Thread: Upcoming Constantine Movie

    Default Upcoming Constantine Movie

    What does anyone else think about this movie. Here is a brief synopsus of the movie for them that have no idea what movie I am talking about-

    The movie stars Keanu Reeves as a supernatural private eye who helps a police detective played by Rachel Weisz into inquiring about the strange suicide that was committed by her twin sister. As the movie progresses, it turns out that there is a war that is brooding between the forces of Heaven and hell and the suicides that are plaguing the city is some how connected to it. As in all movies of this nature, there are twist and turns that can be seen a mile away and it all leads to a climax that involves weapons of holy origin. Keanu brands a holy Shotgun and in one scene uses holy brass knuckles to fight against one of the main baddies. While this was decent eye candy, you can't get over the bad acting of Keanu Reeves, who is just playing the character of Neo and The rest of the actors don't fair any better in this movie with the exception of Rachel Weisz and Djmon Hounsou, who both manage to stand out in this mess despite the fact that the script does not do them or their performances any justice. I was more interested in their characters than Keanu's attempt at drama and in my opinion, it probably would have been a better movie if they just focus on their characters instead of his. The look of the film is a little too dark in some places and the script in question lacks focus, not to mention any real dialog to go with it. The special effects are decent but with how dark the film is, you could not really see any of them too clearly and when you do see them, you can see the bad CGI in all it's glory.
    The movie is set for release this month, Feburary 18th

    It looks pretty cool. I saw a commercial for it. But Keanu's accent makes me laugh so I'd probably crack all through the movie.

    While I enjoyed the Constantine comics, I have no desire to see this movie. It's gonna a 'help the girl, fall in love with her, fight some monsters, woo hoo' flick and I cant stand those. I also think Reeves is a horrible choice to play Contantine. He's such an amazing character, and Reeves is such a terrible actor.

    To be honest, Keanu Reeves looks more like Max Payne in the movie.

    The commercials look cool for it...but I don't know if I'll ever see a movie in a movie theater again.
