Afro Droid Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Fucking shit. It bears no resemblance to Hellblazer at all, more like feature length episode of Buffy the cocking Vampire SlayerI could have made a Hellblazer movie at least a hundred times better with 10% of Constantine's budget, because I actually like the source material. It would be creepy and subtle and Sean Bean would be John Constantine, because he's actually an englishman who smokes a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaline Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I thought it was pretty good, fair enough, not much like the graphic novels but i still liked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 it's almost exactly the same as that particular story in the novels though. with a couple of slight embellishments. i thought it was really good even with keanu reeves wooden acting. but hey, i'm a big buffy fan.

rhino Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I agree with the general feeling here, i've not actually read the graphic novels, but to me the whole film just didnt make much sense... well i did make sense but just didnt have a point!

Afro Droid Posted July 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 it's almost exactly the same as that particular story in the novels though. with a couple of slight embellishments. I just felt it completely failed to capture all the stuff that's great about the books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fli$ Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Certain bits of it made it just seem really cheesy...Like when whatshisface from Bush says "fingerlickin good" and the bit at the end where he pop some nicotine gum into his mouth instead of a cigarette. You'd have thought also that the 'spear of destiny' might have been a bit more difficult to find. And it dragged at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have thought also that the 'spear of destiny' might have been a bit more difficult to find. And it dragged at the end.Gavin Rossdale was painful to watch, and very greasy looking. The archangel gabriel was even more painful to watch, yet not so greasy. The lesser of two evils, perhaps. I do remember thinking it was okay though, and there were some cool bits although I don't actually remember what they were. Matrixy bits. I was particularly annoyed by the wrist slashing faux pas YOU CAN'T HOLD A BLOODY FAG IF YOUR TENDONS HAVE BEEN SEVERED GAAAH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fli$ Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 YES!!! That also annoyed me! Especially RIGHT AFTER he said "you can't hold things when your tendons are cut"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardcore Mel Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 clearly i wasn't paying attention by that point to remember that, i just remember thinking 'skip to the end'. you'd have thought lucifer would have been a little more terrifying than some drunk who's been chucked out of a casino in reno. the film was utter balls. i warned chris not to watch it. i warned that it would anger him greatly.

At least the Sin City film stuck to the comics in every single detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
