In the Constantine world demons and angels aren't allowed on earth. Gabriel and the people in the club with gold in their eyes were Nephilim (half angel half human) while the ones with red in their eyes were Cambion (half demon half human). Constantine's assistant was turned into a Nephilim by God as a reward for his service.

@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 reactors do need to immerse more often. I'm surprised that reactors feel like they have to ask their channel audience rhetorically. I seen that too often. I would not have fun if I needed to ask mid-way the ultimate meaning of everything at every moment and in bright lights. I realize I would not have fun as a reactor.
I always though he gave him new lungs, and just pulled out the older ones (since I always saw those black lungs in photos from all the heavy smoking) in the most painful way possible since he's Lucifer xD
It's an "American comic" in the sense that DC/Vertigo publish it but "Hellblazer" couldn't be more British in most other respects (Constantine is English, the setting is _mostly_ the UK and the sensibility is _deeply_ cynical, bordering on nihilist - he's the kind of "good guy" that's more "the least bad guy" and though you'd want him on your side, you'd also never turn your back to him :).
Garth Ennis was a writer for the comics "hellblazer", "swamp thing", and "the demon" for DC and Veritgo for a number of years. you might recognize his name as the creator of "preacher" and "the boys". he also created and wrote my favorite comic of all time "Hitman" for DC in the 90's. (john mcrea (i hope i spelled that correctly) was the artist on that book.)
Hi Addie, Actor Matt Ryan played a more comic book accurate Constantine in a short-lived series. He continued the role in the animated series and reprised the role to do cross-overs with the other live action DC TV characters, the Flash, Green Arrow, Superman, Supergirl AND Lucifer!
@@tehawfulestface1337No he didn’t. Matt Ryan was NOT more comic accurate. Anyone that reads the comics knows Ryan was terrible. Even Keanu’s version was more faithful to the spirit of the character.
Just remember what you're asking for. It can never be as good as the original and sometimes can be bad enough to damage the original. Look what they did with the last Matrix movie. Do you think they can make another Star wars sequel? How many people can John Wick kill?
Addie, as you are so charmingly jumpy and easily scared, I give you the Medal of Bravery 🏅for enduring these kinds of films. Awesome reaction, as always! 👍👍
From my understanding they are still doing a Sequel.. Well, Keanu have talked about doing a Sequel for years, and now it might actually happen sooner than we think.. Peter Stormare {Lucifer} made a Post about Constantine 2 a while back, where he basically said that he is Coming back for the Sequel and that the Sequel is coming..
@@GeorgeTropicana If you think it sucks, why did you bother watching the reaction? Seriously, do you not have anything better to do than waste your time watching movies you don't like and then telling other people that you think it sucks? Get your "Mr. Negativity" ass out of here. There's enough negativity in the world today, we don't need _you_ adding to it.
Yes, he is a DC comics character, so they do have him in some of the DC superhero TV shows, like Arrow, Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl. He's not played by Keanu Reeves there, of course.
I never considered this a "scary movie" - I mean there is action and some jumps, but it always seemed more... Adventure or something to me. Watching Addie (and others) go into it fearing what is coming is... odd to me. But definitely a good reaction to watch. Another Adorable Addie Adventure.
COOL keanu shirt! 😁 this movie is SO UNDERRATED! 😣 they pulled off using A PASSING BUS for a jump-scare! 🤣 VERY GLAD you watched this one, EXCELLENT REACTION! 👍☺
Fun fact: Keanu has said himself (somewhat recently too, withing this decade, 2020s) the character he'd like to play the most again is Constantine. I think you could enjoy the animated DC movies, there are a few with Constantine in them and they are pretty dope
In 2022 they green lit a second movie Akiva Goldsman has said the script is done. And NBC had a Constantine series that starred Matt Ryan. Matt also played Constantine in the Arrowverse (though not the same Constantine as the NBC series as that is considered a different Earth)
Gavin Rossdale who plays Balthazar is the lead singer of Bush and at one time was married to Gwen Stefani. I bet since Keanu is supposedly a super nice guy, he had to have fun playing such a jerk.
Before I watch you're, reaction to Constantine, I wanna say one I know you're gonna, love this movie and 2 I wanna, thank you for all the videos you have put out of the past couple of years, bringing me a lot of joy happiness and just allowing me to escape, I deal with hell on a daily bases but you're videos help, have a laugh and to enjoy myself and shit, I think you are one of the greats youtubers of all time, you're great so thank you and you should be at 2 million subs, the fact you're not is mind blowing
Very cool and fun reaction. I agree with others in that we need a Karate Hands tee shirt. I think she went into Karate mode more that the guy in Karate Kid, so cool.
One of the best movie adaptations, even though it has very little to do with the source material. I like to think it's some kind of alternate universe version of John.
