ToffeeIsForClosers comments on What's a standalone movie that deserves a good sequel?

Constantine.

I know it may not have checked all the boxes for comic fans but it was a great movie with great characters and atmosphere.

I’ve thought about this several times since its release. Apparently I’m not the only one. Keanu was asked a similar question last year but about his own catalogue and he said the same thing, he wishes there had been a sequel.

A few months after that, I think I read a sequel might be coming.

I never saw the movie, but the 2014 TV show was awesome and I wish it had gotten another season. Having the same actor make a few lame crossovers with the Arrowverse did not suffice.

Do yourself a favour and give the movie a whirl. I'm in the minority but as a long time fan of Hellblazer (original run of 300! comics) I was happy with the movie, thought it was adequately close to the material (for a movie, how can you fit the scope of the source material into 1.5 hours...) and a good old romp overall.

The TV show was excellent, quite close in look and feel and Matt Ryan nailed it (also his characterization in Legends but the writing there was lesser for the character, even though I enjoy Legends for their goofy, campy fun, Constantine wasn't a good fit), totally want some more.
