strange was a better movie.

That said, Constantine had sone great parts, Keanu was fun (to the point i wish he�d had a chance to do a more faithful rendition), and Stormare is one of THE best onscreen Satans.

Constantine was an unmitigated mess. Not complete dog shit, but just not that good.

John wasn�t even English, FFS.

John Might not have been from Liverpool, England in the Constantine movie, Still Keanu still did a good job of the role.

Constantine was fking awesome though Strange was probably a better movie. That said, I still liked Constantine more. I'm a sucker for its well executed horror aspects. I wish Strange was more horror oriented like originally planned.

Strange was the more faithful rendition, but the lore around Constantine is far far superior.

Shame they cancelled the tv series.

The Keanu film was good, but no reason to use Constantine as a vehilce for a supernatural Keanu vehicle. Could have just made some Constantine LA set homage.

Would love to see TV Lucifer and TV Constantine interact on the telly.

Agree on just naming the character something else completely, and it would gave made no difference.

TV Constantine (the actor) was great. The show wasnt really meant for network, though, its meant to be on cable where the writer�s hands arent tied.

Dark haired, Americanized version of John Constantine disqualified the movie on the spot. thumb down

Constantine was a unique occult detective movie with some noir elements in it while Dr. Strange was just Iron Man 2.0 and not that interesting.

So in terms of story and lore, Constantine 10/10

I tried watching Constantine once but couldnt get through it.

Doctor Strange is a faithful and entertaining superhero origin story and overall just a top film.

I think Dr Strange had greater production value and a much more polished product.

Constantine had better lore, for me anyway. There was more potential to explore the DC mystic lore, whereas Dr Strange was a little too tied to the overarching Infinity War lead-up.
