I only had two issues with Constantine. 1. the director cut all but 2 seconds of Michelle Monaghan out of the movie, and 2. the character Isobel Dodson (Rachel Weisz) is a devout Catholic but tells John, "I don't believe in the Devil..". That doesn't make any sense. BTW, Peter Stomare makes a fantastic Satan, "I do miss the old names..".

Constantine is actually really enjoyable and great. On top of that, Reeves is pretty riveting.

As a person who'd never read the books, I had no expectations going in. It's a solid movie on its own, and has fantastic design, effects, and acting. But I can totally understand why fans of the actual comic were pissed--he wasn't blonde, wasn't old, wasn't bi, wasn't blonde, wasn't British, and wasn't in London, all rather vital elements of the backdrop. When a buddy looked at me and said, "Could you picture Jeremy Irons?", it clicked what kind of a vibe he was expecting.

the only scene worth to watch in the 2005 Constantine is when John flips the devil. The rest is bullshit to appease the audience that likes the morality good-evil and believes in heaven-hell. Even the 2014 TV show and the DC animated movie Justice League Dark (2017) couldn't translate to the screen the character from Hellblazer comics, because people (huge, huge majority) have absolutely no idea what is a sorcerer or the concept of anti-hero. The problem is that some stories are not for mainstream, people struggle even to assimilate Marvel's Iron Man and Spiderman, just look how many movies they had to make till 2018 to bring Thanos and infinity war to screen, the million dollar market campaign, and much probably (hope i'm wrong) the movies won't stand a candle next to the original. The potential to make big money copying books and comics is great , but at the cost of stupifying the source material.

The Book of Eli is a Masterpiece in my opinion.

Thank Y'all for including "the Hunted" (one of my all time favorite movies) The writers/producers did an excellent job in merging what you see/what's really going on..becoming a movie more about perception..and it works both ways. Most people see Del Toro as a PTSD ridden Phsycopath seeing everyone as a threat trying to "sweep" him because of what he has Saw/Done for the Gov't as a Black Ops assassin..but in truth , everyone he kills IS trying to Kill him....and His Former Teacher KNOWS this. Hollywood doesn't like movies that make you use your Head... As a Retired Extreme Survival Instructor, I loved the Survival , Trackin skills used( yes it was over the top but at least the skills were based on some truth) an as a Hard Use Knife Designer, I especially loved that the film is a "minimalistic" , up close& personal Knife Users Movie.. also thanks for including "the Knowing " and " the book of Eli" ... 2 more EXCELLENT movies😉 Conclusion, 2 middle fingers up for "hOllyWoOD" 2 thumbs up and 1 Hell yea for Looper 💯🎸🖤🤠

The Cell and Constantine are amazing Movies. Up in my Favorite List.

I loved "knowing". It is one of the very few sci-fis where the protagonist neither accepts and believes everything happening around him is destined or magical blatantly, nor does he ignores and denies the facts and science behind those happenings. He is calm and he collects evidence to understand whats going on and then he finally presents them to his colleague once he is sure enough. Like a true scientist would do. Not many directors portray a scientist like this.

You are joking, right? 1982's 'The Thing's effects are fantastic beyond belief - universally acknowledged as such. 'Less silly'? The effects are neither silly nor the premise of the movie - it is one of unrelenting foreboding and dread.

My three favorite movies that were critically panned: "The Hudsucker Proxy" by the Coen brothers. It's a beautifully filmed parable/throwback about karma. What goes around comes around. "Mystery Men" - THIS is the best super hero parody ever. "Hard Rain" - It's a good crime caper with the whole city is going under. What's not to love?

I don't think it was necessarily pushing Christianity. It was more about the power of faith in general. It didn't matter if it was real or not, Eli believed it to be real and it gave him steadfast resolve and seemingly supernatural abilities. Carnegie wanted to twist that power of faith to control and rule over the people. Notice at the end the Bible is added to a library, just one of many books that include the Quran, Torah, etc.

I understand the hate, but I don't agree with it. There's really a lot they changed about his personality and also the storyline they based the movie on. 1. They don't explain that Balthazar actually put Constantine on the road to his way of thinking as a child. 2. Constantine actually ends his curse by tricking 3 rival kings of hell into keeping him alive which is far more interesting than redeeming himself with God. 3. He's blonde, British, and Chas is an adult with a wife and kids that gets dragged into everything because of an obligation. There's a lot more but realistically you can't expect a perfect adaptation for such a long, convoluted comic book series. The only thing that really put me off was Rachel Weisse and her horrible accent, her need to sound extra husky all the time, and just how annoying her character is. She hunts him down because of his expertise in the occult but then she doesn't believe anything he says when he finally opens up. C'mon now...

