Justice League Unlimited: Initiation Review

While live action DC films and shows are very hit and miss there animated shows were nearly always hits. With them much like Marvel did in the nineties spawning there own animated around the same time as Marvel set up the Marvel Animated Universe with DC's being called the DC Animated Universe with the show that i'm going to talking to you all about today being an episode from the final entry into that universe and so then join me as I review the episode which sees the Justice League add a new member with the episode in question being called simply just "Initiation" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Green Arrow rejects another big to join the Justice League who are expanding taking in heroes from all over the world he , Green Lantern , Supergirl and Captain Atom are sent Asia where they must stop a nuclear-powered robot rampaging through the countryside. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. This episodes plot to be fair was a fun plot as it showed us the Justice League from the point of view of a small time hero who just wants to look after the everyman with Green Arrow refusing to join them because while the other heroes are perfectly happy with fighting monsters in space he's more concerned with looking after the little people. However the episodes plot doesn't really follow up on that and instead drops that aspect of the episode when that is something that would have made the episode alot more interesting to watch but they instead drop that to focus on this robot ramping through Asia which in all fairness is a pretty epic way to start of this show but plot wise it's not that interesting as there's no conflict there but seeing Green Arrow having to struggle between doing what's right for the little guy for the time being and doing what's right for the little guy in the bigger picture would have made for a more interesting plot but to be fair this episodes plot was about as good as it was ever likely to be with the plot of this episode 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 episode is Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Phil LaMarr as John Stewart / Green Lantern. Also starring in this episode is Carl Lumbly as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , George Newbern as Clark Kent / Superman , Kin Shriner as Ollie Queen / Green Arrow , Nicholle Tom as Kara Kent / Supergirl , George Eads as Nathaniel Adams / Captain Atom and Robber 2 , James Sie as General Kwan and The Scientist and Lex Lang as Robber 1 and A Soldier.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. The fact that thus episode does have some really good acting in it is something that is not all that surprising as alot of this episodes actors are reprising their roles from various other DC animated shows and therefor would have a really good handle on how best to perform there character and those that aren't are still really good in there own right with them more then holding there own when it comes to acting with the more established stars. With the best actor in this episode being Kin Shriner as Ollie Queen / Green Arrow as while Kevin Conroy is still really good in this episode his role in the episode is basically just a cameo role and therefor he doesn't get a chance to show us what he can do as an actor whereas with Kin due to the fact that Ollie is the episodes main character he does get the chance to show us what he could do as an actor with him being able to pull of the more sarcastic and funny side of the character and the more dramatic and action side of the character and yet still make it feel like it's the same person with his own natural charisma really coming through in this episode. With the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that this episodes script is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the animation for this episode is the legends and the really greats that are currently over at DR Movie. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual animation that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. To be frank this episode animation was alot more better then what I thought that it would be as while DC is known for hitting out of the park with there animated projects they are using what was at the time an untried animation studio and superhero shows at that point in time didn't typically have good animation in them. Yet you can tell right from frame one that this not only this episode but this show as a whole has had some serious money put into it as it looks stunning with there being alot of details in the backgrounds and on the characters faces that help to make this episode feel more real and less cheap looking with even the scenes in the Asian countryside where most of the episode does take place looking really good and having colors that pop this is the type of animation that you get when you have people that care truly about what it is that there turning in and aren't just working on it to earn some fast money and it is something that does show unlike with the 1996 The Incredible Hulk cartoon where you could tell right away that the people working on that show didn't care enough to go that extra mile here tho you do see them go that extra mile by even giving background characters these really fluid movements which was something that the makers of this episode really didn't have to do and yet they did it anyway and it's that level of care that does help to make this episodes animation be really good. 

If Green Arrow is the main character of the episode then surely Kara has to be the second lead as she is the one that not only ends the episode but much like with Green Arrow is going on her first mission. Which was quite fun to see as we get to see her act like a kid her age might very well act as she does get excited not only when she is first told that she is going on the mission in the first place but also when they are in the jet waiting to depart and it's something that does make her character alot of fun to watch as she is still after all a kid albeit one that not only has superpowers but is also Superman's cousin and while the episode does explore the fact that this version of the character is quite angry and hot headed it also takes the time to show her acting as a referee when Captain Atom and Green Arrow start arguing and it's she that tells Green Lantern when Ollie has left the ship these are things that do make her out to be a really caring person at heart. This is also true for Ollie as the only reason why he didn't want to join the league in the first place is due to the fact that to him they don't care abut the little guy anymore and instead care more about fighting battles in space and while of course we the audience know that that's not true it is nice seeing Ollie openly call that out as alot of the heroes in league do have there own cities to protect and yet all of them are here in space waiting to go on a mission which is something that does prove his point as those heroes be there Superman or Batman or whoever could very easily go back to earth and only come up when there needed and yet alot of them openly choose to stay there and yet Ollie is painted as the one being in the wrong which in all fairness he kind of is but he's also in the right.

