24:16 Yeah, that actress, Michelle Monaghan. She had a small part but it got cut, leaving only that one shot of her. Basically she’s a demon (well, half-breed) that Constantine has… history with. Spicy history. Hence why he emphasized that he’d deport _all_ of them, meaning her too, history or not. Her cut scene was basically her meeting Constantine, being devilish and flirty, and repeating the plot point that John’s the one soul that ol’ Lucifer would personally collect. So plot-wise little was lost in the cut, tho it’d have been a nice detail to know that Constantine is really mixed up with all these half-breeds, not always deporting ‘em on sight like a Catholic RoboCop. Also, I’ll be pitching Catholic RoboCop to Hollywood, just fyi
I think she was 'Ellie' who had her own little story of falling in love with an Angel, then had a child by him. They came to Constantine for help and the Angel was killed, the baby was taken away and Constantine hid Ellie from everyone.
You gotta love how the Devil was "Nope, you're not going to heaven. I'm curing your cancer and you'll inevitably screw up again at some point and send yourself to hell because you're you."
I don't wanna be THAT guy, but anyone else notice he didn't die because of the cancer in his lungs. (Sure eventually) He died because he bled out from slitting his wrists. So I guess Lucifer replenished his blood and sealed his wounds too. 🤷♂️ What I thought was cool was seeing the color/warmth come back to his skin after taking his first breath with clean lungs. The replentishing of oxygen and blood to his system. Its a nice touch.
@@TrenchToastYeah, technically suicide is a deadly sin and he should have gone to hell anyway regardless of his sacrifice. But since the whole lung cancer thing is a plot point from the comics, they kept it.
In Orthodoxy we have a habit of wishing "May God grant you many, many years!" on one's birthday, this is of two meanings: yeah, we want you around for a long time, but we also want you to have a long time to come to a state of repentance... That the devil would invert this is a really clever detail.
@@jmhacesTo my understanding, suicide is considered unforgivable because you cannot repent once you're dead, your spiritual state is locked in... but John doesn't stay dead. He is alive to repent again, and... if he tried to kill himself to run from the demonic presences around him, that when we meet him he is actively engaged in warfare with the demonic shows repentance. Pretty sure dude's a dick the whole movie for no reason, but that's realistic; people who believe they're damned tend to act like it.
I googled it, it's in the works but it's "unlikely to arrive anytime before 2026" and maybe later according to an article on The Direct from last month.
Keanu has said in an interview a while ago that this is the franchise he wanted to do a sequel for a while. They are FINALLY working on one decades later.
I've read most of Hellblazer and this take of Constantine doesn't even in the slightest annoy me. I'm completely fine with it because it was done so well.
@@Darkpara1 lmao fans of the graphic novel famously hate the watchmen adaptation because hack snyder unsurprisingly missed a fuckload of nuance from it.
Constantine was based on a DC Comic Character. Who was based physically on the singer, Sting. There was talk back in the 80's of making the movie starring Sting, but things didn't move far enough along. The character has shown up in a TV series a few years ago. When the writer, director, and special effects coordinator were coming up with the visuals for Hell for this movie, they considered what the closest thing on Earth would be to Hellfire - they decided on the moment of a nuclear explosion, so that's what they went with for Constantine's vision, that moment forever.
I'm Scottish, I watched this on my own in a random Canadian small town late at night. Most people left and missed the after the credits scene. Loved your reaction. Such an underrated movie.
One of my favourite Keanu movies, that needs a sequel. Peter Stomare rocks up at the end and steals the movie, and 10/10 for Kat checking the after credit scene we all knew was there :)
They are finally doing a sequel, it got delayed due to the pandemic etc. and because Keanu is always pretty busy. But AFAIK it's still coming and in pre-production now.
Constatine is based on a DC Comics series called Hellblazer, created by legendary comic book writer Alan Moore. John Constantine in the comics is actually blonde and British, and was inspired by Sting.
He also deals in magic, with straight up magical powers, whereas this deals strictly in the Christian, or at least Abrahamic, religion, and the bulk of his power comes from religious relics and symbols.
