Movie Review |
Reviewed by
Eugene Novikov :
To say that Constantine is "ridiculous" is
to say nothing useful about the movie. Of course it
is ridiculous. It concerns a paranormal detective who
has a talent for seeing the creatures of heaven and
hell battling it out for the souls of mankind on Earth,
and I would be crushingly disappointed if it were anything
less than ludicrous. I don't think people realize how
boring the cinematic landscape would be without a healthy
dose of absurdity, since the freedom to dabble in the
outlandish is often accompanied by energy, spirit and
daring.

Review By David Nusair :
Constantine is just about the best-looking
mediocre movie to come around in a long while. Director
Francis Lawrence (along with cinematographer Philippe
Rousselot) imbues the film with a slick, Fincheresque
sense of style that's far more intriguing than anything
the screenplay has to offer. The storyline, despite
the best efforts of everyone involved, just isn't engaging,
primarily because it's so ludicrous (unreasonably so).

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 still busy looking
for its shoes and socks, which were soundly knocked
off by the big picture version of the Jamie Delano/Garth
Ennis comic book called Hellblazer. So which half is
right? It’s anyone’s guess, really. But
even the former hemisphere will admit Constantine is,
in a sea of The Wedding Dates and Boogeymans, the pride
of 2005.
