The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Constantine, Season 1 (2015)

Starring: Matt Ryan, Harold Perrineau, Angelica Celaya, Charles Hafford

Premise:
A man with special supernatural gifts is thrown into a battle against the forces of evil.

My Take:
The series is rather uneven throughout and struggles to figure how to handle the material. This would have been a much cooler show without the constraints of public television. While Matt Ryan does a good job with the nihilistic character of John Constantine there is a lot of depth and back story to be explored. Maybe it will get a second season to find it's way.

Rating: In the middle

Watched: NBC / Hulu
