Go watch it!
I have been kicking and screaming about this adaptation of Hellblazer. I read and liked the the comic books for quite a while- a couple years- and Keanu as John and Calif instead of England seemed like abominations.I got over that in about 5 minutes. If you can take the movie on its own merits, it's great. Although Keanu's character isn't John (I wish they'd just named him something else) the universe he plays in is faithful to the comic book's universe, as best I remember it.I didn't have any problem with the acting. I loved Tilda Swinton's Gabriel. I loved Lucifer. Rachel Weisz's characters left me indifferent but not so much that I thought about it during the movie. There wasn't really anyone I didn't enjoy.If you enjoy watching the chaos and ambiguity of light vs. dark, go watch this movie!
