CONSTANTINE

Just curious if anyone else checked out this Keanu Reeves epic. I was shocked to find that it's actually pretty good -- a semblance of a plot, good performances (though Keanu's a little stiff), some interesting dialogue and black humor, plus decent effects.
Unfortunately Warner's sent me the 1-disc edition (we're not big enough for the 2-disc, sadly), so I can't catch all the supplements...though even this "vanilla" version contained the 18 mins. of deleted scenes with an alternate ending.
I noticed how well -- REALLY well -- CONSTANTINE fared overseas. It brought in over $150 million worldwide, to augment its respectable $75 million take domestically. I assume based on those numbers that we'll see a sequel, especially if the DVD does well.
At any rate, in a year of one bomb after another, this one is actually worth a rental. Thumbs up, as they say
