Today in Atlanta (and probably many other places), there was a pre-screening of Constantine. I went, and I really enjoyed it. Those of you who have read my other posts here know that I'm a bit of a hard viewer to please with fantasy and sci-fi movies, so let me start off and say this movie was really good. I was very entertained, and I was not disappointed with anything in the movie until my friends and I started talking about the differences from the comic.
Constantine is best viewed by those who have not read Hellblazer. The comic is very different, and many details have been changed to make the movie be more mainstream. This does not hurt the movie at all, but it might make a few Hellblazer fans disappointed. You should see Constantine, then read the comic.
Expect stiff acting, akin to a noir detective film. Expect well-done special effects. And most importantly, expect amusing interactions between characters for whom magic is a reality. It's fun, and I intend to pay to see it when it finally comes out in a week and a half.
I found it amusing that the pre-screening came the day before Lent.
If anyone wants to read spoilers, just let me know.