What was odd is that they never explain why the Asian country is hiding the fact that they built this giant robot. Which is something that they very easily could have done as the country does also hate all foreigners so why not say that the robot was built to keep foreigners out of the country and if called upon could be used to attack those that it deems to be a threat to its home country like for example the American army this would go someway into explaining why General Kwan didn't want the help of the Justice League and was trying to keep the robot a secret from even them by saying that the situation was undercontrol when it clearly wasn't its the small things in this episode that make these bigger moments all the more impactful which is why it's weird that the makers of this episode would leave out that small bit of information as without the country just comes across as hating people really for the sake of hating them. Something that does work for Green Arrow as it does play into Ollie's nature of being a bit of a playboy is the fact that the only reason that he's joining the league in the first place is the fact that he sees an attractive female suiting up which is something that not only feels true to his character but it does also serve as a good way to end the episode as it is this lighthearted moment but what kind of spoils it tho is the fact that Batman is there fully supporting the idea of Ollie joining just because he sees a pretty female as this doesn't feel true to how Batman or Bruce Wayne are as characters as Bruce was only playboy to act as a cover up for him being Batman as deep down he's a one woman man and heck he would want Ollie to join the league for the right reasons and not just because he sees someone he likes there is however a chance that Batman told Black Canary to get dressed there as a way to get Ollie to join the league tho as that is something that Batman would do.

The giant robot in this episode is the episodes main villain as it does go about attacking all of these people for literally no reason whatsoever. While the villain not really having an end goal in mind would be seen as being a bad thing given the fac that the villain is a man made robot and has pretty much only just come to life seeing everything as a threat it does make sense that it wouldn't have a plan as it wasn't created to become alive it was created to do this one job and that's it and yet when the robot does come alive and does start attacking everyone it does become to much for them to handle with even the members that the Justice League send to help having a tough time with it as they all either get beaten really badly by it or its radioactive heat proves to be to much for them to handle. To be frank here this robot is the perfect villain for these members of the league to have as it is something that does require all three of them to even get close to let alone hurt and kill which is something that does force our heroes to be better heroes and while this villain wouldn't be a match for Superman as he'd know to get it off the planet and to stick it with the rods himself for Kara it is a challenge as she's still a new hero and therefor she wouldn't know how best to defeat it let alone the fact that she's be able to stick it with the rods herself but in all fairness her not knowing that is something that does create some good drama as for all she knows the only one that could defeat this creature is Captain Atom and he gets beaten easily and while it would have made more sense for the makers of this episode to have Kara beat the monster having it be Ollie to do it does also make sense as the rods are drawn to look like arrows.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and forty five seconds. Which is pretty much the bogstandard running time for alot of animated shows like this one to have especially back in the mid to late two thousands and while this episode doesn't have to set up all that much due to it taking place in the same world as both Batman and Superman and the fact it is a direct sequel to Justice League it still does have to set up the main plot of the episode and who Ollie is as a character and why he didn't want to join the league in the first place and it wouldn't be able to do all of that and still tell a good plot with this episode having more then enough there interms of plot to really cover that amount of running time in the first place. With this episode not really using its running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't really take the time to fully develop its plot as the main plot of the episode that being the attack on the Asian country doesn't really get brought up until deep into the episodes first act and even then the episode doesn't really add much to the plot which does make the plot feel like an afterthought with the makers of this episode putting more thought and effort into telling us why Ollie didn't want to join the league in the first place then they did in giving this episodes plot some much needed plot development. This is something that is also true for the episodes character development as while you could make the case for all of the episodes either getting there development in future episodes or got it in past episodes there still did need to be some form of character development here in this episode and with this episode focusing on Ollie learning the league does care about the little guy it would have made sense as that after this mission he views the league differently and yet he doesn't as he didn't change as a character with the makers of this episode putting alot more thought and effort into making sure that we like Supergirl and then they did into giving the episodes characters some character development but I really will admit that this episode really does have same really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode 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 episode was in all honesty really good. Look no matter the show or movie it will always be cool as heck seeing one or more heroes using there powers to take down a common foe and it's the same thing here as we do get to see Green Arrow , Green Lantern , Supergirl and Captain Atom all use there powers and it just so cool to see with it even making this episodes alot more exciting as we are seeing the heroes do the things that that are known for. With the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the scene where Green Arrow , Supergirl and Captain Atom attack the robot head on as the characters have to get these rods into the robots centre chest but given that the robot is nuclear the only one that the team things could do it is Captain Atom with him giving it his all but the monster uses its gun and ribs a hole and his suit causing Captain Atom to be severely wounded which angers Kara who then proceeds to try and hit it only for the robot to wipe the floor with her Olly tho sees that the rods look like his arrows and decides to fire them at him which for a while doesn't work that is until Ollie get the high ground on the monster finally hitting it in it's centre plate switching it off with Kara then coming back in to to knock it's head off. That is such a good action scene as it shows what it is that these three heroes do best as well as showing how all three of them have different approaches to the same problem with Captain Atom doing things by the book , Kara preferring to beat it up until it doesn't move and Ollie looking to think of an alternative method which given the fact that the villain is driven by nuclear power was the right option to go with with the rest of the episodes action being just as good as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this was such a fun episode with it being easy to see why alot of people not only like this show was when it was first airing but still do like to it to this very day with the episode itself doing a good job of setting up Ollie as a character and just being a good episode to watch in general in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this episode 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 ad gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

