Constantine: City of Demons - The Movie

I have said this already in one of my other reviews but i'll gladly say it again... John Constantine is such a well-made character in all aspects, even his damn british accent fits so well. What this guy lacks in power, he more than makes up for in brains.

Anyways, enough about the character, let's get into the movie. "Constantine: City of Demons" evolves around John Constantine and his best friend Chas who are on a mission to save Chas's daughter, Trish from a demon. They run into lots of trouble underway. It's a fun premise and executed brilliantly. I loved especially the goryness of it all, especially the hell scene, that was creepy in its own right. Definitely recommended.

The twelfth entry in the DC Animated Movie Universe and the 34th overall entry in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. Originally premiered as a web series and later released as a feature-length film on DVD and Blu-ray.

A much darker tone than the rest of the films. Solid animation, outstanding voice cast, fantastic direction and a well written engaging screenplay.

I am not particularly familiar with the Constantine character, as I never got into the comic books. But as I happened to stumble upon this 2018 animated movie, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.

Writer J. M. DeMatteis actually put together a rather good and interesting script and storyline for director Doug Murphy to bring to the screen. I have to admit that I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the 90 minutes that the movie ran for. It was a dark and violent storyline, so this is hardly suitable for a younger audience.

With "Constantine: City of Demons" being an animated movie, of course having a good voice acting cast ensemble is important. And they definitely had that here. I didn't recognize any of the voices initially, but it was nice to see the names of Kevin Michael Richardson and Robin Atkin Downes on the cast list, as I perused IMDb to check who voiced the various characters.

Visually then I will say that the art style used in "Constantine: City of Demons" was good. It was a very fitting drawing and art style used for the animated movie, and it complimented the atmosphere of the dark storyline quite nicely. Plus, the animation itself was also quite good.

Without being very familiar with the John Constantine character, I will admit that "Constantine: City of Demons" proved to be an entertaining watch nonetheless.

My rating of "Constantine: City of Demons" lands on a seven out of ten stars.

It's really one the best outing for Constantine ! Superb animation a bit over the top gore but really like how his character is shaping up. And it looks promising too, he shaping up to be an important character in the larger scheme of things. Looking forward for more movies on him and would like Zatanna with him too and her own movie of course.

This movie gripped me whole time. Best part is twist in last minutes. It was great,now just plain action. At last Matt Ryan is always best suited in John's character. I wish WB will continue to re-live this horror-thriller genere in future also. Love from an Indian.
