DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery

I recently got access to HBO and tried to watch these two animated Constantine pieces. All this did was make wish I could get into comics but I hate the writing style (if I'm going to read a picture book I still prefer longer stories with occasional pictures). The writing and directing style are far better on this version than the other (city of demons). I was shocked it's the same voice actor seeing as their accent was milder in this piece (or maybe they were acting harder in the other one and strained more, who knows).

This isn't my animation style so that was still off putting but the writing and directing style definitely helped consume this scooby doo cartoon. Being a scooby doo fan will definitely help you watch this to the end. It took me about three days because I am no longer into scooby doo cartoons.

This showcase is a great 8 at least. It really left my mind thinking and astound. No idea why it's at an average of 6. It was a pleasant surprise for me when I realized it's a continuation from the most recent Justice League Dark movie. It's definitely worth a watch.

The idea is an interesting coda for Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, and it may even turn out to bridge the gap between the DCAMU and its replacement, the so-called 'Tomorrowverse'. But they don't quite pull it off. Whilst there is definitely an intentional dark humour to some scenes, others that are clearly meant to be more serious also raise an unintentional laugh or two (some of the gore is bordering on Pythonesque). Matt Ryan is of course perfect as John Constantine, and the rest of the voice cast are solid. Special mention to Lou Diamond Phillips, who does a very good job as The Spectre. 7/10.

I like Constantine, and Matt Ryan. This short is garbage. DC has the gaul to charge $30 by adding 3 other shorts that already existed. Pure greed. Part of the DCAU streak of terrible post apokolips war movies.

For one only one short story about 25mins long actually was about conatatine and while that was good the rest was not.

To start was about offer characters that I didn't even know and sorry to say was just boring.
