i am let down...

Rating: 4/10 (1 January 2008)

I looked forward to "Constantine" for ages and it was a massive let down. After the build up to this i fort no every director deserves another chance he cant have mucked this up as well. The trailer was suspenseful will smith is a good actor and I thought okay fine i can look forward to this as well because its clearly gonna be a good film. HOW WRONG I WAS. The start of the film is good, the emotion elements are also well played out by Smith but the film goes stir crazy towards the end and despite the big budget the cgi is the worst I've seen in a very very long time. The director seems dependent on the scary nature of his villains in this flick which could have worked great, if he had remembered to make the bad guys seem remotely REAL. This is on par with the likes of resident evil 3 which is a real shame for a film that has such clear potential to be better than it is. Watch 28 days or weeks later or 30 days of night instead, much lower budgets much better films.
