[Constantine]

This movie is not boring but is quite confusing over the Biblical aspects of it. Some Biblical aspects of it seem almost "comical" (its a comic anyway) here's some of the pros and cons

Pros:
The demons are nice! Well quite different from what u usually see. They do really look like demons from hell. The soldier demons only have half heads. There are some which can fly. The demon possession is not as disturbing as in the Exorcist series. Those [in exortist] ARE really disturbing. The effects were well done, their portray of hell was not too bad, yes it is almost like what was described in the Bible, everything is burning and there is no end. The wings of Gabriel was nicely done, they look real. But they were toasted by Lucifer in the end which i find it amusing.

The show has a strong sense of anti nazis since the main cause of the demons coming to our plane was caused by a spear called the Spear of Destiny which was discovered accidentally by a worker. The holder of this spear holds the fate of hell and earth.

Cons:

I honesty cannot catch the flow of the story is there's any at all to begin with. It was in bits and pieces. Some parts are amusing. There's a hell bible where in their version of revelation, the end of man kind is not brought upon by Christ Son of God but by Gammon? son of the devil. This son wants to take over the plane of man, which is currently ruled by Lucifer/Devil, his own father. Anyway, it is the father who stops his son from being "delivered" into this world. The worst cock thing is Gabriel The Angel was going to use the spear to deliver this son of devil into this world.

I never follow the comic, so I was like "WTF?"

Lucifer looked more like one oil tycoon than anything else. Yes his entrance was a scene showing his feet in black "oil". Later there was more oil when he dug his hands into Constantine's lungs to remove his cancerous tumours. Constantine was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer after smoking 30 cigs a day since he was 15. After sacrificing himself in exchange for one gal which shld be in heaven, he gained entrance into Heaven but Lucifer prevented him from doing so by curing his cancer - remove his turmours by force, -_-|||

Side track:

Constantine was denial of his gift and he was trying to buy his world into Heaven by elimating demons. Oke, there were some half-demons and half angels which I nv really understood. One touching part was when Garbriel told him the real path to Heaven, on how God wants him to be with Him.

Overall its not too bad. Better than watching Aido Aido which will be released in cheapo vcds for cheapo SGporeans. What an excellent marketing strategy to use ministers to boost the movie's worth, if its so worth watching in a theatre and spending the $8.50 , u wun need any ministers.
