Constantine - The Slaughter
Feb. 20th, 2005 01:41 amOk, so I'm a nutcase, I laugh at innapropiate times in movies, I also cut my geek teeth on DC Vertigo comics when I was ten (my sis got sick of me bugging her so she'd just shove some reading material at me sometimes she'd remember to find something that wasn't too mature for my age).
So while I'm not an rabid Hellblazer reader whose read the whole series cover to cover and catalouged the Constantine family tree I am familiar with the character of John Constantine. He made appearances in Swamp Thing, Sandman, and Books of Magic which I've read. I've also read enough of the actual series to get the gist of it.
( cut for geekish rant, movie spoilers and vast critism )
Ok to sum up the rant thus far:
Giving the script to a fresh pair of eyes (I don't mean to add onto it, but just read it to check for clarity).
Changing some casting around (Constantine and Lucifer for one) also would have helped this be a pretty good show, instead of an annoying show that makes me cry and want to watch Hellboy to make the pain go away.
