Rating: 4.0
Sweetness in HD
You know, when I first saw this movie I was kind of like, "Ahh, it was okay." Since then it's grown on me. I'm not gonna tell you it's the best movie I've ever seen now but it's pretty cool when it's not too talky. I grew to like the characters introduced and I'm thinking that I'd like to see a sequel. I don't hate Keanu Reeves like so many others so I'd actually like to see him reprise the role again.That being said, Constantine now has the distinction of being the first HD-DVD I've purchased and I'm just here to say that this is a sweet little disc. The picture is extraordinary to say the least. It looks so good that it makes the scenes with shoddy special effects look.... well, shoddy.The sound is immaculate and the fact that you can access a wealth of special features as the film is playing just makes this whole new format awesome. Fans of the film will really appreciate this and I think even the casual fan would be impressed by this disc. I love the fact that you can go over the menus while the film is playing plus the fact that you can save your favorite scenes.So, while there aren't too many titles to choose from on HD-DVD as of yet, this one is worth the purchase. I think it makes a nice demo disc for your home theater and besides, I can think of far worse titles you can start off your HD-DVD collection with. Recommended!
