While “Constantine 2” has yet to receive the green light, despite the interest expressed by both Reeves and Lawrence, the initial film began streaming on HBO Max in early 2026, offering fans of the action-horror genre an opportunity to revisit it. Those who have skipped the film all these years, or were simply unaware, can now discover it from the comfort of home — possibly joining the ranks of fans advocating for a sequel to the tale.
“Constantine” serves as an instance where the Rotten Tomatoes rating from film critics (46%) does not accurately reflect the reaction of the general audience. The Rotten Tomatoes Popcorn Meter score is significantly higher, sitting at 72% from over 250,000 ratings, consistent with the film’s IMDb rating (7.0/10 based on over 402,000 reviews). While critics may have had legitimate criticisms of “Constantine” upon its release, it remains an enjoyable film to watch. Keanu Reeves plays an exorcist/investigator specializing in the supernatural. John Constantine possesses the ability to see, speak to, and confront demons and/or angels already embroiled in their conflict over humanity. He navigates this while bearing his own metaphorical burden as he heads toward his imminent day of reckoning.
