Constantine
I watched Constantine last night and I really really enjoyed it, everyone else I went with thought it sucked. But then this kind of film appeals to me. What did you guys think of it?

A friend of mine saw it the other night he liked it, but then he thinks Keanu Reeves can act - he's an idiot.
I'll wait for a decent version to be uploaded on a torrent site. |

I saw it the day it came out and thought it was an OK movie. The effects and everything were very great and the story was pretty good also. I didnt really mind Reeves playing the part of Constantine because unlike most people I actually like him.
It was just one of those movies that I didnt really love. Dont get me wrong or anything...I will buy it when it comes out but its not one of those movies that I will be sitting at home one day and go...OK what movie should I watch today and that comes up in mind first....it was one of those movies that is good but you just wont watch it all the time like you might another movie. |

It was a fun movie to watch, but it's not this deep fucking intellectual movie I've heard people make it out to be. Also, Keanu is horrible.. Absolutely horrible.. The guy from Bush was a better actor from him.. Jesus H.

I enjoyed it. It can't be disputed that the acting took a bit of a backseat to the special effects but nonetheless, Keanu did a pretty decent job of recreating John Constantine from how I always imagined him in the comics. The movie stayed pretty true to the feel of the comics, maintaining that old film-noir kind of feel for a fair bit of it, especially in the scenes in John's apartment.
Ironically enough, I think it was Keanu's terrible acting that made him awesome as Constantine. Who better to play a vapid, nihilistic, apathetic, suicidal, nonchalant reluctant hero than Keanu? He doesn't have to do anything. Just look sullen. Still, stabs at his acting aside, the movie was a pretty decent outing. Definitely not a deep intellectual movie by anyone's standards, but a fun romp through Hell and the occult. That came out weirdly, but you know what I mean. |

How the fuck does Keanu Reeves get cast in movies, unless it's playing a plank of wood (maddox
![]() Just think how much better Keanu Reeves movies would be without Keanu Reeves........ |

Good movie, but the ending dragged on forever and was excruciatingly lame (the whole Hell-to-Heaven-back-to-Earth scenario).
Not bad for Keanu though. |