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.

Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part One Film Review

 

There are alot of comic book movies and alot of comic book related media coming out this year as such it would be very understandable that you'd forget about one or two of them. As is the case with this film with this film really flying under the radar with there only being one trailer released near the end of last year and that's really it with there being no clips released to help to promote the film either and so then join meas I review the film that is the first film in a trilogy of films with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths Part One" enjoy.

The plot of this film is with every world being destroyed a group of heroes have to try and work out how to stop this threat before every single universe is destroyed for good. 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 with this films plot being very fitting for a three part film as the story story really is a slow burn in every single sense of the word which only goes to show just how epic this films plot really is with this films plot also being fairly weak as well which is to be expected given the three film format with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and at times also being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Darren Criss as Earth-1 Clark Kent / Kal-El /  Superman and Earth-2 Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman. Also starring in this film is Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman , Stana Katic as Diana / Wonder Woman and Superwoman , Matt Bomer as Barry Allen / The Flash , Ike Amadi as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Amazing Man and Ivo , Jimmi Simpson as Oliver Queen / Green Arrow , Meg Donnelly as Supergirl, Harbinger , Zachary Quinto as Lex Luthor , Alexandra Daddario as Lois Lane . Harry Shum Jr. as Brainiac 5 , Aldis Hodge as John Stewart and Power Ring , Ashleigh LaThrop as Iris West , Alastair Duncan as Alfred Pennyworth , Cynthia Hamidi as Dawnstar Liam Mcintyre as Aquaman and Johnny Quick , Jonathan Adams as Monitor , Geoffrey Arend as Psycho Pirate and Hawkman , Steven Universe star Zack Callison as Dick Grayson / Robin , Matt Lanter as Blue Beetle and Ultraman , Ato Essando as Mr. Terrific , Erika Ishii as Doctor Light / Dr. Hoshi and The Huntress , David Kaye as The Question , voice acting legend Nolan North as Hal Jordan /  Green Lantern , A.M.A.Z.O. and Homeless Man , Lou Diamond Phillips as The Spectre and Owlman and Keesha Sharp as Vixen.

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 giving us some really good performances for the most part as there some parts in he film where the acting isn't as good as it perhaps should have been which really isn't the fault of the actors as they were told to deliver the lines a certain way with this not really being helped by the fact that the films script isn't really that good either as it gives none of this films cast much to work interms of what it is that there their respective characters personalities and as such the films cast aren't really allowed to give the good performances that we know that they can do as this films script simply just wont allow them to do as good that we know that they can do when they have a really good script to work with.

Doing the animation for this film is Maven Image Platform and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Edge Animation Co., LTD. Now then interms of what U 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 as just like with alot of the direct to DVD DC Comics films this film does have some really good animation in it but at the same time tho this films animation isn't as good as it could have been with alot of the animation feeling flat at times and good at other times which gives us an overall mixed bag of quality animation with this film also having some really thick characters lines which can at times be really very distracting and really does take you out of the film.

