In the grand scheme of theological thrillers, Constantine aspires for the greatness of The Exorcist but ranks more closely with The Order. Based on the popular Hellblazer comic book series, and directed with nary a shred of intelligence by music video veteran Francis Lawrence, it's basically The Matrix with swarming demons instead of swarming machines. Keanu Reeves slightly modifies his Matrix persona as John Constantine, who roams the dark-spots of Los Angeles looking for good-evil, angel-devil half-breeds to ensure that 'the balance' between God and Satan is properly maintained. An ancient artifact and the detective twin of a woman who committed evil-induced suicide (Rachel Weisz) factor into the plot, which is taken so seriously that you'll want to stand up and cheer when Tilda Swinton swoops down as the cross-dressing angel Gabriel and turns this silliness into the camp-fest it really is. The digital effects are way cool (dig those hellspawn with the tops of their heads lopped off!), so if you don't mind a juvenile lesson in pseudo-Catholic salvation, Constantine is just the movie for you! --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - I really enjoyed this film
I see many people only gave this movie 3 stars but I have to say I really liked this movie. Maybe it's because I'm a horror writer and have been a horror fanatic for all my life but this movie was different from most of the horror that is being circulated around today. What makes it different? Well, for starters, it is thought provoking. You can't just waste 2 mindless hours watching a Jason or Michael Myers hacking up everyone who crosses their path. This movie has a level of depth to it that ... Read More
Rating: - Great For HD
I had seen this movie when it was first released and was impressed by the special effects. But with my endless quest to find hd movies (blue ray is taking over) I knew I had to purchase this one. And I am not disappointed. The extra features are easy to operate and the movie looks fantastic,not 3D like blue ray seems to bring out in their dvds. Hd movies are just that, it has outstanding clarity but doesn't give that fakey look that blue ray does.
Rating: - Hellblazer, it ain't.
Hmm, my earlier review has gone up in smoke. Let's see if I can remember what I said... Okay, probably fewer than 10% of the viewers are aware that this film is (at least theoretically) based on a comic series from Vertigo entitled Hellblazer. John Constantine is a bit of a meddler, really, investigating all kinds of weird happenings, and generally pissing off the bad guys. He's also supposed to be a magician, although you won't see him casting fireball.. at least in this movie.

Rating:  - Why does anyone still hire Keanu Reeves?
I'm sorry but the guy can't act. Period.
I'll always see him in Bill and Ted.
He's a screwball who should have went away after those two movies.
That said, Hollyweird screws up the comics again.
Another movie to watch with the volume turned off.
Pretty FX don't make a good movie.
Fun to look at, painful to listen to.
Rent it if your curious, don't be prepared to enjoy it.
Rating: - One of the worst movies starting Keanu Reeves
It's one of the worst movies starting Keanu Reeves. The plot is ridiculous. The special effects are below par. There's no suspense nor horror here.