If I recall correctly, in the comic what John does is he sells his soul to several Lords of Hell at the same time (of course without them knowing about it), which means that if he dies all of them would have a claim to his soul and would have to wage war against each other for it or be shown as unworthy of their title of Lord (of Hell). Not willing to start a war in Hell that would weaken them against Heaven, they basically make John immortal, so instead of dropping the smoking habit, John starts smoking even more with the knowledge that it can't do anything to him. It's more convoluted and more cynical but also pretty badass. I haven't read past that point but I imagine they revert his immortality at some point because a protagonist that cannot die usually makes for pretty low stakes in most stories.
cats are a "catalyst" for helping you through the "universal conduit" of water. i forget the whole explanation but cats are part of the balance in a way.
If you like the story, there was also a TV series that only lasted one season, but had a really good take on it. While Keanu is good in this, the TV series had him played by Matt Ryan, and I think it was more accurate to the comic.
@@samlfarrar Same here. I don't really watch the others, only an episode here and there, but this one I watched all the episodes, and I was left wanting more.
6:59 Had to look up "meet cute" as I'd never heard it before. Oxford dictionary definition: Informal US Noun (in a film or television programme) an amusing or charming first encounter between two characters that leads to the development of a romantic relationship between them. "it all started with a little meet-cute in a hospital elevator" 😂😂😂 Incredibly spot on.
This movie reunited Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz after Chain Reaction (1996). And despite the fact that Keanu's look is light-years from the comics, he nailed. Exactly like Djimon Hounsou, Tilda Swinton and a so-much-brief Peter Stormare, giving a masterclass of evil. It's a great fantasy horror movie, and I'm dying (not literally) to watch the sequel, when it be premiered. Some day.
Apart from not having blond hair and being British, I like this version of Constantine. FYI, the Spear of Destiny also appears in a display case in the film Hellboy.
Constantine has this movie from 2005, and a second was green-lit in 2022. Akiva Goldsman has said the script is done. There is also a TV series on NBC that stars Matt Ryan that was canceled Matt Ryan then was hired to play Constantine in the CW's Arrowverse.
There have been ten movies where Keanu has played characters named John or Johnny. The DC Character Constantine was cast in "DC Legends of Tomorrow" Live action TV series as well as an animation show When interviewed Keanu was asked out of all the characters he has played which role would he like to reprise... his answer has always been John Constantine
Yes indeed, Keanu Reeves usually chooses John as his character's name, but not always, for example in "The Matrix", as Neo, or Thomas A Anderson, his father's name is John Anderson. Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz were together in "Chain Reaction" (1996, with Morgan Freeman, Brian Cox and Fred Ward from "Tremors"), very good film. There's also a bathtub scene between them. Peter Stormare (Lucifer in "Constantine") is so good as the baddie. I'd recommend him in "8MM" (1999, with Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini).
Addie, I highly recommend "Parenthood" (1989), which features a young Keanu Reeves and a very young Joaquin Phoenix. Starring Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Wiest and Rick Moranis. It's a great comedy about a 4-generation family dealing with kids, grandkids, divorce, teenagers...the usual insanity!
Such a great movie! I'm glad you reacted to this one Addie. Rumor is there is a sequel in the works now. I hope so, but I don't want to get my hopes too high. 😈👼
As far as the name John goes, Keanu also played the title character in the movie Johnny Mnemonic AND in Speed the character Jack Traven. Jack is a derivative of John, like Bill is a derivative of William or Chuck is of Charles.
@@rickymoranjr9609 I think its one of those ‘which portrayal you saw first’ things. Two incredibly well cast actors doing two completely legit different amazing jobs.
I love your Patreon voters for giving you good “scary” movies for October, where it’s not just pure horror and scares but just setting dressings for the plot.
Hey, Addie! Constantine is a character created by Alan Moore who first appeared in "Swamp Thing". He then appeared in his own long-running "Hellblazer" title. He was played to perfection by Matt Ryan in the short-lived TV series but the actor reprised the role for "Legends of Tomorrow" and "Justice League Dark". A female variant of Constantine also shows up in Neil Gaiman's "Sandman". This movie is fantastic and Keanu is great in it but an American Constantine is as blasphemous as an American James Bond to comic readers! That said, I'd love this film to get a sequel!
A few times in my life my dad would randomly take me to see a movie. I was always annoyed because they always seemed lame. Always ended up loving those movies, so dad was always right. Constantine was one of those movies
I love the ending of this movie. Removing the cancer so John lives because the Devil knows he will mess up again is brilliant
Imagine worshipping the creator of cancer and the devil.
@@PROVOCATEURSK in John’s case I don’t think it’s about worship. I feel like it’s he knows this is true and would rather be in heaven than hell.

This movie reunited Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz after Chain Reaction (1996). And despite the fact that Keanu's look is light-years from the comics, he nailed. Exactly like Djimon Hounsou, Tilda Swinton and a so-much-brief Peter Stormare, giving a masterclass of evil. It's a great fantasy horror movie, and I'm dying (not literally) to watch the sequel, when it be premiered. Some day.
