Constantine - recently released on DVD

Predictable and disappointing are the two words that popped into my mind after this film started rolling the credits. It was better than End of Days, but not by much.

The premise is pretty much the same as any of the other movies that include angels and demons. I like Keanu Reeves, but he really needs to find different roles other than the deadpan, no expression hero.These are a few of the things that irritated me while watching (other than the storyline)

1. Everyone whispers...I was constantly turning the volume up to hear the dialogue then quickly turning it back down when music or special effect blared in. Missed a couple parts and had to repeat - I hate that.

2. Rachel Weisz (the herione in The Mummy) is a beautiful woman, and this is a well financed movie. Nobody thought that it would be a good idea to touch up her roots? Her hair did not look trendy - it looked like she need to visit the health and beauty aisle of Wal-Mart. She also would slip into a British accent now and again.

3. Why is all the cool demon-casting-out stuff left to the Catholics? How come some of us Prostestants can't get in on the action? I think Keanu's helper was Shia Leboueff (sp?) and he was spouting the Catholic dogma pretty good; and there I thought he was a good Jewish boy all this time.

4. A cross shaped gatling gun that shoots bullets made of holy-water-filled-gold-bullets?
Puh-lease

Consider yourself warned.
