Product: Constantine [Blu-ray] (2012)
Rating: 4.0
What more can you say than: hoping for a sequel!
Constantine, the latest in a long line of films adapted from the comic book/graphic novel lines, is also one of the best. True, the story as it was orignally written deserves most of the credit. But, the acting in this film (even the much lamented Keanu Reeves) is believable and suited well for this movie. I do wish there had been more types of demons enountered (along with the various ways to vanquish them - similar to the opening scene), but one must review what is on the screen, not what isn't. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoyed this one - nothing was overdone (which is easy to do in this type of genre) - even the appearances of Gabriel, Balthazar, and Lucifer are convincingly presented, without being campy or cliched. I ended up buying this one to watch again... definately recommended.Just by way of background, and while other reviewers seems to prefer to reveal much of the story and plot, I think that sort of ruins the film in many cases. So, you'll want to look for other reviews and reviewers if that is what you are looking for...
