Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic (2010)

I was fascinated by the story of Dante Alighiere's Divine Comedy, and came the game Dante's Inferno, even with great changes in relation to the book I found the game excellent, then I was very excited by the animation Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic, more disappointed me Very, first the script is weak, it is very rushed, it should be a series or at least a 2:00 movie, a serious problem, the animation is mute, at some point the animation changes, sometimes Dante is strong, Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic does not even come to the forefront of the game, but it's a bit of a hassle. Be bad, but there are many problems, and unfortunately it is not an Epic animation. Note 6.5

The story line is a little different then the actual game and the language is a bit forced. They used old time language which means its heavy in old English. But the voices are perfect and don't change from what they should be.The worst parts that they changed the facts of who sowed the cross on Dante's chest. It meant more when Dante was the one that placed it on him self. It showed he was willing to look at his sins where when it was placed on by some supernatural creature, then it shows he is forced to look at what has happened. It is a little bothersome that they had to change the whole reasoning for that.The art style changes a bit threw the show like each circle was drawn by a different person, and I think it's because there were way too many people working on this one movie. Each director pretty much got a piece of hell to work with and I guess they never shared the design of the main character with one another because Dante and Virgil really do not look the same though out the show. The only style that feels like it belongs is the first one, mostly the reason why I had kept watching. The first one shows a style much like a American Comic Book character. Normally I didn't like that style, but I like it for this one. It has a rather nice idea of a hero who had to overcome everything for the one he loved.As the story keeps going, sadly, some of the circles seem to be cut short and its sad because some of the areas could of just excluded a bit to give them equal time.How Virgil acts, it seems that he is trying to make Dante destroy Hell. Take it as you will on that but it's what it feels like to me. For all it's worth, It is a good one even if the art style changes.

Dante Alighieri returns home from the crusade to find his servants and his father slaughtered and Beatrice close to death. when Beatrice's soul prepares to enter heaven, evil ghosts emerge from the ground and take her into the underworld and Dante has to brave the nine circles of the underworld to rescue her while guided by the spirit Virgil. this is like literally the best and the most intense animated movie I have ever seen, it's really intense, it's creepy, it's action packed, it's scary, it's bloody, it's gruesome, it's gross, it's disgusting, it's disturbing, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat, just the way that I like it, in other words, it's a really great action packed horror film. also, the voice acting was amazing and every single minute of the movie gives you chills down your spine, and as for the gore factor, this is the goriest, the bloodiest, and the most disturbing horror movie I've ever seen, it's bloodier, gorier, and more disturbing than 30 days of night for crying out loud lol. this movie is not for the squeamish AT ALL and IT IS NOT FOR KIDS, this is an animated film for teenagers and adults only

I enjoyed this movie, despite the literary and animation flaws mentioned in several reviews. I have no interest in video games and no desire to read the classic tale, but various paintings and quotations from the story have captured my attention for many years (decades):"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here". There have been many classic stories that I somehow never had to read in high-school, but when I have come across them in video form, I want to see what I might have missed. I wholeheartedly agree that the book is always better than the movie, but if not for movies, I might never have enjoyed such classics as Wuthering Heights, A Midsummer Night's Dream, A Tale of Two Cities, etc. So it is with Dante's Inferno, a.k.a., The Divine Comedy. I don't know how close to the original story this animated epic is, but after viewing this movie, I have a much better idea of what the story is all about. I don't have to write a thesis on the story, but I could explain the plot to someone, and I recognized many of the character and place names that I have heard, but didn't truly know. **So that's why some narrow-minded old fuddie-duddies used to say the rock band Styx was a Devil-worshiping cult.
