Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Partie 2

I swear there is nothing to spoil in that movie because nothing happen in 1h30. First movie was really a mess this one can't be a mess because it has no direction.

You watch splitted scenes of some earths and you have no idea which earth you are on because the movie doesn't event bother to display a message "Earth 2" or something.

You have to understand you are on a different earth by yourself if you are on a different earth.

Again, there is no story, nothing is happening except some useless talk and forgettable fights. The DCAMU was much better even it wasn't the best of its genre at least we had something decent.

But here, the movie is just an excuse to justify 3 parts movie where we could have scrapped this movie into 15 min scene and have 2 parts movie well even just one movie.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Two" falls short of expectations, straying far from its source material and struggling with pacing and coherence. While the animation quality is adequate, the film fails to capture the essence of the beloved comic storyline.

One of the few bright spots is the innovative reimagining of Supergirl as Harbinger, which adds an interesting twist to the narrative. However, this creative decision isn't enough to salvage the overall experience.

The movie's biggest flaw lies in its confusing narrative structure. Viewers are left disoriented, unable to discern which Earth the characters are on at any given moment. This lack of clarity is exacerbated by the apparent emptiness of these worlds, failing to convey any real sense of danger or urgency to the multiverse-spanning crisis.

Pacing issues plague the film, with an excessive focus on Psycho Pirate's backstory that feels unnecessary and detracts from the main plot. The editing does the story no favors, further muddling an already convoluted narrative.

For fans of the original comic, this adaptation may prove disappointing. The film's departure from the source material is so significant that it's difficult to recognize the beloved story within this interpretation.

Ultimately, "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Two" feels like a missed opportunity. Perhaps a future edit combining all three parts of this series, significantly trimmed down, could result in a more cohesive and engaging experience. As it stands, however, this installment fails to do justice to its epic source material.

Rating: 3/10 stars.

Now the first part of the movie is great. Kara, Psycho Pirate, Harbinger, Monitor were essential to the Crisis Saga. It is great to see them fleshed out in this reimagination. The new harbinger twist is great and connects the story better than the original version.

Then as the movie progresses it gets mired in the shadow demon arc in a bad way. Instead of focusing on telling a good story and trusting in it, you notice how DC falls back to it's safe space, pandering to its base by fanservicing popular characters like the Batfamily and Wonder Woman despite their irrelevance at the point in the story. An endless boring fightscene is only rarely interrupted for plot progression. Now strategically, DC probably know what they are doing. They know their fanbase well and if Batman is here they will come. But from a storytelling perspective and for the quality of the movie, it is a terrible decision.

Also, the animation quality needs to step into this millenia.

The premise of Crisis Part 1 was intriguing enough to wait for this sequel, but I was mislead. Part 2 is dry, convoluted, disjointed and just plain subpar for DC. Disposal characters come and go. Storylines are hinted at and then left unfinished. Overstuffed and bloated theatrics that leaves the viewer starving for real substance. Such a disappointment as there was so much material to work with and work from. I stopped caring about plot points and character development within the first 30 minutes. I suffered through the entirety to make sure it didn't uptick in the final waning moments. Trust me. It just didn't stick the landing.

Just 90 minutes of continuously boring and incompetent writing. It's true when reviewers state that spoilers can't be posted because nothing actually happens to be spoiled.

Just one of the many examples of the incompetence in the writing is Superman needs Supergirl's help to simply blow out a fire while he needs to just weld one wire connection to fix the problem. When he can move at the speed of The Flash. A task that could have been completed by him in less time than it took him to say "Ok, Kara. Hit it." The 90 minutes are just full of shamefully written scenes like these by James Krieg.

It's absolutely inconceivable why this "project" requires a 3 movie set. Let alone got the production of just 1 movie approved.

Shame on you, Krieg, for accepting a paycheck for this stuff. 3 out of 10 is being generous.
