Plot:
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 was driven...( read more

A lot of people might possibly disagree but, personally, I feel that this is a great film. To begin with, the whole "occult" feel of the film appeals to me greatly. Next off, the ENTIRE cast played well with each other onscreen. But personally, I think that it were Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare who gave the best performances in this movie. Visually, the movie was very engaging, the plot progression well executed, and the script very well-written-done with just the right amounts of dark humour, the sense of the profound, realism, and as well as surrealism. Whether how many times I say this, I can not stress it enough: who ever started the trend of adapting graphic novels to the big screen was a complete genius.
Keanu Reeves gives a decent performance of John Constantine from the Hellblazer comics. The thriller element of the story is gripping with some great imagery and conceptual designs of the characters and settings.
This was on awesome movie. the story was good, the acting was great and the fights were just so freakin cool.
keanu reeves shows himself as a maturing actor playing the part of our dark hero constantine. rachel weisz is just as good as his coincidental sidekick. another great performance is found in tilda swinton who plays the angel gabriel. excellent support from a handful of up and coming actors at the time of making including djimon hounsou and shia labeouf. don't quite know what gavin rossdale from the band "bush" was doing in it but even he put in a good performance as balthazar. this film works because it's very dark. it's not the usual hollywood type flick. the hero is a dark mostly out for himself adrenaline junkie who's dying of cancer and trying to buy his way into heaven. it helps that there's tons of new ideas in the storyline and also that the c.g.i. is awesome, but fortunately that's not the be all and end all. a breath of fresh air in the comic book to film genre. well done to francis lawrence and team
Constantine is one of the few fantasy movies that was completely enjoyable. It had an excellent blend of plot and action. Occasionally Shila LaBeouf became slightly less than wanted.

hey i love this mvie it was aswome how u made all the demones it was aswome i give it a 2 thumbs up
All I can say is that this movie was good in spite of the bad story. Look for the sequal to be twice as dark and have a much better story behind it!
This is a fave of mine, despite it's many potholes in the script. It was actually more than I expected, I expected something written badly with your usual gratuitous violence and gore. Instead you get lots of snark and sarcasm, violence but not too much to make it redundant and a pretty good cast. All in all worth the rental and/or buying on eBay fees.
This movie is simply sick with it!! Truly fucking wicked. My fav of all time! Mind you that I have never heard of the comics before, but I'm into graphics, so I wouldn't give a fuck about some comicshyt
This film is nothing compared to the comics. First, who should be playing Constantine in my opinion would be Daniel Craig, perfect british, chain smoker, blonde bloke with an accent and not beautifully weird Keanu. Second, the comic book has the coolest stories and this one really didn't make a lot for me.
