I shall start by saying i loved the game so had high expectations of this film, i thought it was OK up until just after greed, what annoyed me about the film was it bad acting, i didn't feel a connection between the voices and the actions that were taken e.g Beatrice was just poorly presented as a character especially when she was with the devil. Also i didn't get why most of the characters changed appearance the further Dante went into hell including the main character himself, i just felt it was a big let down for both animation and story compared to that of the game. I almost fell asleep during this so i'd skip this if you loved the game and are expecting better

This was one of the worst things I've seen in a long time. I got maybe a third of the way through on it Netflix while skipping through annoying parts and eventually just gave up on it because it was too painful to watch. It seems to try to follow the book by using quotes here and there, but almost every other detail is far from the original story. I didn't see the point either, because the "creative licenses" that were taken only detracted from it significantly. Since when is Dante a crusader? It was painfully corny. The voice acting was way too affected and overdone in every part that I watched. I'm shocked to see this was actually a pretty big production, because it felt like something some weird kid made in his basement.To emphasize my displeasure, I'd like to say that I've never written a review of any type for a movie and would usually consider it a waste of time, but this was much too disgustingly bad not too. I strongly recommend not watching this unless you crave torture or want to see a textbook example of how not to make a movie.

Based in a video game (Which is also loosely based in "the Divine Comedy" by Dante Aliegheri) which I never played in my life, "Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic" it's a deeply flawed production with a very few interesting elements.This movie is divided in chapter, each one of them with a different style of animation: However, this is not an anthology film, since it follows in one linear story-line. During the first part of the movie, the animation and the designs keep a good level, but as the story advances, it turns more generic and bland, being not much better than any average anime series.The same goes for the plot: The elements from the Divine Comedy from Dante gives this movie some level of interest, sadly, those elements doesn't seem to be very well developed, so the internal conflicts of the main character seem way too shallow or forced. The Beatrice character is just plain and uninteresting in comparison with her literary counterpart, being just a typical damsel in distress. And don 'get me started on Lucifer, which here is just merely a stereotypical villain, not so different to any guy from Naruto or some Saturday morning cartoon.Even the spiritual and historical elements that are added in this story just seem superfluous or being put in order to establish some vague connection with the poem in which the game was inspired. In many ways, this is just another story of a hero that must save her love interest; it is just the setting which gives this some sort of interest. To get it worse, this is not even very funny to watch, being way too heavy-handed in order to enjoyable as a simple entertainment, but at the same time, it is way too banal to be considered as a serious work.Despite the interesting premise and some few moments of good animation, this film feels just flat and forgettable. It's just neither entertaining nor satisfying enough to be considered something worth watching.

Well. I'm pretty sure everybody is familiar with the original Dante's Inferno, the story changed a bit and Dante this time isn't that Dante but a crusader and takes a rather bloody journey into the nine circles of hell. The prologue is drawn by Film Roman, not the best part of the movie but far from the worst.Then comes the only part I enjoyed, Limbo which was drawn by Manglobe, a dark Gothic atmosphere that is lost in the upcoming circles drawn by other studios. It is semi realistic (real world rules with an added layer of twisted fantasy) Dante is a hardened veteran of the holy war seeking to rescue his beloved and nothing more, nothing less.After Limbo you are tortured by Dongwoo Animation, and you literally have to endure hell to watch the movie any further as the upcoming four tiers are simply awful. Just an example, apparently for these Korean folks the Cerberus is a three-headed WORM and not a dog, at least they should have put their facts right. Of course Dante by a miracle became a one-man army slicing through skulls, spines, bones and whole bodies vertically with ease, while his physique suggests the opposite.At City of Dis another Korean studio, JM Animation takes over until the 9th tier. Dante reincarnates again as a super hero but with matching looks this time. The differences between the two studios stop here. There are random explosions when Dante is pushed against the ground or simply when his and a former friend's weapons clash in battle, God knows why.The ninth and last tier as a kind of reward (you would think) for all the suffering of the previous 7 tiers, is animated by Production I.G. Yeah the animation is superb but the story. Despite Dante's vow to God thus imprisoning Lucifer once more he still enters the Purgatory.All in all, the story had some potential but it is ruined by the terrible implementation.Thumbs down.
