As Good As It Gets

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The reason this show is a cut above others such as I've seen, such as Grimm or even X-Files, is the fast pace, the dry gib of the protagonist and the really professional special effects. The ideas are cool too. It's simply not boring and has that visual hyperbole you'd expect from a comic style drama, although I took a couple of points off for the occasional portrayal of life as fairly cheap in the interests of the cause. I suppose Preacher and Ash vs The Evil Dead are the competition, also great shows. I haven't seen all episodes of all these shows, so this is a rough guide at best, but they have greatly enhanced my schlock violence escapist options for a night in. Preacher, Ash and Constantine are at the cusp of big budget movie quality.It's not really a comparison to the movie of the same name. Although the themes are parallel, the characters are very different, and the movie aimed at an echo of noir, with brilliant big budget special effects.I'd happily and equally look forward to seeing more of the series, or a sequel to the Constantine movie. Good popcorn drama.

I love this series. The only thing that was missing was more background of characters, spells/magic, etc. I feel a lot of explanation was missing... were the writers "hurried?" Or, perhaps much was lost in editing. At any rate, the shows concept and actors were absolutely fantastic, especially Matt Ryan! I hope the series is picked up by another network and given more attention & I don't mean an animated version... I would love to see this same series, with the exact same actors. Perhaps new writers and/or editors, budget increase, director, etc, would make the show exactly what it should be? I don't know the answer but, this series concept & it's actors are far to good to just let it fade away or turn it into an animated show.

A man struggling with his faith is haunted by the sins of his past but is suddenly thrust into the role of defending humanity from the gathering forces of darkness. Just finished watching Constantine and although it wasn't perfect i still enjoyed it a lot and the way it ends totally promised us a Season 2 but unfortunately that never happened although we are getting an animated version of the show. Now let me start with the stuff i did liked which is Matt Ryan as John Constantine which i think he did a really good job, also Angélica Celaya and Charles Halford were very good too. As for the villains i think that Michael James Shaw as Papa Midnite showed up in very weird places and episodes which kinda ruined the moment for me and don't get me wrong the man did a good job and then we have Harold Perrineau (Sabotage, The Edge) as Manny who spends 11 out of the 13 episodes of the entire season doing absolutely nothing except talking but he did have 2 really cool scenes but that season finale i don't know i just did not like the twist that much. As for my favorite episodes i think episode 6 was the best because it reminded me a lot of The Omen, Episodes 7,8 and 9 were also very great as for the rest of the episodes they were good but with both their ups and downs. Now let me start with the flaws like i said Manny does absolutely nothing for like the whole season except 2 major scenes where he saves the team but also a very funny sequence in the Hospital and the big twist in the end was pretty shocking to say the least, some of the cgi were pretty bad at times especially in Episode 1, certain demons in a couple of episodes were laughable especially the one who possessed other people and made them eat to death, there was also a scene where Constantine leaves his jacket in a house and he leaves without actually taking it at all and after he leaves his room in the hotel he wears it again with no reason and i know it's just science fiction but common really? The first 5 episodes were also kinda slow but after that it does pick up really good. I was also surprised by how much blood there's in this show i mean it's pretty hardcore at times and it totally has a very different feeling than Arrow, Supergirl, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and even Vixen and i enjoyed that but i have to point out that at times there's some stupid jump scares that really bugged me. But overall "Constantine" is a great show that for sure it's not perfect but it totally deserved a Season 2 and i'm gonna give it an 9/10.

Based on the comic book character Constantine who is a modern age exorcist of sorts who aptly identifies himself as "Exorcist, Demonologist, and occasional dabbler of the Dark Arts". You're going to really enjoy this if you like the genre and while Matt Ryan does the job well, there are times where he falls short on his acting and you lose the flow of the episode. Further, while you may enjoy the single episode stories, the overall plot doesn't progress well and it gets a bit dragged with the climax being a let-down. The earlier episodes are nice and it seems like its building towards something but that something never comes. Overall entertaining, but it's like the pizza which fills your stomach but doesn't quite hit the spot.
