Entertaining and nice way of adapting the good vs evil scenario. Love the John Constantine character. Wish they would make a sequel. 8/10
Okay, it's very complicated for me to rate or review this movie. This movie has very many flaws. It's not a 'i-want-to-be-loved-by-anyone'- Movie. But I like it and its over-the-top ideas a lot.
If i had to make a Pro-Con-List, the Con Part would be large. The good ideas safes it. A what the hell...here is my Pro-Con-List:
++ Keanu Reeves often fits the tough Guy Attitude (Even if he is not that Jason Statham-Type)
++ Rachel Weisz, Constantines Friends, Tilda Swinton and even LaBeouf are good
++ The Ending + Showdown - This is one of my Favorite Movie Endings. Badas as f**k
-- Too often you think the Director and his Writers were saying: 'Yeah, that's ok. But(!) what if we make it 10 Times bigger ?". They want top at far too often.
-- Script, Story, Plotholes. Way to often they do the same thing to make a "cool looking scene".
Okay the Con list is not that big, but i don't want to spoil anything.
8/10
Impressive. Maybe a bit too much like a Shyamalan movie, but this had better delivery, which is saying a great deal, and is still very original. Its previews did not do it justice. The movie seems as if it doesn't feel obligated to shock or impress you, but rather draw you in to the story, invest you in the characters, then turn on the afterburners. With an epic final few seconds. In other words, a smart, emotional, well-done movie that ranks as one of the best, in at least the past few years.
