Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two

part 2

vt

the stories are perfect but the animation style is a little off than part 1 and the other animated movies

For as long as i can remember DC animate movies were great. But these last 4 0r 5 cartoon movies not met expectation. They are no longer entertaining or fun. This feels like it wants to be smart and edgy but leaves me feeling like its outdated. Tomorrowverse has not been putting out the same way DCAMU. What DCAMU does better is story telling! It engages pulls fans in without trying to hard and is not all over the place. Some of the way Tomorrowverse seems like its try to force character development down your throat and is so boring. These films will not reach the younger generation because it has to compete not just with Marvel but Anime in it self. And someone who watches both, i can not recommend this anyone i know. These last two Infinite Earths movie were terrible. The only i can see DC animation movies being interesting again is start over and let DCAMU do there thing because they were headed in a good direction before all lose all interest.

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.

This movie is enjoyable enough, especially if you're already a DC fan and are familiar with the characters. I do not think its as great as the previous DC films, as the other reviewers have mentioned. But beyond the clunky animation and mediocre voice acting and other minor issues, I enjoyed the movie. To me the strongest part of this movie was the dialogue and characters. Spoilers, psycho pirate makes an appearance and his backstory, monologue, and interactions with others was interesting. I also liked the monitor's relationship with Kara, and "satellite," a sentient robot. Kara and Monitor have sort of a father-daughter, and how it all turned out at the end was a beautiful tragedy. Overall, the reviews here feel too harsh, is it a masterpiece? No. Is it great? Maybe not. Is it enjoyable and entertaining if you've watched the previous parts and are an established DC fan? Yes, I think so.

Yeah this wasn't actually good but it was better than part 1 but that's not hard to do. The animation is still an odd choice. With all the amazing animation in DC animations history and this is what they went with to tell their Arguably largest story arc. Or was it simply down to budget. The worst part is the actress who is voicing Wonder Woman. I can't be sure but I think she was trying to copy Gal Gadot's accent but she comes across far more Russian than Israeli. I mean did she record her part and send it in? I can't imagine that production heard her take on Wonder Woman and thought it was good. Then again they chose the animators so clearly some people shouldn't have creative control. The only thing this movie is doing is making wish I'd just watched Arrowverse Crisis crossover. It may not be perfect but compared to this it's the Citizen freaking Kane of comic book adaptations.

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.

Where to start.... the continuity and flow of movie/episode was all over the place. The first movie left no real impression and this followed on from. It places focus on characters individually and not as a collective. I don't know what to call this, it doesn't feel like a movie as such more so stints and pieces of different characters trying to achieve the same goal and fighting the same enemy. Hard to believe Flash is so fast he missed Charles. Really use to look forward to DC movies, they had so much good stock but it's just slowly got worse and worse as they've aged. I know DC has always had a serious tone to it, which is what I've enjoy from DC but this seemed more flat above anything else.

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.
