9. Constantine

Despite how the 2005 movie was only loosely based on the character from the Hellblazer comics, there was still a lot to love about it. Tilda Swinton and Peter Stormare totally rocked their portrayals of Gabriel and Satan, respectively, and Gavin Rossdale was surprisingly effective as a seductive demon. What fans of the comic still probably can’t get over is Keanu Reeves himself as John Constantine, turning a blonde British con-artist with a wry sense of humor into an all-too-serious American.

While the TV reboot had a true-to-the-comic version of the character, it was not the best medium to tell Constantine stories, and as such it was swiftly cancelled after a short season. It’s Hellblazer’s story arcs that really make for great adaptations, which the movie showed, as it’s based on the “Dangerous Habits” and “Original Sins” story arcs. Perhaps the next story a reboot could tackle is “The Fear Machine”, in which a secret society harvests fears to bring an ancient god to life.
