Disagree on the show. It's not gritty enough. The only thing I like better about the show is they did a much better job making the main actor look like Constantine, but Keanu plays the part a million times better so I'll take that trade-off. Other than the name, almost nothing about Keanu's performance has anything in common with the comic book character at all. I'm not actually entirely against the movie, and I liked Tilda Swinton in her role, but if I was actually a fan of the original comics and wanted anything resembling the original character, story, or setting, I would have loathed it. It feels like someone read an issue or two of Hellblazer once, then that person tried to explain what they read to someone else, who decided to make a movie about what they thought the book was about. Something about some guy named Constantine who did magic or something? Also, something something Satan something soul something lung cancer something? Though it probably doesn't help that they deliberately chose to focus on Garth Ennis' run on the comic for the plot of the movie, because in general I consider almost all of Garth Ennis' work to be absolute shit. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
