cjohnson-61296 This animated movie is pure excellence. Nearly every line of dialogue was purposeful, I felt captivated by the characters (especially Virgil), the animation was quite intense, and the action scenes were awesome.The overall plot is very interesting and appeals to certain types of thinkers. But the movie truly shines with what it takes from the original poetic works, and portray it with raw passion and expression.I enjoyed the dark, clever, satire which occurs throughout; exposing much of the insanity of religion itself. The voice actors were brilliant. Dante was so dramatic and it got me rooting for him.This movie is not for everyone but will deeply appeal to some folks. Enjoy :)

monstermmorpg Well i watched it a while ago. I pretty much liked it.The animations and scenario was good enough.The part why i liked it was the plot. There were some very true things in the plot which current world does not aware of.The action level of the movie was also satisfying. Some nice battle scenes.The environment was also pretty good when you think about the plot. It was well designed.Well overall a good animated movie which people should watch. I watched without getting bored. I give 10 because of the some very true facts of the plot and also the nice action scenes. If you are also an animated battles fan you will enjoy from this movie.

Armand An anime as instrument to expose Dante universe. Strange and full of great intentions. A warrior against demons and Devil, A delicate Beatrice and sage Virgil, love story, action and moral lesson in same skin, show and presentation, ad usum delphini, of a masterpiece. Great intentions and a final strange taste. Dante is only excuse for an experiment, nice and boring, revolutionary and nasty, with too many ingredients and an ambitious chaotic cook. So, it is interesting to define the target. Imagine the public for this version, very Japanese and cold, technical and strange. Only game for a generation behind books, part of a trilogy, maybe, violent and absurd, a fairy story in irregular uniform, it is not a disappointment if recognize the wave of movies in which history, legends and literature are a form of cake with taste of fast - food. Mirror of our society, piece of wet sand, it is a kind of Divine Comedy ersaz.

siderite Someone else chose the film, so I expected nothing. I had a vague idea that it might be an animated movie based on Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. It was not. It is actually based on a video game also released in 2010.That being said, Dante is not looking for God, as in the poem, he is in Hell to find the soul of his beloved Beatrice, whom he betrayed and therefore was taken by the Devil, right after his whole family was killed, mostly because of him. What can I say, the woman bet with the Devil that in three years in the Crusades, her guy never touched another woman. Girls really believe these things.Anyway, each circle of Hell is animated differently, I guess by different animation teams. The styles are all what I call "American Rock and Roll", though, something like an early offshoot of Disney animation, that then got bad ass and full of anger. I mostly liked the animation and if only for that Dante's Inferno is watchable.The story is another matter entirely. The guy enters Hell and kills everything he gets his eyes upon, barring his mother and girlfriend, including demons and even Satan (twice! :) ). I was watching the film and I was wondering how could Alighieri have written something that feels like Rambo in Hell. Only afterward did I find that the plot is based on a video game.So, based on the animation (and on the fact that most animation movies now are crap) I give it a slightly above average. Plot: ridiculous. Therefore the resulting below average mark.
