| Apologists aside, most thinking film fans are in agreement that the
MATRIX sequels blew, and blew hard. In my mind, the Wachowski brothers
made a fatal error in progressively centering the sequels around the
pitifully under-imagined Zion, rather than on...more |

| by Homer Yen (Rating: C) |
| I believe that Keanu Reeves may start to suffer
from what I call the Mark Hamill syndrome. One
film may define your career. And for Reeves,
that may be "The Matrix." Of course, banking
tens-of-millions for one project is an actor's
dream. But it's...more |
| Constantine Review |
| by Johnny Betts (Rating: 3.25/5) |
| That's the running theme of Constantine. God and Satan are apparently
gamblin' buddies, and a condition of their bet is that neither one can
have direct contact with humans. However, they are allowed to attempt
to influence through intermediaries. For...more |

| by David N. Butterworth (Rating: 3/4) |
| Here, Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis's "Hellblazer" chronicles serve as a
sprightly vehicle for the post-"Matrix" Keanu Reeves, looking and acting not
unlike that series of films central protagonist (including his
Neo-monochromatic
attire and...more |

| by Rebecca Fransway (Rating: 10/10) |
| Most of the viewers of this film, like myself, will come to
Constantine having never seen the comic, Hellblazer, which the film is
based upon. Be assured this film stands on its own; in fact, viewers
are probably better off not to have read the comic and...more |

| Susan Granger's review of "Constantine" (Warner Bros.)
John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) has been to hell and back, literally.
Tormented by an innate ability to see the "half-breed" angels and demons who
pass as humans, he committed suicide as a...more |
| Constantine Review |
| by Jon Popick (Rating: 8/10) |
| If you think the battle between Heaven and Hell is intense, you should take a
peak at what's happening inside my mind right now. Half of it swears that
Constantine is little more than flashy CG and a gobbledygook story. The
remaining morsel of brain is...more |

| by Robin Clifford (Rating: B-) |
| Harboring a "gift" that he never wanted, John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) has
the ability to see "half-breeds" - angels and demons that walk the earth
disguised as humans in a battle for the collective soul of mankind. As a
tormented teenager, John tried...more |
| Constantine Review |
| by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2/4) |
| Looking like a burned out version of Neo, Keanu Reeves plays John Constantine,
a guy who has had a taste of hell so he devotes his life to deporting
half-breed devils, sending them back to burn in eternal damnation. When we
first meet him, he is...more |
