Shakezulah

AliceCoopersGirl

Are you serious? You're afraid to be afraid?

Man, I'd love to scare you... devil.gif

This movie looks really good,... I have to agree with hereticdude above that a good portion of the horror movies that have been released recently havent really been scary.. but this one doesnt look as scary as it looks morbid... and some morbid things are pretty freaky
AffinityForEvil
I also agree. The movie looks like it will be deeply based in the Ocult also, that should be great.
Mad Manfred
Meh. CGI and ghost movies don't mix.

And Keanu seems to be playing his same hollowed out cut-out copy he played in the Matrix movies. This guy has got to be one of the most overrated actors in history...thanks to some pretty computer images and a girly trenchcoat.

I agree with you Mad Manfred...I think he is way to overrated as well.

The Hellblazer comics(which the film is based on)are a bit dark and it is not really what I would class as a horror.


Parallax
I am a huge DC Comics/Vertigo fan. I am already disappointed in this movie.


Keanu sucks.
His wardrobe bites.
He's American.
The above statement thus means NO NEWCASTLE INCIDENT. The central moment in Hellblazer history.
Bad storyline to make into a movie for people who aren't familiar with the comics.

No.

Bad storyline to make Constantine a cheap knock-off of a cheap knock-off (Matrix).
Parallax
I meant they're doing the storyline where John finds out he has developed lung cancer and he goes through this whole thing of making deals with devils so he doesn't have to go to Hell, but ends up screwing the guys in Hell out of it.

Im with you 100% hun...I think its going to be really disappointing.Wish it was someone playing him.
Monkyburd
Visually it looks stunning! w00t.gif I'll go to see that at least.

Remember that Warner Brothers are making this too, and are probably trying to win back the same crowd from the massive failure that was Matrix two and three...
lightbeyondthedark
Well it comes out today...
I am going to see it in 3 hours... I will tell everyone if I liked it or not when get back...

Oh yeah, I get to see it in a Digital Projection theatre too.. so thats cool...

I saw the previews for this, first thing I said to my sister when I saw Reeves sitting in his chair;

"Not ANOTHER Matrix movie..."

Naw, it looks okay, another thing that seems to Matrix-y, just put in a different place. Grrrrrr. I bet they have lots of slow-mo in this one, too.
Spikester2488
I am gonna watch the movie pretty soon so it better be good. mellow.gif

ugh, I saw this piece of crap. it sucked. not even much action. it was just retarded.
Super Pancake
Saw it last night, I turned a blind eye to the hype, the tired story line, and Keanu Reeves and it still sucked big balls, it blows, go see it only if you like cg and keanu. The fight scenes are nice though, if you like action constantine brings it especially the end, but I don‘t get why it‘s rated R it‘s pretty tame, not much gore. The logic of the film just so stretched and confusing (you had to pay attention to get the plot) it made me feel dumb that I almost liked it, but what killed it for me is half the movie Keanu is with that cop girl whoever she is and it slows the movie way down. the movie started out great but they had to try and give a twist to it by bringing a tough on the outside chick but is made out of candy and teddy bears on the inside who is stupid and clueless so the main character has to stop just to explain to her what’s going on. All the other characters were so cool (especially gabriel and the hennessey guy) except for her. I would of loved it if was just kick ass non stop action through the whole movie.

hope I did not spoil it for anybody
lightbeyondthedark
it was ok...
Not the best, not the worst...

out of a possible 10 stars, I would give it 7...

The Skeptic Eric Raven
I did not expect much from, but I ended up really liking it. His journeys into hell were very neat. I would see it again.

Hey Hey Hey... Just one second...
This is off topic, but what the hell is wrong with being American? angry.gif

pfft! so much fake religious crap in that piece of poo. I hated that movie. If I never see it again it'll be too soon disgust.gif
JackBauer
I just saw it and i actually enjoyed it. I like almost every movie I see as long as I understand it, and i understood it well enough, so to me, it was pretty good.
Tia
I'll probably go see it in the next week.

Thats what I thought too. I saw it on Friday but as bad as I figured they'd slaughter it, I didnt think it was that bad. I actually enjoyed it. I do think it would've been a lot better if it had been in London (not fricken LA) he had been British, and it wasnt Keanu Reeves.
Shakezulah
i saw the movie yesterday. i really enjoyed it. it was very cool. Keanu seemed to act better than i thought he would. good story line, good effects, good violence...although it could have had a little more action, i guess it just wasnt that type of movie, but i still really liked it. some of the demons were so freakin cool lookin. anyways, it was a good movie and anyone who didnt like it doesnt know a good movie when they see one.
Graylady
Ok overall this is one hell of a movie...It reminds me of exorcist...

Someone plzz explain this part..

Devil try to take cons' back to hell but suddenly devil could not pulled him anymore and then cons' started to float in heaven and then devil hold him with his two hands and pulled out his cancer... dontgetit.gif

now what in the world was happening...?

The devil pulled the cancer out so he would not die. The idea was that if he lived longer he would damn himself again.

Thank you for clearing that up... I was sort of wondering what that was all about too.

Other then that, good movie.
fearfulone
i thought, by far, this was the worst movie ever. The story was not written well, there wasn't enough action scenes (which i think the previews lead you to believe) and the ending was childish at best....
Super Pancake
Well after watching this craptastic movie the end was'nt that bad I was happy it was finally over.

I was being sarcastic


spoiler Alert







but anyway are talking about the very end after the credits, Becasue I thought it was confusing

Why did Chad have wings was was he a half breed or when you die you get wings, or when you die you become an angel in spirit . I don't get it.

[Might contain spoilers]


I guess to answer your question without going into detail is, John gave his life, which is sacrifice and he was accepted into Heaven. That's why Lucifer whispered, "The Sacrifice" because that's how someone would, apparently, be accepted into Heaven.

The reason why Lucifer didn't want him to go is because he's been wanting John for about 20 years.

The reason why he pulled out his "cancer" was so that John would live longer instead of going into Heaven. And by doing that, John would have to live on earth for as long as it takes...

I hope this answered your questioning.

Finally got to watch it yesterday, but didn't see past the end of the movie. What was the extra bit?

Anyway, I didn't mind the movie never having seen the comics I had to pay attention to work the storyline out. Great special effects. grin2.gif

John visites Chaz’s gravestone. He leaves his ornamented lighter on top of the stone as he sees Chaz in angel form pause on top of his grave before flying up.

I asked this queastion about it.
