Constantine: City of Demons - The Movie

I’m a big fan of John Constantine, so I was disappointed (but anticipated) that NBC cancelled the series. Of course, I also knew that the show producers and DC Comics (now DC Entertainment) wanted to bring the series to another outlet, possibly The CW, since they already had a string of successful DC shows like Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl.
Constantine did live on The CW, but as a streaming-only format animated show as Constantine: City of Demons in April 2018, but we didn’t like the advertisements every five minutes.
Thankfully, all those segments are collected into one long 90-min ad-free Bluray/UHD release, re-titled Constantine: City of Demons - The Movie with a Rated R rating. To make it a full movie, 20 minutes have been added to the movie.
As for special features, there’s also a documentary “The Sorcerer’s Occultist - Understanding John Constantine” and the WonderCon Constantine Panel.
Unless you’re a massive Constantine fan, I wouldn’t recommend paying full retail price for the disc(s), but on sale for $7.99 (which is the current Black Friday sale price) - it’s almost an impulse item. All physical disc copies comes with a digital code (expires Dec 2019).
As for a live-action Constantine show, it would seem that Matt Ryan, starring as John Constantine, has been added to the regular cast of The CW’s Legends of Tomorrow. Although the series is somewhat silly at times, it’s kind of nice to see Constantine back on the small screen.
I did give up on the Legends of Tomorrow show after season one, but have started watching the show again this year, thanks to the addition of Constantine to the roster.
