Constantine

[Requiem]

Went to see it yesterday with a bunch of friends.. personally, I thought it was great. Keanu Reeves was surprisingly good in it. Though, CNN was just ripping the hell out of the movie and him... probably gonna be one of the more contraversial movies of the year, since it had the devil in it, and was based around religion sorta...

[MVP]

I saw it today and thought it was decent. I was really confused in the beginning with the whole twin suicide angle, but everything came together throughout the story.

About the controversy: it's not cause the movie dealt with Satan. God knows there are enough movies like that, no pun intended. It's because of the fact that part of the movie's plot is about God and Satan competing for souls, and the idea of the son of Satan trying to break into the real world, written in "Hell's Bible".

It's a decent big budget B movie. Not groundbreaking or spectacular but mindless fun.

Keanu Reeves couldn't act his way out of a paper bag.

Well yes much like The Matrix a block of wood could play Constantine the way Reeves did.

[Shaggy]

Its one of those movies that isnt gonna be on anyones favorites list...but they will probably watch it a few times when its out on vid.

I saw it friday and I thought it was ok. Neo was pretty good but then again as that character I guess he didnt really need to show a wide range of anything. I love how some of the humour was pretty good and I heard the other day that Reeves is prepared for another one. He says that if this one does good then he will love to do another one. He said that just like The Matrix he is hooked with the John Constantine character.

Yeah I liked it more than I thought I would, but it's nothing special, just decent. Worth seeing, maybe not in the theater though.

I enjoyed the whole battle between Heaven and Hell theme though. Pretty cool.

I just got back from it, no idea WTF just happened. Confusing as hell, maybe because I'm completely unfamiliar with Catholic Dogma or whatever, but damn

[Jason Cage]

Yeah this movie rocked.

[Hired Hitman]

It looks pretty much like Diablo II while playing as a Paladin :shifty:


... I need to read the storyline :o

Yeah, it went off of catholicism (spelling?), where if you commit suicide, your soul goes to hell. That had a lot to do with what was going on.

[Buzzkill]

I understood that part

[Mister Sinister]

I throught it was above average for Action flicks, but could of been better..

Sadly, the main thing was the movie, wasn't good v. Evil...It was Anti-Smoking

yea pretty much.....we learn that no matter if you fight demons or not you will still die from lung cancer.

That sounds like a upcoming plot for a superman movie.

[Fignuts]

Reeves was a lot better than I thought he'd be. I can see how some people could get confused with the plot, but overall I think it was pretty good. Oh, and fuck CNN.

[Funky Fly]

Just saw it. Fucking Awesome for what it was. If go in there looking for the fucking movie of the year or the movie that gets 4569807680979806 Oscars, you are wasting your time. But if you just want 2 hours of action movie, here you go.

And fuck you all about the smoking and demons and whatnot. If you were paying attention, the smoking had fuck all to do with him dying and hacking up blood. The dying young had to do with him not completing his divine quest. The anit-smoking thing was definitely in there though. Fucking Rob Reiner and Truth. And I don't even smoke.

[Fox]

Meh. I really thought there'd be more action, but the girls I saw it with thought it was a scary movie when we left, and I have to agree a bit. Lots of moments with close ups of dead bodies where you have the feeling they're going to pop open/alive. I was really hoping for a mad scene where Keanu is fighting off hordes of demons with that dragon's breath flamethrower.

Most of the movie was good, but the ending was totally weak.

You sacrificed yourself - you're going to heaven! Oh wait, the Devil says you're going to stay alive, so you will! Even though you're trying to thwart the devil's taking over of bodies, I want to keep you on Earth... for some reason. Whatever.


I busted up laughing when the fire alarm sprinklers went off and that one bitch goes "Holy water!" Ranked right up there with "I'm melting! I'm melting! Oh what a world!"

Not to mention that Even Stevens kid's dying words: "It's not like in the books." Shut the fuck up and die.

[KleptoKlown]

the holy brass knuckles...


comon, cheesy cheesy movie.

[Funky Fly]

The Devil keeping him alive actually makes sense.

"You're the one soul I'd come up here to collect myself"

Obviously, Constantine's been fucking his shit up so much that when he dies, the devil really really wants him in hell so he can get revenge through eternal torture. He kept him alive by removing the sickness in his lungs. No sickness, no death, no heaven. Since Constantine made the ultimate sacrifice, his soul is officially heaven bound now, so the devil wants to keep him alive so that Constantine has a chance to fuck up and go to hell again. Make sense?

[RP]

No Air Guitar. No time traveling telephone booth. No way i'm seeing it.

[samichna]

LOL yup holy brass knuckles
