Constantine

Not shit...i was quite shocked

It sticks pretty close to the comics and i didn't even feel the need to vomit when i saw Gavin from "Bush" trying to act.

Not a classic by any stretch of the imagination, but enjoyable eye candy non the less.

NB. Keanu Reeves still says "whoah" a lot

i've just seen it and i was quite surprised too... i was expecting it to be a big pile of shite, but it wasn't too bad.. even though i cant really stand keanu and his woahs.

samuraisloth · 23rd March 2005, 11:28 PM

i really really really want to go see this

gabrillowise · 24th March 2005, 06:41 PM

Jonathon Ross said this was shit, and because I trust him, I doubt I'll make the effort to go and see it.

Keanu Reeves is hot, but he is also one of the worst actors I think I've ever watched.

Also John Constantine had blond hair and is English.

Really? Any particular story arc?

Not really.

It was just certain moments in the movie reminded me of the books. Lots of half deamon/half human face shots and there are a lot of close up shots of peoples faces (esp. a close up of a bug crawling out a guys eye) which could have been lifted right out of Hellblazer. The look of the weapons and the look of the characters (except constantine himself oddly) was also pretty close.

that said, the last time i read one was in high school.

Not 100% acurate but it recrated the atmosphere pretty well, which i think is the most important thing.

i would quite like to see this but only out of curiosity because it looks promising but i can't say i was blown away with any of keanu reeve's movies. also, the game is shit.

i was pretty entertained by the film, which was nice coz i was expecting a pile of rot.
but keanu reeves has to be the worst "actor" in history.

try and look at the trailer for "a scanner darkly" it looks really cool, but then sir reeves appears and he's rubbish. should on the apple movies website.

went to see this last night, we couldnt stop laughing at the utter pish quality of acting. very very cheesy.

oh and scott pointed out the taxi driver guy looks like burny : )
