Justice League : Crisis on Infinite Earths Partie 3

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.

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 really don't like this style of animation. When the DCAMU was over I thought they had some better plan with animated movies in the future but this downgrade saga is what we got.

The voice acting? They got famous actors for the acting but it doesn't fit at all. Remember when we have Jason O'mara as Batman and Matt Ryan as Constantine? Also, I like Allen(?) as Damian. His voice really suited Damian's character. Oh, and Constantine in this animation style is far from cool. I mean everyone suits here is a mess.

When the first DCAMU movie come out everything got upgrades and redesigned. It was more modern and beautiful. I don't know what happened in DC' crews now but I really disappointed.

It amazes me how Jeff Wamester still keeps his job as a director for DC animation department at WB. For many years he made abysmal animation effort for the brand so much that it feels like a new normal. WB DC animation used be regarded in such a high manner it saddens to see such works.

Crisis on Infinite Earths was a really weird, but nonetheless important and culturally significant event for comic books history. It never seemed like an easy job to transfer it in animation or live action medium. So for it to succeed it had to at least be gorgeously animated and story wise fulfil the main themes of comics narrative.

But what we got here is a lazy, non coherent work, which removes the most interesting parts of the story and fills in the gaps with terrible animation sequences, a lot of exposition and a bunch of parts that could've been cut out altogether. At the end we get a product that is so boring, that I've fallen asleep a couple of times and had to rewind it.

I was never a really big fan of the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, but I did respect the original authors and how they managed to fill in so much in one story. Having that material should've helped to at least make a coherent story for animation, but what we got is a cheap spit to the face of animation industry, especially for those animators who previously were so successful and hard working in DC department. It's just a shame that after all this time fans got to see the worst kind of imagination of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Story is just odd. It's not exactly hard to follow just not interesting and the art is really weird for many of the characters and voice acting or lines is odd. Some characters don't seem to be characterized or written well....

I'm not sure if it's worth watching or not. I spent the whole time looking at my phone and writing this review cause it was more interesting then watching the movie. I think it's kind of has an interesting story or start to one, but it seems like it's trying to be an origin story and set up a new big bad guy. Just seems too busy and like it's trying to do too much rather then just be a good animated super hero movie.
