it fucking rocked! we both thought it was great. who else has seen this yet?

it was way better than i thought it would be. what is it with keanu reeves? i mean, he is not a great actor by any means, but he sure gets good movie roles. he must have one hell of an agent.

Who's both? Was it Keanu? Cause if it was Keanu.

i heard the exact opposite

This was definetly supposed to be the second post.

both is me and my fiancee. we both found it very entertaining.

i think reeves gets all these great roles because he's a good actor for those "next door guy" roles (i.e. in the matrix, he's a normal haxx0r) who get to do something really difficult (i.e. in the matrix, he's THE ONE...).
but i don't like him nonetheless.

yeah, i dont like him either, but i like quite a few of his movies. weird.

but i wanted to post this about constantine for those who heard it was bad, but thought they may like it. if you like this type of movie, go! i really enjoyed it.

keanu is HOTT

<font color="dab9ea">I like Keanu Reeves. And I like that Rachel Wize (or however you spell it) chick, so I was wanting to see it simply for those reasons. We may go see it next weekend. </font>

I thought it was good. I really enjoy those type of movies. Had some serious plot holes, but it was easy to just forget about them and enjoy the rest of the movie.

I liked it a lot too. Who the fuck listens to critics anyway?

<font color=33FFFF> it wasn't great but it was still better than all three Matrix films put together.....not that that's a difficult achievement</font>

I can't believe that is was so terrible that it could take away the charm of the first movie.

I didn't like the second one, but the third one was good and the first is a classic, so overall I liked the trilogy.

it really made me crave cigarettes again. it was funny with the gum at the end.

Yeah, that part was great :D

I just want to say that your sig really cracks me up and I emailed it to a couple of people. I kept laughing thinking about it during class at random periods. Boy. It was kind of embarrassing.

put a tally down in my "chortle" column

The most acting I've ever seen Keanu Reeves do was in Bill + Ted.

:rofl:

Film noir is a very elastic genre. Movies like Blade
Runner or Dark City have used noir trappings to flesh
out their sci–fi plotlines. Even if you don’t know the term
“film noir,” you’ll recognize the symptoms: a gritty,
grizzled detective hits the darkened streets while
searching for clues to solve a case.
Noir style is combined with the horror genre in the latest
Keanu Reeves opus, Constantine. The results are
somewhat mixed; a few good scenes and some
inventive special effects are counterbalanced by heavy,
exposition laden sequences. Despite all the plot
explanation, the audience is still confused. Constantine
has all the style of film noir cross–bred with a horror epic,
but it’s a little too scatterbrained to hold together.
The character of John Constantine originally appeared
in Alan Moore’s comic book Swamp Thing in the early
’80s. Constantine was a chain–smoking British dude
who looked exactly like Sting, and spent his time
tracking down demons and the like. He was eventually
spun off into his own book, Hellblazer. Notice the title of
the big screen adaptation is Constantine, not Hellblazer.
That’s because some Pinhead stole the title Hellblazer
for his own horror franchise.
It’s also worth nothing that, although Moore created
John Constantine, he wanted no credit on the film. When
the creator disavows any personal knowledge of his own
character, that’s usually not a good sign.
The film Constantine is somewhat true to its pulpy
origins—John smokes 30 cigarettes a day and busts evil
sprits for his job as an underworld detective. But John is
no longer from jolly ol’ England. He’s been transplanted
across the pond to L.A., and morphed from Sting into
Keanu Reeves (maybe that’s why Alan Moore didn’t
want his name used).
A lot of people think Keanu is a black hole of talent; not
me. I’ve dug him ever since Bill and Ted and loved the
beat–downs he put on Agent Smith in The Matrix.
Reeves always sells whatever situation he’s in. He
believes what’s going on when most actors trapped in
FX movies would fall flat. In Constantine, he delivers his
lines in a growling way that works well with the noir
genre the film is set in. As a bonus, he doesn’t say
“Whoa!” once.
After a killer opening when Constantine performs an
exorcism, the muddled main plot kicks in. Here’s where
the film falters—there’s too much stuff going on to keep it
straight. Constantine hooks up with Angela Dodson
(Rachel Weiz, in a thankless supporting role) because
her twin sister threw herself off a roof. Then things get
needlessly complex, involving lots of scenes where
people explain things, freaky things happen, there’s
some more explanations, insert more freaky stuff, repeat
as necessary.
A sub–plot running through Constan-tine is ripped out of
Garth Ennis’ “Dangerous Habits” storyline from
Hellblazer. After smoking for almost 20 years,
Constantine is diagnosed with a fatal case of smoker’s
cough—ironic considering how after fighting evil for
years he’s done in by a pack of cigarettes. While John
fighting cancer was the main plot of “Dangerous Habits,”
in Constantine it’s more of an afterthought. (Begin plot
spoilers.) “Dangerous Habits” ended with John selling
his soul to three different demons to literally beat the
devil and cure his cancer. In Constantine, the solution is
a deus ex machina afterthought. The real kicker is that,
at the end of Constantine, John quits smoking—
something the comic character would never do. (End
spoilers.) Yes, I’m geeking out like a comic book fanboy
here. Deal with it.
There are several supporting characters that add colour
to the film, but none of them are really developed. John
has a young sidekick who does nothing but act
annoying, kind of like Short Round from Temple of
Doom. Characters like Papa Midnite (Djimon Hounsou)
and Beeman (Max Baker) are there to provide exposition
or help twist the plot along needlessly.
The best supporting character, the demon Balthazar, is
played by ex–Bush frontman, Gavin Rosedale. He’s a
real greedy fly, sucking souls for fun and snarling with
preppy menace. The final scene he has with
Constantine is a great one—John threatens to kill him,
but since Balthazar is a demon, offing him would only
send him back to Hell. Since that isn’t much of a
punishment, Constantine plays “bad cop” by threatening
to perform the Last Rites and thus send the demon to
Heaven.
It’s sequences like that which point out the film’s tragic
flaw: when its blending noir and horror together, it’s
inventive and original. The cinematography is beautiful,
elegantly merging both those styles. The problem is its
“kitchen sink” approach to the plot. Scenes work as
dislocated little exercises in filmmaking, but what you
don’t get is a coherent storyline throughout. It’s an ill–
fitting jigsaw puzzle: Funky Scene A happens, which
leads to a marginally related Funky Scene B. Why? Who
cares! It looks neat! Sit down and watch!
There have been a slew of lame horror movies
released lately. Constantine is better than most
because it’s so different. To avoid headaches, try not to
think too hard about the movie afterwards.

i liked reloaded until the end. revolutions blew ass. keanu sucks.
