Judas Contract
I could talk about any number of things when I talk about DC animated movies, a subject I am passionate about, so I feel like it's important for me to talk about this movie, DC Animation's latest, and it's short comings.
Why this movie fell short
There was a lot riding on this movie, and a lot of excitement for it throughout the community. However, it failed to do what it needed to, as a movie, and as a sort of replacement for the show teen titans and it's never released sixth season. There was so much wrong with this movie, that I was left embarrassed whilst showing it to a friend of mine in which this was their first experience with DC animated movie. The writing in this movie felt incredibly lazy and forced to me. All of the jokes felt like it was from a pre teen comedy movie which is straight to tv on the Disney channel. None of them properly connected, and the chemistry between characters felt very forced, and you never really feel for the character's at all. None of the character's felt like they had any motivation for doing what they were doing, and the Deathstroke/ Terra relationship, although comic accurate, could have easily stayed in the comics and left out of the movie. Because of a lot of stuff they had done in earlier animated movies, there could have been a much more consequential bad guy in this movie, but Deathstroke is reduced to a joke making, paedophile esk character. All of the character's just had the character of "teen" and it was clear the writer's of the movie did not connect with the character's at all, because it was all so cliché.
