Constantine in the comics had an even more ingenious gambit, in order to save his life. He sold his soul to several demons before committing suicide. These demons would not cede their rights to the soul to any of the others, so they resurrected him and cured his cancer, for until they could come to an agreement (one which would never come, because they could never get along). Also: John Constantine in the comics is British, and based off of the musician Sting. His name isn't pronounced ConstanTEEN, but ConstanTINE. In the comics, John has mentioned that there's an American who does similar work to him, but he pronounces his name differently (cheeky reference to the movie). Chaz is the only friend of his that never gets killed (it's a running gag, as anyone else he gets close to doesn't have long to live).

Even though this movie got a bit of backlash at release since it had very, very little in common with the source material, I think overall this movie is fairly well regarded now and people have come to appreciate it more. The cinematography and editing is great, and the story is really good as well. If people thought of it as it's own thing and not an adaptation then it would have had much better initial reception. But, I'm glad it's finally getting a sequel and I'm very curious where they could go with the story seeing as it's been almost 20 years since the first.

He said in an interview in 2017 (With Brazilian writer Raphael Sassaki): _I think the impact of superheroes on popular culture is both tremendously embarrassing and not a little worrying. While these characters were originally perfectly suited to stimulating the imaginations of their twelve or thirteen year-old audience, today’s franchised übermenschen, aimed at a supposedly adult audience, seem to be serving some kind of different function, and fulfilling different needs. Primarily, mass-market superhero movies seem to be abetting an audience who do not wish to relinquish their grip on (a) their relatively reassuring childhoods, or (b)the relatively reassuring 20th century. The continuing popularity of these movies to me suggests some kind of deliberate, self-imposed state of emotional arrest, combined with an numbing condition of cultural stasis that can be witnessed in comics, movies, popular music and, indeed, right across the cultural spectrum. The superheroes themselves - largely written and drawn by creators who have never stood up for their own rights against the companies that employ them, much less the rights of a Jack Kirby or Jerry Siegel or Joe Schuster - would seem to be largely employed as cowardice compensators, perhaps a bit like the handgun on the nightstand. I would also remark that save for a smattering of non-white characters (and non-white creators) these books and these iconic characters are still very much white supremacist dreams of the master race. In fact, I think that a good argument can be made for D.W. Griffith’s Birth of a Nation as the first American superhero movie, and the point of origin for all those capes and masks._

There was a Constantine TV show that was very good. The actor playing the character was Matt Ryan. He played the character more comic book accurate than Keanu did. I am fan of Keanu but Matt plays the character much better. There is animated movie where Kevin Conroy’s Batman gets Constantine, and other magical and Monster lite characters of the Justice League together to fight a magical villain. These characters are Zatanna the magician, Eterigan who is an immortal cursed man named Jason Blood from Arthurian time that is cursed to transform into a demon to fight magical threats, Swamp Thing, and Dead Man who is a ghost, named Austin Brand, that fights to balance Karma by possessing people. This team is called Justice League Dark. There is one Justice League member that is their own Dr Strange lite character named Dr Fate. He would be on the JL Dark team as well. Guillermo Del Toro was supposed to do a live action movie about these characters but WB has creative differences with him and they canceled the movie, made the animated movie instead and took some of the ideas from Del Toro’s script to make the first Suicide Squad movie which was TERRIBLE! I wish we got the JL Dark movie instead.

Film buffs may recognise actress Michelle Monaghan at the end there (she's the demon who says "Holy water?" when the sprinklers are turned on). Monaghan originally had a much bigger role as a character named "Ellie": a demon half-breed, Constantine's informant as well as his friend with benefits. She was cut out because the filmmakers felt that Constantine's character was not lonely enough if he was sexually active.

I met Peter Storemare who plays Satan in this film. At the time I was working for a security company in Chicago while filming the tv show Prison Break. I also have a dvd made by Wade Williams who handed the dvd out to everyone at the Prison. Peter was such an amazing person and very funny guy to meet. He always cracked jokes to everyone on set. Peter threw a death party and handed me a paper for his party. I was lucky enough to go. I had a blast. I still have the paper Peter handed to me and have the dvd Wade gave me at the Prison. I got a pic with Peter but an old friend of mine stole it from me which is bizarre. I don’t talk to him anymore. At his death party I was able to meet his mother who he looked so much like. Very nice woman too like he is in person. At the time he had his dog Garbo which was a Doberman Pincher dog. She was so kind and loved to explore the prison. Peter is a big fan of Greta Garbo acting and that is why his dog was named Garbo at the time

I don't watch much in the way of TV, anymore, but, when I did, I would watch Constantine any time I saw it was on, no matter where it was in the movie. I can watch this any time. Is it true to the comics? Not really. They didn't have the time to really get into his backstory, and superficially he doesn't resemble the blond British man from the comics... but I feel like the spirit is there, and I really enjoy this movie. Everyone in it does a great job. This is apparently the role Keanu would most like to reprise.

