Has anyone seen this yet? Just saw it and I feel it's one of the best animated DC films ever(probably the best). Hell, one of the best animated comic films ever.

The guy who played Constantine in the tv show also voices him in the movie.

Only going to watch it for Etrigan, who I am sure gets shafted character wise in this....so FUDGE this Movie!

I liked his portrayal. I had no idea this was even coming out, I only knew about the live action one.

There is gong to be a live action JLD?

Yes, called "Dark Universe" with Guillermo del Toro apparently producing.

Just watched it last night.

Bats was pretty pointless.

Constantine had no sense of humour or wit...too serious & angry.

Etrigan steals the show.
Hell he gets more action scenes than Batman.

7/10.

Batman was only in the movie cuz Batman and felt really out of place.

Matt Ryan nailed it as Constantine and Dead Man was good, too.

Not enough Swamp Thing.

Overall enjoyable, but felt lacking.

Yeah. Good but not great. A bit predictable and badly paced. Villain was meh. Batman was pretty much window dressing. Still pretty decent. 7/10.

7/10 seems about fair. I didn't mind Bats in the team too much - I thought it fit his character that he would want to be there to make sure nobody screwed up. And that one scene where he scared the wraiths made me laugh.

Maybe not the best DC animated movie ever, but still much better than most of their live-action crap.

I thought Constantine was good. I liked Zatanna and Etrigan as well. Deadman was about as annoying as I usually find him. I felt the film was maybe a bit too overstuffed for its run time though. I did laugh at them having to fight... let's call it Demon Number 2... in the one scene.

As others have said, I thought it was good, but nothing mind-blowing. I felt they could have benefited from a longer run time, to help with the pacing, as well as fleshing some things out a bit better. Still, it was much more enjoyable than what the live-action DCEU has given us so far. And, quite frankly, better than the animated stuff we get from Marvel. At least, IMO.

to those that have seen this already, should I buy?

Well, I don't know what your quality marker for spending is, but I would say it's more worth buying than BvS, MoS or SS are.

No, redbox that shit

I agree that Batman was out of place. I hate that they feel they need to cram him EVERYTHING in order to sell it.

Loved Etrigan

It was meh

Well then FUHHIN A!!!!

I liked it. Best once since Bruce Timm's departure that's for sure. But it's still nowhere near his best stuff.

Ummmm, He wasn't involved with this movie.

As long as Damien aint in it....

I still think it was the best of the DC animated films, but yeah I can understand some of the criticism. I'm just glad this team got a movie made about them.

Really? The best? Above the Red Hood?

I'd forgotten about that one, yeah that movie was one of the best as well.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Dark. I thought Batman was silly but on the whole it wasn't a bad movie. Better than those Damian-centric ones anyway.

If it's better than the Bat-family trilogy starring Damien Wayne, that's a huge step in the right direction.

I can certainly use Redbox

Yeah, unless you're a huge fan of these specific characters and this team then it's just worth a rental.

I came close to buying a few of the DC Animovies but I learned my lesson with Killing Joke. They ALL get rented before even the thought of possibly buying it happens.

What was up with Superman Doomsday? The movie wasn't horrible, but why'd they draw his face like this:

It was distracting.

Its called CHARACTER!

It looks like they used an etch-a-sketch to draw his mouth and the lines on his cheeks.

It's much better. I'd say buying that movie 3 times (and ending up with 2 redundant, useless copies in the process) is more worth it than spending money on the 3 DCEU movies.

But, as others have said, unless you are a really big fan of the Justice League Dark characters, it's probably not worth buying. Worth renting to see though.

I loved Batman's response to Orchid, when she delved into his mind.

Orchid: "You have so much anger & sadness in your life...it's difficult to imagine how you find moments of happiness?"

Batman: "I have a butler."

Yes lol, a lot of decent humor in the film.

Art style or not, it was more than made up for by the best Superman fight outside of the comics (at the time at least, anyway).

Yeah some parts did get a chuckle. Just don't like it when they shoehorn in other characters that aren't usually on said teams.

Just saw it and it was kind of underwhelming. I have never cared for Constantine as a character, and his edgelord emo lines really irritated me. Etrigan was ok, the ending was far too reminiscent of Suicide Squad (tricking Destiny etc), and none of the other characters really stood out to me aside from Zatanna. Deadman was annoying as shit, the villain was generic, and nothing in the plot was really all that cool it was the typical Find X object to beat an OP villain. I thought the fight with Felix was cool, and Zatanna was the same warm and nice person with a ton of power that I remember from growing up. All and all definitely not one of the better films in the Direct to dvd roster

6/10

Maybe I liked it more because I like magic characters.

When it comes to fights from animated stuff I also enjoyed Superman vs Darkseid from the movie with Supergirl where Supes fights Darkseid on his farm at the end, I thought it was cool how Supes goes all out and essentially seems to be become some huge whirlwind.

Oh there is also Superman vs Black Adam from a movie, plus Supes vs Captain Marvel from the JLU tv show.

I honestly don't like that fight (Darkseid), because it misses the point of the comic.

The JLU fight is the best one in that entire series imo.

No, it's he best one since Timm left WB IMO, but not as good as Timm's better efforts.

Yeah, did you see the Superman vs Black Adam "movie" ? It's only like 25 minutes long.

Was that the movie that also had different animated shorts like Green Arrow, Jonah Hex, and such? It was alright.

For a while each of the DC movies came with an animated short on the disc.

DC Showcase Original Shorts Collection.

Ah, didn't know that. Smart by them though, they were pretty good for the most part.

The Spectre short was awesome.

Yep yep yep yep yep yep. When I watched Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, I expected it to follow pretty faithfully the Superman/Batman: Supergirl (Superman/Batman #8-13) run, but was very disappointed by the finale. In the comic, it's probably the best Superman vs unstoppable big bad fight ever bar Supes vs Doomsday.

So was the Jonah Hex one. I recall being all...WHY WASN'T HIS MOVIE LIKE THIS?

I saw it a few days ago. It was good. Not Flashpoint/Under the Red Hood good, but better than most of the animated JL movies and recent animated Batman movies

Better then the Lego Batman Movie?

Yeah. All the Damien/Robin ones have been "eh it didn't totally SUCK" at best.

Ok...Just watched this...I FUHKING hate Constantine. He is OFFICALY A POS Character. know wonder Him and Zatanna are the only ones that got any real exposure in this.

Liked Deadman...not enough of him. Swamp Thing got raped so we could get Dick & Kunt Action with Conny and Lady Z.

And they Made ETRIGAN A FUHING GOOD GUY!?


SCREW THAT SHIT!!!!!!

This Movie SUCKED!!!!!!!!
