What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Since the various goings-on are abnormal, puzzling, metaphysical, and embellished by dated computer graphics, it’s difficult to get too wrapped up in the plot. Go to Full Review

Constantine resembles nothing so much as a punctured tire with a slow leak, letting all the air seep out until what’s finally left is flat and fairly ineffectual. Go to Full Review

The Angel Gabriel and Satan are some of the best depictions of well-known Bible characters that I’ve ever seen on screen... A breath of fresh air in today’s hyper-cookie-cutter style comic book movie world. Go to Full Review

Jason R @JasonLovesMoviesForever 1h Keanu Reeves kills it in this performance! Although it is no biblically accurate in many ways it is still an enjoyable movie to watch, See more Matthew D @OceanSage 2d Keanu Reeves gives us his best Clint Eastwood as his tough guy exorcist John Constantine. Director Francis Lawrence’s superhero horror mystery Constantine (2005) is still a blast. I’ve always had fun with this dark and dreary neo-noir style mystery with angels and demons. It’s not really accurate to the comic books, but this is a very cool and bleak picture that is endlessly entertaining. Keanu Reeves is awesome as the brooding, sarcastic, and determined exorcist detective John Constantine. Reeves is so intense and immensely entertaining. Rachel Weisz is insanely sexy and sympathetic as the LAPD detective Angela Dodson. She is very amusing as a chipper lady opposite Keanu’s sullen cynic Constantine. Tilda Swinton is excellent as the Archangel Gabriel with a chip on her shoulder. Peter Stormare steals the entire finale as Lucifer himself. His creepy portrayal of The Devil is iconic and highly amusing. Constantine still rules for Keanu Reeves’ awesome portrayal of John Constantine. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 12 The movie is still very good, with incredible visual effects and perhaps the best portrayal of the Devil I’ve ever seen in a series or movie. It’s very entertaining to watch; I definitely recommend it. (Esta em inglês por causa da ia que controla) See more Bryan A @Timmaryturner Jul 10 Constantine (2005) is a supernatural horror film starring Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical demon hunter who can see half-angels and half-demons, trying to earn his way into heaven by sending demons back to hell. He teams up with a skeptical detective (Rachel Weisz) to investigate her sister's death, uncovering a plot involving both angelic and demonic forces trying to break into the human world. Directed by Francis Lawrence, the film is based on the DC/Vertigo Hellblazer comics but changes the character's origin and setting from London to Los Angeles. Key aspects Plot: Constantine helps Detective Angela Dodson investigate her twin sister's apparent suicide, leading them into a war between heaven and hell. Cast: Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Tilda Swinton, Djimon Hounsou, and Peter Stormare. Director: Francis Lawrence (his directorial debut). Source material: Loosely based on the Hellblazer comic book series. Genre: Action, fantasy, horror, superhero. Rating See more Sabih A @RT57875922 Jul 1 The Man who told Heaven: "No", but did he regret it? I was recommended to watch this movie for a long time, now I think I can see what the praise is for. I suppose it would also make sense why a demand for a sequel would be high. Because well we want to see more, it's like watching Avatar (2009) and being told we'll never this world ever again (good thing we did get a sequel{s}). Keanu Reeves does great as John, the story overall, as in: The plot, writing, pacing, and overall lore was very well executed. Somehow the CGI in this film as well was so well executed. I won't spoil anything in particular but the all the demons looked very good for a 2005 movie. I had a good time with the story John went on here, and it had some pretty good sort of hype moments as well. I don't really have much to add on from here. In Short: A Dark Horse that managed to be a near masterful. See more Ben W @Username618 Jun 30 Liked the light in the darkness scene; disliked the overcoming smoking plot-line.
