Why Constantine is the Most Underrated Comic Book Movie | The Keanu Reeves Prototype for John Wick
Constantine remains one of the most underrated comic book adaptations, and it's time it gets the credit it deserves! In this video, we explore why Constantine stands out as a unique blend of dark fantasy, horror, action, and noir that was way ahead of its time. From its gritty visual style to Keanu Reeves' internal, hard-boiled portrayal of the brooding, chain-smoking anti-hero John Constantine, this film laid the groundwork for what Keanu would later bring to the John Wick franchise.
We dive deep into how Constantine’s themes of redemption, moral ambiguity, religious hypocrisy , and the relentless pursuit of justice mirror the story beats in John Wick. Plus, we look at how Reeves' performance evolved, comparing Constantine’s world-weariness with Wick’s cold determination. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Constantine review and explains why Constantine was ahead of its time, why Constantine is underrated, why Constantine is perfect in this Constantine video essay. Enjoy this Constantine analysis and Constantine explained video!

🎞 About Constantine 🎞
As a suicide survivor, demon hunter John Constantine (Keanu Reeves) has literally been to hell and back -- and he knows that when he dies, he's got a one-way ticket to Satan's realm unless he can earn enough goodwill to climb God's stairway to heaven. While helping policewoman Angela Dodson (Rachel Weisz) investigate her identical twin's apparent suicide, Constantine becomes caught up in a supernatural plot involving both demonic and angelic forces. Based on the DC/Vertigo "Hellblazer" comics.
