What the character real...Yeah, I discovered that. <br /><br />What the character really needs is something like Daredevil. One big story that goes for 10 episodes or so. Something that allows for real world building and development.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-29016975943615456922017-05-27T10:11:51.783-05:002017-05-27T10:11:51.783-05:00Haha...

Stormare really is great casting.<br /><br />Also, there WAS a Constantine TV series a couple years ago. It did awful and I'm pretty sure was cancelled after one season (if the season even finished).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-5514752513093765962017-05-26T07:55:02.593-05:002017-05-26T07:55:02.593-05:00Right--it could have been done; it just wasn't...Right--it could have been done; it just wasn't. That's why I'd have liked it to be something like a season of Daredevil. Expand the world, increase the characters, dive into everything going on. Same basic story fully fleshed out. That would have been worth seeing.<br /><br />"Ambivalence" is a good way to put it. My opinion on the film matches yours. I like it well enough, almost because I think I'm supposed to, but it falls short of what it could (and should) have been. On my Letterboxd page, 3 stars is the "I like it" cut off point. This got 3 stars.SJHoneywellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13550007053995112090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3166297507174717122.post-90559053085924826022017-05-26T01:29:54.843-05:002017-05-26T01:29:54.843-05:00I think you've put your finger on my own ambiv...I think you've put your finger on my own ambivalence toward this movie, which I like but don't see as great. "Constantine" had potential, but it somehow fell short of the mark. Part of the problem may well have been its inability to engage in serious world-building within such a limited running time.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.com
