I'm John. John Constantine, A**hole
Well I hear where alot of you are coming from on not being true to the comic, I hated this latest Punisher, my favorite comic series of all time. I only recently was lent a few issues of Constantine by a co-worker shortly before seeing the movie, and yeah the problem with the movie is, is that Constantine is British and well... Not Keanu Reeves, but all that aside I enjoyed this film. I enjoyed the greatly Catholic feel, the view of Heaven and Hell, its right here, all around us just on a different plane. Constantine is a reluctant soldier against evil, Heaven won't take him and Hell wants him. You see Constantine sends all of Hell's demons, or at least the ones that break the rules back to Hell, and he committed one of the heinous sins that gets one sent straight to H, E double hockey sticks. Since he won't repent or make an attempt at a just life Heaven don't want'im. Throw in some demons, Gavin Rosdale as a fallen angel, the anti-christ for good measure and the Spear Of Destiny to spice it up, and you've got your self an epic battle of Good VS. Evil.Gabreille was wonderful, capturing the ambiguous gender of an angel. The Devil had that whole less is more approach to being a saditious Prince of Darkness. And Constantine is an A'hole. Constantine, whether he likes it or not is a champion for Good, and he just better get used to it.On a side note it was particularly touching since I too am trying to quit smoking.
