TheLittleSongbird Love animation and have really enjoyed to loved many superhero films, animated and live-action. Justice League has always interested me too. So it does pain me to say that count me in as another person who was disappointed by 'Justice League: War'.Is 'Justice League: War' that bad? No, not to me it's not. There are things that make it watchable. There are also just as many things that make it underwhelming. Considering that this is Justice League and containing many of the world's most famous and most interesting superheroes and character, 'Justice League: War should have been much better and doesn't do the Justice League justice.'Justice League: War's' animation is mostly fine. There are some very nice detailed backgrounds, some characters are designed well and the colours are dynamic and atmospheric. The music is both haunting and rousing, a good fit for the film's mood. The action is nicely animated and has a good amount of thrills.The voice acting is variable, but Shemar Moore's Cyborg and Christopher Gorham's Flash are spot on, while Sean Astin has a chirpy enthusiasm and Jason O'Mara is a credible replacement for Kevin Conroy (big Batman shoes to fill and he does credibly, but he will always suffer in comparison). Of the characters, Cyborg and Batman are the most interesting and well done. However, do have to agree that too much of the characterisation is off. Superman is so out of character and Green Lantern and Wonder Woman are annoying. Darkseid is one-dimensional and far too ordinary a villain with very vague motivations. Other voice actors don't fare particularly well, especially Alan Tyduk's anaemic Superman, Justin Kirk's whiny Green Lantern and Michelle Monaghan's lifeless Wonder Woman. Steve Blum actually does a great job as Darkseid as far as voice acting quality goes, but it was like the film intended Darkseid to be different to how he was here and then changed their minds after the voice acting was done, because Blum is too sinister and dangerous for a character that is neither.Writing is far too crude and childish (especially Wonder Woman, even a troubled teenager would find her dialogue embarrassing), a writing style that feels out of place and distorts and dumbs down the characters. The story rarely excites, outside of the action, and leaves too many ideas and conflicts unresolved and confused. Appreciate the efforts to try and give everyday conflicts and quirks to the characters, but too many don't go anywhere and only succeed in making the characters bland, annoying and stripping them of what made them as popular as they are. Liked most of the animation, but the CGI does look artificial, there are a few samey character designs and some scenes looked under-populated.In summary, less than heroic and less than legendary. 5/10 Bethany Cox

adonis98-743-186503 Justice League: War is some kind of a prequel if someone could actually call it that since nobody of our heroes known anyone we get to see each and every single one of them with their stories but also some who are already superheroes like Batman, Green Lantern and Superman but also Wonder Woman. I thing the best part of the movie is the final battle hell breaks loose when Darkseid comes to earth and you know he tries to destroy it and rule the world but a bunch of cool superheroes are in there and they kick his butt. By the end of the day Justice League: War is no Flashpoint Paradox but it's not Justice League v.s Teen Titans also.

Dat Nguyen 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.

stuartjross Have to admit I was keen on seeing this as this marks the first real foray into NuDC's 52 universe. And its a massive disappointment. The storyline itself is good, but then it should be. It borrows heavily from some of the better writers in Comicdom and their opening Justice League arc.Sadly though, the art is basic to say the least and lazy to be more negative. The voices are a half decent fit with some very mediocre voice acting but the characterisation...where do we start?? I'm unsure of whether to lay the blame at the film or whether the true fault lies in DC's reimagining of the heroes for this new 52-verse.Batman is his usual aloof self, Superman comes off as a cold arrogant a$$, Captain Marvel is more of a dunderhead than usual, Hal is a schoolboy in a mans body and wonder woman comes off as a real Bee-you-know-what.Only Barry and Vic get to resemble something of themselves.One to miss I'm afraid.
