I was introduced to this movie and it's tie-in game, before i was even in school, by my big sister and to this day it's my favourite visual representation of hell.

25:16 it's the necklace he took off the priest at the start of the film. It's kinda like a talisman. It's the reason why the priest got easily "possessed" in a way by the demon and drowned himself with drinks. The priest is very much a psychic which I think is what made him very "stressed all the time" as you put it

It's a great choice. Constantine is a fantastic movie. I actually got to attend the red carpet world premiere (won tickets on local radio). Keanu sat 3 rows behind me and I saw Shia in the bathroom.

I was legit hoping you'd notice some of the cool moments of the movie, but you went past them without the reaction I hoped haha When the dude at the start, the one that gets possessed, moves around... he is always looking around as if someone was behind him. So, when Constantine gets in the chair, we see that every time he did that at the start, he was sensing Constantine looking at him !!! It's an unnecessary yet such a cool addition to how fantastical the world is.

Constantine is such an awesome movie, and it still really holds up today. Peter Stormare's Lucifer is the best performance. For only a few minutes of screen time, you never forget it. When Keanu Reeves was asked about all of his characters and if there was one he'd like to play again, his answer was "Constantine."

One of my fave movies. For taking a deep dive in the heaven and hell play, it doesn't get boring or heavy or like you need more time to explain things properly. Constantine's dryness and cut to the bone way to explain things is wonderful. The cast is just so wonderful. Lucifer is scary as fuck. And Tilda as Gabriel...considering that angels are supposed to not have gender...to be both and none at the same time, it's a perfect fit. Also, Chaz pretty much takes Gabriel position as angel.

It was the same year as Batman Begins, the first movie of the transporter series, saw 2, hostel, the 4th harry potter movie, get rich or die tryin' and so on. 2005 was a veeeery loaded year for very good movies. I'm pretty sure that's why it went under everyone's radar. The Horror genre had their peak movies, the comic book fans had batman begins, the action lovers had not only Transporter but also many many many of today's classics. If you check movies from 2005 you'll instantly see why this movie went completely forgotten until today's time. + Endless amounts of people watched this movie on pirated websites. Nowadays especially in europe you hardly find any pirate websites to watch movies because of an annoying law. Once constantine had been shown on TV or anywhere else it got recognized instantly. Also Keanu's huge roles with John Wick must've brought people to his older movies.

John in the comics is a blond Liverpudlian who lives in London, looks a little like Sting from "The Police" Keanu was PERFECTLY cast. All jokes aside, he did a great job with what he was given.

BTW, Keanu Reeves has stated multiple times that he'd LOVE to do a sequel to this! Its also funny you said Nicolas Cage would be great as Constantine, because for a time they were considering Reeves to be the new iteration of Ghost Rider in the MCU!

PLEASE READ MY COMMENT. Hello Chris and Altaf! My name is Lucas and I'm from Brazil. I recently discovered your channel and I just LOVED it! I watched some of your videos and came to this one. And that's what I wanted your attention on. This movie was one of my stepfather's favorites, who raised me and I miss it so much. We watched this movie NUMEROUS TIMES, and we still always had a good time. But today I had a surprise, I didn't know about the existence of this post-credit scene... And I don't think my father knew either... At first I was very sad, because he left without knowing that his favorite movie had a secret ... But now I feel that through me, and also through you, he saw firsthand something new from his favorite movie. I just wanted to leave here for you my gratitude for this moment.

This movie was great! The casting, the cinematography, all of it. I love what they did to Gabriel(Tilda) Angels are genderless if I'm not mistaken and Tilda is the perfect fit for it. Her looks are on point.

I am so glad that you both are doing this film! I really hope you do Speed Racer soon! ALSO... COLUMBO...COLUMBO!!!!

It feels like it's been ages since there has been a movie release that has just been straight up cool like a lot of things from this era. Just straight up fun, for adults but with some of that magic "I'm watching a movie and I love it" feeling from childhood too (just more jaded). Also, I worked at a cinema when this came out and we gave out free temporary tattoos like Constantine's forearm tattoos with every ticket. It was such a blast and seeing how much fun people had with it was awesome.

Great reaction guys. Constatine is a fantastic "dark" movie. It came out during a decade of similarly occult toned movies (Devil's Advocate, End of Days, 9th Gate, etc.) and the start of quality comic book-based films. That perfect conflux gave us Constatine. It isn't fully faithful to the source material, but what we got was amazing. Glad you watch it.

