Justice League X RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen Part Two Film Review

 


Two part movies are usually ever done when there's story worth telling that can be only be told in two parts. Well with Warner Bros having a very busy week with them celebrating their one hundredth anniversary you'd be forgiven for forgetting that the second part of a crossover that nobody was asking for has finally been released and well since I checked out the first film it only made sense that I check out this film as well and so then join me as I review that sees a pointless crossover come to an end with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League X RWBY: Super Heroes & Huntsmen Part Two" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when Grimm suddenly start attacking the world of the Justice League the Justice League call on team RWBY to help them out and find out who is responsible and put a stop to them once and for all. 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 really bad with this films plot being very weak at best with the plot of film just straight up disappearing and reappearing again whenever it pleases with this not really being helped by the fact that the plot isn't feature length worthy at all in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Starring in this film is Travis Willingham as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman and Mark Mardon / Weather Wizard and Laura Bailey as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman. Also starring in this film is Troy Baker as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Sam Scudder / Mirror Master , Lindsay Jones as Ruby Rose , Kara Eberle as Weiss Schnee , Arryn Zech as Blake Belladonna , Barbara Dunkelman as Yang Xiao Long , David Dastmalchian as Barry Allen / The Flash , Jeannie Tirado as Jessica Cruz / Green Lantern , Tru Valentino as Victor Stone / Cyborg and Kilg%re , Jamie Chung as Dinah Lance / Black Canary , J. Michael Tatum as Klein Sieben and AEW Wrestler Maxwell Jacob Friedman as Waylon Jones / Killer Croc.

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 the cast for this film turning in some really good performances but at the same time tho the acting isn't as could as it could have been as this cast have turned in better performances in other films and TV shows and alot of that comes down to the fact that this films script just isn't that good with the script not really giving the actors alot to work with interms of what it is that their respective characters personalities even is.



Doing the animation for this film is of course the legends and the greats that are currently over at Rooster Teeth. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation 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 animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad altho I would have liked if since we are in the DC world they went with 2D hand drawn animation to emulate the style of animation in the DC films as in the first film they used 3D animation to represent the fact that they are in the world of RWBY but given that use 3D animation in this film as well all it does is make the film look cheap as while the characters do have some rather ice looking movements to them the streets are empty alot of the time and the backgrounds just look rather flat and lifeless.


There are some films out there that are made to be two part films as they have a story that can only be told in two parts. This film is not one of those films as this film really should have been a one and done film as there's no overarching plot and nothing to really make us want to watch the second part which is a shame as that is something have been fixed just by ending the first film with the characters from RWBY waking up in the world of the DC characters as now those characters would have to find a way back tom their world which would not only end the first film on a really fairly solid cliffhanger but it also give this film a really much more stronger plot line and an actual mystery as well as giving an actual reason as to why this story was told in a two part film.

Not really helping with the whole cheap looking thing is the fact that even tho the whole world is being attacked by Grimm we barely see any of it. With most of this film taking place in this one city and because of that we don't get to see more Justice League members helping out which while I do understand why that is the case as it would have been alot of hard work to animate alot of the Justice League characters but it would have made the Grimm feel alot more of a threat as we're seeing the Justice League being stretched to it's absolute limits and heck you could even show us some more villains helping out as well but the attacks that we did get to see did help sell us on the fact that the Grimm in this world is a very dangerous threat indeed.


As this is a crossover film you'd expect this film to treat both sides of the crossover equally but nope as the films gives more attention to the RWBY characters then it does the Justice League. This is not to say that the Justice League don't have their own individual plots because they do but there's alot more care and attention being given to the RWBY characters which does make sense as this film was being made by Rooster Teeth but at the same time in a crossover movie both sides of the crossover need to be given equal care and equal amounts of attention this to me makes it seem like the makers of this film wanted the RWBY characters to be seen as the main characters and the Justice League to be seen as the side characters.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and fourteen minuets and fifty two seconds. Which is quite a bit longer then what this film really needed to be as you really could have told the entire plot of this film in forty five minuets as that's all the amount of story that this film really does have alot of time to cover which again makes me wonder why this film was a two part film as the whole storyline could have been told in one film and when you add in the fact that the plot of this film is really weak it means that we get alot of scenes are just there for padding as they add nothing to either the plot of the overall or to the characters characters arcs either but I will admit that this film really does have some fairly solid pacing to it tho.


So now then as 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 un this very film was in all honesty really good. With this film having some really cool and creative action sequences and it's in this films many action scenes that we get to see some cool team ups between the Justice League crew and the RWBY characters which really do make both this film and the first film worth watching as it was always going to be fun seeing just what combination that we would get in both films action scenes and it's those combination that make this films action scenes all the more fun , exciting and cool to watch in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.


Overall this film really didn't need to exist at all and was just a huge let down of a really cool idea that in theory could have worked and yet for one reason or another it just didn't work out all that well in the slightest 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 meas that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 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 RWBY fandom wiki page and the official DC Movies fandom wiki page. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very review being the official RWBY fandom wiki page simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are featured / up and on the official RWBY fandom wiki page are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being fairly freaking high in definition.
