1. I ask you to consider things differently. These characteristics - cussing, for instance. In LA they say shit and fuck a lot, not bloody. If Reeves says shit and fuck a lot, the characteristic is the same, only the curseword and accent changes. If Constantine really loves England, loves his cities, but bitches bitterly about them, when Reeves bitches ceaselessly about LA but still risks his soul to protect it, for the stated purpose of redeeming his soul, but for the real purpose of his love for it, the characteristic remains.
2. The Holy Shotgun is completely ridiculous. Granted. But some of the other favorites are still in the movie, so we can all just laugh when he's using the Holy Shotgun.
3. I don't think Chas is portrayed as a black guy, because the actor who is playing him seems to be white . . .
Not to be arguementative, but your case is not resting yet. =) You really don't want to give this movie half a chance, and I think it is going to suck for you, but maybe not necessarily because it's a bad adaptation. You want a strict adaptation, just like I do for the HP movies, and I loved the first one for sticking so closely to the book. We all want that. LOTR did a great job of trying for it. This is not LOTR, or HP 1, but it might not be a total loss.
