This movie is criminally underrated and deserved a sequel. Peter Stormare as Lucifer is just perfection.

Its coming the sequel

I think it didn't need a sequel its a redemption story nowadays he will end up as bad as at the beginning

I was at the world premiere of this film as part of a press junket. I had a chance to meet and speak with the cast. Reeves is shy. Weisz was unbelievably beautiful in person. This was back when I was interesting.

I’m sure you’re still interesting 😉 crazy that Keanu is shy, you’d think he was super confident being an actor

[@HyperWolf]

That’s super cool that you got to meet them. The closest I ever got to meeting Keanu was that I went to the baskin robbins in Alameda (where they took the picture of him eating ice cream) a day or so before he did. I’ve noticed a lot of the best actors are shy or reserved in some way. I find that really interesting.

YAY! I've always liked this movie. The visuals are always treat. For me Keanu did a good job. I like both his interpretation and Matt Ryan's version (both live action and animated). For me though, the ending when Lucifer shows is still my favorite and overall favorite depiction of the devil. His entrance with the dripping tar to him like "nope, this not how we play the game here' and the exchanges between Lucifer and Constantine is just great.

[@Lannisen]

A great angel/demon movie is Kevin Smith's Dogma 1999. Unfortunately, it's not available to stream or purchase digitally because of the film's rights being owned personally by the Weinstein brothers but you won't regret buying a copy for viewing 😉

@@kabirconsiders It's on youtube. Maybe because there's nobody to fight for it to be taken down. It's practically impossible to get a copy because it's out of print and nobody can make it. If anything it goes easy on the religion and religiousity in general.

[@seasickviking]

Funny thing is that the reason Peter Stormare's Lucifer said "I Need a Vacation" is because he's referencing the comic that inspired Tom Ellis's portrayal in the tv series "Lucifer". Despite their portrayals being polar opposites, they both did a masterful job depicting the fact that Lucifer doesn't care what humans do with their lives as long as they accept the consequences of their own actions. FUN FACT: The man playing Balthazar is none other than rockstar Gavin Rossdale, leader of the grunge band "Bush".

[@ericcorzan3367]

I saw Keanu asked "What film would you like to do a sequel to?" He said he'd love to play Constantine again. I hope it happens. One of my favorite movies

[@OpenMawProductions]

[@chris...9497]

You more than any other reactor got followed the action and forces almost perfectly! So enjoyable to rewatch this along with someone who can truly follow the film. The only thing: when the priest dies in the liquor store... Yes, he is being denied the alcohol that he needs to shield himself from his psychic vulnerability, but I think the liquid coming out of him is the alcohol already drunk to afford him some shielding is being pulled out of him, leaving him entirely unprotected. His death is either the direct impact of evil and/or the trauma of the alcohol extraction. A shame you didn't see the scene at the end of the credits...

I love that John's ultimate winning move was, "I'm gonna tell your dad." 😂

Constantine is in the same Universe as DC's Netflix Show "Morpheus" and "Lucifer", both characters are in the show "Morpheus" but just in different forms. Instead of John Constantine the character is Joanna.... studio and licensing issues with Netflix using Keanu Reeves... also artist license to change...

I definitely prefer DCs source material over Marvels, just seems cooler and more depth to the characters

Yeah, great movie! I've seen Constantine several times but I had forgotten it was a DC Comics production. I am curious why you didn't watch to read end where Shia's character is given wings and ascends to Heaven, to take Gabriel's place (I believe).

my favorite line is you should believe in the devil, he believes in you

[@meltedplasticarmyguy]

Even though the look and nationality of Constantine differ from the source, this is still a really fun movie, one of Keanu's best in my opinion. In the comics, Constantine is a snarky blonde haired Brit, who studied the occult and dealt with all manners of supernatural not just Heaven and Hell things, but other than that Keanu pretty much nailed it.

[@nightthornkvala94132]

The comic book Constantine's look was based on Sting from the Police. I saw some anger when this movie came out that Sting of a Sting look-alike was cast. Reeves was perfect for this in my opinion.

[@hopswigh]

Keanu Reeves has some AMAZING gems out there bro. One recommendation I'll put forward to you that I haven't seen ANYONE react to: Man of Tai Chi. This is my favorite Keanu Reeves movie of all time. It's a real diamond in the rough that most people have never seen.

[@melissastallings4748]

If you like the character, you should check out the "Constantine" and "DCs Legends of Tomorrow" tv series.

[@Aurich88]

Constantine was from DC's more mature-themed Vertigo Comics before getting rolled into the main DC canon in one of their big reboot events. He's also meant to be British, with his appearance based on Sting.

[@WolfHreda]

For just about any of the darker, more offbeat comics properties, DC had an imprint called Dark Horse Comics. Hellblazer (Constantine), Hellboy, and Frank Miller's Sin City were all published under the Dark Horse brand.

The "spear of destiny" is the spear that was used to pierce the ribcage of christ during his crucifixion by the Romans. After they nailed you to the cross, sometimes they'd stab you in the chest in order to puncture a lung so that you'd suffer more.

[@channingdeadnight]

Yeah but Matt Ryan ended up being the perfect Constantine. Keanu is great in the role but Matt is perfect.

[@kabirconsiders]

Does the spear actually exist? That would probably be the most valuable artefact in the world

[@dennisswainston411]

@@kabirconsiders Before World War II, the Spear of Destiny (more properly known as the Maurice Spear) was exhibited in the Hofburg Museum in Vienna. It attracted the attention of the young Adolf Hitler, who linked it with legends of the Holy Grail and made his own plans to be a man of destiny. The spear held a special fascination for Hitler and his associates in the hothouse atmosphere of occultism and evil philosophies that gave rise to the Nazi plan for world domination. In 1935, Heinrich Himmler had a replica of the spear made and kept it in his private room. Three years later, Hitler led his troops into Austria, the first stage of his plan for world conquest. One of his first acts was to remove the Spear of Destiny from the Hofburg Museum. The spear was buried beneath the Nuremberg Fortress, where it was discovered on the day that Hitler shot himself in the Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945. It was recovered together with other treasures of the Imperial collection. On January 6, 1946, these treasures were returned to the authorities at Vienna, and the spear was reinstated in the Hofburg Museum.
