What do YOU all think of Constantine?🔥 Is it one of the most underrated comic book movies?? Comment below!💥

[@kinyemibola4386]

Love this film so much. Deals with decent religious lore and is funny too!

[@FilmSpeak]

@ Definitely!

[@visurasilva9682]

@FilmSpeak I think the biggest thing the movie does so well compared to modern superhero films is that it doesn't take its world or characters for granted. We've become so desensitised to flying robots and ancient gods battling in famous cities because so many films just phone the world-building in. Very "they've seen this before, so they'll get it" energy. Constantine really takes its time to cement and sell its world and the characters that live in it. It never takes the audience for granted. It really wants you to believe in it. Couple that with some standout performances from some early 2000's icons that were just hitting their stride, and a surprisingly eerie score by the same guy who gave us the Pirates of the Caribbean score? Instant, cult classic perfection! 👌

[@Lilcutiepie95]

It’s a brilliant, genius movie.

[@lauren8135]

I absolutely love this film. It’s just so freaking good. I revisit this one frequently, I think Keanu is kick ass, the concept is interesting, the lore is cool, the stakes are palpable, all the supporting characters are great. I haven’t watched a single John Wick film but I know I will revisit Constantine. I appreciate that you are making the case for it!

ok so without disrespecting to other comments here , All 4 john wick movies are good, 1 is spectacle , 2 is great follow up, 3 is not great compared to first 2 but a great movie nonetheless , and 4 is a great conclusion. i understand others thought process on this 4 movies but they are great movies. They completely changed the action genre where everyone wants the action like john wick, nobody wants to see the shakky cam we all wants a good f action scene where we can see everything that's happening.

[@Ahh-Kuma]

Personally, I think what makes this movie really good is that it allows you to digest the big scenes after they happen. It lets you really think about what just happened while trickling in the next few scenes so that you're not bombarded with too much.

Quiet moments in between action scenes truly is the art which Hollywood lost in the 2010s.

[@hazardsigns]

Better DC movie than any of the actual DC movies. I love Constantine. Everyone involved was clearly invested in the project and the attention to detail is fabulous. I love hearing the director talk about the scene where twin Isabel dies and her pupils dilate, is an absolute joy. Hoping more people check it out with a sequel in the works 🤞🏻

[@Asidchild]

Something I love about the casting of Reaves is knowing some of the most tragic experiences a human can undergo are experiences Reaves has had. The way he taps into the grief, the anger, the contempt, and the exhaustion of a man isolated in his experience of truly unfair circumstances that basically no one can relate to? Damn if that isn’t an actor playing himself.

[@Perceptive-Abyss]

Wow a Constatine review was well overdue. It has struck me that through the memification of most of Keanu's actions, and his distinct method of playing introverted characters, people often regard to his craft as "bad acting" like you mentioned. Which sure, he's not the greatest actor of all time, but he's not the wet cardboard people think he is, especially in his delivery in the John Wick saga, playing off subtlety. And his sometimes stilted delivery seems quite natural for the character, who doesn't speak by words but his actions so it makes sense. People also tend to forget the dedication he puts into his stunts, which is the definitive reason John Wick became popular. Regardless, people argue whether his iconic roles like The Matrix and John Wick could have been so great with him replaced as the lead actor, and the answer being a definitive no warms my heart. He's such a nice guy, and not a lot of people know he's been through quite a lot through his life. He had to deal with the death of his best friend, unborn daughter and girlfriend, and yet he still remains one of the most supportive and wholesome people out there. He doesn't really deserve the hate he gets.

[@tyrellthiel2201]

Reeves and Honsou worked so well together. Papa Midnight is such a cool character

[@minirth.maggie]

[@KirkKiyosadaTome]

[@tygressblade]

One of my favorite movies…In my humble opinion, Keanu makes movies which speak to him. I don’t think that the public is always on his wavelength. Which is ok. And Keanu is such a generous guy he is fine with the criticism. He doesn’t have to worry about his legacy. I see that people are looking back at the films and TV shows from the last 20 years and watching them thru a new perspective. And I am here for it.

Constantine was so awesome. It's a movie I can just pop in and watch whenever, anytime/anywhere. There were so many crazy scenes in that movie, like they were always doing some crazy shit.

P.S. I'm even more excited (hopeful fingers crossed) that they are doing CONSTANTINE 2 as a reemergence of old DC films

[@toolatetothestory]

I didn't even know it was based on a comic back when I first watched the movie. Or the next three times. I just loved this movie as a stand-alone. Still do. Tilda Swinton in a male role absolutely blew my mind, especially since she completely SOLD it. Movies should do that more often. To sum it up, 10/10, best Anti Smoking Commercial I ever watched. (Also omg I think I can actually distantly remember RIPD)

[@slimmccoy8863]

I remember a line from the "Hellblazer" comics, back in the 90's, might not get it exactly right. Constantine : "I don't know why people think angels are beatific. They scare the shit out of me." Tilda Swinton's androgynous look is perfect, and she turns in an excellent performance.

My main problem with this movie, comic, and video is simply how poorly it understand Christianity. They are not tackling Christianity, they're tackling an atheist strawman of religion with Christian aesthetics.

I agree with this, and I am not even fluent in Catholicism. This is definitely an atheist interpretation. The reason that one act is the only irredeemable sin is precisely because it removes any chance of redemption permanently.

9:15 no offense, dude, and I know you're no theologian, but this is just absolutely wrong on so many levels. This is a very, very, shallow view and misinterpretation of the Bible, scripture, and Christianity. It is also not "blindly believing" in something, & Christianity is a relationship with God. I recommend studying more on Christianity even if you aren't a Christian. It's important to understand human world views rather than strawmen, which by nature paint a bad image on a worldview or make those who follow it somehow seem less intelligent for believing and following a world view.

[@Sett86]

Lucifer and Gabriel in this movie are such a delightful subversion of the usual trope. They are both clearly of divine origin, above the everyday concerns of mere mortals, and at the same time they are both fallible to the simplest human vices. It's such a fine line and they both walk it so well! And then there is Constantine, the cynical good guy, and in every scene you can see how Keanu is just a little uncomfortable being the asshole, and it fits John's character perfectly. What a hidden gem this movie is.

[@narcissus.poeticus]

Constantine truly is a masterpiece. The things you mention and the scene examples you show brought another film to my mind, Night Watch, that russian one with the "light" and "dark" magicians in modern time. (Good and evil is not what I said!) In both films you're thrown into a living universe where characters do strange things that need to be done in the way they are usually done for them - and they absolutely don't care to explain to you how and why, you're just watching. I love that, it creates way more immersion than constructing everything so it is explained or even breaking the fourth wall, imho.

This movie Resonated so deeply with me in my young teenage years.

Into the light I compel thee... Sickest thing I've ever seen. Shook to this day from the concept.

I love the day the earth stood still. Was awesome and Constantine I've watched multiple times :) Both great imo :) Nice vid 👍

Yes, I have been saying the same thing for years ever since I watched this movie. My friends circle claimed that the story was boring and lacked any action. But that was the point. It was a game of ideals and wits no action needed. This movie is so amazing I cannot put it into words.

I saw this one on dvd about 2006 or 2007. Liked it so much, i bought it. I had no idea it was a comic adaptation until maybe 2 years ago.
