Teen Titans: Der Judas-Auftrag

We used to watch the Teen Titan series and enjoyed that immensely, however, seeing the latest series, it's not only lost its grit, it's become too stupid for kids in my opinion.

This movie however, turns that on its head. The story is pretty normal for the genre, but instead of being written for the prepubescent demographic that many of the X-Men style movies have recently, this is for adults who enjoy animated fare - me especially.

Don't expect either the original cartoon voices though, or for the characters to even have the same names as they did in the series, but do be ready for real action. I mean graphic action; the kind that has not been so sanitised as to make the writers of the original graphic novels shudder and wish they'd never agreed to let their material be abused in such a way.

I scored it 8/10 because it wasn't perfect, but it did make me glad that that I watched it and I would recommend it to any others who want a moving picture portrayal of some brilliant graphic novel material.

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!

Well, watching it in 2018, this movie is seriously action packed, gripping, thrilling and also imparts a bit of an emotional connect which makes it even more spectacular. The graphic action stands out--- just impeccable! The storyline's concise and on point. They've definitely gone deep into every character this time. Nightwing's role in this movie proves why he's Nightwing, and why he deserves to be the best protégé's of Batman. Damian too, on the other hand, is growing up to be one of the best in the business. Though I was disappointed I didn't see much of Starfire in action, her personal life was given more screen time this time, which in my opinion, is not that bad. The post credit scene makes me excited for the next Teen Titans movie, if it's in the making. Though I haven't watched the TV show completely, the movies have definitely made me a huge fan of Teen Titans/Titans.

Teen Titans now has a new member, namely Tara Markov who has the power of the earth element. Together with Tara, the Teen Titans now face new enemies and threats from a dangerous sect. Deathstroke's presence complicates all their efforts with the secret plan he makes.

Continuing the story of Teen Titans, now they have a new member. This film became a solo film for them. Has a pretty good conflict and is quite satisfactory. The conflict between Deathstroke and Robin is very eye-catching. For the main villain, Sebastian Blood, it seems that it's just sweetening the conflict between the Teen Titans and the Deathstrokes. Deathstroke as a third person who has his own plans but does not look seamlessly portrayed in this film. There is not much to see Deatshroke as the brain of evil. Likewise, Terra's inner conflict that begins to discover her identity in Teen Titans turns out to be a tool for Deathstroke. And baam... I suspect Terra will be the key to this movie, but it was unthinkable that she would become a villain even though she would eventually have to sacrifice.

Opening with a little story of Starfire's arrival which is a new insight, Teen Titans in this film is nothing but a movie with a group of boys who have their egos. Seeing the character development is much different from the previous Teen Titans movies. Jaime, who is troubled by his beetle aliens, Robin, who looks pretentious and pretentious, Beast Boy, who is still the same as yesterday, although a little silly. Tara Markov, as an introduced new member also did not make a good impression. It seems that he seems to be a bad thing even though he has a fairly important role. Dick and Starfire certainly underwent a change that they have now lived together as well for me to be the sweetening premise for this film.

If your a fan of the Teen Titans in any format you will love this film. This movie takes everything from the Judas Contract and everything that made people love the Teen Titans and bring it all together in one of the funnest films that DC has ever put out. Giving us something that would truly make Marv Wolfman proud of. This series pulls farthest from the new 52 and gives us something a little bit more old school. We get the bonds between Tera and Beast Boy, the energetic romantic love of Starfire and Nightwing along with a little bit of Raven and Damian peppered through it.

It also redeems Deathstroke after his laughable appearance in Son of Batman giving us the Deathstroke fans have been wanting.

Its fun, its dark and it is a emotional journey as we connect with each of the Titans. Learning about what makes them all heroes and what makes them a team as well. The film is able to have a good balance with each of the Titans and make them seem more touching and lovable as well.

Overall Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a must buy for all Teen Titans fans
