Based on the DC/Vertigo "Hellblazer" comics.

Critics Consensus

Despite solid production values and an intriguing premise, Constantine lacks the focus of another spiritual shoot-em-up: The Matrix.

Blazes few new trails and bogs down in a confusing narrative muddle.

I deeply loathe the Heaven-and-Hell genre to which this cinematic comic-book spectacular belongs.

Days are seared by burning sunlight, nights swallow the world and bring out the demons, and Hell is an Earth burning in the nuclear fires of Armageddon.

For better and worse, it feels more like a middle chapter that throws you into this ambitious world, making you wish you could have spent more time in this world to get your footing and see where this narrative could had led.

Rated: 3/5

A handful of scenes depicting the high temperatures on the devil's home turf are plausibly horrific, but the rest barely registers.

A perfectly average movie, great cast and interesting premise. But the soft magic system and worldbuilding definitely needed more time and energy from the writing staff.

This is a go-to movie for me. It's comfort food. Great performances by all, and I ultimately just really like the story. Also, Peter Stormare's Satan is a performance that I think about all the time. And Swinton's Gabriel – loved it.