"God is a kid with an ant farm." Excellent description of an amoral deity who just does whatever it wants. It also applies to the gods and goddesses of the ancient Greeks. Those deities also did as they pleased, using humans as playthings, pawns and pets. No real morals at all.

Being a Viennese I have always been amused by the movie because the actual "Spear of Destiny" also known as the "Holy Lance", which the prop in the movie is an exact copy of, belongs to the Imperial Regalia of the Emperors of the Holy Roman Empire (later Austrian Empire), which are kept at the Imperial Treasury in the Hofburg palace here in Vienna, Austria. 😁😁😁

The blade that many people claim to be the Holy Lance is in Vienna. Other so-called "Holy Lance" relics exist in other cities.

@@Stogie2112 I know that there are a couple of them (just like dozens of so called crucifixion nails). I just find it funny that they used the one from Vienna as their model. It might be the most iconic one.

Based on your reaction to this, I have to break my superstitious ban against The Exorcist and watch your reaction to it. I've never seen you make those faces before and it was awesome. I have been a long time fan of this movie -- thank you so much for your reaction! To answer your question about how it was received, if I remember correctly critics didn't like it, general audiences didn't know what to make of it, and devotees of the graphic novels despised it -- and still do. I, however, couldn't care less about all that and I didn't even really enjoy the TV series, which is supposed to be much closer to the original character and story. I like this story and this John Constantine and would happily see another if they make one.

The first of 6 films to be based on DC's Vertigo imprint, released months before Batman Begins and the directorial film debut of Francis Lawrence (Hunger Games, Iam Legend). John Constantine is among the most beloved anti-heroes of the supernatural realm. Originally a British character based on legendary artist, STING. His earlier comic series was called "HELLBLAZER" and the movie's plot is from the 'Dangerous Habits' storyline. Constantine has interacted with other DC characters. But his love/hate relationship with Lucifer Morningstar is just as constant in the bigger scheme of things. Keanu Reeves got the role when originally It would've been Nicolas Cage, who went on to be another supernatural hero, Marvel's Ghost Rider, who Keanu Reeves had actually wanted to play since childhood. British actor Matt Ryan portrayed Constantine (2014-2021) between live-action television and animated films, did pretty well too. Back in 2020, It was announced that Keanu Reeves will return as Constantine and so will director Lawrence.

It doesn't stay at all close to the "Hellblazer" graphic novels. John Constantine is English and blonde, based either on Young Americans era Bowie or Billy idol. He's an occultist, some would say a wizard, but not damned in the way portrayed in the movie, which is good but not Constantine. There was an early 2000s TV series which portrays him much more accurately (well worth a look in) and he turns up in DCs Legends of Tomorrow and in the Justice League Dark animated movie. He first appeared as a kind of metaphysical teacher for Swamp Thing in the Alan Moore era of those comics.

One of my guilty pleasures. To be fair, it's a pretty decent flicks and if you like this sort of thing. check out The Prophecy with Christopher Walken as the Arcangel Gabriel and Vigo Mortinson as the Devil. Very similar feeling but I think The Prophecy is a bit more creepy. Devils Advocate is also another good film.

Great reaction. It's a really fun movie. Best depiction of the devil in film I have seen. A Perfect Circle made a single for this movie, which you hear briefly in the club scene. Probably one of my favorite bands. 13th Step and Eat the Elephant are two very noteworthy albums of theirs, if you're curious.

Awesome reaction to an even awesomer movie!!! Saw this movie in the theater when it first came out and thought that it was OK. Bunch of years later found this movie in a Wal-Mart bargain bin for about $5, so bought it. Been watching it ever since and it just keeps getting better and better. Anyway, check out the following movie that has a similar theme: LEGION
