Rotten:113

Average Rating:5.5/10

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]

An achievement of both story and technique, Constantine is one of the finest comic-based films ever made.

Keanu's back in black, and in a 'hell' of a fun movie… what's not to love?

Apocalyptically awful, End of Days bad, The Order bad, Lost Souls bad. Religiously it's blasphemous, but as a movie it's just plain lousy.

Once you let yourself fall into its rising hellfire, you'll get caught up in its thrilling storyline, ominous ambiance, and wild and weird action sequences

This isn't the hell that just kinda sucks. This is the Hell that puts fear in your heart and makes you want to head to church directly after leaving the theater.

Constantine is a pretentiously muddled, emotionally hollow, nonsensical film about Catholic angst, and a cancer-ridden hero who’s been to hell and back.

It has the grace of a tumble off a ladder.

Good-looking, but decidedly hollow. Misses the opportunity to explore its evocative central conceits by attempting to do too many other things at once, and failing.

I believe in Satan, Hell, demons walking the Earth, and Keanu Reeves as a cancer-ridden exorcist. Stay until after the credits for a denouement.

The idea of a guy trying to buy his way into heaven is good, but this movie doesn’t take it anywhere other than the usual set of world saving scenarios.

One of those rare pulpy page-to-screen translations that actually gets it right.

There may be a special room in Hell for such filmmakers, but it’s the audience that suffers the agonies of the damned by having to sit through it.
