TV & Movie Reviews: Constantine (2005)

The Constantine movie came out in 2005 and was loosely based on the Hellblazer Vertigo comic book. The name was changed from Hellblazer to Constantine to avoid any confusion with the Hellraiser movies. The movie was directed by Francis Lawrence and starred Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, Peter Stormare and Tilda Swinton. Borrowing significantly from the Garth Ennis Dangerous Habits story arc while making a significant number of artistic changes, we discuss our thoughts and how well this movie holds up today.
