Not exactly like the book September 8, 2010
Mad Ethyl Flint (St Louis, MO)
Animated feature that loosely follows the book. The story of a man on a quest to rescue the woman he loves from the 9 rings of hell, and finally the devil himself. The rings include purgatory, lust, and greed. (I found out afterword that this is now a video game which explains the movie.)
May not be for younger children as the animation does show bare breasts. I was not that impressed by the animation however the grandson thought it was good. But he was not overly impressed by the movie.
All that aside, some adults may want to use this movie as a drinking game for the excessive amount of times he says 'Beatrice'.
Thank you.

 Very good, but... July 22, 2010

Watched this with an open mind not knowing really what to expect. Was surprised to see that this was a pretty good video game tie-in. Not needed to play the game, but a fun inner look at the story of Dante's Inferno. Absolutely not for the little ones! Nowadays, with some many kids playing games that may be too mature for them, this is something mom and dad might see and think is would be good to get, but not this one! Sex, violence, nudity...use caution. Otherwise, a great little flick!
Slightly better than expected. July 19, 2010

A commercial for the Dante's Inferno video game aired during the Super Bowl earlier this year, which gave viewers the impression that the game would be incredibly reminiscent of games like Devil May Cry and God of War. Although I never played the game, Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic was sent to me by the Amazon Vine program. My expectations weren't very high and that seemed to pay off in the long run. The animated feature takes the Batman: Gotham Knight approach where six different animation directors take hold of the film, but Dante's Inferno tells one semi-coherent story. The film surely has no issue with showing graphic violence, gore, or nudity as there rarely isn't a moment in the 77 minute feature where buckets of blood aren't falling from the sky or where Dante's beloved Beatrice isn't exposing her rather well endowed set of breasts. The changes in animation seemed rather infrequent and drastic at times while at others it felt a bit more natural. The voice acting is pretty top notch as the film utilizes voice actor veterans such as Mark Hamill, Steve Blum, and Kevin Michael Richardson. Dante's descent through the nine circles of hell was unintentionally humorous at times though. The main example being when he's fighting off and fleeing from the army of dead babies in Limbo. Also, his father accepting Lucifer's offer to work for him in exchange for all the gold he desired and the slaying of his mortal son wasn't surprising, but the fact that his mouth now looked like a vagina was. Certain things just didn't add up at times. In the end, Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic isn't terrible but isn't fantastic either. It's not worth hunting down specifically, but is worth sitting through on a rainy day afternoon or something.
The only special features included on the DVD are the EA game trailer and animatics for five scenes in the film.
 Awsome July 4, 2010

I am not a gamer, and have never played the game witch this is based, but I do love all things Hell, and this movie was fraking awsome! Action, violence, gore, nudity, Satan, Hell, anime, what more can you ask for. 6 directors, 6 styles, and 9 levels ov awsome!
Not for kids, but pretty cool for grownups who like animation June 17, 2010

The animation is the selling point here. It's very well done, if shockingly explicit at times. This is no kid show. It also, as others have mentioned, does not follow the book exactly. It's more like it was inspired by the book. I'm sure most people won't care. You'll either get into it or not, depending on whether you like some very dramatic animation with sex and gore tossed in for good measure.