The film is a BIG departure from the comics but is still very solid and fun to watch. John Constantine in the comics uses much more magic, less "parafernalia weaponry" even though it does have artifacts and weapons and such. In the comics Constantine is pretty sure to live a long life because he has sold his soul to THREE different demon lords so until they decide who deserves it more he's pretty much safe-ish

This movie drops so many clues to Chaz's secret ANGELIC nature, like... John treats Chaz like crap because he knows what he is. (With the same distane he treats Gabriel.) Chaz can see the demon in the mirror that drops on his taxi without being effected by it. (He sees it as the mirror first flies out of the window face down then it flips over.) Chaz can't get into the neutral club because he's not neutral. Chaz knows tons of demonic lore. Chaz made the Holy shotgun shells. Chaz blesses the water. (Only Holy people can bless something.) Chaz blesses the woman with a prayer and is then killed. And according to biblical lore humans can go to Heaven but they CAN'T become Angels. So Chaz appearing as an angel literally means he was one the whole time. Now, if you rewatch the movie, knowing this about Chaz ahead of time, you'll see it all more clearly.

Watching y'all watch some of my fav movies has been a great way to relive them. Thanks for the nostalgia, and the new memories!

Yees, love this movie. And we're finally getting a sequel!

In the comic Constantine beats the cancer by convincing the first (Lucifer), the second and the third of the fallen (high level demons of equal strength, opposed to each other) to cure him, because if one of them would get his soul (and it's power) the ensueing infight would weaken all three of them so much that god would win.

The camera angles and shots like how you would view a scene with the mood is amazing. The DVD Special features are a blast, especially about the props, the lighter, gun and brass knuckles, etc.

Things I never noticed till you guys watched this years after I had seen this: The constant crosses. But I also just noticed the crosses on the water jugs in Constantine's apartment. I had always focused more on the water jugs jiggling cos the demons were coming for Angela. But now I noticed the crosses scratched into them. That explains why he has so much water so hell always have a supply of holy water. Also it's kinda apt that Angela is named Angela and it's set in Los Angeles. I ha noticed the pregnant virgin imagery with the way Mamon came through in Angela's stomach and how she felt something in her belly when she got pulled away through the elevators and buildings. But then I noticed that John, Beeman and the priest who are all psychic were never targets of Mamon. But all the women were the psychics that were targeted. The little Chinese girl at the beginning, Isabel and Angela were all female and that the whole prophecy about how the blood of God is needed to birth the son of the devil. The whole birth imagery wis so subtle there.

This movie is like 90% rule of cool. One of my favorite bits about this movie is that no one eats in it- even in the scene where they’re “eating” they just shuffle the food around the plate, or pick it up and put it down. It’s some classic acting choices to deal with multiple takes and the fact that the food was probably cold for most of them.

He actively hates his life, but isn't gonna let some two bit beast kill him. He's hoping he'll get to heaven, but he's cursed to be sentenced to eternal torment doing what he can to help people.

The closest you'll get to seeing Nicolas Cage as Constantine is the movie Drive Angry

Since a ton of other posters have already mentioned the awesomeness of Peter Stormare, I'll refrain from waxing poetic about him in this film and instead bemoan the fact that Gavin Rossdale didn't pursue a side-career in acting after this movie, as he was amazing in it. Seriously, he totally pulled off the sinister and suave villain. Given how big of a role his music played in my teen years it was a bit weird to see him in this movie, but damn me if he didn't kill his part in it!

a movie that definitely had to have a sequel! but, as it happened with other quality movies,... by the way, when I watched the black widow and saw Rachel Wise there, the first thing I thought was: "- she hasn't aged a second since Constantine so far". apparently she has mastered the time-stopping trick!!!

The action is the most out of place aspect when you compare this to the comics. Constantine is a shady, morally ambiguous character, and the work as a whole doesn't neatly fit into a hollywood blockbluster formula. Not trying to take away from the movie at all. Keanu Reeves is always delightful, and the movie has a lot of positives going for it. The ending where Constantine deals with the devil is perhaps the most true to the original set of stories that you get. He's always trying to get more powerful entities to do his dirty work for him. Keep up the good work, guys. I'm loving the reactions!

I always felt this movie had the same campy vibe as the first Mummy movie. They each went hard on their modern portrayal of their genre (noir and adventure pulp stories), and they both ended up having Rachel Weisz, lol. There's just something so charming about the combination of a wild premise and setting, with the show taking itself seriously. Other greats that do that are like Ghostbusters, or Indiana Jones, etc. I know this movie didn't follow the comics perfectly, but it was a great version nonetheless and I hope the sequel does go forward as it really is a fun version of the universe they've set up.

I really love your channel. You 2 are so great and I love your commentary. Keep up the good work dudes

The fact that Keanu wants to do a sequel to this absolute banger of a movie and it wasn’t made immediately is a crime!

Constantine is just incredible. I really hope the sequel is made and that the script is stellar

"We're just finger puppets to them" is a beautiful metaphoric line.

thank you guys, watching it again, with you this N-th time felt almost like seeing it for the very first time again, I've loved your reactions and appreciation of the great cast and the production, thanks! what a movie, eh?

