Early Constantine Reviews
Joblo was lucky enough to receive not one, but two early reviews for Constantine
starring Rachel Weisz and Keanu Reeves. The best part about these reviews,
from 'MadsenOMC' and 'Hank Scorpio,' is that they are pretty in-depth [but
few spoilers] and very positive. Check out a few snippets from the Constantine
movie reviews down below:
From Hank
" What if I told you God and the Devil made a wager for the souls of
all mankind?” – John Constantine
Why would He do something like that? That doesn’t sound like Him. Nevertheless, this is the core idea Constantine is based on, that God and Lucifer are on opposite sides with Earth as a neutral zone. Man is regularly influenced, pulled in different directions, but with no direct contact from either side. “The détente of the original Superpowers,” as the film refers to it. In the middle of this supernatural game of checkers stands a lone, weary, warrior, John Constantine (Keanu Reeves), a rude, chain-smoking, meddler in the occult, who has spent his entire adult life hunting down “halfbreeds,” demons from Hell who have gained more then their fair share of influence on Earth, and forcing them back to where they came from.
From MadsenOMC
Knowing absolutely nothing about the Hellblazer comic book, I didn't know exactly what to expect with Constantine. The trailer made it look moderately intriguing and I'm fond of stories that have religious undertones and deal with faith, good and evil. So I took my seat, crossed my fingers, opened my bad of candy and hoped for the best.
Constantine begins in Mexico. Two men are digging, for what I'm not sure, and one of them steps through some boards buried under the dirt and stumbles upon some sort of a dagger. Immediately prior to this, we have been told that a specific sword holds the key to controlling mankind, and that it's been missing since WWII. It's not hard to put two and two together.
Then we are introduced to John Constantine. A priest (Pruitt Taylor Vince) calls him to save a young girl who is possessed by something. John performs an exorcism on her, which fails. Surprised, he asks for a mirror at least three feet tall. He chants and brings a "soldier demon" out of the girl. The demon is sucked into the mirror, which Constantine throws out the window, destroying it.