I like this movie. A lot of fans of the character from the comics didn't care for it due to Keanu not having blonde hair, but as for supernatural movies, this one was great.
That's not why they didn't like it. In this, he's an exorcist that's also a reluctant hero seeking redemption and all supernatural elements revolve around catholicism. In the comics, he's a powerful witch doctor that's an antihero who really at the end of the day is just F'ing around and the supernatural elements can be literally anything. Their complaints were that there wasn't much resemblance between the two in terms of character. It'd be like portraying Batman as a vampire. Sure there are some very surface level similarities, but you've fundamentally changed the character too much for it to be recognizable.
@@Hal2718For the record Batman has been portrayed as a vampire. If memory serves it's called something like Batman: BloodStorm or something to that effect. He gets bitten fighting Dracula and the family ends up having to put him down. My local comic store had a huge framed poster of a cover from one it's issues hanging up for years before they went under.
@@Hal2718 I mean in The Comics Constantine`s character constantly vacillated between "Asshole with a secret heart of gold" like in The Film to "Almost as much a scumbag as the demons he fights" depending on who was writing him.
This is a series that's rarely asked for, but "The Prophecy" with Christopher Walken. There's also another character that shows up at the end that I love but won't spoil for you.
I've watched Constantine dozens of times over the years and I never knew there was a post-credit scene! I usually check too, but they wrapped the story so well, it didn't even occur to me there might be one. Thanks for pointing that out! Great reaction vid, Kat!
the real horror of this movie is barefoot Lucifer This is one of my favorite movies. I feel like I say that a lot with your videos but it's true! Any time it's on I have to watch it. Keanu Reeves is such an underrated dramatic actor. Rachel Weisz in this is also amazing. You should watch The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns!
Constantine 2 writer Akiva Goldsman confirmed the sequel "expands on the themes" of the 2005 movie, particularly on "maintaining the barrier between earth and the evil creatures that are on the other side."
For all the talk about how they bastardized the original comic for the sake of the movie adaptation, it is downright WEIRD for a Hollywood flick like this to just refuse to let them kiss haha. The restraint is impressive! As much as I would be totally into it!
Balthazar was played by Gavin Rossdale - Gwen Stefani's ex-husband and lead singer of the band Bush. Best known for their song Glycerine back in 1994. Such a studly man.
I knew him by name and I didn't understand why Gwen Stefani was staying with him after the articles about him cheating on her. Seeing him in this movie... I understood why she forgave him a lot.
You should really watch the TV series Constantine. It was only a partial season before it was cancelled but it was more faithful to the comics and Matt Ryan was perfect. He was so good he was added to Legends of Tomorrow TV series.
If you like this sort of horror set inside Christian mythology, you'd really like The Ninth Gate, great psychological horror with Frank Langella and Johnny Depp. There's also a GREAT show on Paramount+ called Evil, where it's hard to tell if the bad and creepy things that are happening are actually due to demonic forces or if they're explainable by science.
EVIL!!!! The episode where he's trying get himself to concentrate on his studies but his mind just keeps WANDERING (And not always into SAFE territory either 😜) is one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES... It can apply to SO MANY things!
Your reactions are Everything and boy, you did not disappoint! Constantine is one of my favorite movies for so many reasons, all of which you seemed just as thrilled by. Can't wait for whatever you've got coming up next

A lot of Constantine comic fans HATED this film because it was no where near comic accurate. Totally fair as there was studio and budgetary stuff behind the scenes. Matt Ryan is a great comic accurate representation (his short lived Constantine series deserved better than NBC). On its own, this is a great film. It's got tight writing, it keeps pace and feels very noir/procedural-esque. The behind the scenes is very in-depth and it's great to see how much thought and detail was put into the production. Fun fact, the devils costume was actually supposed to be the tattoos you see but black leather pants and a dog collar. Peter Stormare was the one who was like, yeah no, he's a fallen angel; he's got to come correct with the white suit.
am i the only one who winks back when kat winks. yeh i figured. anyway kat please never change you never fail to make my day by making me smile your humour is amazing
Currently suffering from a bad bout depression so this reaction video was a perfect pick me up. Your reactions are witty & hilarious, your a diamond Kat.
