The film stars Keanu Reeves as John Constantine, a cynical exorcist with the ability to perceive and communicate with half-angels and half-demons in their true forms and to travel between Earth and Hell. …
While it received mixed reviews from film critics, it has since garnered a cult following in the years following its release.[10] In 2022, a sequel was announced and is currently in development.
The film story was adapted from a comics arc by Garth Ennis, who is a damned good writer. The arc is Dangerous Habits – there’s a lot more to it than what’s in the film, interested people can find it in trade paperback.
But yeah, this version of the character isn’t British and doesn’t look like Sting. I didn’t mind though, I don’t know what Alan Moore thought of this movie, but it’s nothing to look down on. Tilda Swinton, Shia LaBeouf, Djimon Hounsou, Gavin Rossdale, Peter Stormare, they all do a great job. And Keanu is Keanu.
The version of hell is especially interesting, I hope they show more of it, if the sequel comes off.
On a recommendation I read the novelization of the movie and it goes into a lot more detail on several elements and was a really great read.
he hates all comic book films, so I’m sure he hated it.
