Justice League : Crisis on Infinite Earths Partie 3

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.

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.

Look, I'm easily manipulated, emotionally, by movies and I know it. I TRY to compensate for it when I rate movies and I think I did pretty well here. The ending got me teary mainly because of the musical cues it used, and those kinds of musical cues ALWAYS get a tear or two from me because, well, that's what they're supposed to do. That being said, as emotional as the ending got me, this still isn't a great movie. It IS better than the first and second installments though.

It also gets a bonus, 7th Star, because of Kevin Goddamn Conroy. The greatest VA to EVER voice The Bat, and arguable one of the best Batmans ever - including the live-action ones. What a gem he was...

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.

I waited until I had finished Part 3 before rating and reviewing because it is folly to view these as three separate movies rather than as a series.

Had just a little more care been taken, I believe this trilogy would have been cinema-worthy. The artwork looks like Archer, the pacing is terrible; Part 1, a story where the Flash races through alternate dimensions, should have crackled with energy. Instead, it has gaps of leaden silence, where stilled cells linger more than a beat too long. There are serious continuity issues, where it is impossible to tell where characters physically are in the 'multiverse', and I kept thinking I had missed a section of storyline.

It is interesting what DC have tried to do, here (even for the third time) using a storyline to repair what was a greedy boardroom decision, and the mature, subdued tone is appropriate. Additionally, the voice cast are fantastic, and this is the final chance to hear the Conroy/Hamill partnership. But, if this was such a big deal for the DCAMU, an extra three months of work would have raised it from an oddity to an epic.
