Constantine

[urgeok]

Saw a trailer for this last night and if you can go by a trailer (which you cant) this one might be good. It's typical Keanu but depending on the character (i.e. the MAtrix) then it sometimes fits.

I'll probably check this one out in the theatre.

[phantomstranger]

When I first heard that Reeves was going to star in this movie ,I thought it was going to be a pile of crap. He looks nothing like the original comic book character, but after seeing the preview, I am now interested in seeing it. Let's hope it's worth it.

[ChEEbA]

Didn't know it was based on a comic at all....anyways, I'll repost what I thought of it in my trailer thread

"Constantine (at upcominghorrormovies.com)
Ok, I saw a smaller trailer a while back, and I was of two minds about it, it looked kinda interesting, but I was thinking I might just wait for the dvd....
However, there's a full length trailer that goes into a lot more detail now, and the movie looks GOOD.
I don't think much of Keanu, but Rachel Weisz = hotness...
The movie looks to be a supernatural horror themed thriller.
Plot involves main character undergoing a process by which he'll be able to see...things...but when he sees them, they see him, horror ensues...etc.
Mythical stuff, demons, alternate dimensions....
I can't really explain it. Looks quite intense though, and I have to say the special effects look brilliant.
I'll be seeing this one as soon as I can.
Go have a look at the new trailer, it's cool..."

[ChEEbA]

And here I thought you were a banned idiot....

[phantomstranger]

The comic this movie is based on is called "Hellblazer" I think it's published by DC. The movie's name was changed to avoid confusion with the "Hellraiser" movies

[ChEEbA]

Yeah, I just heard that from a friend tonight...
Hellblazer is a pretty popular comic, right?
Apparently keanu is SO not right for the part...
Anyways, looks like a decent movie, I'll check it out all the same.

[allmykids]

Hay SITINAS there is something growing out of your neck..... and it's Disgusting, OOPS, That's your head!!

[Hate_Breeder]

Have you guys seen the trailer for this movie yet. It stars Keanu Reeves and it looks alright i guess...a little bit too remeniscent of a Keanu movie though :(

[barbra]

Tagline: Hell wants him. Heaven won't take him. Earth needs him.

[majorbludd]

[_Leatha_Face_]

K. Reeves is in it, it looks like it has potential maybe a little bit to much on the special FX but i was wondering what u guys think about it??


shit i just saw a thread on this by hate breeder, srry plz delete!

[immortalem]

I saw a trailer for this film and it looks interesting. I'm not a big fan of Keanu Reeves but I do like Rachel Weisz, so I think I will go see it.

[Angra]

Yes, it looks pretty promising.:)

But so did "White noise".....:rolleyes:

[slasherman]

Hmmm wonder how "Constantine" is ? anybody seen it ?

[IDrinkYourBlood]

I think I saw the trailor for this? Im pretty dure I did. Anyways It looked cool...i think? I cant remember.................shit.

[ItsAlive75]

I think it looks good from the trailers and clips I've seen. It's definetly a perfect role for Keanu... not a lot of acting and a lot of brooding stares.

[MisterSadistro]

anyone ever read Hell Blazer?
Yep. I got probably the first 3 years or so in a box somewhere. I used to love it.

[ScaryStuff]

If it in anyway follows the concept of the comics...it should be cool...but don't count on it.

[Vodstok]

"Matrix Meets the Devil's Advocate: Neo beats up Demons."

Agent Lucifer: I'll eat your soul... Mr Anderson......


I think it looks cool. I like Keanu in spite fo myself. He seesm to take his job seriously but still has a good time. gotta respect that.

[mothermold]

....i'm hoping for the best and preparing for the worst(and why the fuck did'nt they title this film hellblazer?)....let's hope this IS another matrix and not a johnny(fucking)nuemonic.:(

I had seen the trailer awile back and it looks good movies turned games are always lame with horrible game play, just look at some recent travistys like the ltr and the matrix games. even games turned movies are pretty lame. DAMN OUR MULTI-MEDIA CULTURE! They take your money from every angle. Thats it, Im joining the federation.

[slasherman]

I dont know but it reminds me a little bit of "The Omen" :confused:

[Za'afiel]

I like Costantine I like the whole Anti-Heroe ambient. And I was thinking the other day "Wouldn't it be awesome if there was a "The Omen" remake"?.

maybe..but can anybody make such a good movie today ?...I mean that has a spesial feel wich is difficult to remake...:cool:

[Thepuppetmaster]

I got a chance to see this movie today. I absoluty loved it. It i think will be the best movie of the year for me. What do you guys think of the movie?

