Red Sonja: Queen of Plagues

The animation is absolutely horrendous. Garbage. Why they would even go into a project and not give it some effort is just sad.

Great story with decent acting, but, the animation is terrible!

Nothing worse than changing characters to fit a dogmatic point of view. If you are going to write for a well known classic character, write it to keep it as close as possible as to the original and not to push an agenda.

D. C. have made a few of these now, using basic animation techniques and voice acting to bring one of their comic books to life directly, the best I've seen is Batman: Black & White, which especially lends itself to the format.

Queen of Plagues is OK, it includes an origin and back story without directly retelling it in linear fashion, however it does spend too much time in the past rather than driving the story. Animation is a different medium to comic books and the pacing needs to be addressed to make the action effective.

The thing that really lets it down is the lack-lustre voice acting, the responsibility for which falls on the director, if you aren't commited to producing something worthwhile then don't half-ass it or accept a poor performance.

If you're ok with audio-book grade motion comics and like Red Sonja then you'll enjoy this, if you expect at least a little dramatization and acting then you'll be disappointed. Go in with low expectations and you should be pleasantly surprised.

I'm not sure if it was a decision based on money not to have full animation, but it took a lot away from what I believe would have been mostly good reviews.

The story was solid and kept me interested and I enjoyed this portrayal of one of my favorite childhood comics. Misty Lee did a fantastic job of voice acting and I just wish it had been fully animated.

It's a pity the photos for the movie which will probably never happen or flop don't have half the heart as this little production did. I mean, one looks like a porn shot where they replaced someones penis with a sword.
