People who have never played the game at all can understand the meaning of the story by watching this film, which is its saving grace. When I watched "Constantine" a few years ago, I didn't understand it for the first time.
In terms of script, it is widely expected that such an excellent theme will be remade, so the expectations will be so high that you will be very disappointed after watching the movie. Many wonderful details were not reflected. Max's inner contradictions and his dark side were not shown. Instead, he was portrayed like a lone hero. It can be felt that the keynote of the commercial film affected the portrayal of the characters.
But the success is that the production is top-notch, at least for me, it's rare to watch the trailer and get high. I really like the image of the winged demon in the film. The wings behind it are the most beautiful I have ever seen. The proportions are good, they are big enough, and the feathers feel great. They are not too gorgeous or bloody. People with wings are illusory. Makes people uncomfortable. 90% of the expectations for this film came from the charming pair of evil wings seen in the trailer. But honestly, the trailer is better than the movie.
The tone of the film is more metallic and cool, which I like. The single shot shot is very neat, I like it very much.
In short, if you want to see the plot, don't expect too much. If you see the effect, I recommend this film.