Awesome as always, Kat. If you're in the mood for more angels behaving badly, give 1995's The Prophesy a view. It's by no means a good film, but watching Christopher Walken devour scenery for 90-odd minutes is a joy not to be missed.
It only took a few minutes into your reaction, to get me to like and subscribe. It was when he punched the demon during the exorcism. And immediately after you reenacted it again. You're freaking adorable, and I enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite movies. You also gave me something new, I had never seen the end end scene after the credits. I wouldn't have seen it without you. Hopefully you know that A sequel to Constantine is coming out. I hope it has both Rachel and Keanu.
That going to hell scene is amazing. The whole damned film is great. Glad you appreciated it. 'Jacobs Ladder' is another great horror film I'd suggest.
I absolutly love this movie so much! Even if it's nothing like the Constantine comic, it just has an special place in my heart. Also, Peter Stormare's Lucifer has to be one of my favorite of all time.
these two have great chemistry acting together.. they are in another movie you might enjoy but doesn't fit into your horror movie category .. it is a fun action film called "Chain Reaction" ... fun plot and lots of action and yes the real horror was no kiss at the end
I truly, whole heartedly, 100% need to see the 'GUM' scene at the start of every video as an opener if you will ;-) Kat you are so funny in personality and more so facial expressions, you make my evenings gal please keep doing what your doing!
I have thought the same. If I were to guess though, I'd say that if she ever were to respond to something like this, she'd say something along the lines of anything is possible, but in the mean time there are still a lot of horror movies to get through. I haven't seen her respond though and don't know her, so that's just a guess.
If you didn't know there is an after credits scene where Constantine visits Chas's grave and leaves the gold plated lighter on his grave saying he did a good job. As he turns to leave Chas shows up on his grave with wings, in his angelic form and then flies away.
Was waiting the entirety of this EPIC for the real horror of this film, and it did not disappoint. As mentioned below, this film's Lucifer with Peter Stormare and AlPacino's in The Devil's Advocate are absolutely TOP NOTCH. Another film, you absolutely need on your list if reaction video's as it's not only another Reeves blockbuster, but the way he shares screen time with an acting legend in Pacino is "Devilishly" good. (P.S. Mark Pellegrino as the Devil in Supernatural also ranks at the top, except that's a TV series)
If you didn't know, Balthazar is Gavin Rossdale, singer in the band Bush and Ex Husband to Gwen Stefani. I thought he did great in the roll. That "Girl" you saw at the end, Michelle Monaghan. Someone Correct me if I am wrong but John and that Character had some kind of Romance I heard in the Constantine Series.
I don't believe in god and hate the realities of religion, but at the same time, I really like this movie. And as others have said, Peter Stormair plays one of the best devils ever.
I woukdnt classify his as a "horror" movie. This is the fine line between comic book and "horror" kinda like Blade movies. Its a excellent comic book rendition. Constentine is DC comic book character. This movie is a lot of fun!
You must be a mind reader! I really like your channel and I was thinking I’d like to subscribe, but there’s just not enough Keanu Reeves. And then boom! You drop a reaction to Constantine. Congrats on one more subscriber.
I love this movie, saw it several times and been wanting to watch it again, found your reactions made the movie even spicier for me. I will think of your reactions whenever I think or watch it again. :)
Matt Ryan, who plays Constantine in the show, is picture perfect and more comic book accurate. He also nails the role and I hope he continues to play the character in the future. But dispite the changes from the source material, I really like this movie, and Keanu makes a great Constantine too. Kinda how the Lucifer show and the Lucifer comic are both very different from each other *and* very good in their own way.
So definitely Devil's Advocate next! And, Kat, you gotta do The Prophecy! "Holy Smokes, indeed!!!" 😆 🚬 👍 love the casting discoveries! Awesome reaction to roll into it blind!! 🎉 🌌 And Hellboy!
