I am an expert on these things and I say the fights in Transporter were good.

That line took me by surprise. Constantine getting good reviews? It was an absolute piece of crap. They've changed Constantine's personality and character completely, they might as well should have created a new character completely. And Constantine was blonde.

As for Transporter, Corey Yuen was responsible for the action scenes, and while his films aren't exactly renowned for the sophisticated plot, it proves to be entertaining nevertheless. I thought the action scenes were decent in transporter, (of course there has been better) but not exactly top grade stuff. I didn't exactly grow bored with the action than the plot itself.

"Constantine" was a real disappointment to say the least.
It could´ve been so much better then it was, the beginning off the movie is quiet good but then it goes quickly downwards.
Anyone seen "A history off violence" yet?
I need to go see that some day soon when I got the time

I just picked THE WOODSMAN cause it had good reviews.

In the store i rented the movies from you can rent 3 movies alot cheaper than two movies. So i wanted a third to go with Constantine,Born To Defense. Constantine i only wanted cause i like comics movies even if they arent so good.

Constantine was okay cause i know nothing about the comic other than he was a blond.

I wanna read the comic cause i like demons and stuff in comcis.

yayyy im glad i have supporters for transporter!

hmm constantine is a mixed bag. you could say it was really cool cause it was indeed pretty damn cool but you could also say it sucked because we all really cant stand keanu reeves and his acting abilities which are as bad as ben afflecks. it also really depends on people who actually read the comic book. however, i thought it was pretty cool, ive gotten used to keanu reeves and his "where am i?" kind of clueless acting.

plus it was awesome seeing peter stormare as lucifer

Stormare was awesome as Lucifer. He is the best in roles like these.


Keanu i thought was pretty good in Constantine cause its roles like this he is good at. He might not be a great actor but he is great at choosin roles he is perfect for like this movie and Matrix.

Man he isnt that bad.

Alaso you cant call him braindead cause he earned 50 milion dollars+ a precentage of what Matrix 2 and 3 made. That alone makes him one of the richest actor in hollywood.

yeah i did overexaggerate. you cant go as bad as ben affleck. i still think one of keanu's best roles was in speed, which was light years ago. i figured by now he'd be totally awesome, perhaps a lil disappoint i guess

his name does sell, and its sickening.

i loved his earlier works. he made some great movies in the past like pulp fiction, resorvoir dogs, jackie brown, but recently he seems lazy. kill bill was finally something good for a while from him, but everything else has been "pay me and ill let you put my name on your movie" crap. i dont see martin scorsese doing that. quentin should jus stop unsuccessfully trying to sodomize uma thurman and do something he has skills in like making movies