As noted at the start of the review this film is meant to be the first film in a trilogy of films which is most likely the best way to tell this story. As a story that's this big really does need alot of time in order to not only tell but to do it justice and giving this film multiple parts is a smart way to go about it but on the flip side of that is the fact that there not only might not be alot of story there to warrant a further two films but given that this story is a slow burner they also run the risk of boring your audience who then might not bother seeing the further two films and this is something that the makers of all three films will have to take into account as even this film did get a bit boring at times and this is only the first film which means that you can only imagine just how dull and boring the further two films might be should the makers of those films choose to really not be careful with the story.

With this film being the first part of a multi-part story it does fall into alot of the same traps that all of those films fall into. With this film basically being an extended trailer for part two and while this film does get away with that as it is a slow burner that doesn't take away from the fact that this film sets up storylines and characters arcs that don't get payed off in this film with this film also having alot of scenes that whilst they don't add anything to this film will most likely have a bigger role to play in the further two films which makes them pointless to include in this film as everything in this film should be all about setting up things that will pay off in this film and not be payed off in a film that's coming out in several months from now  as all that does is really make this film seem watered down by comparison.

Thee are some issues to be found in this film like the fact that the film doesn't really connect to all of the other films in the Tomorrowverse which granted is a minor nitpick. However what isn't a minor nitpick is the fact that we don't really get to spend alot of time on any of the earths before they get destroyed with us only spending a handful of minuets each time before we go off to another world which doesn't really work for this film as with this film we now have two other films in order to fully tell it's story which means that we could have spent more time on alot of earths which would make us care for the characters on that particular earth which would then make us all the more upset should that earth get destroyed it's one of the things that the Arrowverse take on this story got right as we spent alot of time each episode on the various different earths and as such we had a chance to form a connection be it good or bad to those characters this is really something that this film doesn't really do when it really has more then enough time in order to fully do it.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty two minuets and forty nine seconds. With this film having just the right amount of story to cover that amount of running time whilst also doing a good job of giving you a reason to want and go and see the next film in this trilogy but at the same time this film really didn't need to be a slow burner as this film still should have been focused in getting alot of key plot points out of the way in this film just so then the next two films could be all about adding to those plot points and really yet as things stand at the very least the first half of part two would have to be getting alot of plot points set up before adding to those plot points which is really something that shouldn't really have been the case as that's what a first part of a multi-part film is for but I will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it.

So now then as this is an action film that means that I gave 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 not that bad. However that's also the issue as the action in alot of the direct to DVD DC animated films have usually been really good and yet this films action just isn't that good for the most part as while we do indeed get some really cool actions scenes those are vert few and far between with this film having barely any action scenes in it and about half of them just aren't that good with alot of them just being very dull and boring with alot of them not really doing anything all that new and while alot of them do have some really cool moments those are also very few and far between as well which does make this action seem dull and lifeless as well as being rather dull and boring in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall this is film is solid way to start of this truly iconic storyline and while splitting the film up into three segments is a good idea only time will tell if it's a truly great idea in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the hood and as well as al of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that means that this very film earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 6.5 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 Tomorrowerse fandom wiki page , the official Arrowverse fandom wiki and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episode 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.

Justice League: Warworld Film SPOILER FILLED Film Review

 

Warner Bros Pictures really are't having the best of times right now with The Flash being a box office bomb. Well now to make matters worse their latest animated direct to DVD film from DC Comics has just leaked online in it's entirety and well I just had to check this film and to play it safe i'm making this review a SPOILER FILLED review just because the film isn't technically out yet and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FILLED  review of the film that sees three of earths greatest heroes unite with the film in question being called simply just "Justice League: Warworld" enjoy.

The plot of this film is Wonder Woman , Batman and Superman all find themselves trapped in three different realities and have to find out what's really going on before it's far 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 time this films plot was also really weak as well bit it was still a fair;y entertaining plot in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Jensen Ackles as Bruce Wayne / Batman and Darren Criss as Clark Kent / Kal-El / Superman. Also starring in this film is Stana Katic as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman , Ike Amadi as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Troy Baker as Jonah Hex , John DiMaggio as Lobo , Robin Atkin Downes as Mongul , Matt Bomer as Old Man , Teddy Sears as Warlord , Captain America: The Winter Solider star Frank Grillo as King Faraday , Agents Of Shield star Brett Dalton as Bat Lash , Roger Cross as Machiste , Damian O’Haire as Deimos and Kari Wahlgren as The Harbinger.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt 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 really good. Which is to be expected as pretty much all of these direct to DVD animated DC Comics have always had some really good acting in them and while the script does this cast no favors whatsoever this cast still manages to put on some really good performances as their respective characters with the same also being really true for this films newer cast members as well.

