Constantine (2005)
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 (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. (Warner Bros.)

Constantine cost us fifty cents to rent at Family Video. There were two copies available, both of them "full screen." About halfway through it, the DVD started skipping and then came to a stop. I opened the tray and discovered that the back of the disc was covered in sticky, greasy fingerprints. The same thing happened when we went back and rented the second copy. None of this has anything to do with the movie itself, but instead speaks to the type of person who would enjoy Constantine.

Everything you've ever done you've only ever done for yourself. I like it more than the score it deserves. It's tough to rank movies like this, that really aren't that good but that you wholeheartedly enjoy. That's why I still haven't ranked that snuff film I found at a garage sale. It was a blank vhs tape labeled only with a piece of tape across the front that read, "Tank Girl" and I never saw Lori Petty again.

Keanu Reeves maintains his 'Neo' mold in a ridiculous, trying to open my mind but can't - non-sensical story that fails in every sense of the word - Please have mercy.

Could have been better with a different lead, but I guess the same could be said about any Keanu movie.

I've always liked this film much more than it really derserves. The plot, though intriguing, is thin and does not fulfil its potential. Weisz is uncharacteristically awful and Keanu is average at best, but his bland demeanor does seem to suit Constantine as a character. However visually this is a real treat, and it is all worth it for Peter Stormare's frankly legendary outing as the Devil in this film. Overall it's an entertaining couple of hours.

When demons from hell wreak havoc on earth, who ya gonna call? John Constantine, an exorcist who's actually been to hell. After two hours of this laborious twaddle, I know how he must feel. Dreary, to put it mildly; elaborate special effects are no compensation.

While taking massive liberties with the source material, Constantine has a lot to offer. Keanu Reeves, despite his limited emotional range, has more than what it takes to convingly portray a desperate, haunted man, cyncial and twisted. The movie's visual are stunning and inventive, there is able support from Tilda Swinton and Djimmon Honsou and Francis Lawrence makes a good impression as a director to keep an eye out for.

Rachel Weisz is brilliant, as always. Keanu Reeves delivers solid performance as well. While the theme may be alienating to some - at least it was to me - the cinematography, music, background sound, special effects are more than good to keep one hooked up.

This movie was lacking in so many ways. Rewatch: There's moments of promise that get lost in the middle. Way too long, too much exposition. I forgot Peter Stormare played the devil which is why I went back and he's criminally underused. So-so movie all around. Rewatch: the scenes in hell still rule, the exorcism to open is good and peter stormare is still good

Another movie where Keanu Reeves plays the same character, I just couldn't really get into this movie, started off pretty cool but in the end it just fizzled out.

Not terrible just terribly mediocre with literally nothing to differentiate it from the other pseudo horror/supernatural films Hollywood loves to put out. Too bad that this was based on some wonderful source material which they chose to ignore in favor of pushing out this mediocre pile. Keanu Reeves doubles as a mannequin as usual. There's some magic and demons or some such too.

This is a strange and weird film. The script has some problems, some of the lines come across as cheesy. Some of the visuals are pleasing to look at in this movie. Overall this movie is a miss.

I've never read the source material "Hellblazer", still, back in 2005 its aesthetics made "Constantine" one hell of a visit to the cinema. Today, it demands a fitting home cinema equipment to take full effect. Luckily, the great visuals that are still amazing to watch a decade later are met with concise story-telling and a powerful cast. Too bad the planned sequel never came about!

Watching this movie was like being fascinated by a bad car accident. You just can't look away. It's not completely without entertainment value. Watching Al Pacino be wicked is worth the price of admission.

Not without problems, but a good film nonetheless. Keanu is Keanu, as per usual, but this is the kind of movie that his "detached cool" vibe syncs with well. Shia shows up for the same reason he was in I, Robot (read: no reason), but the supporting cast beyond him is pretty impressive. Swinton is good, but Stormare's Satan is amazing -- easily my favourite film incarnation of Lucifer. The plot is weakened by its "stop the ticking clock!" device, but the effects and characters make up for it.

It seems to the script was written with laziness. The soundtrack is very bad, none causes feelings, the end is ridiculous. Poor acting of Keanu Reeves. It is of those movies that it has good special effects, however, you does not see the hour that finishes.

I liked some of it, but was indifferent through even more of it. I can see how "Constantine" might work as a dark graphic novel, but in translation to film, it fails to become Keanu's Matrix with demons. A tighter sequel could easily sway my thoughts, however.

Watchable, but ultimately totally forgettable outside of a smattering of memorable moments. Tilda Swinton is, of course, the best part of it.

This movie takes place in an alternate-universe LA where it is always raining. Kinda like London.

Keanu does a decent "I-don't-give-a-hamster's-ass-about-you-or-your-crucifix" performance...or in other words, he plays himself. Call me a sucker for some good old fashioned blasphemy, but I enjoyed this enough to get bumped down a couple of rings come Judgement Day.

Not too shabby. My only real gripe is that the CGI looks too CGI and Shia LaBeouf irritates the hell out of me. Still, not a bad job at all by Reeves and Weisz, and Stormare is his usual awesome-tastic self. Give it a shot. Plus, the guy from Bush is in it.

Nonsensical and loose adaptation plays hard and fast with plausibility as well, and is weighed down by a truly awful lead performance form Keanu Reeves.

I never read the comics but I seriously hope they're better than this. The action isn't very entertaining and although the concepts introduced in the movie seem entertaining they're never really expanded on enough to warrant any real interest.

A really lame story with unintentionally funny moments. Some scenes had no point other than to give scares or action. 5 points for style and visuals.

Ahead of its time in certain ways, Constantine pointed toward the rise of fantasy and horror entertainment in the years to follow. On its own, it has a lot of good ideas, striking imagery, and a lot of interesting execution, but Reeves' performance is a little samey in places, and Lebouf's presence is a mostly-inoffensive head-scratcher. Altogether, it's a film whose characters play backseat to its cinematography, and it could have been made noteworthy with some better performances.
