Dante's Inferno review
My Rating: 8/10
IMDb Rating: 6.6/10 Metacritics Rating: N/A MyAnimeList Rating: N/A My Favorite Quotes
Arguably the most bad ass animated movies ever created. How could it not be? A crusader returns from war only to have his wife murdered and taken to Hell by Lucifer himself. So what does he do? He dives head first into Hell and he must traverse the 7 gates of Hell in order to free his wife Beatrice from the clutches of the underworld. The main characters voice acting is very well suited for the role, it's very raspy and can get deep during stressful situations and create an illusion of inspiration through his fighting much like Beowulf. I really enjoy the plot, being someone who is religious and believes In heaven and hell makes this film much more enjoyable due to my non subjective criticism of their depictions. I love how each ring of hell is related to one of the seven deadly sins. With each ring of hell showing a back story with Dante, it creates a real backstory and not just pure action sequences. It also reveals how Dante is not the hero/Saint he is made out to be. The weapon he obtains in hell is so cool and awesome to watch. It's crazy to think that this movie was based off of a video game. I was somewhat satisfied with the animations and made it original was how they appeared to change throughout the duration of the movie. I truly loved the ending and thought is my was very well done. The only thing I disliked about the movie was its romantic relationship between Dante and Beatrice. You may find this weird considering the plot revolves around it. I found it somewhat weak and no tears brewed within me. Still a great animated film and worth a watch. |
