Teen Titans: Der Judas-Auftrag

Another movie in this continuity based on new 52 but doesn't disappoint.

The story is little predictable thru second act but still nice and thrilling. Its filled with slight humor enough to make you smile here and there. Titans and their relationships are quiet enjoyable just like in previous one even if some voice acting could be better.

Action is same like in any other DC movie, not much improvement but it do the job right.

The one problem I have with this whole continuity is Damian, in the every movie It feels like his character progressed very little or not at all from the previous one. He is always that edgy kid that is grumpy and mean to everybody, It kinda feels wrong to me because he kinda started to connect with the titans especially Raven.

There are few minor details that bothered me but nothing too much to ruin the fun.

How does DC do so well with animation but not with live action? Great story and fantastic voice acting.

Okay, I personally don't like the direction DC has been taking in recent years with most of its animations. This includes "Son of Batman," "Batman vs. Robin," "Bad Blood" and, of course, the predecessor of the film that I'll speak about later, "Justice League vs. Teen Titans."

The reason I do not like it is not relevant here, what matters is that "The Judas Contract" left me with hopes of a better future within that medium. The movie is not perfect, far from it, there are things that I really found awful, like the flashback quite "loose" and without connection with the rest of the story that we have in the beginning, or the whole story involving Terra, however, these things are less annoying than in previous ones, and good and more engaging things stand out. Even Damian Wayne is no longer the center of this universe of animated films that DC has been creating for the first time, and that makes an incredible difference, he almost becomes a cool character!

It's worth the addition to Kevin Smith's participation here, seriously, why the guy is so venerated in the nerdy way?

The construction of the Blue Beetle story is really cool, they can tell you more about the character in a subtle way that does not seem to be played (even though they have no connection to the main story line). The scenes with the Nightwing are very good, with a very cool specific action sequence.

In short, "The Judas Contract" is a film that still has problems, but it is by far a lot better than I mentioned above, and despite everything, still provides a cool pastime, being fun and very fast!

This was a movie I was skeptical about. I was not a fan of Justice League vs Teen Titans, but I did like the Titans. After sitting down and watching it on my day off, all I can say is that I'm very pleased and geeking out with excitement about this movie.

This movie is just flat out great. The voices are fantastic, the story is simple and awesome, and the characters and their chemistry is amazing. It was fun, emotional, coherent, and carries itself in a manner many question DC on.

It's shocking and astonishing how WB/DC has been able to hit it out of the park with their Animated Properties. Justice League Dark and the character's chemistry was amazing, the Justice League films are also very good, and now this movie just add's so much to the lore and mythology of the DC lore.

One of the things that worked out pretty well in the film was Deathstroke. I love this guy and he's amazing whenever he's on screen. His story with one of the main heroes was eh (ish), but he still worked. And I can definitely say I'm excited for the live- action version of the character.

I adore Nightwing & Starfire's relationship. This movie has a lot of it and it's handled extremely well. It's always alienated by comic writers and those high up in DC for whatever reason, and have this illusion that Nightwing is destined to be with Oracle. I personally think it should be the other way around, and this movie just illustrates that point.

I cant wait for more Teen Titans in whatever platform they bring it in. 9/10 from me on this movie. I can't wait to pick up the blu-ray and watch it again!

'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' may not be among the best of the numerous animated superhero/comic book films, and there are some pretty good to excellent ones out there (as well as some disappointments). To me, it's a worthy effort though the divisive, leaning towards the positive, opinions are understandable.

It's certainly far more preferable than the series 'Teen Titans Go!', that was cheap, poorly written and was basically dumbed down childish stupidity that forgot basically everything that made the original series so great. 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' is a very welcome return to the dark grit and touching upon complex sensitive themes, both done very well indeed.

Animation consists of atmospheric colours, detailed character designs and backgrounds and fluidity of movement. The music has an ideal mix of haunting intensity and jaunty infectiousness. The writing balances light witty humour, poignant drama and dark tension.

Most of the story is very absorbing and it's well paced and coherent. It's standard stuff that doesn't break new ground by any stretch, but a lot happens and the film succeeds in making most of the story and characters interesting and well done.

Particularly well done of the characters are Deathstroke (much more than a typical villain), Blue Beetle, Beastly and Nightwing. Nightwing and Starfire's chemistry is incredibly well done in the comedy and drama. The voice acting is very good, especially from Christina Ricci and the revelation that is the late Miguel Ferrer.

For all those great things, 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' has shortcomings. It could have done with more development to Damian and Terra's motivations and character development to be made clearer and more consistent.

A slightly longer length by about 10-15 minutes may have helped perhaps. Just personal opinion of course.

On the whole, worthy if not brilliant. 7/10 Bethany Cox
