Customer Ratings & Reviews

Constantine is the story of John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a New York City inhabitant who, after being revived from having killed himself as a teenager finds himself cursed with the ability to see angels and demons on earth. For his sin, Constantine must go to the bad place when he dies, so he seeks to earn favor with God by destroying as many of the invading demons as possible. He is aided by the young Chazz (Shia Laboeuf) and voodoo master Papa Midnight (Djimon Hounsou), and is occasionally visited by the angel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton, who is very amusing in the role). The performance I am most impressed with when it comes to this movie is that of Peter Stormare as the devil. Though I don't want to spoil it, let's just say he defies convention. For his scene alone I recommend this film. This 2 disc edition is great. It's got a ton of features, including several deleted scenes and an alternate ending. For anyone who enjoys special features, this is the version to get, and this film's special effects are quite interesting to see dissected. I recommend it.

This is a fantastic movie, my wife and I love it! Keanu Reeves is superb, as usual. It has an all star cast including Rachel Weisz, Shia Labeouf, Djimon Hounsou, Tilda Swinton, Gavin Rossdale, and my favorite Peter Stormare. (He plays the Devil, and his role alone is worth buying this movie!) The imagery and special effects are outstanding. This film, which is actually based on a graphic novel, is a definite must see! I highly recommend it! Also, some other great films that are similar are Max Payne, Ghostrider, and The Prophecy series.

Maybe because I'm seeing it for the second time, but it was a lot better than I remember it, and much better than the critics made it seem. I think if you go in not expecting a guns-blazing action-fest, you'll be impressed or at least entertained with the unique story and plot.
