A lot of fun, but don't take seriously
Constantine is great fun, very light - don't take it seriously or you'll regret it. I love the main characters - Gabriel, Constantine, the Fixer with the fetish for bugs. The lead woman was a bit flat, and constantine wasn't as colourful as in the comic... partly due to Keanu's limited acting range (ie "woah!") but also because he was adapted for US audiences.There are even serious plot issues... why exactly is the fabulous christian artefact... owned by the Nazis... to be found in Mexico?But even despite its deficiencies, it's still a lot of fun - packed with great action, powerful scenes and a wonderful moody feel. Even the cheesy shots seem to work - eg Satan gloating over Constantine's imminent death, then receiving a finger for his trouble. and what a fantastic choice of casting that was ;)Watch it, but don't think too deeply about it - it's for fun, not study.
