Liga de la Justicia: El trono de Atlantis

Essentially acting as an origin story for 'Aquaman', 'Justice League: Throne Of Atlantis (2015)' has some exciting and genuinely tense set-pieces which weave together a political-intrigue plot with a more conventional 'superhero' story. It usually balances its 'beat 'em up's with its character development pretty nicely and it even manages to throw a few emotionally affecting surprises in the mix for good measure. When all is said and done, though, it ultimately falls back on a more traditional third act that feels ever-so-slightly third-rate, even if it is well animated and entertaining to a decent extent. The flick also has a number of strange issues, such as the occasional blatantly unnecessary line of blatant exposition and some supporting voice-work that isn't really up to par. In the end, it's an entertaining animation that includes some well-realised, if slightly generic, interpretations of its characters but falls short in a few key areas. 6/10

Great animation. No problems with voice acting. Plot wasnt super interesting but good. Not really any plot holes. Nathan Fillion is awesome. Good ending.

I enjoyed Justice League: Throne of Atlantis with its beautiful animation and often intense action, but the best thing was the origin of Aquaman.

He is half human and half Atlantian and must reconquer the throne and free his people of the strains of being hidden under the sea. But his evil half-brother Orm is all about destroying the surface world and goes to great lengths to make it. The Justice League must investigate the mysterious happenings in the Atlantic Ocean only to discover Atlantis and the threat Orm's vengeful mindset is to peace between worlds.

Even though an improvement over Justice League: War with credit to the writers making better characterizations of the league members its short running time of only 72 minutes makes the feel convoluted and at times rushed.

Love animation and have really enjoyed to loved many superhero films, animated and live-action. Justice League has always interested me too. 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' deserves a lot of plaudits for making Aquaman more fleshed out and is an enjoyable film in its own right.

Is 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' better than 'Justice League: War'? Yes, it is a vast improvement, was underwhelmed by that film in a very mixed bag sort of way although not finding it that bad. Is it one of the best animated DC films? No, there are others that are a lot better. Is it one of the worst? Nowhere near. Is it perfect? No, it had the potential to be great but is only good, many fine things but falls short in other areas.

'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' would have fared better with a longer length, an hour and a quarter or so is far too short. That way it would have felt less rushed and characters and subplots would have been much more developed than they were and made sense more.

Superman and Wonder Woman are particularly wronged of the Justice League, with Superman continuing to be out of character, and their pairing was forced and didn't make sense. Orm had some menace but felt underwritten to me.

However, the animation is great. There are some very nice detailed backgrounds, the characters are designed well and the colours are dynamic and atmospheric.

The music is both haunting and rousing, a good fit for the film's mood. The action is nicely animated and has a good amount of thrills. The story is compelling enough and making Aquaman interesting and relatable was a good move and came off well.

Voice acting is good. Cyborg, Flash, Batman and Aquaman are spot on, while Sam Witwer is credible as Orm. The voices for Green Lantern, Woman Woman and Superman are much improved over 'Justice League: War', and better suited. Green Lantern especially.

Concluding, good if not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Without any question or doubt, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is the definitive telling of Aquaman's origins. as the bastard son of Queen Atlanta, he has a difficult hero's journey ahead. the twist of Manta coaxing Orm into war is brilliant, and well executed. were there problems? sure. but who cares? the idea of an already engaged Atlantean Princess having been impregnated by a human and having to leave soon after giving birth to her son ups the ante on the whole Hero's Journey that we've been seeing throughout mythology. the one thing about this i don't like is they replaced Martian Manhunter with Shazam, who's not one of the founding members in the comics. but, it's the New 52 version, so what the hell?
