My veins quake and tremble! -SPOILER ALERT(maybe)!!!)
15 years ago
First off, let me say that I'm kinda freaked that the number of journals I have on my new messages is the number 666, so yeah, flippin' balls slightly, lol! (can't help sum of mah superstitions ^^)
Anyways, I have just finished watching the film "Dante's Inferno: the animated epic" a compilation by several famous anime creators to form one entire film based from the videogame "Dante's Inferno."
I can't say what I was going to say...
For to call the movie "Glorious" would invoke terms relating to the divine, holy, and godly traits of something, and there was very little of that (though there were some pretty parts involving a heavenly pressence).
No, it was more like Diabolically awesome!
I personally enjoyed the first artist, along with the third...I think, lol. THe second one seemed too much like this one anime I saw a while back(I think it was called Alexander, or sumtin), and I dunno, it just doesn't appeal to me. They made Dante look a bit too top heavy at the end of it as well, hence my disfavor for that artist, despite how BAD ASS the ninth circle of hell itself was!
Anyways, As you can probably guess, the film is about Dante, the florenstine crusader going to the nine hells of Inferno to save his fiance, Beatrice, from the terrible clutches of Lucifer, sort of taking a self realizing truth quest along with it.
The voice acting was MARVELOUS! especially for Lucifer and Aleghierro,(one was played by the voice of Wolverine from the Hulk Versus double film pack, I think, and the other was played by the voice of Joker from the batman series back in the 90s, try to tell who's who ^^)
Like the game, it has mastered a graphical portrayal of Hell itself, and caused me to face fear, even in how it sounded!
Each team basically took hell in segments, altering it to their whims and the bases of the game(in bendable segments). Where the start had one artist's vision of the first few layers, the second one would switch up the design to their ideas of the deeper ones, and so on. (Hell, the ferryman of Violence looked diferent as the artists switched places as Dante entered Dis!)
But, unlike most things that go with that idea, often failing horribly, this epic succeeded PERFECTLY!
I kind of wish I beat the game so I could be able to tell what parts later on were close to the actual game storyline and which parts were altered by the artist.
Indeed, I'm still shaking with the delight of my mind taking in so many various views, the art changing from one macabre beauty to the next!
The voices actually stay with the characters, so that was a surprise, since I kind of expected something like Halo: Legends, which is why I was caught surprised and vulnerable to the whisping, perfected progression of plot!
However, I will now tell parts that I frowned upon, and those are only so few, so it won't take too long.
Some parts, well, they seemed to go a bit too fast, speeding as if rushed to get from one scene to the next. I kind of desired some sort of pragmatism, for what is hell but a journey not to be rushed, but to be experienced with lingering feet and even moreso lingering memories? Unfortunately, it just seemed like Dante only kept jumping down and down past each ring, just taking everything with gritting teeth as he did so.
Also, Death doesn't show up, so they explain his scythe in another way...yeah...that kind of pissed me off. But my violence over it ended long before we even reached that particular circle, lol!
All in all, if you want to rent it, that's fine. But if you desire a depiction of hell kept strongly close to the game, as well as a chance to enjoy over and over again such terrible wonders, such horrifying majesty, I would say purchase this movie! It's worth it's speed, and it is worth being able to have your mortal eyes witness an immortal masterpiece time and time again!
no, I'm not being payed to say anything, though that'd be cool if I was, but this is out of my own opinion!
Don't believe me? watch it yourself.
But I must warn you...
ABBANDON ALL HOPE, YE WHO ENTER HERE
