Constantine/YMMV

• Crowning Moment of Funny: "Who's the rat in the dress now, huh bitch?" Delivered by Chas, no less.
  • Constantine flipping off Satan. Can you really get any more Badass than that?
    • It's important to realize this is as he's being dramatically pulled up to heaven, and he does it in perhaps the most off hand manner possible, though it's complete with slow motion.
  • Gabriel's expression after being punched in the face, experiencing pain for the first time. If you watch carefully, he even stares down at the blood in his hand and whispers "Wow."
• Dull Surprise: Sometimes, Keanu Reeves and Rachel Weisz seem to be competing.
• Fridge Logic
  • A minor one, but, how does Constantine pay for that apartment, and his food, and alcohol, and cigarettes? Do people pay exorcists? Are you supposed to tip? How much?
    • Since all Catholic exorcists are ordained priests, maybe the Church pays him a salary.
  • If Constantine can't use his lighter for One Last Smoke due to cutting the tendons when he slit his wrists... how did he ever manage to give Satan the finger?
    • The novelization of the film reveals that it's not Constantine doing that - it is in fact, God.
    • Constantine could simply cut only through the tendon close do the thumb that is crucial to ignite the classical lighter, not so important to giving the finger. Tendons responsible for other fingers are on the other side of the forearm.
• Hijacked by Jesus: The movie removes all elements of non-Christian mythology from the setting.
  • Arguable, in that although the movie only deals with the Christian elements of the setting, Papa Midnite's inclusion represents the other mythology that was skipped over. Hence the movie acknowledges that other mythology is there... it just, well, doesn't focus on it.
• Iron Woobie: Constantine.
• Meta Casting: Keanu Reeves was a very... odd choice to play John Constantine, but as it says elsewhere, the movie is good if you don't mind its In Name Only connection to the comic book. So as long as the protagonist doesn't have to be a fast-talking cockney scouse Anti-Hero... who better for the role than The Devil's Advocate?
• Misblamed: Connected to the above, Reeves is blamed for pretty much every alteration between the movie and the original source material, apparently solely based on the rumors that he couldn't do the proper accent. Casting Reeves was apparently one of the last things done for the movie, after all the other changes had already been decided on.
• Nausea Fuel: Satan sticking his hands in Constantine's chest and ripping out cancer tissue.
• Nightmare Fuel: Hell and the demons inhabiting it aren't pretty.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The problem with adaptations of Alan Moore's work.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: This movie has the coolest looking adaptation of Hell seen in cinema thus far. And the demon made of insects look particularly awesome as well.
• What the Hell, Casting Agency?: Keanu Reeves as Constantine. Shia LeBeouf as Chas. What the hell indeed.
  • As previously mentioned under other tropes on this page, if you ignore the connection between the movie and Hellblazer, the casting choices are not so bad.
