Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 4.0
This could have been a contender . . .
NOTE: This review refers to the deluxe two-disc edition of the movie. For some reason, Amazon just lumps them in with the regular edition.I enjoyed this movie and I'm glad I shelled out for the deluxe edition, if only because of the Hellblazer comic that's included with the package. I was hoping the extras would add more in the way of explanations for some of what happens in the film, but they don't. This is why the entire package loses one star. Particularly aggravating is the commentary from Akiva Goldsman and the director. Goldsman's voice is like listening to nails on a chalkboard. I eventually had to turn off the commentary because I couldn't take the noise anymore. The extras on the second disc are diverting, and it's nice to learn more about the comic, but it also settles for being superficial instead of tackling some of the deeper issues that underlie this deliciously creepy story.
