CONSTANTINE

very nice movie! maybe an 8.5/10. keanu plays the role perfectly...or at least to someone who hasnt read the comic book...(which is me) because he's so "unemotional" that he can actually pull off the sociopathic side of constantine. rachel weisz can act too plus with all the other characters. im hoping this becomes a franchise... and sequels would come. because the movie could actually convert a non-comic reader to read up on the movie. the visuals are at par with the matrix. but whats so good with this one is that it doesnt want to look like its cgi...or at least the cgi looks pretty much like the real set.
story wise... id give this a 9/10. very unique. most movies that has Supernatural characters usually portray them badly...like very stereotypical...but whats so good about the story is how its so subtle and connected. the story is deeply rooted in morality, christianity, and mysticism.

and yes. in the first two minutes of the movie....ud see a filipino flag. the first exorcism actually takes place at a filipino infested run down apartment! (go pinoys!!!) hehehehe!!! and the girl was actually talking in tagalog! woohoo! she was saying "papatayin kita!" im sure to foreigners it sounded like armaic or something....

talk about introducing filipino religious mysticism being displayed at a broad audience.

i have seen the movie too, but it wasn't the Phil. Flag on it but the Nazi's (the swastika thingee?!?!, where the "spear" was wrapped on, remember?). it was a great movie though. just like the " angels and demons" and " the Da Vinci Code", it could really take you aback and leave you thinking that all of these might and could really be factual....

i expect this movie to be a bad one. thinking that they could not give justice to the book and make the movie as bad as lxg, sayop diay ko. i have fun watching this movie. john constantine's cynical remarks cracks me up. you'll be cynical with life too if you know that even if you dispatch all demons to hell you still can't get in to the pearly gates because suicide is a mortal sin.

peter stormare over-the-top acting (armageddon, windtalker) as lucifer is super. the androgenous gabriel cut-off wings remind me of the movie 'dogma.'

i was entertained with the movie. while the story takes some parts from the movie " The Prophecy" it was ok by my standards none the less. now i cant wait for "the Preacher" movie. bring it on.

a 'preacher' movie? now that's something. imho, compare to 'preacher,' hellblazer's constantine is a lamb. it's more twisted and entertaining.

True that. I wonder who would best play jesse custer and the saint of killers?
