    I had the same feeling when watching the Constantine trailer as I did when I first saw The Matrix trailer. I chuckled at the absurdity of it, so that means the movie will probably kick ass.

    A friend of mine joked that Constantine looks like The Devil's Advocate and The Matrix combined.

    I think it'll be good, but I bet it would have been better if they stuck more to the Hellblazer comic and made John Constantine british and had it take place in London.

    I've seen house of flying daggers it was a great movie a lot of dazzling visual effects and a nice story with twists. I recommend it if its playing nearby your town.

    so Constantine has nothing to do with the historical figure?

    Nope - It's based on a comic book. (check out the trailer)

    Why do people keep putting Keanu in movies, he sucks, and now you have to pay him boatloads of money? :confused:

    Well, the studio wanted a big American star, namely Keanu. Better to make the character American than subject the world to Keanu faking an accent.

    I've seen House of Flying Daggers and thought it was a very good movie. IMO it's even better than Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. If you can't find a local theater to watch it you can buy the Chinese DVD online (i.e. eBay) that includes English subtitles.

    I've also seen House of Flying Daggers... however I did not think it was that great... well to be honest it was the end that killed it for me... it just draaaaaaaaaged!

    The cinematography on it is wonderful though...

    I also saw House of Flying Daggers, and I didn't think it was nearly as good as either Hero or CTHD. HOFD had some similar themes and motifs with both of those movies, but I felt that HOFD wasn't as deep. The cinematography, especially towards the end of the movie, truly is wonderful. But personally, the CGI really threw me off. It really seemed out of place.
