I am gonna check this flick out this weekend! How about you?
http://constantinemovie.warnerbros.com/
John Constantine has been to hell and back.
Born with a gift he didn’t want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine (KEANU REEVES) was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil’s foot soldiers back to the depths.
But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he’s a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroism. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn’t want your admiration or your thanks – and certainly not your sympathy.
All he wants is a reprieve.
When a desperate but skeptical police detective (RACHEL WEISZ as Angela Dodson) enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her beloved twin sister (also played by Weisz), their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.
Warner Bros. Pictures presents in association with Village Roadshow Pictures, a Donners’ Company / Batfilm Productions / Weed Road Pictures / 3 Arts Entertainment Production: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz star in Constantine, also starring Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Pruitt Taylor Vince, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale and Peter Stormare. Directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Kevin Brodbin and Frank Cappello, story by Kevin Brodbin, Constantine is based on characters from the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer Graphic Novels and is produced by Lauren Shuler Donner, Benjamin Melniker, Michael Uslan, Erwin Stoff, Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Akiva Goldsman. Executive producers are Gilbert Adler and Michael Aguilar. Philippe Rousselot, A.F.C./A.S.C., is the director of photography; Naomi Shohan, the production designer; and Wayne Wahrman, A.C.E., the editor. Music is by Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt.

The only comic book movie I've missed is Catwoman. Constantine is a great character in Vertigo comics (does a lot of cameos in other Vertigo comics like Neil Gammon's Sandman).
Keanu can't act to save his life ... but the Matrix showed that he has a niche ... wooden depressed outcast ... so it might not be that bad as long as they focus on the demon hunting and he has a strong supporting cast.
I'm sure at the worst it will be Blade with demons... worthy of popcorn status.

It was entertaining, yet It did not blow me away! It does have more than a few parallels with the Matrix!

I loved when he was ascending into heaven and flicking off Lucifer.

Its a difficult thing to do well...the God/Devil movie
The last good ones were End of Days, and especially....Devils Advocate.
They took a bit from others (who doesn't) Bladeish, Matrixish, even Terminator...(hell looks like the bomb drop)
Not having seen the comic, I was still surprised by the movie, pleasantly....wont buy the DVD, but Id watch it again |
