Just perfect...
It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
I was not a fan of the New 52. Other than Wonder Woman, I didn't care for the way they did it. This, the origin of the New Justice League, is based on the opening arc where they battle Darkseid and the forces of Apokolips. Just OK.
I'm new to animated feature length superhero movies, so I'm no expert. But I do know a little something about being entertained, and I was with this one. I like the character design, and the animation is good. What really stood out to me in this one, is Darkseid. Because man he is scary as hell. Just floating along there with his hands behind his back, impossible to beat. He actually kind of scared me. And I'm a huge horror movie buff! I guess the fact that he seems so unbeatable is what makes him scary. Good stuff.I'm no reader of comic books, and I haven't watched that many of these animated superhero movies yes, but so far this is one of my favorites.
Everything is a meh, except for Superman, Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman.For God's sake, Superman is the symbol of hope, I remember Superman as a child as modest, friendly, and cooperative. This new Superman is nothing be an arrogant idiot.Wonder Woman...I don't even know what to say. This WW is a stupid 4-year-old girl who just happens to have fighting abilities.As for Green Lantern...let me quote his own script "I've got a universe to protect!" This Green Lantern, not only arrogant and foolish, is way too weak than the Green Lantern I remember. According to the abilities he showed in this movie, I assume that not only Batman, probably Nightwing could kick his ass.As for plot...is there even a plot for the movie?
A lot of people seem to be displeased with the personality changes of some of the heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman but they don't realize that this movie is based off of the New 52 universe, not the Justice League/Unlimited universe. Superman has a shorter temper in this variant and there are some other changes too.That aside, this movie was very entertaining. The dialogue was funny and quick witted, especially Batman. Some of the heroes through a few curse words and such which gave it a realistic feel. There weren't any corny cheesy moments which is a plus. The animation and character design was great, especially Wonder Woman's new outfit. I'm not a tough critic, movies are meant to be enjoyable and after watching this, I was happy with it. I only reserve a 10 rating for movies that I continue to think about long after I'm done watching so this movie gets a 9. Fantastic and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the DC universe.
