Aims forced me to watch Constantine last night. I kinda loved it. Now I need to strap her down and get her to watch Sunshine before Monday.

I think "this was not the movie I expected or wanted" can be a legitimate criticism. Everybody has his or her own reasons for liking or disliking things, and that one's as good as any.

"They changed it now it sucks," on the other hand, is not a legitimate criticism. There's gotta be a "because" in there someplace.

Yeah, imagine the outcry if they made a movie about an American superhero like Batman and the entire cast was British except for Katie Holmes and Morgan Freeman!   Oh, wait...

Fine, to be completely accurate the cast of Batman Begins is mostly from the UK... "British" excludes Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson.   But anyway.

It's a tricky thing, adapting a work from another medium into a movie - it's entirely possible to keep all the wrong parts and lose the important ones, we can all cite examples of that.   

But I can't see how being blond and British would have made any significant difference to the Constantine character.   Maybe it mattered in some way in the comic, but it didn't matter at all to the story the movie was telling.   

Besides, it was Keanu's signing on to the movie that got it greenlit, it wouldn't have existed without him.   Watching Keanu walk around with bleached hair would have been a major distraction, and his attempt at a British accent in Coppola's Dracula is still being talked about so it was a good call that he didn't try that again.

Well, to be fair, they ruined it eventually.

It's always only a matter of time.

Thanks, Entropy!

*thumbs up!*

What's wrong with Shia? The scene I loaded up to test if my video worked was a Shia scene, and that's what got me excited about watching the movie.

Constantine has a few scenes that are exemplary of Boufing.

Alright so I just finished rewatching Constantine, and man did I not watch that the first time. Maybe it was the fact that I was like 13 at the time, whatever.

But I really really liked it. Honestly it's like you guys are always saying, Keanu can do Keanu and I really like Keanu in this role, same goes for Shia actually. I thought it worked perfectly.

And of course Tilda Swinton was gorgeously sexy as ever.

Also does anyone know any other movies/books/comics whatever, along this same vein (God, demons, angels etc.) Cause I really love the shit out of this kinda stuff and I only had Supernatural before this, and I really want to find more like it.
