@@shademoriq Interesting theory, but wouldn't Constantine have known with his powers? But Chad did indeed die though since we saw him die then by the end become a full angel.

[@StormhavenGaming]

@@shademoriq If he was a half-breed, Constantine would have known. It's possible that he knew but didn't say anything, but that seems unlikely for this portrayal of the character. My take on it is that heaven needed to replace Gabriel and Chas was a worthy successor.

I don’t care what anyone says about it or how it’s not comic accurate, I absolutely adore this movie and I’m glad the sequel is in the works. Recommend checking out The Devil’s Advocate (1997) starring Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves

[@shadowproductions969]

love how it portrays his power in this though to me the best and most accurate (in the beginning anyway) portrayal of Lucifer was in season 5 of Supernatural with Mark Pellegrino. He never lies but he twists the truth to make you believe what he wants. He's a fallen archangel and not a demon and is jealous of humanity.. pretty Bible accurate

Best moment was Constantine flinching in horror from Lu. Of all the horror, gore, misery, and destruction John sees (and is unphased by), he knows exactly what's under that white suit.

[@thedarkstarr11]

Also, Lucifer wearing white makes TOTAL sense, as he WAS the Morningstar, one of the first angels before the fall. The whole...red devil thing...is an artist's rendition of him. He'd look no different than anyone else, and remember...According to scripture, Lucifer thought HE was the good guy in the beginning. It's a really cool touch on the part of the director and writers. Plus, Peter Stormare is just chilling in the role. Awesome.

[@Do0msday]

My goodness, I love this movie. I remember borrowing the DVD from Netflix in the mail and I probably watched it half-a-dozen times in a week. There's just something about this movie that feels so gritty/dirty and sprinkles in the supernatural without overdoing it. I think it does a great job keeping the movie grounded as much as possible with the higher elements it contains. And Stormare in the white suit is just perfect. He really did do such a good job being flat out...creepy. The parts where he sticks his tongue out or wouldn't light the cigarette stand out. He's a creepy tease one moment, but the next he's busting down doors and knocking down angels. I cannot wait for the sequel to this gem.

[@garytyme9384]

If you watch for the after credit you would have seen Chaz become an Angel.

[@Fantomex.]

13:40 the cat is supposedly a guardian of the underworld, they share the same realms, it can act as conduit for someone like Constantine to gain access to hell while its still alive of course, summoning someone from hell is a bit different and messy. The water however is so he didn't burst into flames

[@garmisra7841]

I liked this movie even though it's not really faithful to source material, it's got a great cast and a pretty creative story. But the character of John Constantine in his original incarnation as the cynical Hard-boiled Scouse magician/con man is a unique thing in Comics. It's a shame that the Matt Ryan series didn't succeed on it's own terms. But at least the Keanu film brought more awareness to the character. Still holding out hope for Guillermo Del Toro's Justice League Dark! The comic book storylines written by Delano, Ennis, Mike Carey, and the character's appearances in the Sandman stories are really defining. Matt Ryan has also been doing a great job voicing John Constantine in the appearances in the DC Animated Universe (Justice League Dark/Apokolips)

[@strawberrylotlizard]

Yeah they really did their own thing but they they knew their job

[@kuromiLayfe]

not sure about inaccuracies to the comic version as they put all manor key aspects of the character in. Cynical, brooding, selfish and very very knowledgeable about the occult and dark arts.. they had to cram lots of that in 90 minutes or so.

[@Jarcovancapelleveen]

There’s another version of John Constantine played by Matt Ryan. He had his own show witch got canceled after one season. The character later reapeard in one episode of the show Arrow and later in one episode of Legends Of Tomorrow. In season 4 of Legends he became a series regular untill season 6. Then he was never seen in The Arrowverse again.

[@hellomark1]

Matt Ryan was hands-down the best comic-accurate version of Constantine, I'm sad the show only had one season. But I do enjoy this as an alternate version, and I do hope they can eventually make the sequel.

This movie got a ton of flak from the comic book community back when it came out because it diverged from the comic so much, but as a fan of the comics I didn't mind considering there's always changes made when adapting comics for the screen. Taken on its own merits this movie is excellent, and there's rumors of a sequel in pre-production as we speak.

[@ariadnepyanfar1048]

For early Keane Reeves there is Dangerous Liasons, a movie that went huge despite being an historical film, starring John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeifer and young Uma Thurman. It’s a really fun tragedy, and won Glenn Close an Oscar. Then for a Fantasy movie that went unusually huge, there is Ladyhawke starring Michelle Pfeifer, Rutger Hauer and a young Matthew Broderick.

Rachel Weisz really is talented, she's so good in this. She and Keanu are also in a VERY 90's cheesy scifi thriller called Chain Reaction. It's not worth a channel reaction, but it's a fun watch for your own amusement. Also watch The Mummy with Rachel and Brendan Fraser if you haven't already, that's genuinely good.

I personally think the pacing was okay since you find / see clues as John does. I wished they spent more time on some of the side characters actually like Chas and Midnite.

The director, Francis Lawrence used to a lot music vids for big artists. He did Hunger Games amongst he many directorial credits. In the comics, John Constantine is English, a Liverpudlian. I would say if you want want to learn more about the character watch the TV series series they did in 2014(which lasted just 1 season), or the episodes DC's Legends of Tomorrow of which he becomes a big part of. As well as featuring in episodes of Arrow and The Flash.

Lucifer's white suit is reflective of the fact that he is an (fallen) Angel. And the feet covered in molten tar thing, is from "Paradise Lost". Also, as Constantine said, he didn't ATTEMPT to "minecraft" himself. He SUCCEEDED! And as Garbriel & Angela both said, he was "trying to BUY his way into Heaven"! So, all his actions, while technically "good" were never "selfless". By the way, it takes more than simply Confessing and ASKING for absolution to be granted Forgiveness. You also have to sincerely Repent your sins. And he was trapped in a "selfish" mindset, so that was impossible for him. (Granted, Fear can do that to a person, and SEEING Hell will definitely instill you with lifelong Fear!) And yeah, the bit of "hinted" sexual humor here was great. I mean, let's be fair, ANY guy Rachel Weiss asks if she has to take off SOME or ALL her clothes, is going to hesitate while considering his answer! LMAO.
