Justice League Dark Review: 4 Ups & 5 Downs

Ups

4. Matt Ryan As Constantine

Justice League Dark Constantine
Warner Bros.

One of the biggest reasons to be excited about this movie was the returning presence of Matt Ryan as John Constantine, who of course played the character in NBC's disappointingly cancelled TV show.

Ryan absolutely delivers as you'd expect, especially his sassy back-and-forth banter with both Zatanna and Batman, as well as hilariously calling the villain a "w***er" at one point.

Of all the characters in the film, his is the most effervescent, and he easily rises to the top even with the presence of Batman attempting to stifle him somewhat.

With Ryan also returning for The CW's Constantine animated series, hopefully he'll keep running with the ball considering how much people like his interpretation of the character.
