Constantine

why couldn't they make it work?
why do they do so many film adaptations, yet they botched this one and moved on?

Are you implying the Keanu Reeves Constantine was botched?

I'm not implying it, I'm saying it outright.

Why?

why don't you try and tell me what they did right (if anything).

It was botched adaptation, but a fun flick on it's own

>why don't you try and tell me what they did right
I didnt start the thread with an assertion that hasn't been hashed out yet, you did

Constantine was a good movie you pleb

it was shit tier adaptation, missing the essence of the comic book and the character.

not him, but that movie was a very meh adaptation.
alright flick, but denaturalized the characters in different way, like giving it that stupid gun

Not enough funny quips for you?

lmao you fucking nerd, who the fuck reads comic books

>muh comic boooks muh adaptationsss
neck yourself

Oh come on. Literally the only good thing about the movie is Peter Stormare as Satan.

Constantine is grounded in a very Thatcher era British mentality, that Americans just can't accurately reproduce.
All they see is cockney accent magic man.

>NOOOOOO DON'T MENTION THE SOURCE MATERIAL OF THE ADAPTATION WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE ADAPTATION

What do you mean?

This.

I think he refers to the ennis run. he sort of has a point because there costantine is basically custer from preacher, so he definitely has some template for his protagonists

>Thatcher era British mentality
what does that mean?

I'm not british so I can't explain it properly, but I think it refers to how fucking horrible the setting (80s UK) is, with all that comes with it

I didn't know Britian in the 80s was especially bad, but that make sense since they're 10 years behind America culturally.

Actually it was great

This thread reeks of Yea Forumsfags, and they'll fucking seethe and fall back on their usual sad little excuse "but muh source material", but I gotta say it anyway... on the CW show, Constantine buttfucking a nigger was gross and the character was ruined forever.

A kind of 80's punk nihilism. Watch The Young Ones, or something.

Okay, that puts it into perspective.

he'll show up on set one day and everyone involved will die a few days after
