(1 - 50) of 57 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   12   > Next 2.5/5 "Se queda en algún punto intermedio, un purgatorio de las cintas que no pueden ir al Infierno pero que, lo siento por la inversión, tampoco se ganan el Cielo."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez "Keanu Reeves surfs through his acting in this otherwise excellent demonic film noir."   Movie Gazette   Anton Bitel B "Let's drop the bias and negativity and cut to the chase here: Reeves is good in this role."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 3/5 "Constantine does generate some mid-level amusement and F/X interest in the epic battle it's based on, but has very little to show for it once the final credits role."   DVDTalk.com   Bill Gibron 5/10 "I'd argue that Constantine could be watched with the scenes rearranged in any order and still make sense, like episodes of The Simpsons."   Bloody Disgusting   Brian Juergens C+ "While structured like a traditional fantasy action film, Constantine only manages to be truly exciting maybe twice during the running time."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf "Doubting his mission and his faith even as he's consumed by them, Constantine is an achingly topical comic book/movie hero."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs A- "Keanu's back in black, and in a 'hell' of a fun movie… what's not to love?"   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "...painted in such broad strokes that potentially exciting context becomes little more than incessant hogwash."   Cinemaphile.org   David Keyes 3/4 "Devilishly more entertaining than it has any right to be."   Movie Boeuf   David N. Butterworth 2/4 "The storyline, despite the best efforts of everyone involved, just isn't engaging, primarily because it's so ludicrous (unreasonably so)."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 3/10 "simplified and predictable plot that uses every pseudo-religious cliche imaginable"   Draxblog Movie Reviews   Dragan Antulov 2/4 "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."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B "A good enough movie to make you forget, most of the time, how truly dreadful Reeves' stilted, monotonous delivery is."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 1/4 "Constantine waves rotted meat in front of the rabid dogs of both comic books and religion, but mostly just manages to hack off any moviegoer that enters its hallowed doors."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress B+ "At a time when big-budget movies are focus-grouped and diluted into oblivion, Constantine dares to dream."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "...a spiritually spry yet lumbering fantasy...The technological flourishes are a marvel to behold but the film’s erratic journey is as choppy as a country dirt road"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng F "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."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2.5/4 "An uneven amalgamation of the brilliant and the preposterous, Constantine left me by turns intrigued, confused, and wary."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "plays more like a bunch of vaguely realized ideas strung haphazardly together than it does as a coherent story with rhythm and purpose"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 2/5 "The Matrix meets The Exorcist (with a little Chinatown thrown in for good measure) in Keanu Reeves's just-below-okay supernatural adventure."   Netflix   James Rocchi 6/10 "The definition of a mixed bag, Constantine has the potential to both grasp your attention and lull you to complacency."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "For a film that manages to work in such an array of (real and made-up) Christian arcana, it has curiously little religious feeling."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox 7/10 "...one of this year’s cooler 'must-see' flicks for all lovers of the genre."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 7/10 "By every standard of good filmmaking, Constantine is a mess. Yet I did not find it one of those so-bad-it's-good affairs. I honestly enjoyed it."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "With Keanu Reeves as the star, it’s difficult to know who to root for."   Light Views   John Larsen 8/10 "I don’t know about the rest of you clowns, but there’s something about the whole Heaven/Hell thing that, when it’s done really well, becomes incredibly captivating."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 2/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 5/5 "."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4/5 "Groovy, sexy, well-crafted adaptation with just the right casting to make it fly when it could have sunk."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.0/4.0 "Where The Exorcist, The Prophecy, and ... Dogma have all ventured, Constantine gives the middle finger and delves into darker territory."   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 2.5/5 "The biggest problems with Constantine all seem to stem from Keanu Reeves. The problem is that Reeves really can’t act. Sorry, Keanu, but the truth hurts."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "Here’s hoping that Keanu Reeves begins to get a bit of respect with Constantine, and that Francis Lawrence doesn’t get sold short for doing a tentpole film."   FilmStew.com   Larry Carroll B- "Reeves once again bears the sins of man for heavenly good, this time with attitude"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Music video-trained director Francis Lawrence whips up a witch's brew of gray-on-gray atmosphere, but for all the end-of-the-world mumbo jumbo, nothing much ever seems to be at stake."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh "Imagine if Bosch and Dante were 21st-century geeks and they collaborated on a graphic novel... Holy crap, but there’s some imagery here that will stalk your nightmares..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/5 "[A] stylish and moody thriller that actually sort of works, despite everything that seems poised to go wrong with it."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "This is by no means a perfect movie, but it’s stylish, eerie, and better acted than you might expect. It also has at least half a brain in its head."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "It's all about the visuals and the attitude, and both are are cool and striking, reflecting its comic book origins and music video sensibilities."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Lawrence is a skilled copycat, and his adeptness at creating a mood of otherworldly unease helps make up for his story’s familiarity."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "O roteiro impede que Constantine faça jus ao interessante personagem-título."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "Slightly better than your run-of-the-mill late winter horror film."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3/5 "Slightly better than your run-of-the-mill late winter horror film."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "A stylish energy sustains this film even when it begins to drift into draggy incoherence."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline B+ "Constantine is...kinky, funny and fresh...a true Gothic action spectacular..."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte 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."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B- "The film is chock full of pleasures... perhaps too many for its own good."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B "A cut above the typical apocalyptic thrillers that rolled off the assembly line with regularity in 1999."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B- "[Constantine] has Tilda Swinton giving a marvelously androgynous turn as the angel Gabriel"   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford B- "Lawrence keeps the story on track and doesn't cheat the world of Constantine, which embraces good, evil, unforgiving judgment and the human ambiguities that offer the possibility for forgiveness."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker  (1 - 50) of 57 OFCS Rating: 53% Rotten Page   12   > Next
