The best movie ever for me. People who don't like it, are some kind of anti-religious fanatic. Just read their comments and you'll see.
It's from the graphic nover masterpiece of Vertigo: Hellblazer by Alan Moore you ignorants.

I really don't get all the negative reviews and critics bashing it. Reeves does a great job as always. He nails the cynic part of John Constantine described in the comics. The story kept me engaged and the way the demons, and angels are accurate to what i imagine. the manor isms in which they possess and attack portray a thrilling and creepy feeling. Even the music score helps keep the feelings of the movie going. Interesting spiritual and religious perspectives are portrayed as well. Whether you agree with them or not they can be interesting. I see complaints about plot holes but no where on the internet can i find any said plot holes...Nor did I notice anything in the movie. unlike other movies where you can outright find problems in the story or research storyline failures everywhere. I think people/critics were just looking for reasons to bash this movie for reasons they are too embarrassed to admit. Whether that be they are offended religiously or are still hating on Neo from The Matrix. Grow up people. Have an open mind. And enjoy a unique and enjoyable movie.… Expand

Though Constantine feels like at least four different movies rolled into one, it is visually stunning and easily one of the best DC movies ever released.

Definitely a great movie. Keanu Reeves portrays a great character, doesn't matter if that is not exactly the same as the comics version. This deserves sequels with Keanu.

Based on a comic book, the kind we only heard about after seeing the film, it brings us the story of John Constantine, an unusual hero who lives with one foot in our world and the other foot in Hell.

The script weaves a simple story: theBased on a comic book, the kind we only heard about after seeing the film, it brings us the story of John Constantine, an unusual hero who lives with one foot in our world and the other foot in Hell.

The script weaves a simple story: the fight between Good and Evil is turned into a kind of bet between God and the Devil, in which the souls of Humanity are played and in which they maintain a kind of "balance" in that neither is really beating the other. John Constantine, a man who attempted suicide and survived, unintentionally becomes one of the "referees" of that balance, going able to send back to Hell all the demons who came to our world in order to cause trouble. However, and precisely because he tried to kill himself, it is Hell that awaits Constantine when he dies, an idea that terrifies him and that he describes as "going to a prison where you sent most of the prisoners before". Thus, when he discovers that the Devil's son is trying to use a medium girl to reach our world and provoke the Armageddon, he realizes that if he is able to prevent it, he can acquire divine forgiveness and the desired passport to Paradise.

Personally, I like movies with themes like this. They're appealing, although the film quite subverts the religious and spiritual themes it addresses. Without really being a horror movie, it works well as a techno-thriller with a dark background and urban Gothic atmosphere, which is occasionally dotted with intense and disturbing scenes. Unfortunately, I felt that the film fell apart in the last third part and the ending turns out to be disappointing and much weaker than the rest. The film, in some specific moments, seems to make small nods to other cinema works such as "Exorcist", which we can see as homage or, on the other hand, as influences that it received. Perhaps the truth is more or less halfway between one thing and another.

After "Matrix" and "Devils Advocate", Keanu Reeves' choice for the protagonist seems quite natural. To some extent, he picked up and mixed elements and mannerisms that he used when he brought Neo and Kevin Lomax to life in the films I mentioned. But that was not a bad idea: Reeves shone in these works and manages to dominate this film very well and to live up to what is proposed by his character. Reeves gave Constantine a sullen, melancholy, pessimistic and misanthropic personality, which gradually humanizes as he helps and cares about Angela, a character effectively executed by Rachel Weisz, in one of the most interesting works of this actress, who became famous for her appearance in "The Mummy" trilogy and for her work in "Constant Gardener". Alongside these actors, we also have the good performances of Djimon Hounsou and Peter Stormare. Who really shouldn't keep good memories of the film is Shia LaBeouf, extremely boring and uninteresting, and Tilda Swinton, who transformed an archangel full of celestial authority into a kind of androgynous and morally twisted creature, unpleasant from all points of view.

