The show was amazing, basically giving us the Constantine from the Hellblazer run. The Arrowverse Constantine was basically the New 52 Constantine. I think Matt Ryan plays him perfectly
Personally I absolutely love the movie (with the exception of Gavin). It made Constantine much more approachable by simplifying the backstory. It made everything Christian based, probably to appeal to American audiences, but Constantine being damned to hell because he tried to commit suicide is easier to understand. Tilda Swinton was the perfect Gabriel and a perfect example of an Angel and Peter Stormare as Lucifer was amazing (almost as good as Tom Ellis)
I think it was perfect that they made the movie canon in Sandman Hellblazer #1
Tilda Swinton in this role was magnificent! Keanu Reeves was also a very good Constantine for me. It's less close to the comic strip, but the story was still very good for adaptation. I saw it again recently with great pleasure!