16:24 That tire shop is right near Palm Springs CA, across the freeway in Desert Hot Springs... like 15 minutes from my house. Still love seeing it in the movie.
Hey I was thinking, why did they never do a sequel... googled it, and guess what... IMDB: Constantine 2 "Reeves will reprise his role as supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine. Who, in the original is dying, but sticks around to save his soul by keeping demons in hell from breaching earth." Director Francis Lawrence Keanu Reeves John Constantine Peter Stormare Lucifer Doesnt give a date.
Oh my god!! I needed your reaction to this well hidden gem. And could I detect a certain "keanu-infatuation"? 😉😆 Never seen you make so many smooch-references and I loved it 🤣 Too bad you didn't get one, though 🤷🏽♂️ Thank you for this video
They were edging each other, lol. Even though this movie's constantine is very different than the hellblazer's version, it was such a good performance that the movie character stands own his own.
Hurray! You were able to get it uploaded! I've been dying to see your reaction since this is one of my comfort movies. And it was worth the wait! Good stuff as always :)
Kat is the best! Never a bad reaction! The finale interaction between Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Keanu is just perfection. Fits the universe, playful and inventive, and excellent in execution. Really, if there wasn't the Matrix-y section with the holy shotgun, I'd say this movie would have been great. It's simply okay and I recommend it purely in the Gabriel and Satan stuff and the fun premise and setting. Constantine could be a better character too, either more more of a jerk or more of a sly deal maker. That's part of why the conclusion is so good.
yep subbing. The 1st and only movie react channel I came across with perfect editting, enthusiasm and also knows the names of the actors and not some boring BS. Although It'd be better to have the cam 20:80 to the source not the other way around.
Constantine is based on the comic book superhero who fights the paranormal dark forces in the DC universe. Actor Matt Ryan plays a more comic book accurate Constantine in the animated series and in the very good live action TV series. Shia’s character of Chad Kramer played by a different actor in the series was a major character as Constantine’s partner. TV Constantine had crossovers with the Green Arrow and The Flash, so he appeared in the universe with Superman and Batgirl. His interaction with TV’s Lucifer is a highlight. Keanu Reeves and Peter Stormare as Lucifer in Constantine is also a highlight. The two actors reunited briefly in John Wick 2. Keanu Reeves appear in an establishment that’s ’neutral ground’ where violence is not allowed in Constantine and the John Wick franchise. Kat, that smile on your face, I had one too, in every ‘close moments’ between Constantine and Angela. And that look of disappointment afterwards….The winged beast that grabbed Angela and dropped her in the pool was Gabriel. That actress you recognized before she died of holy water sprinkler had a bigger role as Constantine’s girlfriend, but were all edited out. Keanu Reeves wants to do the character again. Fingers crossed.
The first time I saw Tilda Swinton cast as Gabriel I was convinced that this is one of the most well cast comic book adaptions of the era. Fantastic movie start to finish and I am very curious about the second one. #nopressure
You can find Keanu Reeves in the supernatural horror "The Devil's Advocate" (1997) with Al Pacino. Also, would you consider watching "Arachnophobia" (1990)?
I'm an OG comic fan, been reading about John Constantine before he even had his own comic book. I've probably read stories about John from twenty or thirty different writers. And I think this movie is great! It really, really gets right certain things about John's world that no other adaptation has, including the supposedly faithful TV show, especially about the cost of magic and how nasty and transactional that milieu is. The vibe of John as haunted and cynical but still magnetically cool is intact. I just think of this, in canon terms, as an Elseworlds American version of John (one of many, many iterations of Kon-stan-teyns over the years!)
Peter Stormare's portrayal of Satan may be one of the best in cinema, right up there with Al Pacino in Devil's Advocate.
He started his acting in theater and it shows ^^
honestly, i found pacino more over the top and annoying rather than menacing.... definitely one of his weaker roles in my opinion
I've always been partial to Max Von Sydow in "Needful Things"
Agreed.
