I just love finding obscure pieces of comic book movie media just because it's always fascinating to me to see how these characters are handled. Well i've found another piece of obscure comic book media that just so happens to feature a character who has his first ever solo live action movie coming out next week and well I thought that i'd review this movie just to see if it's as bad as they say that is and so then join me as I review the film that brought DC's most famous team to the world of live action with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League Of America" enjoy.
The plot of this film is when Metro City is threatened by The Weatherman it's to the Justice League Of America and new member Tori Olafsdotter to save the day before it's to late. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad but at the same it's just as cheesy as you'd think that it would be and not in an entertaining way either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this film is Matthew Settle as Guy Gardner / Green Lantern and Kim Oja as Tori Olafsdotter / Ice. Also starring in this film is John Kassir as Ray Palmer / The Atom , Michelle Hurd as B.B. DaCosta / Fire , Kenny Johnston as Barry Allen / The Flash , David Krumholtz as Martin Walters , Elisa Donovan as Cheryl , Ron Pearson as Dr. Arliss Hopke , Jason Weissbrod as Drazen , Miguel Ferrer as Dr. Eno / The Weather Man and Beauty And The Beast star David Ogden Stiers as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films cast doing there absolutely best to make this films script work for them and to turn in good performances however this films script gives the cast nothing to work with interms of their characters personalities and so the cast can;t really turn a great performances because of the fact that the script just won't allow for it.
Doing he CGI for this film is the little known studio Digital Magic Company and Vision Crew Unlimited. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad and when I say that it's bad I don't just mean that it's bad by the standards of today I mean it was bad even by the standards of the nineties.
For some strange reason the makers of this film thought that it was a good idea to have interview segments with the characters. This to me just reeks of padding as the interviews add nothing to the plot of the film plus not only are they really awkward with the cast mostly from what I can tell just making up their answers as they go along but they also don't make sense because why would a superhero or in this case a superhero team give an interview where there civilian name is going to be shown and there faces are quite clearly seen.
This was a pilot for a potential Justice League Of America live action TV show and this film even fails at being a pilot. As everything is already set up when the film starts with five of the six league members having not only met but also formed the team when a decent pilot would tell the story of how these characters and how this team was formed but for some strange reason the makers of this chose not to go with that route and so we're left wondering how The Flash met The Atom , Green Lantern , Fire and Martian Manhunter when the story for a decent pilot film really would have told the story of how just how exactly these characters met and formed the Justice League in the first place.
I'd say that the costumes for this show are Halloween costume story quality but that would be insult to the costumes that you can get at those halloween costume stores. As yeah the costumes sued for this pilot film are pretty bad I don't doubt that if the film was successful enough to spawn a full length series that the quality of the costumes would have improved but you only get one chance to make a good first impression and with that in mind this film should really should have had much more better costumes then the ones that we eventually ended up with getting in this very film.
Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and twenty one minuets and fifty seconds. Which is this one of this films very few saving graces because it means that you don't have to watch this bad film for very long and but if you took out alot of this films many interview segments this film would come in at the very least at one hour and ten minuets because of the fact that when you get right down to it this film doesn't have alot of plot to cover that large amount of running time but this films credit this film does have some really good pacing to it tho.
So now then since this is an action film that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty decent for the time. As this was a made for TV film and so expecting mind blowing action from this film would just be ridiculous but at the same time this film could have better action scenes in it tho as the ones that we got just weren't really that impressive to look at in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this film is just bad as people say that it is but at the same time tho it's really just such a weird time capsule that it's in all honesty worth seeing just to see how bad and weird and strange that this film is and can be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then 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 as such that means that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of a 3.5 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 girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official DC Database fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
