I had no idea this was going on, but I guess the
film Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves, has been doing a lot of
screenings of late and have had viewers leaving with less than honorary
reviews.
Early Constantine Reviews
The people who have seen Constantine, starring Keanu Reeves and
Rachel Weisz, seem to enjoy sending their early thoughts to the good people
over at TheMovieHole. While the reviews are mixed, I feel a lot of disappointment
with the film. Here are a couple snippets:
Which leads to the next glaring problem, which is the fact that you don't really give a crap about his character. His character is really an asshole that does not treat people well and abuses himself to the point of death. The funny part of all of this (and the part that make absolutely no sense once you really think about it) is that he wants redemption and is willing to put himself in jeopardy in order to secure a spot for him in heaven, despite the fact that he still does not treat himself or others well
The twist in the ending is pretty inventive but typical when it involves the lead character doing something noble for a change.
To put it all in perspective. It's decent for what it is but with Keanu playing a character as befuddled as he is as an actor, the movie is only held together by the great performance of Rachel Weisz and a few good scares that are few and far between.

I have recently lowered the 'Hype Meter' for the film by half a can due
to these early screenings. However, I still think the premise behind the
film is very unique and that can take Constantine a long way. For