I agree
24:16 Yeah, that actress, Michelle Monaghan. She had a small part but it got cut, leaving only that one shot of her. Basically she’s a demon (well, half-breed) that Constantine has… history with.

Awesome as always, Kat. If you're in the mood for more angels behaving badly, give 1995's The Prophesy a view. It's by no means a good film, but watching Christopher Walken devour scenery for 90-odd minutes is a joy not to be missed.
I've only just discovered your channel and I am absolutely obsessed. I've been binge watching all your videos for the last few days. ❤
An underrated movie, one of my favorites.
Unlike your reaction which is never underrated, always awesome, and always one of my favorites.
It only took a few minutes into your reaction, to get me to like and subscribe. It was when he punched the demon during the exorcism. And immediately after you reenacted it again. You're freaking adorable, and I enjoyed your reaction to one of my favorite movies. You also gave me something new, I had never seen the end end scene after the credits. I wouldn't have seen it without you. Hopefully you know that A sequel to Constantine is coming out. I hope it has both Rachel and Keanu.
That going to hell scene is amazing. The whole damned film is great. Glad you appreciated it. 'Jacobs Ladder' is another great horror film I'd suggest.
I absolutly love this movie so much! Even if it's nothing like the Constantine comic, it just has an special place in my heart. Also, Peter Stormare's Lucifer has to be one of my favorite of all time.
these two have great chemistry acting together.. they are in another movie you might enjoy but doesn't fit into your horror movie category .. it is a fun action film called "Chain Reaction" ... fun plot and lots of action and yes the real horror was no kiss at the end
I truly, whole heartedly, 100% need to see the 'GUM' scene at the start of every video as an opener if you will ;-) Kat you are so funny in personality and more so facial expressions, you make my evenings gal please keep doing what your doing!
Thanks, Kat! I love this movie....and your reactions so, good combo!
I love your reactions Kat, your little fists curl up and your so engaged in the film... 2 thumbs up!
Am I the only one that wants to see Kat watch more than horror movies? The horror reactions are great too but Im greedy so..
I want Kat to be cast in one or another horror movie herself, finally.
Seeing as she is an actress and such...
Yeah, I love the horror reactions but i would love if she branched out a bit occasionally. There are so many good movies!
I have thought the same. If I were to guess though, I'd say that if she ever were to respond to something like this, she'd say something along the lines of anything is possible, but in the mean time there are still a lot of horror movies to get through. I haven't seen her respond though and don't know her, so that's just a guess.
A second channel, "Kat Loves Movies" or something, would be nice, if she had the time and desire to do it. I'd definetly sub!
Hundred million percent agree
I'm glad you enjoyed this so much, it is one of my favorites. It has such a great cast, and is so well done in my opinion.
Finally lol. Great reaction Kat. Swiftly becoming one of my favorite horror reactors. Definitely top two
If you didn't know there is an after credits scene where Constantine visits Chas's grave and leaves the gold plated lighter on his grave saying he did a good job. As he turns to leave Chas shows up on his grave with wings, in his angelic form and then flies away.
Absolutely love this movie and the concept. Really wish it was more popular when it came out!
"I'm not even upset about it." 😂 me neither...you're entertaining af, lass.
The band A Perfect Circle has a cameo in this film. You should listen to every song they've ever had cause they're awesome. ☮️
Maynard in general is awesome. Such a legend.
Was waiting the entirety of this EPIC for the real horror of this film, and it did not disappoint.
As mentioned below, this film's Lucifer with Peter Stormare and AlPacino's in The Devil's Advocate are absolutely TOP NOTCH. Another film, you absolutely need on your list if reaction video's as it's not only another Reeves blockbuster, but the way he shares screen time with an acting legend in Pacino is "Devilishly" good.
(P.S. Mark Pellegrino as the Devil in Supernatural also ranks at the top, except that's a TV series)
I'm so glad this finally got through!
I appreciate how quickly you get to the reaction!
Iv been waiting for this one. Great reaction as usual.
