Today’s quick review: Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. The Teen Titans, a team of young superheroes, are going through changes. As they work on tracking down Brother Blood (Gregg Henry) and his cult, Nightwing (Sean Maher) rejoins the team, rekindling his relationship with its current leader Starfire (Kari Wahlgren). Meanwhile, the younger heroes try to help Terra (Christina Ricci), their newest member, feel welcome.
Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is an animated superhero movie based on characters from DC Comics. Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a loose sequel to Justice League vs. Teen Titans. The story further fleshes out the Titans and their history while pitting them against a new foe. The movie offers DC’s usual quality: polished animation, an entertaining script, and plenty of superpowered fighting.
The Judas Contract has solid fundamentals. The cast of characters is fun, a varied group of teens drawn in simple, effective strokes. The plot isn’t too elaborate, but it’s well-paced and keeps the action coming. The film is peppered with humor, enough to keep the tone light without being a distraction. These basics are enough to make The Judas Contract a satisfying watch for anyone interested in the genre.
Give Teen Titans: The Judas Contract a shot if you’re a superhero fan looking for something quick, well-constructed, and self-contained. Though not groundbreaking, The Judas Contract is another solid addition to DC’s animated offerings. Those looking to be impressed would be better off starting off with Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox or Son of Batman.
7.0 out of 10 on IMDB. I give it the same for good characters, a decent plot, and a fair amount of superhero action.
