I sat down to watch the 2022 DC animated short feature "DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery" as part of watching a couple other of the older DC shorts. I am only vaguely familiar with the Constantine character from the DC universe, so I wasn't really harboring much of any expectations here.
Writer Ernie Altbacker managed to put together an adequate enough storyline here. However, it just wasn't one that I was particularly overwhelmed or thrilled by. Sure, "DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery" could be watched for what it was, but it wasn't as outstanding as some of the previous shorts I have watched already.
I will say, though, that the art and animation style in "DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery" was good, and it definitely helped to lift up the overall enjoyment of this 2022 short.
Now, I am sure that there are fans for this 2022 short animated DC movie out there, fans of Constantine of course. I was just mildly entertained by the storyline here, so this is not something that I will be returning to watch a second time.
My rating of "DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery" lands on a mediocre five out of ten stars.
