How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:75

Fresh:26

Rotten:49

Average Rating:3.8/10

Consensus: Despite solid production values and an intriguing premise, Constantine lacks the focus of another spiritual shoot-em-up, The Matrix.

Runtime: 2 hrs 1 min

Genre: Action/Adventure

US Box Office: $75,500,759

Synopsis: John Constantine has been to hell and back. Born with a gift he didn't want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine... John Constantine has been to hell and back. Born with a gift he didn't want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine (KEANU REEVES) was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. But he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way to salvation by sending the devil's foot soldiers back to the depths. But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he's a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroism. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn't want your admiration or your thanks – and certainly not your sympathy. -- © Warner Bros. [More]

...maybe I'm just the only person on the planet who thought it was a comedy and enjoyed its whimsy. (Blu-ray Edition)

I don't know if Warner should be applauded or chastised for greenlighting a film where the "hero" is a chain-smoking exorcist who is doomed to go to hell.
