Constantine Reviews
Visuals and attitude -- not for kids.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010
Blazes few new trails and bogs down in a confusing narrative muddle.

I deeply loathe the Heaven-and-Hell genre to which this cinematic comic-book spectacular belongs.

Halfway through Constantine, a fully clad Keanu Reeves steps into a shallow pail of water, sits on a chair next to it and holds a cat in his lap.

Peaks early, then descends into portentous nonsense.
| Nov 5, 2007
Entirely beyond redemption.

Reeves, meanwhile, has confidently entered his self-parodic period.
Full Review | May 12, 2006
While lacking the richness of its source material, it remains an enjoyable, immoral and sometimes beautifully Gothic tale.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006
It's occasionally cheesy, sometimes enjoyable, intermittently scary, and constantly spiked with celestial blatherskite.
| Jan 17, 2006
Virtually anyone but Reeves would have made a better John Constantine.
Full Review | Sep 26, 2005
A grab bag of bits from the whole demons-and-angels spectrum.
| Apr 5, 2005
Constantine's incoherent plotting ruins the comicbook's frazzled, hard-bitten edge.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 8, 2005
Maybe some of the audience should wonder if they aren't performing the Devil's work by sitting so quietly through movies that turn wonders into garbage.

It's just so awful that the crew must have been snickering.

Those who can set aside their preconceptions will discover one of the more artfully designed comic-based films in some time.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 20, 2005
You can just picture the meeting: A few guys in Prada suits sit around an L.A. boardroom table going, 'The Matrix meets The Exorcist, huh . . .? With Keanu? I like it. No wait - I love it.'
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 19, 2005
Keanu Reeves is -- let me just get this off my chest -- very good.
Full Review | Feb 19, 2005
The new DC Comics adaptation of Constantine from Warner Bros. is probably the best $80-million anti-smoking commercial ever made.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 19, 2005
Takes itself just seriously enough to put on a good show. Reeves earns some theatrical redemption, the demons put a scare into the waywardly righteous, and there are plenty of evil-duders left over for a sequel.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 18, 2005
Makes repeated visits to a hell that looks to have been designed by Hieronymus Bosch in collaboration with Gianni Versace for a Marilyn Manson arena tour.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 18, 2005