Doing the animation for this film is Red Dog Culture House and the legends and the greats that are currently over at Edge Animation Co..LTD. 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 really good which is something that seems to be a trend of all of these Tomorrowverse films altho I still find the rather thick lines to be very distracting and something that just isn't needed at all.

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

As I said at the start of this review this film finds Batman , Superman and Wonder Woman n three different realities. With Wonder Woman being in a western , Batman being in a world that's vert much inspired by the film Heavy Metal and Superman being in what can only be described in a world that's inspired by the "Will The Real Martian, Please Stand Up" episode of the original The Twilight Zone with Wonder Woman's world being the best one out of the three just because it's a world where I can very easily see more stories being made in that world.

For so,e reason they made Jonah Hex the villain of Wonder Woman's western world which just doesn't add up as he's meant to be at the very least an anti-hero. He's not a straight up villain he's someone who will do bad things but he'll do them for the eight reasons and that is something that this film doesn't even hind at being the case which is a shame being this films of the character could have potential to be a reoccurring character in future Tomorrowverse films but I will admit that the design for the character is alot better then the one that they went with for 2010 live action Jonah Hex movie. 

As with alot of the Tomorrowverse films this film does include a tease of a possible future Justice League animated direct to DVD film and I will say that if there going with what I think that there going with. Then it's a bit to early to doing that event story as we don't really know these characters all that well just yet and as such this universe would feel far to small for the story line that I think that there going to be and as such that storyline (which yes i'm going to keep vague just on the off chance that i'm wrong) for the end of this universe and not really when it's still going.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and thirty minuets and twenty eight seconds. Which is pretty much the bog standard running time for these movies but when each of three different realities that our heroes find them selfs in takes up almost twenty minuets each that doesn't leave alot of room for telling a good story or even developing the films villain and as such this film would have been much more better served if it was a two part film instead of a one part film but I will admit that this film does have some really 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 in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However that's also the issue as this films action isn't all that good either with the actin just being OK at best and just flat out boring at it's absolutely worst in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

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

Overall this film is alot better then recent The Flash movie but that really isn't saying all that much as this still a pretty movie in it's own right which is a shame because this film had alot of potential to be a really good movie 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 earns 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 ll of the images that I personally used in this very review from the official Tomorrowverse fandom wiki page , the official DC Extended Universe fandom wiki page , IMP Awards . Com 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 really wonderful Google Images as since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us up and the great and wonderful on Google Images are all really fairly high in quality and as well as being all really fairly freaking high in definition.

Justice League: The Animated Series "Secret Origins" Parts One , Two And Three Review

 

Animation fans I thought that with Zack Snyder's Justice League currently doing the rounds on HBO Max I thought now would be the right time to remind people of a show that they perhaps either forgot about or just straight up didn't even know about in the first place. I will admit that after watching this three part episode I honestly felt that the story in this episode could have been the plot / story of a future live action Justice League movie and so join me as I review the three episodes of Justice league: The Animated Series with the episodes being called simply "Secret Origins" enjoy.

The plot of this three part episode is Earth in under threat from an alien invasion and so it's up to Batman , Superman , Green Lantern (John Stewart) , The Flash (Barry Allen) Martian Manhunter and Hawkgirl to put a stop to this invasion before all of life on earth is wiped out for good. In terms of what I thought about the plot of this three part episode in all honesty the plot of this three part episode is really freaking good just everything about the plot of this three part episode really worked for me so much so that I couldn't help picture this plot of this three part episode as the plotline / storyline of a possible future live Justice League because the plot of this three part episode was so freaking good in my humble and honest opinion.

Starring in these episodes is George Newbern as Clark Kent / Superman and an Imperium soldier and Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne / Batman and as a Technician. Also starring in these episodes are Susan Eisenberg as Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and as a Mother , Carl Lumbly as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter , Michael Rosenbaum as Barry Allen / The Flash and as a Protester and as as Martian , Phil LaMarr as John Stewart / Green Lantern and as Ed Reiss and as The General and as a Rioter , Maria Canals as Hawkgirl and as a Little Girl , Corey Burton as a Bald technician and as a Doctor , Max Brooks as Howie , Clyde Kusatsu as The Japanese Ambassador and as The Asian Technician and Gary Cole as J. Allen Carter.

