Justice League: Warworld

I've always said DC animated moves beat any live action even MCU, but since this "tomorrowverse" started it's just poor.

We want adaptations of our favourite stories, I thought seeing Bruce dressed like that we'd get the return of Bruce Wayne story. But nope!

The stories just suck.

I've been waiting for a Batman contagion/cataclysm No man's land story for years. Superman worlds at war, even a proper warworld story.

Seeing the name I expected a good movie with mongul and warworld but no this is what we're given.

The writers cannot write wonder woman We need stories that matter.

I know we're getting crisis movie but follow that with flash rebirth, GL rebirth, blackest night, give us a nightwing story that we all want.

A proper character story just not batman (ironic as I want no man's land)

DC have a sold 40 years of great stories ( pre 80s was bad in general)

I can't see what this story is from, seems original, but we don't want original, we want animated versions of what we love to read.

It is like the department sacked everyone and employed some lame writers and illustrators. The story is all over the place and is incoherent, there is no reason why any of it is going on or what for.

This is the poorest DC movie I have seen and to be honest they are normally excellent, the Flashpoint, Batman and all the Superman animated stuff has excelled. I just hope this is a single misfire and not they way DC is going to go and end up like their movie releases, otherwise they are going to find themselves with a lot less people who will be interested in these types of movies.

Come on DC you can do better.

Justice League: Warworld is a huge misfire for the tomorrow-verse, wasting an interesting concept on an enjoyable but completely pointless 90 minute adventure that's made worse by some hilariously awful set up for the next crisis in this universe.

Taking away the identities of the League and putting them each in a different environment is a superb idea if they actually chose settings and stories that were linked to who these characters are deep down but these feel so random. Superman's comes closest as it almost tests what truth, justice and the American way really means.

Still, there's some funny be had in seeing Wonder Woman battle Jonah Hex in the Wild West and Batman fight a giant snake. Jensen Ackles, Darren Criss and Stana Katic are all fine here but really aren't given much, no arcs, no chemistry but they sound like their characters.

The animation is good, since all of these use the same style it kinda gets less impressive as they go along but it's by no means bad and still an improvement over the previous one. The pacing isn't good as it goes from an overly long first act into rushed a third act but it's rarely boring.

A series of beautifully animated, overly bloody, poorly written and totally inconsequential stories that culminate in a disjointed ending that ultimately serves no purpose.

I'm genuinely not sure there's been a properly good DC Animated movie since the Flashpoint series, although the standard of the new voice acting is excellent and overall the animation quality is higher than it used to be, but the last few have been so incredibly lacklustre that it really makes no sense why they're putting money into these stories instead of further Elseworld adaptions or any of the million excellent Batman/Superman standalone graphic novels.

If you've got 90 minutes to burn, this one is fine, but it really doesn't add anything if you've got fond memories of the adaptions of 10 years ago.

The DC Animated Films have always been a mixed bunch, but their newest addition, Justice League: Warworld, falls on the lesser side of quality. With an anthology type set-up, each story feels bland and emotionless, not providing much excitement or engagement. The voice acting is stiff and feels like a table-reading, instead of the final take. While the animation is fine, it has no expression and feels very standard. All the elements begin to feel boring before the first story is over and with nothing special in between, the ending could not come quicker. The R rating proved to be completely pointless, as nothing is done with it and it looked like just an excuse to have a Justice League film that includes some blood. Hopefully the new direction of the DCEU can provide a higher quality in the animated films too.
