Justice League x RWBY: Supereroi e Cacciatori: Parte 1

Right, well I did not know about this DC animated movie titled "Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One" prior to stumbling upon it by sheer, random luck. And I opted to sit down and watch it, since I had the free time. Usually I am not overly keen on superhero things, so I wasn't exactly thrilled to find this particular animated movie.

First of all, the title of the movie, "Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One", is just not one that has any appeal to it whatsoever. It feels cluttered, clumbsy and just too long. And already there was the first anchor around the ankles of the movie.

The next anchor was the art style used. It looked like unfinished graphics for a 1990s computer game. It was seriously lacking textures and layers, and looked too plain and unfinished. Plus the fact that it was reminiscent of something trying to imitate Anime, but not fully delving into the Japanese art style. And those things just killed off "Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One" for me. And I ended up giving up on it not even a quarter-way through the ordeal.

I don't even know what RWBY is, and thus can't claim that this aspect of this crossover DC animated movie had any appeal either.

I can't say whether or not the storyline in "Justice League x RWBY: Super Heroes and Huntsmen Part One" was good, because I just simply hadn't seen enough to form an opinon on it. But the art style in this 2023 animated movie from writer Meghan Fitzmartin and director Kerry Shawcross just didn't appeal to me in any way.

This 2023 animated movie receives a generous two out of ten stars from me, as I am not interested in watching something that looks like a discarded 1990s computer game that didn't make the cut because of subpar graphics.

I had no knowledge of RWBY, only in DC, so I went in relatively blind. I didn't expect any deep storytelling, themes etc.. Just a fun time. And that's what I got.

I liked most of the different character interactions (in particular Jess and Jaune), the action scenes were great, and the mystery for how the Justice League seemingly arrived at Remnant was handled really well.

I also really liked most of the new designs for the Justice League members to make them fit in the RWBY world. Giving Batman batwings seemed as an odd choice, but it worked.

The movie ends with bit of a cliffhanger (its called Part One.. duh), but I'm definitely looking forward to Part Two.

So, I finally saw this movie and I enjoyed it about as much as I expected. I certainly didn't hate it, but I didn't think it was great either. It was meh, just like the original RWBYxJustice League comic. Would I recommend this? To hardcore RWBY fans, sure. In fact, RWBY fans should watch and support this so we can hopefully get Volume 10. But I don't think DC fans will get much out of this, unless you're a big Jessica Cruz fan. Batman fans especially should stay away from this, as they do his character quite dirty here.

This crossover in and of itself I always questioned; "Why is this a thing?" Pairing RWBY with the JL always seemed like a weird idea to me. I'm a big DC fan, and I'm a fan of RWBY too, but the two never seemed compatible to me. I felt that about the comic, and even more so about this. When I think about what franchises would make cool crossovers with RWBY, I think Final Fantasy 7. The world of RWBY has always reminded me a lot of FF7, ad we already had a Yang vs. Tifa death battle way back. Other crossovers I wouldn't mind seeing are RWBYxDestiny or RWBYxHonkai Impact. Those would fit with RWBY more than this.

And if this film needed to happen, why couldn't they just adapt the comic they made. I didn't think the comic was great either, but I honestly prefer that over this. I liked the story more, and the comic had a better villain. I mean Starro isn't exactly an A-lister, but he's at least a somewhat iconic villain that I recognize. Here we have some villain I've never even heard of before, and I've watched & read a lot of DC stuff. Changing the story drastically from the comic also brings up a couple plot holes too. Batman having powers makes no sense in this movie the way it did in the comic. Though, there is one change I'm glad they made.

Easily the best thing about this movie is Jessica Cruz. I'll even go as far as to say this is my favorite version of this character. I love her design, and her arc was easily the best of the film. So, I'm grateful to this movie for that at least. As for the designs for the rest of the JL; I really like Vixen's look. The designs for Wonder Woman, Cyborg, and the Flash are...there. They're okay, I guess.

The designs for Batman and Superman are lame. They were lame in the comic, and they're lame here. What's more, this Batman does not feel like Batman at all. And the guy they got to voice him is just horrid. He sounds like he's phoning in his lines while drunk. As I said, hardcore Batman fans should stay away from this.

It was a bit cool seeing some of Vale/Beacon in the Maya engine, with RWBY in their original attire. I guess I don't mind Superman helping RWBY to have confidence as a leader. It fits since this does take place during the Atlas arc. Though, I wish Ruby had a bit more to do in the finale. Way to go writers. Way to keep with that RWBY tradition. Well, at least I have V9.

Really did not know what to expect, but one thing that stood out was the bad animation. Seemed to be rushed or not finished as far as the animation went. Probably not done at a studio that has much experience . Not sure what would make someone think this collaboration was a good idea. Unless you are a rwby fan, you'll probably not be interested in this. Voice acting of the league characters was not great by any means, not going to bother if there is a part two. I enjoy all the dc animated features but not this one. Seems to be more oriented towards a pre-teen specific rwby crowd. Has not much in the way of draws for any DC fan.

The whole thing is atrocious ... from the animation to the voice acting (and here I'm talking mostly about the RWBY cast). It's so sad that they let Roster Teeth butcher such a beloved franchise .... it's a big fat NO from me.

I mean who had this uninspired idea to do such crossover or at least they should've let people behind DC movies do all the work not those from Roster Teeth .... they ruined it, the animation is beyond cheap and the script is so out of character and feels like there are some OC characters and not characters from DC.

It's a total waste of one's time so if you can avoid it do it , at all cost .... I couldn't last more than 10 minutes in it because of how bad it is.
