I enjoy watching animated movies from time to time. The majority are from DC because they are the ones that entertain me the most and by the way, speaking of animated movies, one that is looking really promising and will be released in Netflix in about 2 weeks is Altered Carbon: Resleeved, which is a spinoff of the well-known Netflix cyberpunk series.
Last night I decided to watch this Constantine animated films and I was highly surprised. Unlike many of the DC animated flicks I have watched, this one certainly looked like if it was produced for an adult audience, which was very pleasant for me.
The story consists of Constantine doing his best to save an innocent kid that has been captured by a demon. I would have enjoyed more creativity in the design of 5 demons and if you watch the movie you will automatically know which ones I am talking about. Although I also have to tell there were other characters that had cool designs.
I insist this is an animated movie mainly for adults because there is a particular scene when Constantine is visiting a demon in what seemed like a macabre party. The type of sadism that was displayed in that place was bizarre, If that scene was produced with real humans it could be considered a really disturbing movie, something like Saw or Martyrs. Besides, there are also all the killings demons do, but this was to be expected of course.
The quality of the animation was good, nothing spectacular. It had the same quality that can be found in other similar recent animated movies from WB. Perhaps it was a bit better than usual.
I would recommend this movie to those that enjoy animated films with a dark touch, Constantine fans will also enjoy this movie a lot. I don't recommend watching this film with kids because there will be some awkward scenes for a really young audience.
The best
- Cool animated movie for adults with a dark touch.
- A character I didn't anything about is a new type of being that was very interesting. Especially the concept behind this collective conscience.
The worst
- Some monster designs were disappointing.
- The dialogue wasn't always very fluid.
