 It's a bit of a dark brew, but it's still pretty cool Hey guys, I'm finally reviewing another DC animated universe movie. This is the new Justice League dark Now I was a bit hesitant about this one mainly because again it was gonna be rated R and Really to be honest these movies are not rated R the joke the killing joke was not rated R It was PG-13 at most it just had some swear words. I don't know how this is rated R There's some animation yet that I haven't even seen I've seen clips of it and that stuff is R This is a passable 14a maybe because of the swearing either way That also affects the budget in this one. The animation is kind of very simplistic in certain areas The same thing with the killing joke obviously when you're doing something that's rated R You're not gonna put as much money into it and rightfully so again I don't know why it's rated R. It's just killing itself with doing it either way though The aspect of Justice League dark was actually really cool I liked how they got the actor from the Constantine live-action show that was short-lived They had him voice actual Constantine this episode But what happens is there's these people who are starting to see demons and it's related to a return of a Ancient dark lord so Batman who doesn't like magic But he acknowledges it and he knows that they have to get someone who actually knows their stuff to try and defeat this aspect They get John Constantine Zatanna Swamp Thing Etrigan and Deadman throw there a ragtag bunch that come together to try and defeat the evil of this movie and I Like the magic aspect. They really got into the lore of what makes these characters what they are Constantine was absolutely hysterical. So was Batman actually Batman actually scares a ghost Actually scares a ghost in this episode But as I said the animation not so good There is a pretty cool fight scene that happens near the climax and I like the aspects of the characters I liked how actually dark it is and They have what the interactions with the characters how some characters actually get killed off and that was pretty dark in certain Areas the final battle is actually pretty darn cool. Now while Batman is in it. He's not the main focus he's kind of guy along for the ride the main characters are Zatanna Constantine and Deadman and There's also a giant shit monster in this episode. I couldn't believe that I was seeing that being drawn That was actually pretty creepy the interactions between the characters are actually really good too between Jason blood Constantine Zatanna this sort of friendship slash betrayal of each other is actually really cool I liked how they went into the depth of the characters despite the fact that they only had 75 minutes trying to compose a movie The biggest problem with this movie besides the lacking budget of animation is how predictable the story is I was able to bet who the bad guy was about 20 minutes in and That's unfortunate because that's the problem with these DC animated movies is that they are so short that they have to try and compile a giant story into less than 80 minutes and With that some obvious telltale story tropes appear and it's unfortunate Because this is actually a lot better than I thought it was gonna be a lot of people said it was gonna be really bad But honestly, I enjoyed it. I think it had a cool character ideal I think it had a cool concept the end battle was different from what I was expecting and I enjoyed how dark this movie was So while it does have flaws both with its structure and its animation style I can't deny that the characters and the story parts that weren't trophy were actually really entertaining So in the end, I'm gonna give Justice League dark a five out of seven. It's enjoyable. Is it viable? I wouldn't say so because the fact that I have this on Blu-ray It's not really gonna change your opinion of how good it looks because of how cheap the animation is So DVD is honestly the best idea if you're going to go and get this anyway guys, that's all for me I hope you enjoyed this review. I'll see you guys next time
