Days are seared by burning sunlight, nights swallow the world and bring out the demons, and Hell is an Earth burning in the nuclear fires of Armageddon.

For better and worse, it feels more like a middle chapter that throws you into this ambitious world, making you wish you could have spent more time in this world to get your footing and see where this narrative could had led.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 20, 2023

A handful of scenes depicting the high temperatures on the devil's home turf are plausibly horrific, but the rest barely registers.

Constantine deserves a cult following and should be remembered for all the things it did right instead of its perceived wrongs.

Keanu Reeves seems to be trapped in the Matrix.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 28, 2020

Most of the script consists of speeches explaining too many intricate rules of supernatural battles between good and evil. Even the cast seems bored.

Full Review | Original Score: D | Nov 18, 2019

Constantine works by using Hellblazer as a jumping-off point...it creates a moody piece of modern, metaphysical noir.

Full Review | Jun 3, 2019

Constantine gives the impression of somber shadows, but it's too dingily distracting to leave a bleak impression.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2018

It's Keanu's offbeat humor and subtle sensitivity that prevent John Constantine from becoming an angsty, chain-smoking, grimly macho cliché.

John Wick: Book of Revelation as Constantine dispatches demons amid dark rainy streets, visiting Papa Midnite's neutral bar where no business can be conducted between angels and demons. Reeves is brilliantly weary; Swinton's Gabriel briskly unsympathetic.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 11, 2018

The complicated narrative and countless supporting characters from the comic are boiled down into the key elements that make CONSTANTINE an excellent standalone story and a perfect introduction to what should have been a long-running series.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Oct 18, 2018

It all plays out the way you'd expect, the balance is tipped, something bad is coming, woman in danger, last minute rescue.

Visuals and attitude -- not for kids.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

An enjoyable revelation.

A very satisfying film.

Full Review | Apr 29, 2009

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

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Apr 18, 2009

Blazes few new trails and bogs down in a confusing narrative muddle.

Full Review | Oct 18, 2008

Rachel Weisz gives it her best shot, but she can't save the messy script from its own feelings self-importance.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Oct 18, 2008

I deeply loathe the Heaven-and-Hell genre to which this cinematic comic-book spectacular belongs.

Full Review | Oct 18, 2008

It's just sad that a movie ostensibly based on a frequently intelligent comic book should end up a no-brainer.
