Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three

I don't understand people hating on everything, read the comments and it seems like it was not meaningful enough or some stupid thing like that!

I feel like people forget to just enjoy entertainment, not that it had no flaws but comparing to part 2 or many of the past 5 years content they threw at us, this was better than I expected!

Yes I get that it's not perfectly like what happened in comic books but I really thought it was close enough and kept the ending mystery to the very last moments which I believe hasn't happened for a long time!

And Thank you for not sending Flash back again to do something, I could have not stand that type of ending anymore.

7/10 I think it's fair.

The Crisis on Infinite Earths and a trilogy long awaited by DC animated film fans are over.

I like that in this conclusion there are several versions of the same characters with the same importance, and even a couple of sequences that show versions that cross the barrier of the DC animated cinematic universe.

The story is entertaining to watch, because it really is a plot on epic scales, but the solutions are very simplistic. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is really the original story or not, it bothers me a lot that the story requires so many unjustified sacrifices as a deus ex machina and that Superman is so irritatingly available to sacrifice himself. Yes, he is DC's greatest hero, but this story goes beyond the man of steel. The character cries out for attention that he no longer has and it doesn't work that he is in the position of leader either.

Regarding the edition, I think I would have liked to see a condensed movie of up to 3 hours long instead of watching 3 parts of 90 minutes. There are shortcomings in the editing of the entire project that could have been easily fixed by removing unnecessary script lines and overly long sequences.

All in all, I had fun, but it could have been much better in many ways. Let's hope that the new animated universe maintains the quality or even surpasses it in James Gunn's hands.

I'm not versed in the source material at all outside of common knowledge for fans of the shared universe, so my enjoyment of this film is for the film itself. That, and the Tomorrowverse overall. Were I an avid reader of the comics and knew Crisis well, it would not surprise me to find myself disliking this far more.

But as a trilogy, this conclusion really wasn't so bad. It was greatly helped by brief visits to well-loved shows in the past, all in its original art style no less. The nostalgia train hit me so hard I couldn't help but instantly like this film a little more the second it came on screen. This movie also had some decent moments unrelated to old heavy hitters. While it wasn't the best of the franchise, I still enjoyed it for what it is.

However, the main issue with these recent films is that hardly any of them are complete stories by themselves. It's all tied to other entries that came before it. If this only happened for the trilogy I wouldn't judge so harshly, since parts 1, 2 and 3 are literally in the title. But we also saw this for films that preceded it, transforming these into episodes of the same story and not separate, though inter-connected movies. This happens when there's too much crossover which blurs the entire arc into one amalgamation. Instead of cool references here and there where the audience can get excited at recognizing something for having seen previous installments, thorough knowledge of the continuity is expected of the viewer which easily becomes drag when seemingly the same story has been occurring for a long, long time. Perhaps this was intentional due to it being infinite earths and all. If so, the intent is appreciated, but left wanting in practice. Or maybe their assumed audience are all DC diehards, in which case this isn't great storytelling.

It also has to be mentioned that some scenes are poorly done. It's hard to describe but the quality throughout the trilogy, as well as many of the films before it is noticeably inconsistent. You've got moments that are excellent while others are so low-effort it's amazing they're in the same movie. Don't know what's happening in the animation studio but it seriously affects the end result in a negative way.

I'm a DC fan. These characters are among my favorites in any franchise. This means I'll continue to watch whatever DC puts out. Having said that, Tomorrowverse was disappointing overall. Too much reliance on previous entries aside, with very few exceptions it wasn't until this film that our heroes started feeling like the people we know and love. Then, suddenly, it's over. Quite a bittersweet send-off. There's something missing, but by this point I'm somewhat glad it's done.

I waited until I had finished Part 3 before rating and reviewing because it is folly to view these as three separate movies rather than as a series.

Had just a little more care been taken, I believe this trilogy would have been cinema-worthy. The artwork looks like Archer, the pacing is terrible; Part 1, a story where the Flash races through alternate dimensions, should have crackled with energy. Instead, it has gaps of leaden silence, where stilled cells linger more than a beat too long. There are serious continuity issues, where it is impossible to tell where characters physically are in the 'multiverse', and I kept thinking I had missed a section of storyline.

It is interesting what DC have tried to do, here (even for the third time) using a storyline to repair what was a greedy boardroom decision, and the mature, subdued tone is appropriate. Additionally, the voice cast are fantastic, and this is the final chance to hear the Conroy/Hamill partnership. But, if this was such a big deal for the DCAMU, an extra three months of work would have raised it from an oddity to an epic.

The two first instalments were okay/good and set things up pretty well. I think the story could have been cut shorter, but overall we have enough mystery, setup, and entertainment to keep the viewer interested. Sadly they failed to nail the landing. This is convoluted, dragged out, and just goes on and on, having several endings which never is the ending. I was yawning and wondering what to have for dinner rather than being interested in the last battle.

The voice actors mainly do a great job, and this is not horrible, it is just a letdown after having a good setup.

I am not going to go into more details or spoil this, but I honestly think the CW did it better, which should tell you all you need to know.
