7/10
Not epic but good enough. Using different art styles for each layers of hell is interesting.

I didn't play the game... I'm scared of religious fanatics. But I am glad that this movie showed me the story. It's better than expected, it actually denounces the abuses done by the catholic church. So I liked the twists as it revealed Dante's memories every time he met someone he knew.

Dante's girl gets kidnapped by Lucifer and he needs to go to the deepest layer of hell to fight him and get her back. But it's actually more original than it sounds...

My first thought is that there was something weird with the animation style... and then it changes at every layers of hell, with completely different directors, teams, and Dante's clothes even look different.

So I think that this movie was made as an art form, and that makes the fact that the animation wasn't perfect acceptable.

It's not the best I've seen, I liked Bayonetta more but it's probably because I played that one. I don't feel the urge to play the Dante game, but I wouldn't mind watching the movie again eventually.
