Constantine Review
Keanu Reeves which starred as John Constantine in the movie was
very handsome and his actingwere perfect , as for me I worship his
voice in the film , it s voice characteristics was low and cool
andlike no expression but like cruel and all that. And he s
handsome , I mean look at him
Ok that s about the actor , now back to the movie character.John
Constantine was a chain-smoking cynic, has the ability to see
half-angels and half-demons
true forms. his characteristics was cool , a bit cruel and mean
, he also smoke 30 cigarettes every oneday since his 15 years old .
he want to buy his way to heaven by slayering the demons that has
beentransferred to the human world , that he believes that the
human world was in the middle of heaven
and hell.
Story
John Constantine , He seeks salvation from eternal damnation in
Hell for a suicide attempt in his youth,by sending half-demons back
to Hell with his sidekick However, full demons have begun
attempting tocross over. Disturbed by this information and with his
death looming over him due to lung cancer,Constantine seeks an
audience with the androgynous half-breed angel Gabriel, Gabriel
tells him that ashe does his exorcisms to escape Hell and for his
own benefit, they are vain acts that won t spare him.Departing, he
encounters LAPD officer Angela Dodson , investigating the death of
her twin sister Isabel,who leapt from the roof of the mental
hospital she was committed to. Constantine is attacked by a
true
demon, but kills it. Upon attempting to speak with former
witch-doctor turned owner of a nightclub thatserves as neutral
ground for half-breeds; Papa Midnite about this attack, he is
rebuffed and dismissed.Constantine, with the help of his associates
Beeman Hennessy and Chas, begins investigating thesituation.
Constantine tells Angela that God and Lucifer have a standing
wager for the souls of all mankind. Therule for this wager is that
angels and demons cannot manifest on Earth (however, half-breeds
can), butcan possess and influence humans. Afterwards, Constantine
finds out Isabel was psychic, and her visionslead to her
institutionalization. With the help of Hennessy and Beeman,
Constantine finds out that the

demons are working for Mammon, Lucifer s son, who wishes to
create his own kingdom on Earth. Inorder for Mammon to come to
Earth, he needs divine assistance and a powerful psychic, for
whichreason half-demon Balthazar locates Isabel and Angela. Angela
reveals that she possessed the same giftbut denied hers to the
point that it became inactive. At her request, Constantine
reawakens it, byleading her to a death experience (drowning her in
the bathtub) so she can see demons and angels trueforms.
Constantine attacks and interrogates Balthazar, who reveals that
Mammon has obtained theSpear of Destiny, which has the blood of
Jesus Christ encrusted on it. Angela is kidnapped to be used as the
portalfor Mammon s entrance to Earth. Constantine storms Midnite s
club and after a brief scuffle, Midniteallows Constantine access to
the chair, an old electric chair fromSing Sing Prison that had
killed over200 people. It grants Constantine visions which show him
that the Spear was discovered in Mexico andthat it is already in
L.A. Constantine and Chas go to Isabel s hospital, where Mammon is
conducting theritual to rise in Angela s body. After exorcising
numerous half-breed demons, the pair interrupt the ritualand
attempt to exorcise Mammon from Angela, costing Chas his life at
the hands of an invisible party.
Using sigils on his arms, John forces the party, Gabriel, to
reveal itself, but Constantine is promptlysubdued. Gabriel resents
God s favoritism towards humanity, and the forgiveness they are
readily given.
Gabriel believes that by bringing Hell to Earth, humans can
become worthy of God s love throughrepentance and faith. Gabriel
throws Constantine from the room and begins to release Mammon.
AsGabriel goes to stab Angela with the Spear and release Mammon,
Constantine slits his wrists. Time stopsand Lucifer who hates
Constantine enough to collect his soul personally, arrives.
Constantine tellsLucifer about Mammon s plan and Lucifer sends
Mammon back to Hell to keep Mammon fromconquering Earth before him.
Gabriel attempts to smite Lucifer, but is relieved of his holy
powers anddefeated.
In return for helping Lucifer, Constantine is owed a favour, but
rather than asking for an 'extension' andbe restored to life, he
instead asks that Isabel be allowed to go to Heaven. Lucifer
happily obliges, but,as he begins to drag Constantine to Hell,
Heaven appears before him; by sacrificing himself for Isabelwhen
there was clearly nothing in it for him, Constantine has proven
himself worthy to enter Heaven.
Infuriated, Lucifer heals Constantine s wounds and cures him of
his cancer so that Constantine wouldhave a second chance to 'prove
that [he] truly belongs in Hell'. Constantine retrieves the Spear
anddeparts with Angela, but not before a now-human Gabriel attempts
to goad Constantine intocommitting murder, only for Constantine to
simply respond by punching the now-fallen angel,introducing a part
of humanity: physical pain. Gabriel, defeated, nevertheless
delighted in Constantine'schoosing "the higher path", saying, "You
could have shot me, John...look how well you're doing!"
Constantine then gives the Spear to Angela and instructs her to
hide it where no one can find it. Thefinal shot before the credits
reveals that Constantine has switched from cigarettes to gum.
After the credits, Constantine visits Chas grave and sees Chas
rise into Heaven as an angel.
My Opinion
The movie has a VERY GOOD story line , except there were some
mistakes about the story beingcompared to the real bible , im
catholic by the way so I know the real story about Jesus Christ .
but onlyone small mistakes , that is , in the bible it wrote that
the spear of destiny was being stabbed into Jesusstomach because
the soldier of rome wants to makes sure that Jesus Christ is really
died , but in themovie they tells that Jesus was died because that
spear was beaing stabbed to his stomach . but other
