    It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

    The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

    I first saw the trailer of the show online after school one day,and when I watched the first episode of the show,I really liked it and saw great potential.But after watching the rest of the episodes and seeing all of the controversies about the show not being back on Saturday mornings,and then the show being cancelled and people saying that Young Justice is the best superhero animated show ever after 46 episodes,I gave up on liking the show because it now feels too overrated to me.

    I've been looking for a fresh TV series for my children. Like most parents, I've grown tired of the media's war against boys. Why ridicule them in TV shows, who benefits? And if a show skips the sexism on rare occasion, the stories are lacking in cleverness.Young justice league mostly sails around the sexism (in one episode, there's a how dare you save me, I'm a woman trope, but the other writers have mostly avoided pushing this style of sexist manipulation). They even have a feminine character who is not afraid to be feminine (M'Gann). It shows the show's directors think outside of the box as every other show says it's different when it's not. We need more shows like the 70s Scooby Doo where female characters "just are". We've lost that simple fact, even in Young Justice League.There's good character development. The characters all have flaws and they also compliment one another. That realism is the strongest part of the series. The conflict between the kids and adults isn't played as well, both sides lack the fire in their convictions.The most annoying aspect of the show is the violence. Guns, guns, guns. When to mix it up they add laser blasts and bombs too. It wears thin. With cutdown violence and a little more thinking and balanced sexist politics (or preferably no sexist politics), this show would be superb. However, the TV benchmark has slipped drastically since the 70s, allowing this show to stand out when there's no competition for quality. Sexism-avoidance:8/10, characters:8/10, stories:8/10, violence-avoidance:5/10

    In this Series people had been shown that Even the Sidekicks can kick some ***** Can Fight Everyone seems to be going on and on about how mature this show is, but if you're watching a show comprised of a bunch of 13-year old dealing with things like crushes and other adolescent type problems, how is that very mature? It's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that this show is more mature than say Batman: TAS or Justice League/JLU. Granted, the writing is decent and more complex than most kids shows so in that regard it is a little more mature. BUT, let's keep this in perspective people! The character designs and overall style of the show are just "okay" to me. I'm not at all a fan of anime and while this show isn't really anime, it definitely draws some inspiration from it. It certainly is an improvement over Teen Titans, which is much more clearly anime to me. However, I would prefer if the show bared no resemblance to anime at all.

    I had heard great things about this series, about its depth, its characterization, its humor and even its standing as one of the highest-rated animated series on IMDb, up there with masterpieces like "Avatar: The Legend of Aang". So, when I saw it available for streaming, even if it was just its first season, I decided I needed to check it out. The experience watching that first season... wasn't so good. I liked the way the characters were introduced and their general group dynamic, but things like Ms. Martian's grating catchphrase and overall too-childish humor, the lack of development to get to know some of the least-popular Justice League heroes (me not being an avid comic reader, I spent a few episodes wondering "just who/what IS Red Tornado, and why should we care?" before caving in to just googling him) and the arbitrary way of keeping some of The Team's members (usually the more useful ones for the specific mission) out of certain episodes all dampened my enjoyment.Then I had a chance to watch the second season and boy did my opinion change. The time leap had helped mature the original team members into much more capable, likable and interesting characters. The dynamic between the new members had become more solid than with the ones before, and the decision to put the bulk of the humor on a single character with better delivery than any other funnyman before him was the right one. The increased focus on the over-arching, season-long story and its fewer antagonists than on "mission of the week"-type narratives with too many villains. The brilliant way this narrative's many twists were handled (even if they weren't particularly difficult to guess beforehand). The events during the time gap, only mentioned in passing, as well as the JL's even more sparse appearances all help create an air of mythological mystery around these characters, an improvement over the simple question marks many of them were during the first season. These and other decisions made for a far more enjoyable and interesting story to watch than the first season had (though not without its weaknesses, some of the new Team members introduced in the second season do get badly shortchanged in regards to their on-screen origins, as do some of the older ones in regards to what they've been up to during the time-gap).I have decided to rate this series with an 8 as an average of my grades for both season. The first one seemed to me like a solid 7, a good introduction to an interesting world, with a lot of untapped potential and room for improvement. The second one, a definite 9, lots of improvement over the first, an imperfect but still wildly enjoyable story that really grabs you and keeps you watching. Considering the threads that were left hanging at the season/series end and how much it improved from one season to the next, I can't help but wonder what would have been if a third and maybe further seasons had been green-lighted. Maybe the third season would have been a perfect 10, but as it currently stands, it's no more than yet another of the great "what if"s of DC's history with adaptations, up there with George Miller's "Justice League: Mortal", Tim Burton's "Superman Lives" and others. However, unlike those, I still hold the tiniest bit of hope that we might yet see the return of "Young Justice". Fingers crossed.
