Note that Most Negative Feedback is from Fans of the Comic
Let's start by saying that I am a huge fan of comicbooks. HUGE!At age 40, I can say that I've been collecting them in one form or another since I was about 8-years old. 'Constantine' is based on a comic, albeit with a more mature them, and one that I have to say I've never read before. I think that's a good thing because I don't care to read about it. Besides, 'not' reading the book allowed me the oppotunity to see the movie for what it was. What 'Constantine' for me was a fun, sometimes creepy, sometimes campy film that I had a good time seeing. Yes, one could argue Keanu Reeves' acting prowess (or lack thereof), but the fact is it wasn't as bad as people say. The only real complaint I have is the role given to that 'Disney' kid- Shia Lebouf (sp) or whatever his name is. If I see him play the bumbling sidekick in one more movie I think I'll do myself in. Other than that, check your logic (and acting expectations, and religion) at the door and do try to have fun.
