The portrayal of cults, brainwashing and abusive relationships elevates this above the rest of DC animated movies I think, except for Flashpoint Paradox, which was a different shade of dark.The story and the character are simple, but it's all about the relationships, and it has plenty of powerful emotional moments, if you can tune in on to all that. There are some cheesy moments but they are all coming from who the characters are, so I think they actually add some depth in the end. What really makes the two Teen Titans movies really great compared to the usual Justice League ones, is that the writers can treat the teenagers like humans, instead of how the Justice League are treated as gods.If you liked the prequel Teen Titans vs. Justice League, this is a must watch.

Really enjoyed the movie not just because of the awesome characters but because it is really action packed and is a great adaptation of the original comic. Love the character development as well like Nightwing and Star fire relationship. Really great addition to the titan movies and will not disappoint.

Last year, the film Justice League Vs. Teen Titans didn't leave me very satisfied, mainly because its "formal" story (Raven's origin) degenerated into "spells" and hollow magical wordiness I couldn't swallow. Fortunately, the new movie Teen Titans: The Judas Contract keeps the story on an earthly level (with some spiritual touches), and it's fully focused on the development of the titans, exploring their personal problems, aspirations and internal doubts. All that happens inside the context of a dangerous mission which puts them in contact with Deathstroke, an absolutely deadly hit-man who has a personal issue against Robin (don't mix him up with Deadshot, the character played by Will Smith in Suicide Squad). In Justice League Vs. Teen Titans, Robin had darkened the rest of the team; so, in order to balance the things, he's left aside for a good portion of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, allowing us to fully appreciate the powers and personality from the rest of the titans: Beast Boy can become different animals... it sounds a bit ridiculous, until we see him in action during a frantic fight; Blue Beetle is symbiotically joined to an extraterrestrial "parasite" with an own mind; Raven is the sorcerer of the team with severe "daddy issues"; and the new member of the group is Terra, whose rebel attitude and distrust are due to the bad experiences she suffered when she was a child, when her powers arose in an extremely religious context. I had previously never known Terra (I haven't read a Teen Titans comic in more than 20 years), but I liked her story and eventual development inside the group very much. Nightwing and Starfire are appropriate tutors of the Titans, and they have their own sub-story which portrays the little seen domestic side of super-heroes; and finally, the sadly deceased Miguel Ferrer brings a perfect voice work as Deathstroke, making him a perverse and very dangerous villain. In conclusion, the action is exciting, the screenplay is very well written and the animation keeps a solid level; but what I liked the most was to feel the Teen Titans as an authentic team, well balanced and united despite their differences with each other. To sum up, I enjoyed Teen Titans: The Judas Contract very much, and I will now be expecting their next movie with enthusiasm.

If your a fan of the Teen Titans in any format you will love this film. This movie takes everything from the Judas Contract and everything that made people love the Teen Titans and bring it all together in one of the funnest films that DC has ever put out. Giving us something that would truly make Marv Wolfman proud of. This series pulls farthest from the new 52 and gives us something a little bit more old school. We get the bonds between Tera and Beast Boy, the energetic romantic love of Starfire and Nightwing along with a little bit of Raven and Damian peppered through it. It also redeems Deathstroke after his laughable appearance in Son of Batman giving us the Deathstroke fans have been wanting. Its fun, its dark and it is a emotional journey as we connect with each of the Titans. Learning about what makes them all heroes and what makes them a team as well. The film is able to have a good balance with each of the Titans and make them seem more touching and lovable as well. Overall Teen Titans: The Judas Contract is a must buy for all Teen Titans fans
