Sadly Over-hyped

Better Late Then Never

A Disappointing Continuation

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

This is the most entertaining superhero animation movie i have seen in recent years and i have seen a lot . It is full of humour like really full so if you like action filled with light hear-ted jokes you will be satisfied . The chemistry is almost palatable ,you can taste it . Good for young adults as well as late adults. not much for kids maybe . Loved it .

The film is so generic it's almost impossible to discuss it without spoilage. So take that as a warning.If I were to sum the film up in one sentence: The leftist indoctrination is strong with this one.Let's count shall we: Conservatives painted as stupid via an obvious strawman. Conservatives insulted, suggesting they are actually closet perverts instead of actually believing in their scruples. Leftist activities (i.e. violent protests and, "hanging effigies") projected upon conservatives. Conservatives insulted via inference of impotence by the crowd's "tiny size". Transgenderism, after being used to facilitate misandric attack upon masculinity, is then championed as, "powerful," via a social idiot (suggesting stupidity equals morality or truth).And that's just one 20 second scene. It get's, "better. The typical tropes we've come to expect from terrible leftist programming are seeped into the film. The, "boys are bad," and, "successful people are assholes," are thrown in fairly early. Three windows get blown out on the 20th floor of a building in front of a 7 year old boy and the parents, literally in the next room come running and exclaim angrily, "what have you done," instead of, "are you okay." I don't know of any wealthy successful family both callous enough to be unconcerned with their child's safety OR be so patently STUPID as to actually be unable to discern three large windows on smashing all at once could not have been the fault of a 7 year old boy.That's not so bad, you say? Well how about right before those examples the audience is spoon-fed both the female entitlement, "strong independent woman," and possibly even, "rape-culture," insinuations as a woman just saved from a 100ft fall from the arms of a slavering demon monster asks the Green Lantern, "what's it going to cost me." To the writers' credit the Green Lantern snubs her insolence and leaves her up on the roof. Speaking of, "strong independent women," we have the social idiot, Wonder Woman, going full Mary Sue for most of the movie. Remember those slavering monsters? They put Batman, Green Lantern, and even Superman through their paces, where they are either struggling or at least getting smacked once or twice by the monsters. Yet Wonder Woman, who is nowhere near as powerful as Superman or Green Lantern, nor anywhere as skilled as Batman, simply wades through scores of the baddies like they are standing still (because for the most part, they were). To add insult to injury, SHE has to jump out of Air Force One to save the MOST POWERFUL MAN ON EARTH. Here's a hint SJWs, we are more than happy to accept a superheroine saving men... as long as the rest of their portrayal is even remotely believable. You stick a Mary Sue in our faces, and we're going to scoff at literally everything she does. The only thing ever landing a hit on her was a black character who responded to the white woman's aggression instinctually and the ultimate big bad. No I'm not making this up.Cut out the WW get's the strongest man who then white knights for her for word count.Captain Marvel is an ungrateful foster child who goes out gate crashing and stealing jerseys... Great message DC.Then we have the, dysfunctional family issue. Oh how child self esteem is SOOOO important. Even more important than figuring out what one of many alien devices, planted around the globe by the aforementioned slavering monster baddies, function is. Well evidently it's just super important, as the quarterback teenager barges into a TOP SECRET secure technology lab where all alien technology recovered by the government is kept just to get into a heated argument with your dad, whose portrayed like an arse (even though his argument isn't exactly a bad one), while he's at a critical stage of analysis.We don't even get to avoid the racism bit. When the Green Lantern and Batman find a device of alien origin which they cannot identify, lacking any other ideas they decide to ask the only alien they know of if he has any clue. Cue, "we're not all the same," ungulate excrement. As if there was a sign or guidebook Bats and Hal could have used to find the, "right," aliens.Unfortunately, even if you were to cleanse the film of all the leftist insanity it would still fall short in many places. The voice actors for one. Both Batman and the big bad Darkseid have terrible voice actors. Droning and monotonous without any inflection at all. I honestly believe Microsoft Sam would have done a better job for many of their lines. The big bad's henchmen feels and pontificates just like a bad guy ripped right out of 1980's Voltron, yes even with the poor English overdub and animation.The story was at least effectively cogent. Plot wise, it makes sense; even if the whole story is pathetically simplistic and formulaic. Bad guy comes to Earth to eat/brainwash humans for his army, captures top good guy to be, "bad champion," good guys save their friend then make bad guy go back to where he came from. The only coincidental events, considering the DC universe back stories, is Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel's inclusion. As for the battle scenes... Meh. Some of the earlier ones were okay, especially when dealing with Batman. When WW get's on the scene, it's just her dancing around static unmoving baddies, and later scenes there's not much going on but straight line punches/lunges/batarang/bolts/twisty-air shots at the big bad.Bottom line, the movie is just plain bad. Not bad enough to walk out of or turn off; but the constant leftist dogma tears away at the quality and suspension of disbelief (yes, even with "super"heroes like Superman and Batman) of the film. Whatever you do, don't spend money on this movie.

Waves of parademons attack and Earth's main super-heroes band together in defence somewhat reluctantly (because they don't like each other).This animated movie tells a very simple story of a huge but unfocused invasion, fought off by well-known superheroes and Cyborg. There is some origin stuff (including Cyborg), but not enough given that these are the New 52 versions of the characters. And that means that Superman is not a character of humility and nobility, he's a brash young man driven by impulse. Wonder Woman is not a character of gravitas and depth, she is shallow and temperamental. Cosmic policeman Green Lantern, responsible for a huge sector of the galaxy, is a trivial smartar$e. And so on. These are not the characters many viewers will be expecting to see, and they needed more explanation.The film, which has virtually no substance behind the almost non-stop action, is a wonderful example of just how misconceived DC's New 52 reboot was: just about everything which made its characters so iconic has been abandoned and replaced with something not as good. At a stroke, overall quality has been diminished by a material amount.Lamentable.

A lot of people seem to be displeased with the personality changes of some of the heroes like Superman and Wonder Woman but they don't realize that this movie is based off of the New 52 universe, not the Justice League/Unlimited universe. Superman has a shorter temper in this variant and there are some other changes too.That aside, this movie was very entertaining. The dialogue was funny and quick witted, especially Batman. Some of the heroes through a few curse words and such which gave it a realistic feel. There weren't any corny cheesy moments which is a plus. The animation and character design was great, especially Wonder Woman's new outfit. I'm not a tough critic, movies are meant to be enjoyable and after watching this, I was happy with it. I only reserve a 10 rating for movies that I continue to think about long after I'm done watching so this movie gets a 9. Fantastic and would recommend to anyone who enjoys the DC universe.
