Constantine

Tools    





I wouldn't compare this to daredevil, while daredevil had its moments It just didn't work for me, plus I hate afleck. Constantines cg was so much better, not to mention the gore. It has the perfect action movie flow to it, about the alternate ending, I believe they are working on a sequel as we speak, I think the ending was perfect in that case.



I finally saw it today.



What a waste of time.

Word. I Don't see what the big fuss is about this one.

You have to be kidding me.....I saw it the other night and I loved it. I give Constantine a
. I am gonna catch it again.



I think that rating is fair, did you also write a review for it? I'd be interested in reading that.

I saw Constantine twice and i'm psyched for a sequel, it could be a really cool saga, maybe a little astray from the comic. But who knows, maybe they make the sequel even more like the comic and maybe even call it Constantine 2:Hellblazer or something, I know that would please the comic fans in some aspects.

or even better, they'll make at last a Lucifer movie!
yes, that's another great Vertigo comicbook that's been around for a while now.

Yea hopefully they get the ball rolling and pump out some more awsome vertigo movies, Constantine was a perfect start for them, and the fact that was the directors first movie I think he did an outstanding job.



what was at the end of the credits?

Hehe


All I shall tell you is this, the special ending opens up a vague but pretty good possibility for a sequel, and also has to do with him quitting smoking (but i bet he'll start back up again in the sequel )

Yeah, but it makes sense if you think about it, imagine if you saw what your lungs looked like after a lifetime of smoking, he was probably just temporarily shocked by the experience.

oh but i do........., although, okay, it's not been more than 22 years for me. and 20 cigs a day is not so much, is it?
/



well i knoe what the special ending is and frankly im kinda glad they didnt use it.



20 cigs a day? phew, I dunno if that tops john constantine but thats still alot, lol, john constantine as a non smoker would be weird too, but as long as he still had the attitude it might be cool.



i'm so mad that they didnt stick to the source...
i had really high hopes for Constantine but Lawrence was definitly not the right guy to direct this movie...


btw i know people that smoke 2-3 packs a day and they are still fine i wonder for how long tho...



I think lawrence made out ok for his first movie, he definatly read up on cinematography and got all the special effects done well within the budget.

Hey I saw this movie not to long ago and thought it was excellent, I read a couple of the Hellblazer comics when I was younger but that was a while back. They changed a few things yeah but overall it still has the feel of the comic and that's what's most important. I love how dark they made it, an adult comic translated into an adult film who would have thought it . Joking aside though more comic translations need to be like Constantine.
