Overall I'd say I wasn't as happy with this DC Showcase collection as I've been with others. ... As a whole, the entire collection somewhat slants in a negative or cynical direction.

Rated: 2.5/5

As an eclectic grab bag of DC characters, this DC Showcase is worth checking out, but it would have been a stronger recommendation if Constantine and The Losers weren’t as needlessly violent.

Rated: 7/10

For any fan of Warner Bros. Animation's past DC projects, DC Showcase: Constantine - The House of Mystery is a solid addition to the line.

Cool little short. I'm always happy to get more Constantine action, so it was a nice treat. Just wish it were a bit longer than 27 minutes. If you're a fan of to the output from DC animation, and you have a darker sense of humor then you're sure to like this.

Enjoyed Constantine’s short. Kamandi was interesting I had never heard of the comic before. The Losers seemed pointless to me. Blue Beetle had a good retro feel.

Constantine: The House of Mystery may just be a short, but its story and characters are enough to keep Constantine fans happy, while leaving DC Animated Movie Universe fans feeling hopeful and definitely wanting for more.

Not really what you could call a movie as it is made up of four parts, each one shorter than the last. It starts with Constantine - The House of Mystery, the longest deals with John's fate after DC's Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. Then is followed by a Kamandi episode, an adventure with the Losers. Finally, the shortest one coming in at only 15 minutes is one made to look like a cartoon from the '60s or '70s featuring Blue Beetle and other Charlton heroes. All of them, except the last, are bleak and violent. But not in a good way. Love, Death & Robots shows how you can do that sort of thing and do it well without needing to make it a downer to be mature. These seemed rushed, well-acted, but poorly written, with gore and obscenities tossed in not because the store needs it but to make them "adult." The only one I could warm to was the last, which was like a rejected, lost episode of the former DC series Brave and the Bold only with the Blue Beetle and Question instead of Batman. I at least got a couple of laughs out of that one. On the whole not recommended unless you are a real John Constantine fan. But you still probably won't be happy with it.
