John Constantine has been to hell and back.
Born with a gift he didn't want, the ability to clearly recognize the half-breed angels and demons that walk the earth in human skin, Constantine was driven to take his own life to escape the tormenting clarity of his vision. but he failed. Resuscitated against his will, he found himself cast back into the land of the living. Now, marked as an attempted suicide with a temporary lease on life, he patrols the earthly border between heaven and hell, hoping in vain to earn his way back to salvation by sending the devil's foot soldiers back to the depths.
But Constantine is no saint. Disillusioned by the world around him and at odds with the one beyond, he's a hard-drinking, hard-living bitter hero who scorns the very idea of heroisn. Constantine will fight to save your soul but he doesn't want your admiration or your thanks - and certainly not your sympathy.
All he wants is a reprieve.
When a desperate but skeptical police detective enlists his help in solving the mysterious death of her beloved twin sister, their investigation takes them through the world of demons and angels that exists just beneath the landscape of contemporary Los Angeles. Caught in a catastrophic series of otherworldly events, the two become inextricably involved and seek to find their own peace at whatever cost.

This movie was great.. though it surprises me that there are actually SOME reviewers out there who think this movie was a 'major disappointment'... I mean.. What the hell? what kind of standard are you using there to review the movie!?

OK first off.. the story... It was great... Really enjoyable, interesting and not to difficult to understand.
It's really creative... all of these.. heaven and hell... Angels and demons... etc and etc...
And even the appearance of Satan himself... nicely portrayed! Peter Stormare did an excellent job, I must say...

Speaking of which.. the characters... I really find John Constantine himself very very likable...
probably my favorite character in the whole movie.. besides Satan and of course, Gabriel's cool hairstyle.. haha!
Besides the main few characters... the other characters were cool too! Like the extra demons and angels we see along the way...


Visual effects are cool too... especially the look of 'Hell'...
However.. there was ONE particular scene.. where everything started to look like a scene from the game, Resident Evil or Silent Hill...
I mean, you looking over your character and using a shotgun to shoot the zombies or monsters that are coming at you...
yeah... there was one scene where John starts blasting away at some demons... somewhere near the end... that's where it looked like that... though only for a brief moment...

Characters were excellent and interesting... the humor was good, laughable and not corny *coughHimalayaSinghcoughcough*... Visual was great... Story was amazingly amusing...
I don't see why you shouldn't go and watch this movie...

"Heaven and hell are right here, behind every wall, behind every window, the world behind the world. And we're smack in the middle."
