9 because it shouldn't be 10
9 because I didn't even want to watch
9 because I wanted to give it a 10 but I can't
maybe it's just me who aren't familiar with sad/dark movie but briefly telling the background of watching this movie before getting into it
it was part of collection of short movie , first one was about story of Robin death , next was zeta beam or something , afterward phantom stranger , while the first was the reason I started watching the whole collection, the two after was measurable or at least weren't at correct time so I was totally disappointed , and that was the last , at the beginning I said I will close with the worst movie of all but then ...
it spokes to me, when I saw the end I realized I haven't understand it from first time , watched it again , and thereafter repeated the ending alone like twice , and every time I was crying , it's a sad story , really sad story , first time I saw it I thought well the demons who are his fears are the Death somehow , but the truth was even crucial, now I don't know whether it was a good thing I watched it in the middle of the day or I should have waited till the evening , as I feel my day ruined somehow and nothing taste good no more, I am trying to search for another thing to watch but even my favorite movies and series doesn't have taste, I was looking for a continue or anything relevant , obviously there isn't
after reading my review you might sense a huge negative energy or review , the thing it's not, well the movie somehow is all about that but in slightly elegant way that even after writing this review he still deserve 10 , but 9 all he gets
As a Neil Gaiman fan and a fan of the DC Vertigo Sandman universe, I was really surprised to know of this film's existence. This story was very touching and spoke to me on a personal level. I loved every minute of this and hope to see more of Gaiman's work adapted to the screen.
I haven't read Neil Gaiman's Sandman series yet, but this short has made me excited to. The animation is pretty good, it could have been better, but it fit the tone of the short.
The story is excellent, and very relatable for people who self-criticize a lot.
Overall, this was an incredible short with a great story, voice acting, themes, tone, etc.
Absolutely loved it. Beautifully animated in a style of Manga and written by one of my favourite comic book writers, J M DEMATTEIS. I would say that this is definitely one of the best shorts from DC so far. (IMHO) I won't give anything away, I highly recommend you watch it. It can be found on both the Blu-Rays Wonder Woman: Bloodlines and Batman:Death In The Family.
Death from the Sandman Universe is one of the best characters of all time. Imagine taking the idea of death itself, not the harbinger of death nor the guy with scythe playing chess, but the actual concept of death, an entity that represent and embodies death (and life) of all things and make this character into a goth sexy young girl and make her more compelling and interesting than the entire MCU+DCU put together. How do you do this? Well, you let Neil Gaiman write it of course.
I do not think this little video fully 100% capsulate this character, mainly because this is a (very) short story and you cannot really convey the ful scope of death in such a short time. Nor do I think this is absolutely perfect 10/10, but this is still excellent and brilliantly done. This both bring tears, hope and sadness at the same time. Excellent work and I hope they can bring the upcoming Sandman TV show to this or higher levels.