If you didn't know, Balthazar is Gavin Rossdale, singer in the band Bush and Ex Husband to Gwen Stefani. I thought he did great in the roll. That "Girl" you saw at the end, Michelle Monaghan. Someone Correct me if I am wrong but John and that Character had some kind of Romance I heard in the Constantine Series.
I don't believe in god and hate the realities of religion, but at the same time, I really like this movie. And as others have said, Peter Stormair plays one of the best devils ever.
So worth the wait. Absolutely loved your reactions to this video. An amazing film.
I woukdnt classify his as a "horror" movie. This is the fine line between comic book and "horror" kinda like Blade movies. Its a excellent comic book rendition. Constentine is DC comic book character. This movie is a lot of fun!
Action/horror.
@tremorsfan valid. Regardless I'm stoked she loved it and it was another great reaction.
Constantine has always been one of the most badass movies I ever seen. Top in my favorites list ever since it came out.
You must be a mind reader! I really like your channel and I was thinking I’d like to subscribe, but there’s just not enough Keanu Reeves. And then boom! You drop a reaction to Constantine. Congrats on one more subscriber.
I love this movie, saw it several times and been wanting to watch it again, found your reactions made the movie even spicier for me. I will think of your reactions whenever I think or watch it again. :)
I watched this once back in the day and I forgot how good it is. I'll have to add this to my movie marathon list that includes John Wick.
Matt Ryan, who plays Constantine in the show, is picture perfect and more comic book accurate. He also nails the role and I hope he continues to play the character in the future.
But dispite the changes from the source material, I really like this movie, and Keanu makes a great Constantine too.
Kinda how the Lucifer show and the Lucifer comic are both very different from each other *and* very good in their own way.
So definitely Devil's Advocate next! And, Kat, you gotta do The Prophecy! "Holy Smokes, indeed!!!" 😆 🚬 👍 love the casting discoveries! Awesome reaction to roll into it blind!! 🎉 🌌 And Hellboy!
Fun tricks up his sleeve indeed!
Especially when he rolls them up and compels Gabriel into the light!!
Such a great reaction to an amazing movie! 👏🏼
I *just* started watching your content a couple weeks back AND LOOK WHAT YOU'RE WATCHING NOW. RESPECT.
To see Kat so happy with Shia at the ending, was pretty special. Kat, you are the best!
Thanks Kat, this made my day 😊❤
So glad I found your channel. I love this movie and I love your reaction to it. =)
*"American Gothic" (1988). Starring Yvonne de Carlo, from Vancouver, BC (Lily Munster). And "Teeth" (2007). Awesome revenge horror*
This was always a fun one. Thank you, Kat.
Kat got seriously visually blue balled 😂
A horror movie that probably not the well known but a good one is called "They" not to be confused with with "They Live" which happens a lot.
My girl is back! Awesome as always, Kat! You deliver!❤❤❤
16:24 That tire shop is right near Palm Springs CA, across the freeway in Desert Hot Springs... like 15 minutes from my house. Still love seeing it in the movie.
Was waiting for this one!!! Bravo!!!!
Hey I was thinking, why did they never do a sequel... googled it, and guess what...
IMDB: Constantine 2 "Reeves will reprise his role as supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine. Who, in the original is dying, but sticks around to save his soul by keeping demons in hell from breaching earth."
Director Francis Lawrence
Keanu Reeves John Constantine
Peter Stormare Lucifer
Doesnt give a date.
Oh my god!! I needed your reaction to this well hidden gem. And could I detect a certain "keanu-infatuation"? 😉😆 Never seen you make so many smooch-references and I loved it 🤣 Too bad you didn't get one, though 🤷🏽♂️
Thank you for this video
They were edging each other, lol.
Even though this movie's constantine is very different than the hellblazer's version, it was such a good performance that the movie character stands own his own.
I adore this movie so much!
