FTR: Satan pulled the cancer out of his lungs in that scene. He forced Constantine to survive so he'd have another shot at corrupting his soul.

"This was a box office low point in Reeves's career" "I loved playing the character Constantine, I'd love to do a sequel." - Keanu Reeves

"Ah yes, stories of angels and demons often have dragons in them" *Laughs in book of Job*

My favorite part of that ending is they established John couldnt control his fingers well after he cut himself so the middle finger was most likely god.

TLDR this comment section: *"I disagree, I really like Constantine."*

I disagree about Peter Stormare. He was an excellent Satan.

Constantine killed himself intentionally at the end. Because throughout the movie it has been stated couple of times that the Devil himself will come after his soul

“Dragon’s breath.” Dragons are referenced in the Christian Bible for sure. Satan is often referred to as, “the great dragon,” as well as the, “original serpent.”

5:19 Actually, there are dragons documented in the Bible. Mostly referring to Satan, but still, dragons (EDIT) Sweet Mercy, I didn't expect all these likes.

I actually really liked the style in this movie. "John Constantine. Asshole."

Actually, Dragon's Breath is an actual type of bullet. Usually, it's loaded into shotguns and fires off a 100 foot line of ACTUAL F*CKING FIRE.

"What bible did you reference? The Hobbit?" lol... well, to be fair, the devil is called the dragon in several places within the bible.

Fun Fact: The book of Revelations in the Holy Bible indeed has a dragon in it.

NC: When did this guy turn into the most awesome actor alive? Keanu Reeves: You’re the most awesome actor alive!!!

"Ah yeah, dragon! What Bible did you read?" The one which religion got a saint named George who killed a dragon?

Dad jokes feel like an eternity? That reminds me of when I ate a clock... it was time consuming

**Hesitantly raises his hand...** I actually liked this movie...

Um, Critic, the devil often referred to as a dragon. Even taking the form of one.

IRL Keanu is actually Reclusive. Unlike most Celebs he doesnt Live in the Spotlight, he mostly keeps to himself

The hilarity of the Bill and Ted joke accidentally being a prediction is awesome

While we are on the subject on Keanu Reeves, The Matrix came out 20 years ago 😯 Whoa!

Peter Stormare's Lucifer is definitely one of the best parts of the movie

"Is it Bill and Ted 3?" Well took a while, but it is now!

I can rewatch this awesome movie solely for the sake of that awesome scene, where he flips satan off.

I don't care what anyone says lmao, I genuinely enjoyed Constantine and have seen it multiple times by now :shrug:

This is literally the 8th person Keanu Reeves has played who's named John

I’m surprised how much people don’t like this movie, it had accurate demonology and interesting supernatural lore in it, pretty good SGI for its time, epic design for the demons, Keanu acted his part very well as a jaded and hardend demon hunter, and the movie was just 10 tons of pure badass

Constantine is an awesome movie. Beautifully filmed and cool as hell.

When he made the "get out of hell free card" joke all I was thinking was "Does he know that's an actual thing in DC?"

This is probably one of the few times I have to disagree with you critic, This is an enjoyable film

Holy crap... I finally remember where I got two frogs on a bench from. Every time for the last decade or so when someone has asked me to "just say anything" I would always say "two frogs on a bench" but I could never remember where I'd gotten that image from... well played Constantine, well played.

I seriously love this movie. And I love Keanu in anything he does. I will fight anyone who disagrees!

Two takeaways from the comments: There is actually dragon references in Christianity and Constantine is more appreciated than the lovely critic realized.

"Stories of Heaven and Hell... often have dragons in them." You'd be surprised; look up Saint George, or specifically, Saint George the Dragon Slayer.

I liked constantine. I didn't read the comic so I didn't have the "THE BOOK WAS BETTER RAAAWWRRR" nerd rage.

