BTW, look at the dvd charts, they have the numbers right there, if you want to see them for yourself.


these are the charts of amazon.com. and agreeing on something means nothing for me. because it works like this: you hated it, you agree with the haters. you loved it you agree with the lovers. so: no change.
but, i dont care about other ones opinion anymore. everyone likes otherwise things, everyone wnats to see different thigns and thinks different in everything, so who cares.
and that they didnt have a clue whats hellblazer about, what says that of the film or the one star rating?
i really dont understand your points. but maybe im just dumb.

Actually, if you read what I was writing, you would have notice that I’m talking about imdb, not amazon. Amazon has my points about the film right there in front of you because a good majority of the one star reviews are from people who did not know that this film was based on a comic book. The biggest complaint about it was the acting of Keanu Reeves and the screenplay. Now I know that there are fans out there that disapproved of the film and wrote a review but their reviews a small compared to the ones from the ones from those who had no clue about the comic book.

Notice that i did not insult you, so don't call yourself dumb. You just have a diffent view on what is going on.

to try explain you why i wouldnt give any film a 1 star rating: because im objective. regardless of how much i love or hate a film, i try to see the good and the bad points of it. altough i loved batman begins and constantine eg, that doesnt mean i was always satisfied with them: there are parts i really hated (in c: some corny dialogue/situations, some shit music, the boring middle, rachel weisz wasnt so stunning etc; bb: katie holmes, the overemotionalisation, that it was too long etc.) or i was totally disappointed with sin city, but there were things i liked in it (the male voices, the look of the dames, the visuals, the miho slaughter etc.) so thats why i wouldnt give any film 1 star rating.

im in total knowledge that you talked about imdb. but imdb is partner with amazon, so the dvd-board shows just the amazon-sales.
and yeah i know the complaints. that the film makes no snese. thats not true, its toally logical just not everythings explained. but yeah, the screenplay is too short. and i know that they hated keanu. i myself loathed him in matrix, but he totally fitted in constantine, he was really good. and those who wrote he was shit are those who hated him, so thats why i dont care about this. and there many people i know who liked it wheter knowing or not knowing the comic book. so let us just go on, ok? accept that there are people who really liked it, and theyre not just few, like i accepted that there are people who didnt like it. but for me, that doesnt show the quality of a movie that how many did like a particular film or not, so.
(but, just as information, there are many more films really hated. constantine doesnt fall into this category i think)

I'm not going to give my review here because that's not why i'm here. i'm here to blowholes in the hypocrisy of the people who made this film. And the way they are lying about certain things.

i didnt say that you should write your opinion icon_smile.gif
i just told you why i wrote before that i think people who ive 1 star ratings dont really bother me.
and sure, maybe theyre lying but they did a hard work with the film, regardless of the changes so i respect them. respect is really a thing what lacks nowadays. and knowledge.

It does bother you, that's why you gave such a strong reaction. As for my review, I decided not to give one because I choose not to. It's not why i'm writting thease things

If you want to make this a Keanu crusade because you like him, than that’s up to you( i met him and he was really sweet). I’m just trying to give facts where all I see is bull@#%.

Look, you can keep this absurd circular argument up for as long as you like, but please stop quoting each other's comments in your responses. The endless blue lines are giving me a headache.

If you hate it, you hate it.  If you like it, you like it.
Everyone has its own opinion.  May I do a Spock and say IDIC!?

Anyway, sigh...
btw, just to Hagren -  I only watched Matrix 1, but when Constantine came out - I decided to check out 2 and 3.  My initial opinion still stands - in that 2 and 3 were not necessary at all, but hey - if people had fun, then the movie did its function...

If it wont be done, then it wont.  My.  For people who like JCon - who's cool - some of you can be so uncool.... well, if there were no name calling, it would be good debate ... but

One of the joys of having a high-profile Hellblazer website is the occasional fan will drop me a note with something interesting attached.  Like this:
