Deathstroke Knights & Dragons: The Movie

80% of this movie is just exposition and flashbacks and every tropes and clichés you can think of is here. Slade is berated by everyone the entire movie and it gets tiring really quick. The villain is the villain in every movie and animation you can think of. The story is the same and there's nothing new here. Enemies are the most re*** ****s ever. DC's animations were always better than Marvel's, but jesus christ this is repetitive and stale. I want something new, not another 1 hour and half movie with expositions everywhere and a predictable plot and no good characterization. The animators didn't even bother to actually draw cars and buildings in one scene! We've had years of DC animated movies like this and it's 2020, just stop making movies like this and focus on making new good shows or movies that have something new and it's not full of clichés and exposition and actually put effort in it or I won't even bother watching another one.

Deathstroke is known to be cool badass character.

In this series he's violent and still kind of unusual.

The movie is about Slade trying to save his son and learning about his past affairs.

The movie is really violent. Slade and everyone else isn't afraid to shed blood.

The villain is the Jackal, Hive and Slade's Children that he has betrayed. The villains were ok. Honestly The Ex-Wife was more of a threat. Everyone else just seemed like they were there for Slade to kill. They are more like a soap opera villain. Lastly, Jackals motivation didn't make sense at all and was very puny.

The voice work is alright. Nothing to praise or rip on. The Animation looks 75% complete. It looked incomplete. It looks similar to Avengers Assemble animation.

There's a lot of hand-to-hand fighting done and despite bad animation the movie fight sequences were great.

Overall an okay solo outing for the merc with an eye.

What can be learned? Hey Marvel, A Punisher series can be done.

Verdict: A merc with an eye

As a fan of the character, this could have been much better. The story was flat and the the voice acting never matched the characters they were playing. The animation style was also weird. What saved the movie was the gory action scene throughout. Nothing too crazy or extreme, but it saved the movie from being bad.

Animation was decent, plot was unoriginal with generic action/superhero cliches, runtime bloated with too much exposition and the characters were one-dimenional and predictable with no consistency in personality, motivation, powers or ability. Deathstroke is one of DCs coolest and most complex characters, yet they gave him a basic superhero revenge/redemption story.

Waste of a great character and as well as an R rating that adds nothing to the screenplay.

Deathstroke could possibly be the action hero movie that will save DC. They need to work fast and get this on the big screens. I don't know what's taking them so long. The animation was great, the story was great and I love the action n directing.
