Comic book fans the game Injustice: Gods Among Us took the world by storm when it first released all the way back in 2013. With the game not only spawning a video game sequel but also several comic books and so it was only about time before the video game spawned a full length feature film and well now one has been released thanks to DC direct to DVD animated DC Comics line up of films and so join me for me SPOILER FREE review / round up of the film with the film in question being called simply just "Injustice" enjoy.
The plot of this film is after a now pregnant and married Lois Lane is killed Superman gets sent down a path that only Batman and a few other select members of the Justice League and a very few select group of villains can save not only but also save all of humanity from. Now then in terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual plot that's featured / presented to us in this very film was at best very weak which is such a shame because the main idea for this film is indeed a very good idea but for some reason the film just doesn't run with that idea at all in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Justin Hartley as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and Anson Mount as Bruce Wayne / Batman. Also starring in this very film is Laura Bailey as Lois Lane and Rama Kushna , Zach Callison as Damian and Jimmy Olsen , Brian T. Delaney as Green Lantern , Brandon Michael Hall as Cyborg , Edwin Hodge as Mr. Terrific and Killer Croc , Oliver Hudson as Plastic Man , Gillian Jacobs as Harley Quinn , Yuri Lowenthal as Mirror Master, Flash and Shazam , Derek Phillips as Nightwing and Aquaman , Kevin Pollak as Joker and Jonathan Kent , Anika Noni Rose as Selena Kyle / Catwoman , Reid Scott as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow and Victor Zsasz , Faran Tahir as Ra’s al Ghul , Fred Tatasciore as Captain Atom , Janet Varney as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and Andrew Morgado as A Mirror Master Soldier.
Now then as for what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film in all honesty I in all honesty thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was perhaps the weakest aspect of this film. Simply because none of the actors and actresses have the right voices for their respective characters and that was something that I personally found to be rather freaking off putting in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Doing the animation for this film is NE4U , INC who I have in all honesty never even freaking heard of until right freaking now. Which is such a freaking shame because in all honesty thought / felt that the animation that's featured / presented to us in this film was really good and heck i'd even go as far to say that this film was one of the more better direct to DVD DC Comics animated films to come out in the last few years in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then even tho this film does infact bare the Injustice name is indeed set within the world of Injustice: Gods Among Us this film is infact more based of off the comic book prequel called Injustice Gods Among Us: Year One. Now then even tho I haven't even actually read of the Injustice comics nor played the main Injustice game I did play the Injustice mobile game a few years back and I have to say that from what little I actually remember about the video game this film does look like that it might be a perfect for the world of the Injustice: Gods Among Us multi media franchise in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then without really giving to much or even anything away for that matter I will say that this film does infact very earn it's R rating. I'm not going to say why or even how it earns it's R rating but lets just say that Dead Meat could very easily produce a certain counting video just based of off this one freaking film and yes we do get to see pretty much all of the reasons as to why this film earns it's R rating which was just pure awesome to see on screen in this very film in my freaking opinion anyways / at least.
Now then I will very much admit that the idea of having Superman going down the path that he ultimately decides to go down in this very film is an rather interesting and a rather intriguing idea. Simply because we then get to see this rather heroic , stoic and idealistic character do some things that the normal Superman just wouldn't do the issue is tho this film doesn't take full on advantage of this new found freedom and so the idea feels forced and unnatural in my opinion anyways / at least.
So now then this film has / had a grand total running time of exactly one hour and eighteen minuets and thirty five seconds. Which oddly feels both the right amount of time for this film and a very short amount of running time of this film since even tho this film really doesn't have that much there in terms of either plot story or even character the film oddly feels like that it's on fast forward alot of the time with scenes that could be alot freaking longer oddly feeling like there just flying be and leaving very little to no actual impact on the actual film itself in my opinion anyways / at least.
Now then since this film is an action film after all that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film and well in all honesty I in all honesty think / feel that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty the best part of this film. This is because this is where the animation for this film is at it's best for me personally since th action just leaps of the screen and we also get to see alot of really cool moments and moves and movements in this films many action scenes / action sequences which makes the action that's in this film all the more fun to watch in my opinion anyways / at least.
Overall this is a film that really wasn't as good as it perhaps could or even more importantly perhaps should have been in my opinion anyways / at least now that doesn't mean that this is a bad film but there's just so much wasted potential in this very freaking film in my opinion anyways / at least. Now i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and that means that this film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 5.5 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that personally used in this very review from the official Injustice: Gods Among Us fandom wiki page , the official Disney fandom wiki page , the official DC Movies fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my referred website to use for images from this episode being Google Images just simply due to not only how images there are from this particular episode but also just simply due to the fact that nearly all of the images from this particular episode are very high definition and as well as being very high quality and yes this film did leak out early and no I don't recommend using the methods that I personally used to watch this movie as I always condone that you all should be indeed watching a movie legally freaking indeed.
