TheLittleSongbird 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' may not be among the best of the numerous animated superhero/comic book films, and there are some pretty good to excellent ones out there (as well as some disappointments). To me, it's a worthy effort though the divisive, leaning towards the positive, opinions are understandable. It's certainly far more preferable than the series 'Teen Titans Go!', that was cheap, poorly written and was basically dumbed down childish stupidity that forgot basically everything that made the original series so great. 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' is a very welcome return to the dark grit and touching upon complex sensitive themes, both done very well indeed.Animation consists of atmospheric colours, detailed character designs and backgrounds and fluidity of movement. The music has an ideal mix of haunting intensity and jaunty infectiousness. The writing balances light witty humour, poignant drama and dark tension.Most of the story is very absorbing and it's well paced and coherent. It's standard stuff that doesn't break new ground by any stretch, but a lot happens and the film succeeds in making most of the story and characters interesting and well done. Particularly well done of the characters are Deathstroke (much more than a typical villain), Blue Beetle, Beastly and Nightwing. Nightwing and Starfire's chemistry is incredibly well done in the comedy and drama. The voice acting is very good, especially from Christina Ricci and the revelation that is the late Miguel Ferrer.For all those great things, 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' has shortcomings. It could have done with more development to Damian and Terra's motivations and character development to be made clearer and more consistent.A slightly longer length by about 10-15 minutes may have helped perhaps. Just personal opinion of course.On the whole, worthy if not brilliant. 7/10 Bethany Cox

sundevilemily First Teen Titans Go!, and now this movie.And on another note, there is going to be a live action TV show being released next year,and I really hope that it isn't also another bad adaption of the Teen Titans or that will be the final straw of how much I loved the original Teen Titans show which premiered in 2003.

xgray-03873 Well, I've never actually read the Teen Titans story arc, "Judas Contract". But, as some one who was familiar with Terra's betrayal from watching the Teen Titans animated series back in 2003, I have to say that this actually the closest that we've gotten to a PG-13 film adaptation of "Judas Contract". I mean, it's pretty much spot on how Terra was acting as an accomplice for Deathstroke, but it's just that Deathstroke had a better motivation in the comics for his revenge on the titans than in the movie. Still, I was actually amazed to hear the original voice actors of Bumblebee, Wally West (Kid Flash) and Roy Harper (Speedy) from Young Justice reprising their roles in the prologue portion of the movie and yes, I actually did cried when Beast Boy made that speech about a new member "replacing" Terra. But what really caught my attention was that Christina Ricci (Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family movies) was amazing as Terra and Nightwing's relationship with Starfire. I mean, that was more believable than Superman and Wonder Woman's relationship in JL: Throne of Atlantis and JL v Teen Titans and I hope that we do get to see more of their relationship reaching the next level in the future.Still, this is not a bad movie adaptation of an iconic Teen Titans story arc. But, just needs to improve more on Deathstroke's motivation for revenge. I'd say give this movie a watch if you're like really into the Teen Titans and if you're a fan of their TV show. And this was actually a pretty good performance for the late Miguel Ferrer. May he rest in peace.

danielneace I give this a rating of 3 because to me it just grossed me out, terra one of the teen titans was a bad guy in disguise and she was helping deadshot catch the teen titans, but she flirted with him, more than a teen or younger person should, and it sorta creeped me out, sorta had a sick feel to it, it just made me sick, this is not something like the other animated movies, to me just this part ruined the whole movie, if you watch it you will see what I am talking about...just sick!!! other than that it was a pretty good movie, but kids flirting with 50-60 year olds on movies like this is just sickening!!!!
