Nice

Something feels off about Constantine can't put my finger on it.

I love Hellblazer, and this is pretty different, but I can enjoy it for what it is. Always thought it had great CG too.

After the Shia LaShuttlecock video went up I remembered this movie existed and looked it up on Wikipedia. It seemed pretty cool, I might actually watch it now.

Yes finally, this movie deserves some defending. I really like it.

I've always liked this movie - the premise is way more interesting than most of the movies out there. I knew Rorie was a good guy!

The tone of the video seemed more like a "Half-good" feature rather than a "Defending your Movie" but then again those features are so similar in concept that its kinda hard to tell the difference when its not Alex Navarro.

I did kinda like this movie for a long time, I remember it having some pretty crazy action scenes in it.

I hadn't even heard of this film before last week. Might check it out, might have to torrent it though.

Was that an effort to sell me on the film, Rorie?

Edit: Just got to the last 20 seconds. So it's not the worst film? SOLD.

I remember liking this movie enough to buy it on DVD but I haven't seen it for at least 3 years. From what I recall, the movie's interpretation of Hell and having to go through a cat to get there was really cool as were the CGI demons. I also remember, even back in '05, I was glad to see Shia die. Probably more because he was the annoying brother on Even Stevens compared to the jerk he has become today.

Edit: Damn the Constantine page has a lot of trivia and quotes. Although some of the quotes don't seem necessary.

@PatVB: I think it's unique Catholic overtones and noir Demon World is enough for me to get something out of it.

I didn't know it was hated so much until I actually read up about it. I enjoyed it though, and Keanu is okay enough in it.

I have to disagree with Rorie's comments about Gavin Rossdale in the film because I found his presence to be utterly insufferable. However I'm forced to agree with everything else. Kinda makes me want to watch it again actually. Good Vid.

If this weren't a movie about John Constantine, it'd be acceptable.

John has some Dangerous Habits, and they don't involve chewing gum.

Do absolutely love Tilda Swinton's Gabriel though.

I enjoy the film a lot. I really wish those sequel ideas came through. They can do more with this interpretation of the character. It was profitable! The people making it enjoyed making it. Seemed like an easy green light.

i really do like this movie, my only problem with it is that its so dam well quiet sounds like reeves is whispering every time he speaks

I am a big Constantine comic fan and have to say that I enjoyed the movie, it was like a different take on the comic and was pretty cool.

Loved that ending. To the video, I mean. Awkward Rorie is the best Rorie.

Constantine's pretty fun. I guess its closest cinematic equivalent would be Dogma, since there's an awful lot of explaining what the heck is going on with those heckmonsters, plumbing all sorts of Judeo-Christian esoterica and apocrypha in the process. A really good Book of Revelations movie would be sweet too, since there's not really enough exploration of the Bible's (mostly purloined) glorious insanity. Instead of the four horsemen and the whore of babylon riding the seven-headed beast, we just get firemen trying to be good dads and women's basketball. Can't help but feel that's the wrong way to go for a decent blockbuster.
