The Worst Film Ever

Don't listen to the negative reviews

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Tone, Script & Story: The story is how the rule of devils son is to be bought onto earth and how it is stopped mostly with the help of John Constantine. Our Constantine has a destiny that is hell bound, he tries to buy his way in heaven will he succeed? Thus summing it up, the Tone, Script & Story comes out to be all 'good'.Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography: The visual appeal that is highlighted with elements those come into study when we consider the world with angels and demons lift up the movie. They altogether come out to be 'very good'.Final Verdict: One of the best movies of its kind consisting of our world and the places where Angel's and demons exist. It is worth adding to your collection.

Never seen movie like that.Repeating on regular bases since highschool.I don't think there will be another constantine ever.I request sir Francis Lawerence to make such movie just one more time.I dont like new movies much much more now a days though

What this movie made clear was that Keenau Reeves is far, far away from even Tilda Swinton's shadow when it comes to acting. The role of Neo in the Matrix was more or less written for him, but it is actually all he can and in this movie it is out of its palce and annoying. Rachel Weisz, who played a great role in the constant garderner in the same year is total flat out and uninspired. This movie is however rescued by the (too few) appearances of Tilda Swinton as Gabriel gone mad. She puts al lot of fun in the role, you see she enjoys it and she sparkles from the screen. Now I have to admit the scipt doesn't allow the actors to really excell, all is pretty basic and predictable. Ofcourse Constantine will sacrifice himself to go to heaven. But the holes in the script are also obvious... if Isabel sacrificed herself by commiting suicide, why is she in hell if constantine goes to heaven for the same deed? Well there are some silly demon attacks, we get some ugly make-up, holy water saves the day in some moments and well thats about it.

Context.You need context.This review penned in 2017, some 12 years after the release.In this period, Marvel and DC are at each other's throats, each trying to monetize every character, sub-character, plot device and dust bunny from their respective libraries. Regardless of merit. It is all about the dollars.A story as pure as this one -- penned by Kevin Brodbin -- could never be done today because it lacks the setup for a dozen spinoffs and sequels, as well as the mandatory backstory and product placements.Sporting two of the most charismatic and photogenic stars of all time, at the peak of their careers, we have a story with no bad lines, no lapses in the arcs, and no time wasted. Just pure, engrossing, film pleasure from beginning to end.Yes, I know that it was not appreciated in its day. But the future is always the final judge.