1: I liked this movie 2: Your video made me laugh, as usual 3: His hair...that's what made him a star. He grew his hair

Goddamn, Tilda Swinton is always so... androgynously attractive in every movie. Like David Bowie and Annie Lennox.

This is a bad movie? I thought people loved this film. *Reads comments* Oh, I was right.

I know for a fact that Keanu Reeves has always been an awesome actor.

I have to say Shia LaBeouf made an amazing comeback in the movie “Peanut Butter Falcon.” You can just tell he put 100% into that movie. Don’t let the name fool you, it’s by far one of the most impactful stories with a valuable lesson to teach. Especially to those who are considered autistic or mentally challenged.

What Bible did you reference that had dragons in it? "...And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red DRAGON, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." ~Rev 12:3 Edit: Oh, nevermind. Literally everyone beat me to it.

In Russian localization Keanu sounds more interesting. The Constantine is pretty popular over here))

I don't think this is stated in the movie, but for me it makes sense that the devil canceled the apocalypse because deep down, he's scared of the final battle, he sees very possible that he will lose it, which leads to him postponing it indefinitely and humankind always living on the promise of a final battle that will never come.

You know generally speaking this was one of the best DC movies ever made

5:18 Dragons are mentioned at least 35 times by name in the bible...

I know Constantine didn't do that well and it was a fair departure from the comic books. That said, I still really enjoyed that movie.

I value this movie for the amount of tilda Swinton. She is sooooo good in this movie~

People really confuse liking something with that thing being actually good.

I fundamentally disagree with you, Doug. I found this film dark and fun and goddamn underrated. BTW, Constantine was flipping off Lucifer, not heaven.

5:19 There actually *ARE* dragons in the Bible. It doesn’t say it directly, but it does say something along the lines of “the scales on its back are like rows of shields . . . From its mouth go flaming torches . . . Etc.”

I was a teen when this came out, it became like a family movie for me, my brother who was a baby at the time, frigging loved this movie and other movies with creepy themes, which was weird to me, but horror comforted him XD and my family loved the movie

You're on a lonely forest road in the middle of the night. Suddenly your car makes a loud noise and it stops working. You're in a dead zone so your cell phone is useless. You can only wait for another car to come by so you can hitch a ride. An hour goes by... there hasn't been another car... "Ten." You thought you heard something outside. You step out of your car and look off into the dark. "Hello?" You call out... you can only hear crickets chirping. You turn to get back into your car. "Nine." You whip around again. "Who's out there?!" The crickets seem even louder now. "Eight." You get back in your car and lock the doors. You heart is beating a little faster and you have goosebumps "Seven." You can't tell where it's coming from, why is it counting? "Six." You can see it... there is a figure in front of you moving through the shadows. Slowly, almost fearfully you reach to turn your headlights on. The dark road is illuminated and... nothing... "FIVE!" It's in the back seat!!! You shove open your car door and run into the night! "FOUR!" the crickets are deafening now. Your heart is pounding in your chest and you can hear it behind you. "THREE!" The crickets are screaming now. The whole forest is screaming and you have to get away! "TWO!!!" You trip and sprain your ankle, tumbling down a hill. But when you reach the bottom all the noise is gone, the forest is absolutely silent... You turn back to look for your pursuer. Pulling out your phone and turning on the flashlight... the forest is quiet... "One." It's right behind you. Every instinct tells you not to turn around... but you must... you must look at it... You turn and see... Shia LaBeouf!

Peter Stormare was an INCREDIBLE Devil. I would say he is the BEST out of all.

comment section 50% i liked the movie 50% there are dragons in the bible

Bad review. This movie is about the Sun (John) traveling on the ecliptic. All twelve constellations are represented, in order, starting with Cancer; the girl in a crab like position on the ceiling. Then Gemini, the twin sisters. Then Taurus, the cows/bulls falling in the field. See if you can spot the other 9.... The Moon, that also travels on the ecliptic, is represented by Gabrielle, she only appears at night. Gabrielle actually greets John by saying "hello Sun".

