	Constantine Movie - The Hollywood News
		As Constantine attempts to get to the bottom of this unsettling development, he is lead to police officer Angela Dodson, a grief-stricken woman who is mourning the loss of her twin sister.
		Constantine opens Angela’s eyes to a world she never consciously knew existed, and together, the odd pair (or God Couple) embark on a harrowing journey to discover the source of the evil that is plaguing their lives.
		Her reason for deciding to become involved with Constantine is one of the most compelling and dramatic aspects of the film.

	Constantine - Movie Review
		Now an adult, Constantine (Keanu Reeves) knows all too well where he is headed the next time he dies, and so, in a self-serving attempt to earn admission to Heaven instead, he has dedicated himself to deporting back to Hell any demons who cross the line on Earth.
		John Constantine started life as a secondary character in Alan Moore's DC Comics series 'Swamp Thing', before becoming the centre of attention in Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis' spin-off comic 'Hellblazer'.
		'Constantine', you see, is concerned less with demonic chopsocky than with allegorising the eternal conflict between good and evil, sin and redemption (note the main character's initials) - which is why right from the outset it aligns itself directly to that other horror film with a strongly theological bent, 'The Exorcist'.

	Djimon Hounsou: Constantine - Movie
		Constantine is the story of a demonologist/exorcist who was born with the unique and uncanny abilities to see and combat demons(and angels), and other creatures from hell.
		For example: in the first 45 minutes of Constantine, John Constantine is continuously smoking cigarettes, and we are shown (quite often) the severity of his lung cancer.
		Constantine is a very bad adaptation of the Comic book called Hellblazer and when I say bad, I do mean bad.

	Flipside Movie Emporium: Constantine Movie Review
		Constantine, lifted from the Hellblazer books of their Vertigo line, is more John Milton than Stan Lee.
		Its universe is threatened not by mad scientists or egomaniacal conquerors, but by villains of a much older bent: the minions of Hell engaged in their eternal chess match with God's heavenly host.
		Constantine won't set any new standards for comic-book films, but it's good enough and consistent enough to keep its parent company in the race.

		John thanks him, light up a cigarette with a heavily ornamented gold lighter (he does it a lot in the movie) and walks up to the girl’s room, where the girl was tied to her bed.
		Constantine tells her of the devil’s bible, which has a chapter 17 and tells a very different picture of the Revelation.
		But John Constantine just can't resist flipping the Devil the "bird" one last time as he ascends, pissing him off to the extent that the Devil rips Constantine back from Heaven, cures him of terminal lung cancer (and slit wrists) and sets him back here on earth to fight evil another day.

	Constantine Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) is a noir-ish, cynical operative whose specialty is beating back Satan and his minions, keeping them on their side of an inter-dimensional fence.
		During Constantine's visits to Hell, he's pursued by a horde of brainless, Gollum-like demonsâ¦when we say "brainless," we mean, "no head from the upper jaw up," with their yawning brainpans shaped like toilet bowls.
		There are also documentary bits on Vermin Man, the movie's version of Hell, Gabriel's angel wings, the pre-production animatics for given scenes, and the scene where Satan sucks Angela backwards through a building and straight to Hell, as she crashes through walls and an entire cube-farm of Herman Miller units along the way.

	Frank's Reel Reviews: Movie Review of Constantine
		Resigned to his ultimate fate, Constantine is a droll, bitter demon-fighter that, as Reeves puts it, "prefers not to get close to people because they tend to die." Not sure if Constantine's lack of emotion is Keanu molding himself into his character or the filmmakers writing down to his abilities…probably the latter.
		During their investigation, Constantine begins to realize he is not quite prepared for the dual role of demon-slayer and murder investigator as their search for answers takes them literally to hell and back.
		Constantine is a shocking yet entertaining supernatural thriller, as visually stimulating as it is thought provoking.

		Our goal is to provide Christians with information about the movies, both the good and the bad, so that our readers may make an informed decision as to whether or not the films are appropriate for them and their families.
		Constantine was revived, however, and now he wanders the earth, trying to earn his way back into heaven by blowing Satan’s minions back to the underworld.
		The movie’s visual style and iconography, of sorts, are grounded in Catholic Christianity, though familiarity with Catholicism is not a prerequisite for following the story, according to Lawrence.

	The Trades - Constantine
		So I write this review as I went into "Constantine," a movie based on the DC Comics graphic novel Hellblazer, viewing it like most audiences will, from the perspective of one who knows only as much about the story's universe as is presented by the movie's advertising.
		So Constantine knows that when his rapidly diminishing time is finally up, he's f*ed (as the angel Gabriel so bluntly puts it to him.) Constantine** believes his only hope of getting into Heaven is to score brownie points with God by sending as many demons back to Hell as he can.
		The world of "Constantine" is not unlike that of contemporary vampire movies like "Blade" and "Underworld," where hybrid demons have their own secret nouveau-riche-beatnik club hangouts.

	Constantine - Movie Reviews Blog
		In perhaps the most glaring example, Constantine says that because he’s a suicide that he’s trying to perform enough “good” works to get into Heaven (which in and of itself is the fallacious thinking that Catholics can work or buy their way into Heaven).
		Constantine, a chain-smoker, is dying of vicious lung cancer and is diagnosed with only weeks to live.
		Constantine is still a self-absorbed, sarcastic jerk with the occasional glimpse at that heart of gold, but he isnât nearly as lively as he should be.

