In Praise of Constantine (2005) & A Few Comparisons to The Marvels
The Marvels is out November 10th and I thought it was now an appropriate time to talk about one of my favourite comic book films, Constantine. The former looks like a soulless, generic picture without any real creativity on display. Meanwhile, Francis Lawrence put everything he had into his debut film in 2005 and it holds up to scrutiny nearly two decades later.
Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou and Tilda Swinton are all great and it's wonderful to see so many character actors taking a schlocky picture like this seriously. No one is there just for a pay cheque, and everyone commits to making this a good film, which in turn elevates it beyond being just another horror-thriller flick.
A sequel was recently announced, and the film won't come out until around the 20th anniversary of the original and this speaks volumes to the quality of Constantine. How many films which have come out in the last few years do you think will inspire enough love to justify a sequel in the 2040s?
