Constantine, starring a mid-Matrix Keanu Reeves, is one of the most often neglected comic book movies pretty much ever. It was an odd adaptation of its Hellblazer source material, and it received pretty mixed reviews from audiences and critics alike when it releases back in 2005. That was all a surprise to me, as someone who's watched the movie regularly since I was a kid. In fact, every time I watch Constantine, I seem to find something new to love about it. So today, I want to look at one of my favorite aspects of the movie: the way Constantine, a $100M comic book movie, handles its exposition, dialogue, and world building.
