Redundant and unnecessary.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Griff Lees
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Based on Electronic Arts' video game entitled, Dante's Inferno – taken from Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy comes an epic gameplay battle through the hounds of hell.Dante's Inferno – An Animated Epic is an essential walk-through on animation platform. Each scenes has a different chapter title similar to the game and the written book.The scene begins with Dante returning from the Third Crusade to find his home in a bloody mess, his father died. And his beloved Beatrice was on her last breathe. Then she turn into a spirit and before she could ascend to Heaven – a demonic shadow: Lucifer appeared and take her away into Hell.The film is like an indirect walk-through to the game. Setting on a journey to save the soul of your love because you betrayed your trust. I mean "you" as the character itself.Battling foul demons and all those sinners via the stages of Hell and lastly Lucifer himself. Each chapter was directed by various directors and you can see the difference of the animated art in it. Fascinating doesn't it?However, if you have not played the game – watching this does not give you real kick because not everything on the game is on the animation.

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

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.

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.
