It's occasionally cheesy, sometimes enjoyable, intermittently scary, and constantly spiked with celestial blatherskite. Full Review |

Though I have a soft spot for Keanu Reeves there’s no denying this is one of his worst performances... sounding dopier than usual. Full Review |

The prime conceit of the movie is its gallows humor that seeps out like clotting blood from a decomposing corpse. Full Review |

It's just sad that a movie ostensibly based on a frequently intelligent comic book should end up a no-brainer. Full Review |
||
|
|
Halfway through Constantine, a fully clad Keanu Reeves steps into a shallow pail of water, sits on a chair next to it and holds a cat in his lap. Full Review |
||
|
|
This film combines elements of comic book fantasy with horror to create an enjoyable brew - sort of a film noir version of The Exorcist, crossbred with the stylization of The Matrix. Full Review |

Peaks early, then descends into portentous nonsense. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
While decidedly no one's idea of the John Constantine of the comics (who was originally modelled on Sting), Reeves acquits himself well enough. Full Review |
||
|
|
A kind of gothic guerilla warfare, with moody demonologist John Constantine caught in between. Full Review |

|
2/5 |

Entirely beyond redemption. Full Review |

|
|
Reeves, meanwhile, has confidently entered his self-parodic period. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
While lacking the richness of its source material, it remains an enjoyable, immoral and sometimes beautifully Gothic tale. Full Review |
||
|
2/4 |
A little too muddled and erratically paced to command much interest. While some of the effects are cleverly worked-up, the picture seems more often to be on CGI autopilot. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Slightly better than your run-of-the-mill late winter horror film. Full Review |

|
|
Virtually anyone but Reeves would have made a better John Constantine. Full Review |
