action flick....
Constantine does not deserve such low scores. Its a good movie and I am afraid people are going to miss it because of the bad reviews.
