Constantine: The Best Graphic Novel Movie
Constantine will not be understood by many people because the subtlties in the movie are what really explain it. The way the half-breeds eyes glow with a little tiny circle in their pupils, the way that the movie throws in pieces of dialogue or charcters that seem like throwaways (like Gabriel) come back when you least expect it.It's these defining traits that make Constantine a movie worth viewing in the context of a great action-horror ride, or in the context of trying to think about the way that the movie doesn't explain itself through words (although they do sometimes have to explain things), but through the action of the characters.Like Constantine quits smoking by, after he builds the holy shotgun, shooting the pack of cigarettes. You hear him say, "Oh, I decided to quit."Constantine should be seen by all. (Only if you fans of the graphic novels give it a chance, judge it as a movie! Not as something based on something, as a movie!)
