United States | The New York Times | "Tilda Swinton is the Angel Gabriel, adding a touch of high-class celestial cross-dressing to this overblown, overlong attempt - which falls just short of success - to make a movie dumber than 'Van Helsing'" | NEG |
United States | The Washington Post | "The relation between 'Constantine' and its source material is, at best, superfluous" | NEG |
United Kingdom | Empire | "While lacking the richness of its source material, it remains an enjoyable, immoral and sometimes beautifully Gothic tale" | POS |

United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "An engrossing mix of atmospheric gothic horror and smart sci-fi that's cemented by intriguing mythology, terrific visual effects, a dry sense of humor and an ideally cast Keanu Reeves." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Pic possesses powerful imagery but lacks feature-length substance" | NEU |
United States | The Wall Street Journal | "'Constantine' is yet another studio extravaganza that's all aswirl with atmospherics, though empty at its center. The invasion of the soul snatchers proceeds apace." | NEG |
