Initial Reaction
Since Wonder Woman 1984 got moved to 2020 I like many other people had to wait for this movie to come out because we certainly wasn't going to get Wonder Woman 1984 anytime soon. What also made me interested in seeing this was 1) we haven't gotten a Wonder Woman animated movie since 2009 so a new one was definitely welcomed and 2) once again it was a DC animated movie and I'm always willing to watch one of those.
Cons
One bad thing about the movie is a character dies and it really didn't have an effect on me. I mean we only knew this character for I don't know two minutes and the story wants us to care but you won't because again we haven't been with her long enough to give a damn. And no her being one of the villain's mom doesn't help. The other issue I had with the movie was the twist. It's a not good "oh this is who the big bad was along" moment because you saw it a mile away. I mean the moment you're introduced to the character and pay attention to certain things you know exactly who it is.
Middle Ground
I've got nothing to say. Let's move on.
Pros
One thing I liked about the movie was the different art style. Now I've got no issue Phil Bourassa being the character design for all of the DC Animated Movie Universe's films but I care understand people wanting to see a different style. Especially since he's been doing it since 2014's Justice League: War all the way to the more recent film in the franchise Batman: Hush. So yes I think people much like myself will take a liking to the new art style. The other aspect I liked was the action. It was like many animated DC films fun to watch. Hell it even got pretty intense sometimes, especially this one brutal thing Diana does to her eyes during the final act. Now onto the animation and I gotta say once again DC has some nicely done animation for something that was made direct-to-video. Now if any of who are a fan of the 2017 film what with it's balance between Wonder Woman's amazon warrior side and her more caring side I think you'll definitely enjoy it when this movie does it too. The final thing I'll give the movie credit for is the voice work. The cast does a good job giving these character's personalities and all of the voices they gave to said characters was done nicely.
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines is a pretty good movie. It has a good and very welcomed different art style compared to previous films in the DC Animated Movie Universe, the action was awesome, the animation was good, Diana having a balance of her caring side and fighting spirit gave the movie a lot of heart, and the voice work was good. The only down sides was a pretty forgettable and not really emotional character death and that predictable twist with one of the villains.
My final rating is Good
Alright guys that's all fun me. Now it's the October which means it's the Halloween season which also means it time for me to review some horror movies or horror movie related topics. Either way come back on Thursday, October 10th for my Underrated Films review of 2007's Trick 'r Treat. Until then enjoy the rest of your day.
