They killed three of Constantine's greatest identifiers, his British accent, his bleached blonde sting hair, and his chain smoking. Aside from that it was a great movie, but it was like watching a Superman movie where Superman wears green, has red hair and hates America.

and his chain smoking

Wasn't that a plot point?

It was sort of, we never saw him smoking as he was "trying to quit", which was done because at the time smoking in movies had become a big no no. Constantine doesn't try to quit and smokes like a chimney, because he knows his fate is not to die by cancer.

and hates America.

I’m just gonna be here waiting on a live action adaptation of Superman: Red Son if any of you need me…

The closest is the Supergirl tv show's Red Daughter story arc sadly.
