As far as comic book adaptations go, this movie certainly did not suck. I've turned a corner in my life and do not get all bent out of shape when an adaptation does not mirror the written work.
I imagine making a Hellblazer movie is a pretty daunting task, where would you fuking start? here is a small list of things I would have liked to have seen that are found in the comic:
1) Swamp Thing.
*end of list*
Francis Lawrence makes the transition from music videos to feature film well, and didn't opt for a flashy visual style at the expense of story and character (like UWE FUKING BOLL!!).
He immediately immerses the viewer in Constantine's intriguing environment, and doesn't treat us like idiots by explaining every detail in 4-yr old terms.
As an actor Keanu Reeves has never shown much depth , but with the efforts of a good casting director and costume designer and he cuts a memorable figure.
At first glance hedoesn't fit the John Constantine role (in the comic, John Constantine is a supernatural hustler, British, depressed, blond and doomed), but this US version suits me fine.
Rachel Weisz is dammned fine to watch, fuk I'd watch 2 hrs of her peeling garlic while jumping on a trampoline.
NOW GO TO FLICKHAUS/DL AND WATCH THIS MOVIE!!

Neo? Kicking demon ass? Whoa.
Rachel Weisz, however, may kick my cock's ass any time she pleases.
Sounds good LK. I thought I'd want to see it bad, but then I read some of the reviews.. maybe I'll check it out now.

Her character in The Mummy was super-wicked hot, until I saw her in a Maybelline commercial talking about how great the product was cause she could jetset around LA without stopping to reapply and "like, my boyfriend still totally loves my look!" Ruined her charm.
But then Mummy II came out.
Thanks Kahuna. I read a bad review or two about Constantine, which got my hopes down, but that was in the local newspaper, and your claws beat their skin anyday.

All I can find are svcd's; and since I like quality, I'm mad.
Still, its not a bad film. I thought Reeves wouldn't be able to carry the act, mostly because Constantine was British. Plus, Weisz is nice to look at.
On a comic book side note, I'd like to see The Punisher redone once more, this time taking the first 5 comics done by Garth Ennis about Frank's days in Nam. Now those really showed The Punsiher.

Absolutely KICK-ASS. It had its cheesy moments (Keanu really couldn't make the smoking believable) but otherwise good FX, story and action.
Thanks, massive movie penis man. :D

I caught the movie today while at work(Yup, got paid to see a movie). I totally dug this film. Not SUPER spectacular but thats what is so good about it. Its not a Bruckheimer/Bay/overkill film. Well done.
