Why do so many people dislike Constantine ? - GoFuckYourself.com

luv$ · 04-24-2006, 08:56 AM

I thought the movie was amazing.

The concept was great, the writing was great, the cinematography was spectacular, the effects were very well done and the story was surprisingly tight considering the subject matter.

Yet so many people say they hate it, and when asked why, noone can ever really give me a reason why...

SomeCreep · 04-24-2006, 08:59 AM

I thought it was a good movie.

Donny · 04-24-2006, 09:00 AM

Maybe it scares them.

I liked it.

Tapaz · 04-24-2006, 09:00 AM

shit I love that comic!!

Fetish Gimp · 04-24-2006, 09:01 AM

Read "Hellblazer" and you'll know why some people, usually fans of the comic, disliked it.

garce · 04-24-2006, 09:01 AM

I wondered that, too. I liked it.

BlackCrayon · 04-24-2006, 09:02 AM

i never saw it but people seemed to think the movie was too religious i guess.

The Truth Hurts · 04-24-2006, 09:03 AM

i liked it as well, but Keanu can't act for fucking shit.

jacked · 04-24-2006, 09:05 AM

seemed like they brought the matrix and the devils advocate together i dunno keanu isn't that great of an actor

I'm aware of the differences personally, which I think were inconsequential if you look at the two as different mediums...

and a lot of people I'm referring to don't know anything about the books. They're basing their opinions strictly on the movie.

tyler. · 04-24-2006, 09:15 AM

I liked the movie overall , it has some nice CG

Dirty F · 04-24-2006, 09:16 AM

Great movie.

v4 media · 04-24-2006, 09:16 AM

Great film.. but the comics are far better.

mrkris · 04-24-2006, 09:21 AM

I own the movie and think it's kickass.

Warning Pages · 04-24-2006, 09:24 AM

I liked it especially when the mexican got smacked by the car in the begining!!

DaddyHalbucks · 04-24-2006, 09:24 AM

I haven't seen it. I'll have to get it.

Pete-KT · 04-24-2006, 09:29 AM

its a badass movie

majorbitch · 04-24-2006, 10:03 AM

It was alright.. I just didn't like Keanu in it =|

StuartD · 04-24-2006, 10:05 AM

Many people dislike Keanu... then there are some who just don't like Keanu because they're told to not like Keanu by their peers...

and as a result, they end up hating any movie that Keanu does just because he's in it.

Rictor · 04-24-2006, 10:06 AM

It was okay I suppose, but the comic book is a 1,000 times better.

Wiggles · 04-24-2006, 10:29 AM

i thought it was very entertaining, its no oscar nominee or anything but it was entertaining, hard to find anything entertainign anymore.

fuzebox · 04-24-2006, 11:05 AM

I loved it, of course its going to have cheesy parts and brutal monologues by Keanu, but big deal... Plus I always enjoy movies about catholicism, exorcism, etc...

Fresh · 04-24-2006, 11:09 AM

i thought it was pretty damn good myself

Phoenix · 04-24-2006, 11:11 AM

i dont know if ive seen it or not

worth checking out though

Elli · 04-24-2006, 11:31 AM

Keanu.

"Dude, I've got a full-on robot chubby!"

Duuuuude.

I thought it was great to, I think people judge before they experiance things most of the time.

vvq · 04-24-2006, 12:02 PM

one of my favorite movies.

RuthB · 04-24-2006, 12:06 PM

why did he have to have black hair?

John Constantine has blonde hair, chain smokes and has a wonderful british attitude ;)

I didn't mind the movie, thought it was okay, but I agree with the others in here who say the comic is a thousand times better. More meat, more substance, and honestly I think if they'd captured more of Constantine's comic character then it would've worked a lot better.

Keanu is almost too 'clean/pretty' for that role in a way. Didn't quite capture the hardness of the character imo.

madawgz · 04-24-2006, 12:09 PM

aww cmon, it was a great movie!

elitetec · 04-24-2006, 12:29 PM

I like it

Chichio · 04-24-2006, 12:31 PM

I thought the visuals were great but the movie was slightly cheesey. Like the "god gun" and the "god brass knuckels," those were stupid. I actually started laughing out-loud when he pulled those out.

G-Rotica · 04-24-2006, 12:34 PM

it was ok, not great, but not totally bad either. Just ok.

I share the same opnion.

Different concept for a movie, interesting to watch... that's it.

reynold · 04-24-2006, 09:36 PM

maybe those who hate it are fans of the comic book who were disappointed with the film adaptation
