The best part of the movie was when Keanu was leaving for heaven floating in the sky and flicking satin off. The whole theater laughed. :lol

I actually did see the movie last nite... but didn't stick around for the extra scene. Anyone care to say what it was?

I too would like to know this.

The movie felt like it was 4 hours long(and not a good 4 hours). The pacing or whatever wasnt very good. I liked the movie overall though, and the last 20 minutes were awesome.

Better then i thought it was going to be.

The R rating was a mistake though, not that it didnt deserve it but rather it didnt need it. Nothing in it, other then 2 or 3 unecessary "fucks" were worthy of an R rating. Its not very dark, the suicide scene was tame, and its not THAT relgious, at least not enough to give it any type of R rating. I dont get it. It could have been Pg-13 and it probably would have made more money.

Peter Stormare can do no wrong.

As for the movie, it was pretty good overall but

everything seemed to get solved and fixed before there was any real sense of danger

. I wanted hell to break loose on earth.

According to the Bible. Hell will break loose on the world. Kicked off by God (the son of the Father, the Son of Man aka Jesus Christ), himself. He will be riding a great white horse as one of the 4 Horsemen, and 7 Angles will bring it (fire and brimstone) on Satan's kingdom established on earth. The Bible is scary, but life-saving at the same time. God, the Father, did it before when he released the Flood.

I seen Constatine today, too. And, I wonder why Gaberial (the Arch Angel, God the Father's right-hand man before Jesus Christ was created) always fall out of God's grace in movies human-beings make?

I want to see a movie about the war in heaven. When I meet God, I want him to tell/show me the story.

The Bible calls Heaven God's throne, and the earth his foot-stool. Heaven on Earth is what we have or will have after the 4 Horsemen and the 7 Angles letting loose. Has it already happened? God has been here since the start.

What I didn't understand why was Constatine allowed to be pulled back by the devil when God was raising him up to be let in heaven. The devil said to Constatine, "you will live so Heaven can recongize you belong in hell". God forgave Constatine for killing himself TWICE. Whenever he dies he is going to heaven.

Satan cured Constantine of his lung cancer and brought him back to life out of the hope that Constantine would fuck up again in the future.

Any movie dealing with angels or demons with the tone that Contantine had is pretty much an instant R as far as the MPAA is concerned.

Not very good, but not that bad either. The very definition of a "decent" movie - some good parts and a few things they could have done better but I was happy enough with it.

Gaberial explained, all you have to do is replent.

Replent huh? I hope you mean repent.

I've seen it 2 times now and it's quite good. I got more of the overtones and themes that the director put in there.


Here's a hint. Time.

Are you referring to the Battle of Armaggeddon?

I don't think the battle in Heaven was physical...I think it was more or less...an extreme, intense verbal debate. I mean, God could have just zapped Satan (Lucifer) out of existence, but that would have been no fun, and would have damaged the angels' concept of God who stayed on His side. They would have worshipped Him out of fear, rather than love.

Constantine was boring and forgettable. Stale characters, poor pacing, and silly special effects.

Some parts of the movie were entertaining. The

And I had to laugh that

I really liked this film despite it having the infamous Mr. Reeves in the title role. Of course, though I'm highly unreligious I'm a sucker for religious-themed films that approach the material like this in a sort of "conspiracy-esque" vein (hence my penchant for all the Holy Grail conspiracy theories and whatnot).

Gabriel kicked all kinds of ass too.

 

[DJ Sl4m]

It's not that the movie was bad per say, but it just seemed like a movie we've all seen before.

Like another typical movie where Keanu is the savior of the world with the all important choice to be made.

Not bad, just seemed a lil too "deja vu" for me, reminded me of a hybrid mixture of Blade and The Devil's Advocate.