Thank you for uploading it today; it's my birthday.🎉❤
Happy B-Day! :)
@@zeer0squared Thank you.😃
Oh.. Happy birthday, dreamer.. 🥳🎂🥂
@@mikaelsgaard7109 Thanks so much! ☺️
WHAT!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREAMER!!!! I hope you had a wonderful day!!! KAT:D
your reactions is AMAAAAZING GIRL hilarious ! ♥
"I'm too upset to make a joke about there being a lot of free beef." And that's when I subscribed. lol 💖
Hurray! You were able to get it uploaded! I've been dying to see your reaction since this is one of my comfort movies. And it was worth the wait! Good stuff as always :)
Kat is back!!! 🔥🔥🎉😃
I think the cows falling over is a pestilence, which would make the meat poisoned. Also insert "Where's the beef" reference LOL
"First Time Watching CONSTANTINE Reaction... holy smokes" I see what you did there. LOL
LOL I AM SO GLAD!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
I love your look of total exasperation at the "NO KISS" ending. lmao
Papa midnight has powerful 👍 and is ready to use them 🤣☠️
27:49 "he's gonna come in dual wielding two pieces of glass" ...hahahah
Kat is the best! Never a bad reaction!
The finale interaction between Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, and Keanu is just perfection. Fits the universe, playful and inventive, and excellent in execution.
Really, if there wasn't the Matrix-y section with the holy shotgun, I'd say this movie would have been great. It's simply okay and I recommend it purely in the Gabriel and Satan stuff and the fun premise and setting. Constantine could be a better character too, either more more of a jerk or more of a sly deal maker. That's part of why the conclusion is so good.
Gotta throw in an intermittent action scene to keep those who aren't into the narrative entertained 😅
I just found you. These videos are so wonderful, keep it up!
If only Marvel movies would learn something from these much better earlier "superhero" movies.
yep subbing. The 1st and only movie react channel I came across with perfect editting, enthusiasm and also knows the names of the actors and not some boring BS. Although It'd be better to have the cam 20:80 to the source not the other way around.
Omg you’re hilarious 😆 the “real horror of this story” got me 😅
Ur drop dead gorgeous and have such a playful fun personality. Love ur vibe and channel. Subbed
Constantine is based on the comic book superhero who fights the paranormal dark forces in the DC universe. Actor Matt Ryan plays a more comic book accurate Constantine in the animated series and in the very good live action TV series. Shia’s character of Chad Kramer played by a different actor in the series was a major character as Constantine’s partner. TV Constantine had crossovers with the Green Arrow and The Flash, so he appeared in the universe with Superman and Batgirl. His interaction with TV’s Lucifer is a highlight. Keanu Reeves and Peter Stormare as Lucifer in Constantine is also a highlight. The two actors reunited briefly in John Wick 2. Keanu Reeves appear in an establishment that’s ’neutral ground’ where violence is not allowed in Constantine and the John Wick franchise. Kat, that smile on your face, I had one too, in every ‘close moments’ between Constantine and Angela. And that look of disappointment afterwards….The winged beast that grabbed Angela and dropped her in the pool was Gabriel. That actress you recognized before she died of holy water sprinkler had a bigger role as Constantine’s girlfriend, but were all edited out. Keanu Reeves wants to do the character again. Fingers crossed.
No jokes about free beef is just one of many reasons I love this channel.
The first time I saw Tilda Swinton cast as Gabriel I was convinced that this is one of the most well cast comic book adaptions of the era. Fantastic movie start to finish and I am very curious about the second one. #nopressure
You can find Keanu Reeves in the supernatural horror "The Devil's Advocate" (1997) with Al Pacino.
Also, would you consider watching "Arachnophobia" (1990)?
I'm an OG comic fan, been reading about John Constantine before he even had his own comic book. I've probably read stories about John from twenty or thirty different writers. And I think this movie is great! It really, really gets right certain things about John's world that no other adaptation has, including the supposedly faithful TV show, especially about the cost of magic and how nasty and transactional that milieu is. The vibe of John as haunted and cynical but still magnetically cool is intact. I just think of this, in canon terms, as an Elseworlds American version of John (one of many, many iterations of Kon-stan-teyns over the years!)
I love the silly "I'll read them for you *wink*." Very endearing.