Technically, the film bets heavily on CGI and visual effects, with very good results considering the time it was made and the available budget. The look of the demons in this film is something impressive, repulsive and grotesque, as also the way Hell is portrayed, in an eternal storm of fire and pain. Also notable for its realism and majesty is the brief glimpse of Paradise. Struggle or exorcism scenes have been thought out in detail and the effects collaborate widely. Cinematography is good and puts us in a nocturnal, dark and decadent neo-noir universe, where darkness combines well with a scenario full of cheap furniture, kitsch decoration and neon signs, and with urban sound effects like screams, ambulance sirens, car sounds. The soundtrack, signed by Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt, is deep and excellent.… Expand

And the dialog soundtrack, This movie could have been much better. Just cutting out the whole section about the little guy that lived in the bowling alley would greatly reduce the 'supernatural gobbledegook' one critic mentioned. And the dialog soundtrack, as noted by a user critic, is often unintelligible. There's an internal conflict between the tone of the movie (so heavy and serious and dark) and some of the imagery used--like Constantine firing gold bullets at demons from a gold shotgun welded to a gold crucifix. In these scenes I felt I was watching an episode of Angel that was taking itself too seriously. Cutting out some of this stereotypical demon stuff would work fine, since as many critics note, and I agree, the plot is incomprehensible and therefore meaningless, and the high points of the film are the the photography and gothic atmosphere. I thought the four main actors were good: the exorcist (Keanu), the cop (Rachel), Gabriel and Lucifer. In the end, I gave it a 6 because I couldn't give it a 5.5; I'm generally a sucker for this type of movie, so the critics 5 is probably more accurate. Its a shame that in this genre there are so few good movies. I mean, what theme could be more important?… Expand

Unlike the Matrix, however, this movie doesn't draw you into its world; it just gives you what there is. It's completely shallow, and not worth anyone's time. I should also point out that a wise-assed attitude on Constantine's part wasn't about to save the movie. Neither were the actors and actresses, who are good in other films, but in this one, they seemed to not care. There were no saving factors here. In fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have minded if the Devil had won in this one.… Expand

Whatsmore, it doesn'tWhile I am willing to concede that this movie might be slightly more enjoyable to those unfamiliar with the source material, 'Constantine' does little to make itself anything more than a dumb supernatural action flick. Whatsmore, it doesn't even succeed on that front. For those who are unfamiliar, 'Constantine' is very loosely based upon the comic 'Hellblazer' which has been in print for more than 20 years. Both, focus upon the exploits of John Constantine, though the movie has taken a number of liberties with the character. Originally blonde, British, and combining occult knowledge with urban street-smarts, John Constantine is played by Keanu Reeves in one of his worst performances to date. I personally don't have anything against Mr. Reeves as an actor, but his attempts to portray Constantine (by the way, it's supposed to rhyme with Clementine. They pronounce it incorrectly throughout the entire film.) as a troubled man haunted by his past come off as wooden and unbelievable. The one good thing I can truly say about this film, is that it encouraged me to look into the comic. Upon doing so, I discovered that most of the scenes or set pieces, that I found interesting or unique in the film, were taken directly from the comic and that the rest of the plot of the film consisted of nonsensical mythos that doesn't fit into the logic of the comic or Catholicism in general. That's not to say that I found it confusing. It simply didn't make sense. For example, the movie talks about the Demon Mammon who apparently is Lucifer's son. However, in Christian mythology, Mammon is simply a high ranking Demon in Hell, much like Beelzebub. These kinds of inconsistencies make the mythos feel arbitrary at best.

Ultimately this film fails to establish itself as a good action movie, due to poor fight scenes, and excessive emphasis on an inherently flawed mythos. It feels more like a ripoff of its source material than it does an adaptation. I can't recommend it as an action film, as a thriller, or as a horror, so ultimately I've got to give this a 3 out of 10. It isn't completely devoid of enjoyable elements, but isn't nearly as good as it *should* be.… Expand