I've seen Constantine so many times! I loved it! I believe it's truly underrated!

I love this film. I think it's a dark fantastic well acted and written/directed Constantine film.

Sorry but I like Constantin and I like Reeves in Constantin. A lot of these jokes don’t land for me because I don’t agree with the base premise.

Highschool dxd is a story of angles, demons, and exorcism with dragons

I really love Constantine, no matter what you say

I enjoyed this movie so much, I wish Constantine teamed up with Hellboy!

Apparently this is one of Keanu Reeves' favorite roles. He's said he'd love to do a sequel..

6:03 Well you're in luck there Critic

I really hope john Constantine gets another shot on the screen He's an awesome character

“Are you there, God? It’s me, John.” “Which one? You play a John in every other movie.”

I really enjoyed Constantin. I liked almost everything about this movie.

This is not the way I should have found out Constantine had an after credit scene this whole time.

I remember back in 2005 a friend of mine and i talked a Lot about the (back then) new trend of making comic movies, back then EVERYBODY was trying to figure out how should be done, You know, that first spiderman trilogy, Hellboy, Daredevil, Blade, You name it. For sure a lot of those were trying to capitalize in the shoes of X Men and Batman Begins, but nobody was sure of to hit the nail on it. Now, for a bit of context, my friend was more sided with mainstream popular comics, he liked Spiderman, Iron Man, Batman. That stuff. I was more on the author comics, i love Hellboy, the Alan Moore work, the metabarons, Sandman, transmetropolitan. More experimental things. So back then there was The Punisher movie. I knew it was bland and not very in line with the source material but i did enjoy it, but my lad HATE IT. He said stuff like "that is not Punisher" and the producers ruined it by trying to make Frank a nice guy. And i was like "Dude, chill. Hollywood works like that. They will never make a 100% true adaptation if that means no money for them. Sometimes you got to accept what you get". Later we both watched Constantine (that of course being me a Moore fan i was especting) and... I finally understand him. One thing is doing a more open movie for the public and another is to take a household name for a few cheap bucks. The Hellblazer comics are NOTHING like the movie and in some cases i get that the movie can be made just with solid elements of the comic and not taking a direct story line (like Hellboy, that mixes different small plots of the comic with a few new characters to do his own take but respecting what the comic is about) and the sad thing is that i get that there's some works that are not suitable for a Big ass movie so you kinda have to rework certain aspects in order to make a more entertaiment film... But why change Constantine that Much? Didn't the comic have enough good elements to work with and do a pleasant film for fans and new viewers? Why Chas is John's apprentice? Chas is a friend of John and his driver, he was never his pupil (not Even the fucking name is correct) why didn't make the plot about the demons fighting for John's soul? Why Papa Midnite is so weak? The guy is practically inmortal and excuse me who the fuck are those other characters? Far as i remember just John, Gabriel, Chas, Papa Midnite and Lucifer (that vague devil at the end) are in the comics, Where's Nergal, Epiphany, Gemma, Angie, Astra? Seriously, this movie could set a precedent on how to do a mature complex comic into a movie and what we got is just a watered down version of a great comic.

I thought this was the best Devil representation in film I've ever seen

20:40 I LOVED Peter Stormare's Devil in this movie. He was a total evil blood-dripping movie monster. But he was in a suit. And funny. And basically, what Ultimate Evil should be. My favorite Evil moment is a little one. Constantine has slit his wrists to die. He tries to light a last cigarette, but he cut the tendons in his wrists so his hands don't work. Satan lights his cigarette, but right before he does, as Constantine is leaning forward weakly to light it, Satan pulls the lighter away. Just for a second. It was such a perfect moment of The Devil being a total dick. Like, even there, he can't pass up an opportunity to be evil. Loved it. You also never mention that John Constantine is very English and very blonde in the comic books.