[Elvis_Christ]

I think I'll avoid it..... there's just something about it that pisses me off.

[Thepuppetmaster]

Thats a stupid descision on your part i belive. Mainly because its just a great movie. Is it because of revees?

[IDrinkYourBlood]

It was allright, nothing special. 4 out of 5, better then anything else out right now.

I thought it was pretty good, the special effects were great. the acting was average but I think the story and the ending were really good and there's some humorous moments too.

[Geoforcezx]

I love horror movies with a bit of humour :D

But i hate it when they over do it too much :rolleyes:

it's not over done at all, it's just here and there.

I belive the "Ted" they are talking about is Keanu Reeves character in the Bill and Ted movies, I think this because A.that was his name in the films and B. Keanu "can't act for shit";)

I think he's ok.

I think his dumb surfer disposition works really well in most of his movies.

[Thepuppetmaster]

Well i have to admit i was jumping the gun on saying this was going to be the best movie of the year. I wasnt thinking about Rob zombies"The devils rejects or Charlie and the chocolate factory. HAIL MARILYN MANSON! and Fuck the Bill & Ted movies!! I have had enough of when ever his acting ability is mentioned everybody has to say something about the Bill&Ted movies. Those roles where the only roles that he took that werent serious and i think he is very serious about his acting when it comes to movies like the matrix. What do you think they used a double for his kung fo moves in the movies? thats bullshit give the man a break dont brand him just because he took a shitty role.

[Geoforcezx]

Watched thos movie last night (fianlly) it was amazing, and had a few surprising twists in the storyline, which are pretty cool, and i loved the demon possesion thing at the begining :D

[allmykids]

I loved it!! Great acting, monsters, And killer story line!! I will be bying this!!

[lee challenger]

I saw Constantine last night and I am pleased to say that in the main the film does justice to the Hellblazer comics.Not too sure about Rachel Weisz as a LAPD detective though and although Keanu Reeves looks the part as John Constantine he still does his usual bad habit of slipping into Bill and Ted mode.
However nit picking aside the overall look of the film is excellent
and doesn't sell out to the mainstream.There are some genuine
'jump' scenes and the special effects are outstanding.

Thanks for the review, Lee. I've been debating whether or not to see it. I think I've decided to see it after all.

Will prob go see this. Looks like a Matrix ripoff though.

Hope its better than that.

[Gren the cake]

i watched it tonight.

i loved the story of it, devils and such, would love to watch it again and try and pick up better on the details

the effects were OK, sometimes the screen was so damn dark tohugh. also, some of the speaking was off

keanu was horrible as usual, rachel was cool. and gavin rossdale? that was kinda cool i guess.

[BH14]

Seems like most of you all liked this movie... I read lot of user reviews and most of them hated this movie... I will watch this movie later tonight are review it. I wont compare it to the comic book because I never read the comic book. Hopefully, I will enjoy it.

[ShankS]

saw the film a while ago

I didn't enjoy it... it was one of those ' keep fidgeting & looking at the clock' type of films for me.

[The_Return]

It looks my style, I plan to check it out soon.

[BH14]

I really like the idea of one person battling demons from hell, especially if he has cool weapon. However, Constantine wasnt very good but it wasnt horrible either... I would give it a 6.5/10.... They should have just stuck with good action with plenty of cool looking cgi kills.... At the end, it starts to get lame and it tries to become too biblical. Just give me lot of action, nice cgi effects and a nice ending battle.

[novakru]

Rented and watched Constantine last night and LOVED IT.
I think it's interesting that most people expect some high caliber performance from a movie based on a comic book.
If you are really into comics and graphic novels,nine times out of ten-the movie is VERY good. At least the ones I have seen.

And I can not wait till Neil Gaiman gets some more of his characters on screen!!!(Neverwhere series kicked @#$!!)

[IDrinkYourBlood]

This movie totally sucked and was a let down. 2/5

[meetthecreeper]

Cinematic garbage.

Hated it.

I kept thinking the whole time Prophecy.

The actor that plays Satan was kool, his name escapes me, but other than that I found it quite boring.

Way too much CGI IMO.
