I guess I don't need to see the movie, now that I know how it ends. The previews actually looked halfway decent.
It isn't like the Matrix is it? I didn't really like the matrix. all style and no substance.Comment

the previews make it look too much like the matrix, and the only movie I liked keneau reeves in was Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure (not sure if I got the title entirely right)
so in short Im going to judge the book by the cover and say this movie is CRAP.

It's a very silly movie, but it's a good silly movie as far as it goes.
The real fun was on the way home, when I tried to untangle for my daughter (whom we've raised without religion) what in the movie was Christian cosmology and what was just weird sh*t Hollywood made up.
Surprising how hard that is, really. *ducks*

Because even if we don't believe, the cosmology is obviously an important aspect of Western culture. We don't care if she never reads the Bible (though she should, for cultural knowledge) but, as our daughter, she will read Paradise Lost, and she's never going to understand what's going on there without some background.Originally posted by DinoDoc

Seriously though, I don't go to movies expecting to learn about history. Why do people go to comic book movies of all things expecting to learn about Christian cosmology? There are far better sources of information for you child to use.Originally posted by Rufus T. Firefly

PS The Inferno would be the better choice IMO.

When she was about 8 or so, our daughter was invited to a firend's church for Easter services. She came home all excited, and breathlessly related that the church had spent the morning recounting the story of Jesus Christ Superstar.Originally posted by DinoDoc

Since then, we've tried to give her a heads-up whenever she's encountering elements of the Christian cosmology. The results are interesting; for example, like a lot of secular children of educated parents, she's actually getting most of her sense of Christianity by going to art museums.
No question, but she'll read them both dammit; I just picked Milton for the whole angels-demons-war-against-heaven angle.PS The Inferno would be the better choice IMO.
Actually, I can't wait until she reads Milton and finally figures out what Phillip Pullman's been up to..."I have as much authority as the pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it." — George CarlinComment

For the genre of comic book conversions and "theological action", it was fine. A nice 2 hours of entertainment.
All the actors were fine, and I think Tilda Swinton made a great Gabriel- I liked her scene at the end.
Also, stay throught the entire credits (damned things are LONG) cause they have an extra scene, which I will not give away, unlike some other people
Oh, and I saw this in my neighborhood ghettoplex, and two noisy kids, maybe 11 or so, sat behind me, talking nonsense, but I loved it when one kid tried to have some "intelliegent conversation" by pointing out that given that the movie was about heaven and hell, the name Constantine probably had to do with Emperor Constantine, whom had banned Christianity from Islam, or something (this is what he said).
Which was doubly funny because when my mother first saw the title around, she thought, given all the costume dramas around latetly that it was probably about Emperor Constantine.If you don't like reality, change it! me
