Constantine - Under Rated?

[Teki187]

I just re watched this film and i thought it was excellent.

Keanu Reeves in some places was quite bad, but in other he was superb.

Peter Stormare was good in his short lived part as the Devil.

Rachel Weisz was also good, though sometimes it felt like she was just thrown in there.

Anyone else opinions?

Word to that and the other comments in this thread

Agreed, it feels almost like a cult classic when I watch it even though it's mainstream, simply because it just seems to have fallen under the general radar. And in an extraordinary achievement, I actually see John Constantine when I watch it and not Keanu Reeves.

Easily one of my favourite films, I find it hard to believe how badly it was recieved initially.

Its different than the original/book/play/television series/radio show/Asian version, it must be bad!

 

[Teki187]

Do you think a NEW TV series would "taint" the films image?

 

[edgedemon]

its a wicked film, never heard of it before my missus made me watch it and thought it was brilliant

 

[Jokester]

I really like it, definitely underrated.

 

[Andelusion]

I saw it at the cinema and thought it was VERY good!

definitely a good film, watched it a few times now very enjoyable in parts. Some bad casting on his sidekick though.

I didnt really rate it tbh

It's not bad, i read the comics many years ago so i was kinda expecting the movie to suck which it does hard in places but it was still pretty good.

 

[Bear]

No I dont think so, I think its pretty much justified.

Is John Constantine meant to have the emotional range of a plank of wood though? I've not yet watched it but I can't imagine Keanu Reeves having the ability to convey anything other than a slightly gormless confusion.

I will try and watch it at some point and I do quite like a lot of films that Keanu Reeves has been in but that doesn't make the above any less true.

I agree he does have some, poor moments, but overall i think he's a good actor, he is like Marmite i guess.

On it's own I thought it was decent. But the character in the movie is absolutely nothing like the original Constantine character. Could have been much much better IMO.