Apart from not having blond hair and being British, I like this version of Constantine. FYI, the Spear of Destiny also appears in a display case in the film Hellboy.
It’s crazy how in the movie that explain at the bar is a place for demons and angels to commune together Even though they’re half breeds
Addie, everytime John and Angela are on screen: ...Now kith.
Every woman I've seen react to this is exactly the same
Thanks for a fantastic reaction!
THIS MOVIE IS SUCH A TEASE, ENDING WITH NO KISS
That's good, because Angela is saving herself for ME....
Constantine has this movie from 2005, and a second was green-lit in 2022. Akiva Goldsman has said the script is done.
There is also a TV series on NBC that stars Matt Ryan that was canceled
Matt Ryan then was hired to play Constantine in the CW's Arrowverse.
12:57 "why did a bus scare me" if I recall the very first jumpscare was a bus, in the movie Cat People. So it’s... tradition.
I've never seen someone so scared of this movie lol
10:55 You are right. I think Johnny Utah was his Point Break character?
I love how people think this is a horror movie 😂. It's dark fantasy based on a Vertigo DC comic. Constantine has literally met Batman. 😂
It is a horror film. It's a biblical and/or Book of Revelation horror film, like "The Exorcist" and "The Omen".
There have been ten movies where Keanu has played characters named John or Johnny.
The DC Character Constantine was cast in "DC Legends of Tomorrow" Live action TV series as well as an animation show
When interviewed Keanu was asked out of all the characters he has played which role would he like to reprise... his answer has always been John Constantine
The bus scares everyone the first time 😀
Yes indeed, Keanu Reeves usually chooses John as his character's name, but not always, for example in "The Matrix", as Neo, or Thomas A Anderson, his father's name is John Anderson. Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz were together in "Chain Reaction" (1996, with Morgan Freeman, Brian Cox and Fred Ward from "Tremors"), very good film. There's also a bathtub scene between them. Peter Stormare (Lucifer in "Constantine") is so good as the baddie. I'd recommend him in "8MM" (1999, with Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini).
Addie, I highly recommend "Parenthood" (1989), which features a young Keanu Reeves and a very young Joaquin Phoenix.
Starring Steve Martin, Mary Steenburgen, Diane Wiest and Rick Moranis.
It's a great comedy about a 4-generation family dealing with kids, grandkids, divorce, teenagers...the usual insanity!
Such a great movie! I'm glad you reacted to this one Addie. Rumor is there is a sequel in the works now. I hope so, but I don't want to get my hopes too high. 😈👼
As far as the name John goes, Keanu also played the title character in the movie Johnny Mnemonic AND in Speed the character Jack Traven. Jack is a derivative of John, like Bill is a derivative of William or Chuck is of Charles.
Keanu Reeves played a badass John Constantine especially one that has all the guns and gadgets that can kill a demon
I thought Keanu was great but I still like the Arrow-verse’s actor & portrayal of the character more.
@@jimhsfbay Don't get me wrong that guy was good but Keanu played a more brooding vibe to the character
@@jimhsfbay i mean Matt Played the more Comic Accurate Version of John..
@@rickymoranjr9609 I think its one of those ‘which portrayal you saw first’ things. Two incredibly well cast actors doing two completely legit different amazing jobs.
Yes Keanu Reeves character in Point Break was named Johnny Utah.
I love your Patreon voters for giving you good “scary” movies for October, where it’s not just pure horror and scares but just setting dressings for the plot.
John Wick. John Constantine, John Wall (The Wathcer), Johnny Mnemonic & Jonathan Harker (Bram Stoker's Dracula)
don't forget Johnny Utah!
Hey, Addie! Constantine is a character created by Alan Moore who first appeared in "Swamp Thing". He then appeared in his own long-running "Hellblazer" title.
He was played to perfection by Matt Ryan in the short-lived TV series but the actor reprised the role for "Legends of Tomorrow" and "Justice League Dark".
A female variant of Constantine also shows up in Neil Gaiman's "Sandman".
This movie is fantastic and Keanu is great in it but an American Constantine is as blasphemous as an American James Bond to comic readers!
That said, I'd love this film to get a sequel!
It has been said many times: But one of the best performances of Lucifer in movie history...
A few times in my life my dad would randomly take me to see a movie. I was always annoyed because they always seemed lame. Always ended up loving those movies, so dad was always right. Constantine was one of those movies
The level of this cast is phenomenal. Weisz and Swinton in particular. Simply fantastic. Movie deserves far more appreciation than it gets.
Scare Level? "Not bad."
Addie? Still jumpy and ready with them karate hands. 🤣
This is a fun movie. Best portrayal of Lucifer I've ever seen in film.
Constantine 2 screenplay is finished. Keannu Reeves is set to reprise Constantine. Characters played by Lucifer and Gabriel are set to return as well.
I always look forward to your Halloween reaction they're the best.
The best Lucifer ever portrayed in movie history