	MovieFreak.com - "Constantine" Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Keanu Reeves’ central character is so consumed by his addiction, so unable to quit even with the certain knowledge of imminent death and a literal trip to purgatory weighing on his conscience that I really can’t think of a better filmed depiction of the terribly corrosive power of tobacco.
		The story of John Constantine (Reeves), a man who knows there is both a Heaven and a Hell and that he’s slated to go headfirst into the latter, this movie sounds almost fun on paper.
		The movie is such a complete muddled waste of time and talent (and what exactly is Shia LaBeouf doing running around as a pre-pubescent cab driving geek?) and is so devoid of a single original idea all it really does is make you want to scream.

	Constantine (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The movie stars Keanu Reeves as a detective that deals with the supernatural who helps a female police officer (Rachel Weisz) fight against the forces of evil in order to save her twin sister's soul from the forces of evil.
		Unfortunately, Constantine himself is not that interesting and Keanu Reeves comes out looking like he's trying out for the next Batman movie with his way too grim performance.
		See it for the better than the movie performances of Rachel Weisz, Gavin Rossdale and Djimon Hounsou but don't expect a good movie that lives up to their talents.

		As he seeks the truth, a police detective finds her way to his doorstep as she tries to understand the reasoning behind the suicide of her twin sister, which of course is connected to the rise of the son of the Devil.
		The scene where Constantine fights the demon that killed his friend should have been a major moment, but not only was the fight nothing to be excited about, but Lawrence never suggested to us, the audience, through his use of directing tricks, that we should even consider getting excited about it.
		It's a good popcorn movie and will probably make a good rental, but "Constantine" is definitely not a movie that should ever have been classified as a popcorn flick.

	Movie Habit: Review of Constantine (2005), ***
		Constantine is a rare creation, a comic book-based movie that actually raises some philosophical questions worth thinking about.
		Now a chain-smoking investigator of the supernatural, Constantine is a man desperately searching for redemption and trying to earn his way back into God’s good graces before either Satan or his smoking habit prove to be his undoing.
		Based on the DC/Vertigo Hellblazer comics, Constantine may not be faithful enough to its source material for the true believers, but it hits enough of the right marks to stand on its own for those less familiar with its origins.

		Born with a gift he didn't want, the ability to recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human camouflage, Constantine (Keanu Reeves) was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision.
		Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn't want your admiration or your thanks — and certainly not your sympathy.
		"Constantine" is based on characters from the DC Comics/Vertigo Hellblazer Graphic Novels.

		CONSTANTINE, yet another movie based on a comic book, is slow, silly and stupid but tolerable when funny.
		The movie is tedious except for the humorous bits.
		Typical of the comic moments is the time that Constantine, a chain smoker rapidly dying from lung cancer, decides to end the life of a spider.

	Constantine movie review \| MoovGoog Movie Blog
		"Welcome to my world" is a quote by Keanu Reeves in Constantine (trailer.) This time around, his world does not allow him to use cool stunts to battle the evil guys.
		John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) posesses the ability to see the evil spirits that roam in earth, creating havoc for humans.
		Together, he and Rachel Weisz must stop the evil plan, like James Bond and the Bond girl stopping the villian from conquering the world.

	Constantine movie review
		The world of John Constantine, as imagined by Brit comic book veterans Jamie Delano and Garth Ennis in their Hellblazer series, is a fanboy’s wet dream.
		Born with the ability to see the demons and angels around him, he once tried to kill himself and survived; unfortunately, God’s zero-tolerance policy against suicide means he’s doomed to Hell— and since he’s dying of lung cancer, he may get there sooner rather than later.
		A noir anti-hero dripping with cynicism and possessed of an unbreakable code of honor, the character of Constantine is a far cry from Neo’s Zen Superman act, and to his credit Reeves does succeed in creating a unique character.

		Constantine is a DC comics character called John Constantine who first appeared in Swamp Thing and then got his own comic called Hellblazer.
		Reports of a movie adaptation began back in 1997 with word that a script had been written by a Mark Bomback and a Paul Hunter attached to direct.Producing was Lauren Shuler-Donner.
		Constantine is gritty, whereas I would describe Tarsem's style as moving colourful paintings.

		And while he may be a badass, I wish that the movie itself would have emulated him just a bit more.
		His calm and collected conversation with John Constantine during the climax of the film is the coolest calm-and-collected-conversation-during-the-climax-of-a-film since Beatrice Kiddo dueled with Bill.
		In the end, this is a movie that relies heavily on its cool factor which should tell you if you will like this or not.

	Review: Constantine
		This quest calls on Constantine's knowledge of demonology and fl magic, in addition to his courage and fortitude in undertaking a treacherous journey and facing Balthazar (guitarist Gavin Rossdale), the malevolent emissary of Satan (Peter Stormare).
		On the Granger Movie Gauge of 1 to 10, "Constantine" is a sinister, supernatural 6, giving a gothic, grotesque twist to the old adage: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."

		Yea I have to agree about the final fantasy movie, slipped my mind but now that I remember it was a really good CG movie.
		he could play the cynical smartass constantine, look at his characters in films like mad dog and glory, hudson hawk, (granted not the most popular films) but they in specific show he could play a good annoying smart ass or tenacious guy who wont give up even if he knows he wont win.
