I thought I heard Constantine's look was inspired by David Bowie
Nope. Constantine = Sting. The vampire that Constantine deals with in the Hellblazer issue that Gaiman wrote = David Bowie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
was it Sting or David Bowie who had the walk-on role in Yellowbeard?
According to IMDB, Bowie.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Ohh, maybe that's where I'm confused.

Oh wait, I'm mixing things up again. Gaiman didn't write the Constantine vs. vampires issue.

Because books.
I've heard it's not politic to say so, but since I didn't read the comic, I loved Keanu as Constantine. I also don't care for Sting outside of his looks, though, so there's that.

Amy, take my word for it. You're unexposed.
The character doesn't have anything to do with Sting outside of his looks, as far as I know anything of Mr. Sumner. He's irretrievably bitter and wry and funny and scarred in a way that...well, maybe Keanu pulled it off in the second half of the movie, but I sure didn't see it before I crapped out.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The movie wasn't a bad movie. It just wasn't John Constantine.

It's one of the comics I'd like to pick up. The list is getting longer.

Yep. Hell, we own it! I think it's a fun paranormal/urban fantasy movie. With a main character who happens to have the same name as a character from a comic I like.