In terms of what about the acting that's presented to us in these three episodes in all honesty the acting that's presented to us in these three episodes is really freaking good. Which in all honesty shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone since all of the DC Animated Universe TV Shows and films had good acting as such it's not really a surprise to see that there's good acting in these three episodes altho I will admit it was rather jarring hearing George Newbern as Clark Kent / Superman since just yesterday I had heard Tim Daly as Clarke Kent / Superman in the movie / film / TV episode of Superman: The Animated Series which was called simply "The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest" but that's just what I think anyways.

Doing the animation for all three of this three part episode / story is Koko Enterprise Co., LTD. don't worry if you haven't heard of them because in all honesty i've not even heard of Koko Enterprise Co., LTD. either. In terms of what about the animation that's in all three of these episodes in all honesty the animation that's in all three of these episodes really did surprise me because I thought that the animation that was in all three of these was really good and heck i'd go as far to say that the animation that's in all three of these episodes is alot better then the animation that's in "The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest" just because the animation that we get in these three episodes is really energised and there are some really fluid movements from all of the characters as well all of which make the animation in these three episodes really good and in my opinion easily better then the animation that's seen in "The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest" in my humble and honest opinion anyways.

Now then this show is responsible for introducing Wonder Woman into the DC Animated Universe (DCAU) and as well as introducing Wonder Woman into the DCAU we also get her arriving to man's world. I honestly thought that it was very brave of the makers of this show to introduce a key character like Wonder Woman without really giving out much details about her origin simply because any of the main stream audience who was watching this three part might not have been aware of firstly who Diana Prince /Wonder Woman even is and secondly they might even be aware of the origin story for Diana Prince / Wonder Woman and so introducing Diana Prince /Wonder Woman in this three part episode without doing her origin was in my opinion at least a very brave move on the makers of this shows but that's just what I think anyways.

I will admit that I liked how all of the other members of the Justice League are introduced since it would be rather jarring to see what each of the Justice League members are like when they are not fighting crime. As such having them all show up to help out Batman , Superman and Martian Manhunter to me makes a lot of sense since it stream lines the story and it makes the villains of this three part episode seem like even more of a threat because it shows us the audience that these villains can't be defeated by either Batman , Superman or Martian Manhunter and so it's going to take all of the heroes that we meet in this three episode storyline to defeat these villains but that's just what I think anyways.

Now for some strange reason the makers of this show thought that it would be a great idea to have a fully CGI animated opening title sequence now while the CGI that's in the opening title sequence to Justice League: The Animated Series it is however something that has aged horrible since the CGI looks horrible. In fact i'd go as far go as far to say that the CGI that's featured in the opening title sequence to Justice League: The Animated Series is pure nightmare fuel because all of the members of the Justice league look terrible and the quality of the CGI that's in the opening title sequence to Justice League: The Animated Series is at best horrible since it looks like the kind of CGI that you'd see in a late Playstation 2 game cutscene but that's just in my humble and honest opinion tho.

Now all three of these episodes run for a total of at least one hour and four minuets but there's more then a huge chance that I could be wrong tho so don't hold me to that running time. I honestly like the fact that this story was spread out over three episodes since it gives the story more time to breath instead of the story being rushed in either a standard twenty two minuet episode or two episodes which would have a total running of at least forty four minuets plus it makes the story feel alot more epic as well in my humble and honest opinion.

Now then boys and girls since Justice league: The Animated Series is an action and since there is action in these three part episodes and that means that I have to talk about the action that's in this three part episode and if i'm being honest the action that's in this three part episode is exactly as fun as you'd want it to be. Since it's always fun seeing all of the Justice League fighting together and it helps that we see alot of just really cool as hell moments in the action scenes that appear in these three episodes but that's just what I think tho.

Overall this was a really good start to the series in my humble and honest opinion and it just goes to show you how good a Justice League animated TV show can truly be. Now then boys and girls this isn't a perfect episode by any means / any stretch of the imagination but it's a damn close one tho since i've talked about both of the good and the bad things that are in this three part episode in this very review and as such this episode gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me , as for where I got the images I used in this review well I got all of the images that I used in this review from either the official DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page , the official Wonder Woman or the official Young Justice fandom wiki page with my preferred website to use to get images from this review being the official DC Animated Universe fandom wiki page just due to how shockingly high quality the images are.