It is so good. That movie made me love Tilda Swinton

Interesting picks. I can definitely vouch for Vanilla Sky. When it came out, I too was like 'Oh Cruise as the pretty boy. Torn between love, yada yada.' And when I first saw it later, I was like WTF? But having watched it several times after - it truly is a ingenious movie that looks and acts great ALL around! 'Super' sounds like it was way ahead of Joker, and is ironic how that could've been so panned and Joker so lauded. The Cell as well, though I don't think much of J Lo's music - she's a pretty good actress in this one!

"Knowing" is an awesome movie!!

I agree. Knowing is an absolute favourite of mine. Critics don't like it? I CANNOT for the life of me think why!! It's got mystery, tension, special effects (the good type), a great story line, emotion, and a thought provoking ending. How much more do critics want in a movie?!

Great video! Most of these movies seem unique and really interesting.

I loved Constantine, Knowing, Book of Eli, and The Majestic. People always see Jim Carrey as a comedic actor but completely miss out on the depth of his dramatic roles. I love Vincent Dinofrio, and it's amazing that I haven't seen The Cell yet. Maybe I'll see if it's somewhere online.

The Cell, Constatine and Knowing are of a handful of movies that I'll watch multiple times. You can't deny that these movies are entertaining. The critics REALLY need to get out of their heads sometimes...

I have never read a review before seeing a movie, and I never will. Not letting someone else's opinion enter even slightly into my brain. It's confusing enough in there.

Constantine is one of my favorite movies of that genre. I think it was one of Reeves's best performances. In a similar vein , you may like Johnny Mnemonic. I also think the Majestic was Carrey's best serious performance.

This makes me happy. I loved Constantine and Knowing too

The Cell and Constantine were absolutely beautiful, both very different takes on the genre. Definite cult classic.

Vanilla Sky was so intense. Loved it.

The only one I really agree with here is The Book of Eli - one of the best ever. You didn’t even mention the HUGE TWIST at the end. It’s on the same level as Bruce Willis being one of the “dead people” in Sixth Sense. 😎

I loved "The Cell"! Great story, great ideas for things in his mind and great acting! I did enjoy "Constantine", but I wouldn't say it's at the top of my list. I didn't see "Knowing", but I will say, Nicolas Cage does have some great movies, like "Matchstick Men" and "Gone in 60 Seconds" for example. From what I see here of "The Majestic", doesn't look like my kind of movie, but Jim Carrey is an awesome actor! I especially loved "The Truman Show" and remember him in "High Strung", an other movie I love!

I love how Roger Ebert was one of the few critics who actually liked these moves. That was one of the things I loved about going to his website, I found gems like "The Cell" and "Knowing" and I probably wouldn't have watched them if I hadn't read his reviews.

He did one for Citizen Kane too (at least I remember that one). As for Ebert championing movies: I agree he had his unique voice. Even if sometimes I strongly disagreed with him (Fight Club, Starship Troopers for example) I appreciated his singular dedication and also that his ego wasn't inflated so he could revise his opinion on films he previously panned - Blade Runner comes to mind.

Pandorum. One of the most overlooked Sci-Fi horrors starring Ben Foster and Dennis Quaid. Dredd. One off the best comic book adaptations and visually stunning. The Road. If you're ever in the mood for the most sobering post-apocalyptic films ever created, watch it. It makes Book of Eli look like Disney World.

The Book of Eli was one of the best movies I've seen.

It's great to see The Hunted on here. Speaking as a former Marine, I love the survival, training and combat portrayal. Plus Benicio is great, as usual and Tommy Lee is really good, as usual. Neither are really "action guys" but both pull it off, really well. I need a third hand to give this movie enough thumbs up.

Book of Eli has just some purely amazing moments. The gunplay is awesome, plus quoting scripture before laying down some dudes is just BA, no matter what you believe. And the revelation about Eli? Classic.

Great video! Vanilla Sky & Eli are in my all-time top 20, I thought The Cell was great too. This could be a series: movies the critics got wrong.

The Cell is amazing! The story is great and Vincent gives a chilling performance.

Constatine was a very cool movie. I never read the comic, so I didn't have any expectations going into it. Maybe fans of the comic were disappointed it was exactly the same, but it was still a pretty good movie.

I LOVED "Book of Eli". Funny story: I was talking about the movie at church. One of the older ladies asked some questions about it. I mentioned how I loved it, but how it IS rather violent and profane. She actually rented it that week...and loved it, too!
