Constantine

[ksmith]

Just watched Constantine. Well, most of it--missed the first hour because of Countdown, but caught the rest.

What a wonderfully whacked film. I remember Keanu Reeves receiving poor reviews, but I thought he was fine. Ok, he's a rangy brunet, so I'm biased, but I still thought he was fine. Tilda Swinton's Gabriel was riveting. Peter Stormare's Satan. I want to rent it to see what I missed.

I'm a huge Hellblazer fan. As soon as I heard Reeves had been cast as Constantine, my expectations became that it would resemble the comics in name only. I wound up being pleasantly surprised (if you can call anything about that movie pleasant) by how much of the tone and visual style they got right. And Tilda Swinton ... wow. She always knocks my socks off.