Ya know, I wasn't super into this movie when I first saw it soon after it was released on video. Took me several years to realize Constantine was a comic book character, as I wasn't super-deep into DC at the time. Lots of things not really well fleshed out, but a decent premise for the movie I think

21:48 He pulled the tar out of his lungs, undoing decades of smoking-related damage. Can't believe I went through 1,000 comments and not one person pointed this out and the NC himself didn't even understand it. I even think they mention it IN the movie.

NC: WHERE are there Dragons in the BIBLE???!!!! The Comments: IMMA HAVE TO STOP YA THERE CHIEF!!!

to be honest I actually liked this movie. It's not that bad. but it's somehow not really a service to the character.

There is one line from Constantine that has been stuck in my head for ages. "Fire? I was born of this!" Is a good line for a guy from hell being lit on fire.

I just noticed the taxi's numbers, very subtle. 3393 'If you see angel number 3393, the message relates to the field of relationships and hobbies and says that You acted wisely having opened your soul to the world, having ceased to demand visible and tangible benefits from it. From now on, nothing will prevent you from doing only what your heart draws you to'

NC: "this movie sucks" The internet :" that's where you're wrong, buddy 😎👉👉"

I liked this movie. It wasn’t anything like the comics.. but it wasn’t terrible.

I mean, there are literally about three mentions of dragons in Revelation alone, so....

Dragons are actually kind of prominent in the Tanach: The snake of Eden, the leviathan. There might also be dragons in hell and heaven. Maimon is a very common surname in Israel, so I kinda find it hilarious? Like, I expect someone to say “Maimon! Where you put dragon fire?! We need for exorcism, ken? Never mind! I find Uzi. We good.”

Just gonna throw this out there, Dragons are totally mentioned in the Bible.

constantine is amazing, nothing like the hellblazer comics but still deserves a sequel

22:38 - aged like a fine wine

BTW about what Doug says at 21:45, Lucifer drags Constantine back by removing his cancer hence canceling his death. He is not just doing it by "deviling" as the video says... That's one thing to not like a movie, it is another thing when you can't pay attention or understand... It is called idiocy !

Dragons are actually referenced in the Judeo-Christian Bible.

5:13 Critic: "Which bible has dragons in it?" The entire Christian community: "the book of revelation..."

Dropping a Cross in Water in Order to Turn it Into Holy Water Works as Long as You Know The Proper Latin Spell Just Ask John Winchester

Well, to be fair Shia is having a bit of a comeback with two incredible 2019 performances

Not going to lie, I actually really like this movie and was wondering if Critic would ever review it.

Fun fact: the bathroom scene was borderline genuine. The director asked Keanu Reeves to hold Rachel Weisz a little bit longer and she thought she's really fighting for her life.

When the movie came out I was unaware that it was based off of a comic book character. Then, when I found out it was, I noticed immediately that they messed up the story so bad. Constantine is British person and lives in the UK. By making him an American living in LA, they seriously messed up the character. They didn't even show him using magic and had him using only devices and partaking in primarily Christian related characters. The real Constantine, though a collector of magic artifacts, used magic a lot being a sorcerer. And he fought other sorcerers, magic users, and paranormal magic characters in addition to demons.

Fun Fact: Balthazar (the "Finger licking good" guy) is played by the lead singer of Bush.

Also it was explained in the movie that particular cross can bless any liquid into holy water

I wish doug wouldnt hate everything. Constantine is actually pretty good.

I never get tired of Doug's Keanu impression :).

This is actually one of the best movies in my collection.

What kind of weed are you smoking critic? This movie is highly enjoyable!

I was hoping since tomorrow is 4th of July that the Nostalgia Critic was going to review Independence Day 2

I wish Constantine was more like...Constantine. John Constantine is funny, smug, and a bastard. He walks into apokolips when he feels like it. He's tricky, and nobody can trust him. He's not annoyingly dark and bland.
