Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three SPOILER FILLED Film Review


Usually when you here of a film that's being told in multiple parts it's usually just a two part film and nothing more then that. However DC Comics and Warner Bros. Pictures decided to do something a little bit different when it came adapting the famous Crisis Of Infinite Earths storyline and that's basically make it a three part film adaptation and well then with the third and final part of this storyline now out you all just knew that I had to review the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED review of the film that sees another cinematic universe come to a close with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part Three" enjoy.

The plot of this film is our heroes face there biggest threat yet when the anti-monitor launches a full scale attack on all universes. 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 as the plot of the film was something that was well built up over the course of the previous two films and as a result of that is the fact that the plot of this film is just as epic as you'd want it to be however at the exact same time the films plot is a little bit on the weaker side of things with it being hard to tell what the actual plot is at time as the plot of this film just comes and goes as and when it pleases instead of being at the forefront of the film with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 


Starring in this film is Darren Criss As Clark Kent /  Kal-El / Superman and Stana Katic As Diana Prince / Wonder Woman. Also starring in this film is Jensen Ackles As Bruce Wayne / Batman , Cory Stoll As Lex Luthor , Meg Donnelly As Kara Zor-El / Supergirl , Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash , Aldis Hodge As John Stewart / Green Lantern , Geoffrey Arend as Psycho-Pirate , Alexandra Daddario as Lois Lane , Ike Amadi as Martian Manhunter , Grey Griffin As Aya , Liam McIntyre as Aquaman , Jamie Gray Hyder As Shayera Hol /  Hawkgirl , Ato Essandoh As Mister Terrific and The Anti-Monitor , Will Friedle As Terry McGinnis / Batman Beyond , Matt Ryan As John Constantine , Zach Callison As Dick Grayson / Robin , Gideon Adlon As Barbara Gordon / Batgirl , Lou Diamond Phillips As The Spectre , Jason Spisak As Razor , Jennifer Hale as Hippolyta and Aya and Troy Baker as The Joker.

Now then interms of what I personally thought /felt about the actual ac ting 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 alot of this films cast members turning in some really good performances in this film which does make alot of sense as all of this films cast members are reprising their roles not only from the previous two films but also from the previous Tomorrowverse films as well and there for do have a good understand of there characters by now and no what kind of performance would best suit there characters in any given situation but with thar being said tho there some performances in this film that just aren't as good as they really good have been one of which is a huge spoiler but the other name Jamie Gray Hyder As Shayera Hol /  Hawkgirl who just turns in a wooden performance in this film with the acting in this film not really being helped by the films script as this films script really doesn't give this films cast much to work with interms of what it is that there respective characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that does hurt the overall quality of the acting that's in this film.


Doing the animation for this film is Maven Image Platform , the legends and the greats that are currently over at Digital Emation and Studio Grida. 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 al 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 but at the same timer this films animation wasn't all that good but that is something that did seem to be the case with alot of if not all pf the Tomorrowverse films with this films animation looking better then what it really had any right to be but at the same time this films animation really could have been alot better as the characters do have alot of very stilted movements and alot of the backgrounds do look a little flat at times and while yes the films CGI does look for a direct to DVD animated feature length film the rest of the films animation really could have been alot better then what it actually was.

SPOILERS START HERE!!!!!!!!!!!



For those of you that don't know there are two names that were left of the cast list for this film with those names being Kevin Conroy As Bruce Wayne / Batman and Mark Hamill As The Joker. With the two of them just being on top form with Kevin Conroy just really slipping into his role like a glove for what we know now is the final time as he finished recording h9is lines for this film before he finished his lines for the Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League game but it's Mark Hamill that sounds off not because of his performance which was really good but his voice just sounded rather robotic like Warner Bros Pictures just decided to use AI for the voice of The Joker which if true really shouldn't have been done as these two were always more then happy to reprise their roles provided that the other one was also coming back as well and while it will always be great to see those actors come back to portray those incarnations of the characters it will for always be tinged with sadness due to the fact that Kevin Conroy did die but it was great that we not only got to see Batman and The Joker from the Batman: The Animated Series but we also got to see the DCAU version of the Justice League as well which was a nice little surprise and a nice little bit of fanservice as well.

If you wondering if the film will feature the death of Supergirl like the original comic book did then the answer is yes. However her death in this film really doesn't work not because it's a scene that comes out of nowhere but because of the fact that the Supergirl character really didn't appear in that many Tomorrowverse films prior to this three part storyline and thus her death doesn't have the same emotional gut punch that it really should have had as we the audience really only had one film to get to know the character of Supergirl and that's not enough if this was always going to be the end point of this cinematic universe as if your going to kill of a major character and have that character be a major part of a storyline then you need to make sure then we the audience really do know and care about the character as that's the only way that her death would work and still have the same emotional impact as it most likely had in the original comic book and yet because of the fact that the character didn't appear in any other Tomorrowverse films after the 2023 Legion Of Super-Heroes film then her death really does fall flat.


The Anti-monitor as a villain wasn't all that interesting as while we do get to find out why he's doing what he's doing. How they explain it makes him appear less like a bad guy more like someone who was just doing his job with the heroes being presented as the villains when that shouldn't be the case as the heroes were only acting on what The Monitor and the Anti-monitor was doing and nothing more then that and yet The Anti-monitor doesn't act like a villain and thus outside of the fact that he's destroying worlds which we find is only due to the events of Justice League Dark: Apokolips War with it being revealed that at the end of that film The Flash ran all the way to Apokolips to kill of Darkseid only for him to realise that he doesn't need t as he's basically already done it just by being there but with Darkseid being a set point in time it created this new universe which pretty much ended up collapsing in of itself thus needing The Anito-monitor to remove all of the earths that were created due to what John Constantine did in the first place which not only really makes him look like a dumb hero but also makes the Anti-monitor comes across as someone who really was just doing there job in the first place.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty eight minuets and thirteen seconds. Which is a bit on the long side for this film as this film really doesn't have that much there interms of plot to really cover that large amount of running time as alot of the plot was covered in the first two films with this film basically just being the third act of a film only stretched out to a feature length running time and as a result of that is the fact that this film really didn't have to be as long as it was as it really only needed to be at the very least one hour and fifteen minuets as that's the amount running time that this film has enough to cover as alot of this films scenes really do just feel like filler as they really add nothing to the overall plot of the film even the scene with the Batman and The Joker from Batman: The Animated Series whilst it was a really cool scene in this film really doesn't add anything to the plot of the film but I will admit that this film really does have some really good 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 actin that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. AS was always the case with all f the Tomorrowverse films as all of the films did have some really fun looking action scenes in them and that is also the case with the action in this very film as well as all of this films action is just some really with the films animation really leaping of the screen during the films many action scenes which does make it really obvious that that's where all of the attention from the makers of this film went to as during the rest of the film the animation isn't that good but when we get to an action scene the animation suddenly looks really good and while the films action really does get a little bit hard to follow at points we do get to see alot of really cool moments during all of this films actions scenes and heck we get to see Wonder Woman riding the back of a dinosaur which will always be a really cool thing to see in anything in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

SPOILERS END HERE!!!!!!!!!!!


Overall while the Tomorrowverse films never did set the world on fire ad get people talking like alot of the previous DC direct to DVD animated movies did this whole trilogy really was a good example of just how good these Tomorrowverse films really could have been of they really had alot more thought and alot more effort put into them 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 really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 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 Batman: The Animated Series fandom wiki page , the official DC Movies fandom wiki page , the official Tomorrowverse fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very film that I used in this very review being Google Images simply just due to the fact that alot of the images that are on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
