DC Comics fans DC Comics is known for putting out really good direct to DVD animated movies and well since we have a tradition going on here you just know that I was going to be checking out this movie the first chance that I had / got. I will fully admit that I straight up forgot all about this film even existing let alone when this film was even coming out as such it was a shock for me to see that this film had just been released on digital platforms and so join me as I review the 2021 direct to DVD DC Comics animated film that is honestly pretty freaking cool with the film itself being called simply "Justice Society: World War II" enjoy.
The plot of this film is The Flash (Barry Allen) finds himself stuck right slap bang in the middle of World War 2 and with the help of the Justice Society of America must find his way back to his own time but not before The Flash (Barry Allen) joins the Justice Society of America in possibly tipping the balance of the war forever. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this film / movie in all honesty the plot of this film / movie was really freaking good and if i'm being honest I had no idea where the plot of this film was even going which for me at least is always a very good thing indeed.
Starring in this film is Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash and Elysia Rotaru as Dinah Lance / Black Canary. Also starring in this film is Chris Diamantopoulos as Steve Trevor , Omid Abtahi as Hawkman , Matthew Mercer as Hourman , Armen Taylor as Jay Garrick / The Flash , Liam McIntyre as Arthur Curry / Aquaman , Geoffrey Arend as Charles Halsted, and as An Advisor , Ashleigh LaThrop as Iris West , Keith Ferguson as Doctor Fate , Darin De Paul as Franklin D. Roosevelt and ????????? as Shakespeare / ??????? / ???????.
In terms of what I personally thought about the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film in all honesty the acting that's featured / presented to us in this film is really freaking good. All of the actors that are starring in this film really do deliver some really good performances altho I have to say that for unknown reason Stana Katic seems to be doing an impression of Gal Gadot which is something that I personally fund to be very distracting despite the fact that actress Stana Katic does turn in a really good performance as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.
Doing the animation for this film is Digital eMation who have done alot on Warner Bros direct to DVD animated movies. I have to say that I honestly and personally really did like the animation that's featured / presented to us in this very film since the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film was really fluid and the backgrounds were really stunning and as such you could tell that the animators who were working on this film really did have a blast / a good time working on this film because it really does show in this film.
SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There was one thing that I wasn't expecting to see in this film and it's that one thing plus something else that made me turn this film review into a spoiler filled review. Since we see a picture of the The Ark Of The Covenant which i'm going to be honest made me laugh because that whole sequence just reminded me alot of Raiders Of The Lost Ark and have no idea why since the two movies couldn't be any more different even if they tried.
Now you guys may / might have noticed that I left one actors name of the list of credited actors and that's because even tho this person being in this movie wouldn't be a spoiler what would be a spoiler is who they are playing because reprising his role as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman from the animated direct to DVD film we have Darren Criss. This honestly makes me believe that DC Comics has secretly started a new direct to DVD animated movie universe simply because DC Comics very rarely have the same actor play the same character in multiple animated protects and the last time that they did was with the DC Animated Movie Universe and so this leads me to believe that we are perhaps seeing the beginnings of a new direct to DVD animated movie universe from DC Comics but who knows I could be wrong tho.
SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now then boys and girls even tho i've been fairly positive about the film thus / so far there is one thing that I didn't like about the film and that's the fact that this version of Wonder Woman not only feels like but is also written like the version of Wonder Woman that we say in the 2017 live action Wonder Woman. Which I guess makes sense that particular version of the character was popular and to main stream audiences that particular version of Wonder Woman is the only version of the character that has ever and will ever exist however it also means that this particular version Wonder Woman cannot be her own character which in my opinion at least makes this particular version of Wonder Woman not only forgettable but also badly written since the makers of this film are just copying and pasting what the makers of the 2017 live action Wonder Woman did for there particular version of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.
Now then boys and girls this film has a total running time of exactly one hour and twenty four minuets and sixteen seconds and which if i'm being honest that running time suits this film perfectly. Since there really isn't enough plot to cover anything even close to two hours but there is more then enough plot to cover almost one hour and thirty minuets and it really does help that this film really does fly by but that's just what I think anyways and that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my honest opinion anyways.
Now then boys and girls this film is an action film after all and that does mean that there is alot of action to be found in this film and so that means that I have to talk about the action that's in the actual film itself and if i'm being really freaking honest here. the action that's seen / featured / presented to us in this film is so freaking good and this is where I personally feel that the animators who worked on animating this film had a lot of fun simply because you get to see all of the Justice Society Of America members do a lot of really cool stuff and plus the animation gets alot better and alot more fluid in the action scenes that are in this film and plus is does help that the action that is seen / featured / presented to us in this film is just so freaking cool with like I said the Justice Society Of America members doing lots of really cool things which is something that you really want to happen in any action scene but that's just in my very humble and as well as being in my very honest and as well as being in my vert personal opinion anyways.
Overall this is a movie that I personally cannot recommend enough because it really is in my opinion at least simply such a good movie to watch and to enjoy. Now then boys and girls since i've talked about both f the good and as well as booth of the bad things that are in this movie in this very review this movie / film gets a 7.5 out of 10 from me personally , as for where I got the images that I used in this review. Well then boys and girls I got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Indiana Jones fandom wiki page , Google Images and the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page. With my personal preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because it's the only website that actually has images from this film.