No, "Constantine" is not part of a trilogy including "Troy" and "Alexander." It's not about the emperor at all, but about a man who can see the world behind the world, and is waging war against the scavengers of the damned. There was a niceNo, "Constantine" is not part of a trilogy including "Troy" and "Alexander." It's not about the emperor at all, but about a man who can see the world behind the world, and is waging war against the scavengers of the damned. There was a nice documentary about emperor penguins, however, at Sundance this year. The males sit on the eggs all winter long in like 60 degrees below zero.
Keanu Reeves plays Constantine as a chain-smoking, depressed demon-hunter who lives above a bowling alley in Los Angeles. Since he was a child, he has been able to see that not all who walk among us are human. Some are penguins. Sorry about that. Some are half-angels and half-devils. Constantine knows he is doomed to hell because he once tried to kill himself, and is trying to rack up enough frames against the demons to earn his way into heaven.
There is a scene early in the movie where Constantine and his doctor look at his X-rays, never a good sign in a superhero movie. He has lung cancer. The angel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) tells him, "You are going to die young because you've smoked 30 cigarettes a day since you were 13." Gabriel has made more interesting announcements. Constantine has already spent some time in hell, which looks like a post-nuclear Los Angeles created by animators with a hangover. No doubt it is filled with carcinogens.
The half-angels and half-devils are earthly proxies in the war between God and Satan. You would think that God would be the New England Patriots of this contest, but apparently there is a chance that Satan could win. Constantine's lonely mission is to track down half-demons and cast them back to the fires below. Like Blade, the vampire-killer, he is surprisingly optimistic, considering he is one guy in one city dealing on a case-by-case basis, and the enemy is global.
Constantine has a technical advisor named Beeman (Max Baker), who lives in the ceiling of the bowling alley among the pin-spotting machines, and functions like Q in the James Bond movies. Here he is loading Constantine with the latest weaponry: "Bullet shavings from the assassination attempt on the Pope, holy water from the river of Jordan, and, you'll love this, screech beetles." The screech beetles come in a little matchbox. "To the fallen," Max explains, "the sound is like nails on a blackboard." Later there is a scene where Constantine is inundated by the creatures of hell, and desperately tries to reach the matchbox and get those beetles to start screeching.
Rachel Weisz plays Angela Dodson, an L.A. police detective whose twin sister, Isabel, has apparently committed suicide. Isabel reported seeing demons, so Angela consults Constantine, who nods wisely and wonders if Isabel jumped, or was metaphysically pushed. Later in the film, to show Angela that she also has the gift of seeing the world behind the world, Constantine holds her underwater in a bathtub until she passes out and sees the torments of hell. No bright white corridors and old friends and Yanni for her. You wonder what kind of an L.A. cop would allow herself to be experimentally drowned in a bathtub by a guy who lives over a bowling alley.
Together, they prowl the nighttime streets. At one point, Constantine needs to consult Midnite (Djimon Hounsou), a former witch doctor who runs a private nightclub where half-angels and half-demons can get half-loaded and talk shop. There is a doorman. To gain admittance, you have to read his mind and tell him what's on the other side of the card he's holding up. "Two frogs on a bench," Constantine says. Could have been a lucky guess.
There is a priest in the film, the alcoholic Father Hennessy (Pruitt Taylor Vince), whose name, I guess, is product placement.
The forces of hell manifest themselves in many ways. One victim is eaten by flies. A young girl is possessed by a devil, and Constantine shouts, "I need a mirror! Now! At least three feet high!" He can capture the demon in the mirror and throw it out the window, see, although you wonder why supernatural beings would have such low-tech security holes.
Reeves has a deliberately morose energy level in the movie, as befits one who has seen hell, walks among half-demons, and is dying. He keeps on smoking. Eventually he confronts Satan (Peter Stormare), who wears a white suit. (Satan to tailor: "I want a suit just like God's.") Oh, and the plot also involves the Spear of Destiny, which is the spear that killed Christ, and which has been missing since World War II, which seems to open a window to the possibility of Nazi villains, but no.… Expand

And that's why the film works,this film works on a whole different level than most comic book adaptions and even most supernatural thrillers it put's it case and makes a statement most films don't have the balls to do and they do it with such style and grace that this film just blows away the competition and makes other supernatural thrillers look like seaseme street, and I mus say that's hard to do. Seeing as most films in this genre crash and burn this one takes off to new heights and makes you see what you've never seen before. Keanu Reeves( who in my opinion is an awesome actor.) turns in one of his best and most powerful performances of his career as a man who been to the ends of life and back. And Keanu does it with such style and grace that John Constantine that you just can't hate. This film is not as you expect it too be, when you pop in this film you expect it to be your usual supernatural thriller, but you get so much more. You get a trip into a world that nobodies ever seen before and you come our saying "Hey that was actually pretty cool." And then you know that you've gotten what your money's paid for.… Expand
