Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 5.0
one of my favorites
I've read the comics and seen the movie many times. i don't care about their similarities nor their differences. all i care is that they were both entertaining enough to keep me coming for more. I loved the majority of this movie and even with gigantic plot holes i still found this movie to be a wonderful use of cinimatics.in the theatre, this movie got hammered by the critics and aparently tons of people didn't like it either. I couldn't figure out why until i thought about the fact that i'm not religious and many people had problems with the overly-Catholic tone. Oh well, it has a Catholic background, it's still fun to watch.Constantine's witty dry sense of sarcasm drew me in from the beginning because i just love that in characters and the only sarcastic character i think i like better is House, from the TV show.i know this movie isn't for everyone, but if you have an open mind to all things magic, you will probably like this, unless the Catholic background throws you off. This movie only follows Catholic mythology so far, then takes it's own twists (I.E. Half-breeds). Personally, i thought it was great that someone could use the angel/devil mythology in a different way. A little originality goes a long way.The hell scenes were quite possibly the best part (visually) to me in this movie. Those scenes just added a little extra flavor to a movie i would have liked anyway, but sent it to the top. I hope Keanu Reeves recieves more roles that would suit him well like this one.
