Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
DuskShadow So like most people whom watched the original Teen Titans series on cartoon network back in the day, most of the things in these movies are pretty self explanatory and un original. They mostly follow the exact story of the old show, and no doubt the even older comics. For newer viewers, its a nice introduction to the lore, but for me, its like a rerun.Since the newer rendition of Young Justice league, as well as the previous Dc movies of the last few years, including the prequel to Judas contract: Justice LEague vs Teen Titans, I have been a fan of the more mature look of the franchise.No long relying upon a poor American take on anime, the characters seem more realistic, as does the depth of the lighting and coloring of the shows settings and locales.Alas, this is where most things good end. The films are becoming too predictable and basic. They rely upon a very immature set of situations at times, and the most mundane voice acting more than half the time. In essence, this would have been more lucrative as part of an actual TV show, as a mere film once or twice a year is too likely to be a disappointment. I am also saddened by the fact that two of the original roster are older ( Robin, Now Nightwing, and Kori aka Starfire) but Cyborg is now a part of the actual justice League A team roster ( good for him, though). But beast boy and Raven have been left behind, diminished in years in the new jr Titans. I would have really liked to see a grown Raven and Beastboy, as its been decades since they were adults in the comics, but I suppose somehow the angsty dark girl with magic, and the silly boy that can turn into animals are just integral parts of what sell the franchise to kids.Still its nice to see a familiar part of DC continuing into the new age. 5/10
Nick Byford We used to watch the Teen Titan series and enjoyed that immensely, however, seeing the latest series, it's not only lost its grit, it's become too stupid for kids in my opinion.This movie however, turns that on its head. The story is pretty normal for the genre, but instead of being written for the prepubescent demographic that many of the X-Men style movies have recently, this is for adults who enjoy animated fare - me especially.Don't expect either the original cartoon voices though, or for the characters to even have the same names as they did in the series, but do be ready for real action. I mean graphic action; the kind that has not been so sanitised as to make the writers of the original graphic novels shudder and wish they'd never agreed to let their material be abused in such a way.I scored it 8/10 because it wasn't perfect, but it did make me glad that that I watched it and I would recommend it to any others who want a moving picture portrayal of some brilliant graphic novel material.
Argemaluco Last year, the film Justice League Vs. Teen Titans didn't leave me very satisfied, mainly because its "formal" story (Raven's origin) degenerated into "spells" and hollow magical wordiness I couldn't swallow. Fortunately, the new movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract keeps the story on an earthly level (with some spiritual touches), and it's fully focused on the development of the titans, exploring their personal problems, aspirations and internal doubts. All that happens inside the context of a dangerous mission which puts them in contact with Deathstroke, an absolutely deadly hit-man who has a personal issue against Robin (don't mix him up with Deadshot, the character played by Will Smith in Suicide Squad). In Justice League Vs. Teen Titans, Robin had darkened the rest of the team; so, in order to balance the things, he's left aside for a good portion of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, allowing us to fully appreciate the powers and personality from the rest of the titans: Beast Boy can become different animals... it sounds a bit ridiculous, until we see him in action during a frantic fight; Blue Beetle is symbiotically joined to an extraterrestrial "parasite" with an own mind; Raven is the sorcerer of the team with severe "daddy issues"; and the new member of the group is Terra, whose rebel attitude and distrust are due to the bad experiences she suffered when she was a child, when her powers arose in an extremely religious context. I had previously never known Terra (I haven't read a Teen Titans comic in more than 20 years), but I liked her story and eventual development inside the group very much. Nightwing and Starfire are appropriate tutors of the Titans, and they have their own sub-story which portrays the little seen domestic side of super-heroes; and finally, the sadly deceased Miguel Ferrer brings a perfect voice work as Deathstroke, making him a perverse and very dangerous villain. In conclusion, the action is exciting, the screenplay is very well written and the animation keeps a solid level; but what I liked the most was to feel the Teen Titans as an authentic team, well balanced and united despite their differences with each other. To sum up, I enjoyed Teen Titans: The Judas Contract very much, and I will now be expecting their next movie with enthusiasm.
Harry Richard Dahl It was as good as the run time allowed it to be. It was entertaining and most of the characterizations were great, wish Damian Wayne wasn't in it because I hate the whiny little -shit but all in all I enjoyed it. This is the kind of thing that'd work so well in a TV series, once we've had enough time to get to know and love the characters. I just wish the writers of these newer titans would stop trying to force a relationship between Raven and Damian; it doesn't work. She needs someone to bring her out of her comfort zone and try to make her smile, not some wanna be bad boy that she can sit in a corner and brood with.
