Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 5.0
Can I give it 6 Stars?
I have to say that I am not familiar with any Constantine comics, games or had had any other contact with the character apart from this movie so I cannot compare the character to other sources, nor can I take part in discussing the technicalities and the specifics like other reviewers have. Therefore, coming from someone that did not "know" Constantine prior to the film I have to say that the movie was FANTASTIC!Constantine, brings to the screen the story of an exorcist who gets himself embroiled in the schemes of two unlikely allies who want to bring forth the Apocalypse for their own sinister reasons.There are slight hints of Van Helsing and the X-Files, and strong/obvious elements of the Ninth Gate (starring Johnny Depp) and the Prophecy trilogy (starring Christopher Walkin), so the movie falls into the action/adventure/mystery/thriller/horror type of category.Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are extraordinary to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)!The scenes in Hell are outstanding and the angels are as they are supposed to, making this movie one of the best of its kind. The plot, the setting, the dialogues, and the special effects, are all WONDERFUL!Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!Constantine is a movie guaranteed to provide more than just an evening's entertainment; it is one of those films that gets you and keeps you thinking long after it's over.In short, I would definitely line up to watch a sequel!
