DC Showcase: Jonah Hex

i liked the raw,unpolished gritty feel of this animated short and i thought the voice acting was pitch perfect.each voice suited their character to a tee.the sound people did a great job bring every little sound to life.if your not familiar with the title character,this short gives you bit of an idea of what kind of person he is,but it doesn't tell his origin story.speaking of the story,i thought that particular aspect was a bit mundane,ordinary.the story could have had a bit more zip in my opinion.still it wasn't horrible,by any means.nor was it boring.i just think they could have done a bit more with it.when i first watched the short,the way it ended bothered me.i thought it was way too abrupt,and there should have been an extra scene or two to tie things up better.but then thinking back on it,i realize,the way it ended was the perfect ending,and it didn't need anything else.all in all,worth watching.this animated short is included as a bonus with the animated film Batman: Under The Red Hood.for me,DC Showcase: Jonah Hex is a 6/10

Forget that 2010 live-action abomination that ruined one of the greatest comic book antiheroes. I want to see Thomas Jane as Jonah Hex in DCEU, he's born to play that role.

Jonah Hex has never been on my radar, when the live action film appeared I didn't even know it was DC until I watched it and alike most viewers I was far from impressed.

These little DC Showcase shorts are great for introducing people to new characters/ones they aren't familiar with and this is a great concept.

This runs for slightly over ten minutes and manages to tell a story. It's about Jonah rolling into town seeking his bounty but upon learning he's dead he sets about getting revenge on the brothel madam responsible.

This was enjoyable, this was on another level than the live action movie.

The creators of this need to be handed a budget and allowed to make a feature length movie because based on this it could be really good.

The Good:

Well written

Beautifully animated

Original plot

Great voice cast

The Bad:

Still not keen on the character

Things I Learnt From This Short:

Michael Rooker needs to do more voice work

Jonah Hex makes an appearance in the DC Showcase, of course he does. Justice was served to the bounty hunter, with a relatively simple story that is quite entertaining and definitely worth a chance. Reflecting his skills and his characteristic way of solving problems.

Once again, Joaquim Dos Santos showcased the affection and excellent work of great figures from the publishing house, as well as their immense potential for incredible stories and productions. Without a doubt, the director knows what he is doing and does it in the best way.

The short film has a musical score that is highly connected and focused on what it aims to convey, aligning perfectly with the action scenes and moments of appreciation for the character. The animation is decent, very similar to its predecessor, and it maintains that great fluidity of movement. Here, the tone undergoes a significant change due to the time in which the events take place, fully connecting with the audience, as well as differentiating key environments and characters.

Thomas Jane did a great job with his voice acting, successfully capturing his portrayal of Jonah Hex. On the other hand, actress Linda Hamilton (Madame Lorraine) surprises with every dialogue, bringing that sensual tone which fits perfectly.

The focus on deception, death, vandalism, prostitution, settled accounts, legacy, persecution, and punishment was executed excellently.

Jonah Hex is a rather interesting anti-hero who could add a lot of entertaining stories or adventures, but the publisher has not exploited his potential. In this short film, the quality it possesses was made very clear.

6.5/10.

I do not know anything about Jonah Hex at all, so this was more like a cowboy animated short film to me, and I have to say, it was really great! First off, the voice of Jonah Hex, dayum! Straight away makes him very intriguing and it's very appropriate for the character and his overall look. The way the dialogue is set up and the way the character of Jonah Hex is characterized is done brilliantly I feel. And more on the dialogue, when Hex does speak, it's always really wow and badass and awesome. The action was pretty good too and the characters other than Hex were just as well done as Hex himself. I give it a 10 because I had a really good time and this is a very memorable short for me. I also feel like this should get it's own short animated series (like 13 or so episodes) because I feel like there's a lot that can be done here.
