One of my favorite movies. Thanks for the additional insight. Well done

[@SteveDCM]

Oh no guys I think cinema is stixing again

[@fraaz_k]

its always the cinema you stix along the way

[@bovanshi6564]

Best part of this video was when he said "it's stixin' time" and he stixed all over the place

[@thegrunbeld6876]

​@@bovanshi6564I can't stop stixing when he stix it in!

[@TheGhostFLA]

This made me giggle. Just thought I’d share lol

[@Radical.420]

I loved this movie, thanks for the video. Peter Stormare and Tilda Swinton's performances are amazing.

[@NateHatch]

I've almost never rewatched superhero movies, even when I liked them and I even grew up on DC and Marvel, but I've seen Constantine once a year ever since it came out. It's such a good film. I wish he made more of them, if only to have more of Peter Stormare as the Devil, God what a performance.

[@jahniedez6834]

GOD, I love this movie! Great insights! I didnt realize there was a post credits scene until now...

[@fourlights]

Stunning Michelle Monaghan

[@The_Mad_Chef78]

This movie is criminally under rated. It is one of my favorites

[@taltonfiggins38]

I feel like Danny is doing a round-up of everything I've always felt about so many films. He gets it.

[@tomchester3229]

First time I was surprised seeing Michele Monaghan in just one scene for a couple of seconds... I thought how the hell you're getting such an actress and put her for so small amount of time. Watching additional content on the bluray explained everything.

[@helline9]

Peter Stormare & Tilda Swinton as Lucifer and Gabriel is just amazing!! Their acting in the film alone is enough reason to watch it.... and re-watch it.

[@Steven-vo5nu]

We need to get this man to a million subs asap

[@CinemaStix]

I won’t stop you.

[@litlclutch]

Constantine is one of my favourite movies of all time, this was a great experience getting more insight into ho wit was made.

[@ran_braden]

Gabriel's little speech about bringing humanity horror so they can rise above it inspired me as a writer. If you bring people to their lowest letting them soar feels twice as sweet.

[@KhronicD]

It's an interesting point, especially given the way so many shows and movies have been written and made in more recent times. It seems that many creators have forgotten that there needs to be give and take in a story to make the watcher identify with a character. If you write a character so that they never experience any lows, the highs never feel as high. While a story about an obviously overpowered character who never has any downsides can itself be a good story, not every story benefits from that sort of thing. People identify with things they're familiar with, even in ridiculous out-there sci-fi and fantasy stories.

[@KeisonMibute]

I find it so fascinating, the whole movie process. One guy has a vision, and it morphs and spawns and regurgitates in the minds of so many others to become something more, something with form where once there was only the slight scent of a vapor. To be a writer and see their words transformed on film, must be the most incredible thing ever. I will never stop loving movies.

[@aga3852]

Children, this is why we can't have nice and different things. Because fans who can't experiment and appreciate different yet still great pieces of work who diminish any creativity. Exhibit A.

[@Dracale]

Just found this and thank you. This is one of my favorite movies. Everyone did fantastic in it and the director did such a good jobs with the edits. That ending scene though, they make you think he's going to light a cigarette and puts gum in his mouth instead. Just hits so nicely. I hope they make a second one especially after the clip that went around of them asking Keanu if he could make any sequal, it would be this one.

[@themanhimself6620]

Dope eassy as always danny.

[@CinemaStix]

Thank ya kindly!

[@mikaelbiilmann6826]

Never watched this movie. I like Reeves, Weisz and Peter Stormare, so will check it out.

[@djkairos4667]

Yes! Love Constantine 😍

[@Xlr8UrL1f3]

Makes me want to watch it again. Great work.

[@princecharon]

Constantine is one of those film adaptations that would have been received better if they'd just dropped the 'adaptation' part entirely, and made it its own thing.

[@MaleusMaleficarum]

Meh. It's still a comic book movie. It holds to the story... he is just no longer English, or blonde. Lol

[@ShaunHensley]

I don’t think most people at the time realized it was an adaptation

[@ReinoldFZ]

You have Tim Burton's Batman to know that author versions can be popular even if they don't stick to anything in the comic books. The MCU is different from the comics and it was not only immensely popular, but at the same time they didn't increase comic book readership.

[@lenakataeva7525]

I didn't know it was a comic book based movie when I watched it for the first time, few years later it came out

[@lynnie11000]

This movie is so sleek and simple. It's very subtle and cool. One of my favorites.

[@inventgineer]

Michelle Monagham must have been pissed 😅 -going from one of the biggest secondary characters to not being in the movie at all, really lol.

[@Patrickisat]

This Constantine was cool. I liked it. But i friggen love Mat Ryans Constantine and wish it got a second season, that could have been friggen amazing. I also love that he does the VA work for Constantine. The Justice League Dark where he teams up with Batman is also friggen awesome. Batman's "Boo" made me laugh. "He can see me??" Lol

[@supermahmoud]

I think Keanu is trying for a sequel, he loves to revisit the character

[@patfer1189]

And he should. Constantine was a completely underrated movie that has aged extremely well.

[@heathercontois4501]

The final cut of the movie is awesome. The book stull has John come across as lonely because its the book. We get the quiet parts.

[@eduardoalfonso3765]

Oh, no 0:19 I have woke up from nightmares, many many times. But never this way. When I wake up having a spasm (due to an awful nightmare) I feel as if I was compressing myself against the bed, which is completely different from what we see in movies. Have any of you woke up (from a nightmare) like in the movies? Just wondering, because this thing is in SO many films. For me this looks so artificial. Please directors. script writers, etc, stop it.

[@hercheshiresmile-1321]

Usually my eyes just snap open and I either sit up to make my body stop panicking or I roll over and curl tighter in a ball lol. But I don't believe I've ever dramatically shot up gasping. Even when I have woken up crying lmao

[@Desertfisher]

Please let's not talk about nightmares, I wake up like that when drowning or suffocating in the nightmare... but most other nightmares it's just wake up and contemplate some times I try to fall back asleep to see how it ends.

[@alysondavy2485]

When I was kid I had some really disturbing nightmares for some reason and I did sometimes wake up like that.

[@eduardoalfonso3765]

@@alysondavy2485 Oh! I am sorry to hear that

[@kjarakravik4837]

I've woken up like that twice in my life and both times were terrifying because my heartbeat was going so fast that my chest hurt and I couldn't breathe. Don't even remember the nightmare though, and I wonder if it was a medical thing

[@pezr6336]

@4:39, the scene where all demons turn around when constantine enters the room, is used twice but flipped in two different moments in the movie