The reason this film is so stylized is because the director Francis Lawrence started out as a music video director like David Fincher who directed "Fight Club" and "Seven" .

Easily one of my favorite depictions of Lucifer; hot damn, does Peter Stormare crush that role. Sure, Constantine gets a ton wrong with the title character, but the world and people in it are so lush and interesting that it isn't hard to overlook where the movie fumbles.

Yeah, we aren't familiar with the comics at all, but from a standalone movie point of view, we enjoyed it very much! I'd love to know the differences between them, though

Actually Keanu played Constantine on point. Sure, he isn't blonde or british, but IMO that isn't what defines the character. Keanu nails the personality.

Check out the Hellblazer line of comics, they'll get you acquainted with him quick, fast, and in a hurry, and there are some fantastic stories in there. Keep up the good work, guys.

@@The_RedVIII I'm sorry but he doesn't. The comic John is a selfish ass who deliberately get his friends killed. He regularly freaks out when faced with demons. Keanu's John is a retired action hero cop. He's much too empathetic towards others with too much swagger and confidence.

A better movie than it's rumor suggests. I hope the sequel will happen.

The CGI on this movie still holds up to this day. Better than many marvel movies.

I love this movie! Keanu and Tilda Swinton are amazing!

when asked what movie he'd love to do a sequel for the most, keanu said this. for good reason its such a great supernatural action flick and one of the movies that spurred my crush on tilda swinton, angel tilda is...

I saw this on opening weekend, and to see Tilda Swinton for the very first time in _this_ of all films… it changed me.

I need to rewatch this. The prevailing memory I have of it is "Wow, this was much better than everyone said."

This movie is one of my absolute all time favorites 🖤 Constantine is an amazing character and Tilda Swinton elevates tuis movie to a whole other level 🪽 Im so excited for the sequel

Thx guys for reacting on this Movie. One of my favorites!

Been waiting for a sequel to this movie since it's release! The hell sequences and VFX were done by Digital Domain, while the demons and character make up effects were done by Oscar Winning company Stan Winston Studios.

It all still looks great! Was really surprised how well a lot of the VFX holds up

Even though this version of Constantine is pretty different from his comic version this is still such a great movie. I hear they might be making a sequel to this. Hopefully it will be good.

This is one of my favorite rewatch movies. I first saw it shortly after it was released on DVD and I've lost count of how many times I've rewatched it since. I strongly recommend a rewatch - there are many subtle threads that that you'll catch more of over the course of a couple of watches.

Its a great movie but the series is better shame it only got one series. Matt ryans constantine does appear in some other stuff though.

@@NiceDudeMovieNight definately give it a watch. it is more "like the comic book" in a way. you will see much more of the "noir" feel, constantine is very much a comic book noir

Yes, Chaz Kramer was, in fact, a halfbreed. Remember John called them "influence peddlers"?

Enjoyed watching your reactions it was sweet seeing you both jumping to some of my favorite parts of the movie

Balthazar is played by rock star Gavin Rossdale (lead singer of Bush) and former husband of Gwen Stefani. Also, when I worked at 20th Century Fox, I ran into Peter Stomare (Lucifer) on the lot when he was headed to a costume fitting in the building where I worked. He showed up for the fitting in short-shorts and a My Little Pony tshirt and backpack. Just a wonderful weirdo, I'm a fan. He's done several movies with Keanu.

Well, hence why he showed up in JW2.

god its being 18 years and this movie still goes so hard

And Keanu confirmed that he has been approached for a sequel, which he is very interested in doing.

I’m really enjoying y’alls channel. I’m pretty new to it but I love the content here.

good job there,, is one of my all time favriots movies and i´m happy to hear that Constantine 2 is coming to cinemas 2024

one of my favourite movies of all time. so glad you guys got round to this one :)

Gavin Rossdale ( lead singer of Bush ) coming in during the midnight conversation was such a mind blower.

Such a good movie, and so underrated for so long. I'm really glad we're finally getting a sequel, I just hope it lives up to the stylistic legacy.

Really loved your presentation, great work!

one of the rare cases of hollywood changing the story of a character from dc into a completely different thing and it still being good.

I love this movie, it was so fun to see you guys react to it!

Nice reaction/commentary on the film, Guys. This was a pretty awesome movie. Looking forward to Constantine 2 with Keanu back as John!

Ya'll are fun and I love getting to quickly re watch all these classics!

Saw this in theaters as a kid. Not only do I really fking love Constantine as a comic character, but the line "cats are good. They are half in half out either way." It literally means cats are here around us. But they can also be a hell spawn, or a gods gift. Always saw that as interesting. And I guess I've always seen people like that. Only problem with people? They don't give a shit about anything other than themselves. Love is a joke. You can love someone and cheat. You can love someone and lie to them. You can love someone and block them from your entire life. Nothing matters.
