Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Great Film overall
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Blistering performances.
I wound up watching this by myself as the hubby doesn't really like this arc with Terra and Deathstroke. I have to admit it kinda creeped me out a bit as well. While overall it wasn't bad, there were parts that made me a little uncomfortable. I would suggest a higher rating on this as there were a few thing I wouldn't want my 13yr seeing. Granted I'm sure there's worse out there but this had some things that were like umm, really. The writing was well done, I love a good one liner and this was full of them. The animation was what I would expect from a DC/ WB production. The voice acting was good, and worked well with the animation. Things I wasn't thrilled with: The whole skeevy Terra, Deathstroke relationship thing. Given the arc and knowing the story line I knew it was coming but I didn't expect her strutting around in lingerie throwing herself at Deathstroke. I know it was in the comics, but come on, he's old enough to be her father... grandfather?! It was just creepy. Also giving the background offered, it was unneeded. It wasn't a pivotal plot point and could have been left out or just hinted at if they were that hung up on the original story line. Things I liked: On the flip side I liked how they expanded on Nightwing and Starfire's relationship. It was nice to see actual progression there not just shameless flirting. I have to admit my juvenile side even liked the innuendos here and there. Conclusion: It was an OK movie, if a little anti-climatic.
I saw this movie in the Summer right before I was about to dive into some Tenkai Knight episodes.I have to say this movie was 10X better than Justice League VS. Teen Titans and 1000x better then Teen Titans Go!However, I do feel that this movie could have been better without Robin/Damian Wayne even though you see less of him in the film he is still a brat. The voice acting was still bad apart from Deathstroke (RIP Miguel Ferra) and Starfire (Even though it is weird seeing he talk proper English and seeing her wear human clothes).Even though this movie was good I still feel this movie has ruined the original Teen Titans.
Really enjoyed the movie not just because of the awesome characters but because it is really action packed and is a great adaptation of the original comic. Love the character development as well like Nightwing and Star fire relationship. Really great addition to the titan movies and will not disappoint.
Well, I've never actually read the Teen Titans story arc, "Judas Contract". But, as some one who was familiar with Terra's betrayal from watching the Teen Titans animated series back in 2003, I have to say that this actually the closest that we've gotten to a PG-13 film adaptation of "Judas Contract". I mean, it's pretty much spot on how Terra was acting as an accomplice for Deathstroke, but it's just that Deathstroke had a better motivation in the comics for his revenge on the titans than in the movie. Still, I was actually amazed to hear the original voice actors of Bumblebee, Wally West (Kid Flash) and Roy Harper (Speedy) from Young Justice reprising their roles in the prologue portion of the movie and yes, I actually did cried when Beast Boy made that speech about a new member "replacing" Terra. But what really caught my attention was that Christina Ricci (Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family movies) was amazing as Terra and Nightwing's relationship with Starfire. I mean, that was more believable than Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship in JL: Throne of Atlantis and JL v Teen Titans and I hope that we do get to see more of their relationship reaching the next level in the future.Still, this is not a bad movie adaptation of an iconic Teen Titans story arc. But, just needs to improve more on Deathstroke's motivation for revenge. I'd say give this movie a watch if you're like really into the Teen Titans and if you're a fan of their TV show. And this was actually a pretty good performance for the late Miguel Ferrer. May he rest in peace.
