Justice League: War

4

Inspired by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's JUSTICE LEAGUE story, DC's latest animated movie explores the iconic team's origin as they face off against Darkseid.

Justice League: War is easily the most action-packed movie DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Animation have yet to make. Seriously, once all of the characters are established, it's pretty much one big fight scene after another. If you love seeing these characters smack each other around and battle evil, then prepare for some fun. However, if you thought the action in Man of Steel was too much, then this one just isn't for you.

The movie's inspired by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's first JUSTICE LEAGUE story in the New 52. If you've read it, then you basically know what to expect when it comes to the basic plot. For everyone else, the premise is simple: Darkseid invades Earth with a swarm of Parademons and the heroes must work together to stop him. And boom (tube), the Justice League is born as they unite and attempt to defeat this massively powerful villain.

Writer Heath Corson and Director Jay Oliva stay relatively true to the source material while also adding in more than a few changes. Sometimes animated movies keep the core idea of the plot but drastically alter everything else. Such isn't the case here. A lot of Johns' hilarious lines remain and more than a few jokes are thrown in to keep the comedy coming. Cyborg's origin story is also changed and it gives him a closer connection to what's going on. It technically changes who he is yet the basic concept of the character remains the same. And, as everyone knows by now, Shazam has replaced Aquaman. Yes, it sucks we don't get to see the very awesome shark moment, but trust me, it's because they have bigger plans for Arthur. Patience is a virtue, yes?

The film does a good job handling the team's chemistry, too. The Flash (Christopher Gorham) and Green Lantern (Justin Kirk) is without question the most entertaining pair and have the best lines. Not only that but their voice actors also deliver the strongest performances. If you're one of the people who constantly rant about the new SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN series, then odds are you'll hate the fact this film alludes to the attraction between the two. For everyone else, it'll deliver some solid laughs. A bond is created between Shazam and Cyborg as well and it's certainly an amusing one. For all his power, Billy Batson's still just a kid who idolizes this football star and it definitely shows. Meanwhile, Batman simply has amusing interactions with everyone.

As stated above, this movie is overflowing with action. They basically take the fight scenes from the source material and then multiply the duration by a thousand (that's a rough estimate). Some of the close-up shots feel too abrupt instead of intense (most notably when Cyborg debuts), but overall it's all of the action you could crave and then some. I didn't keep track of how long the fight with Darkseid is, but damn, it goes on and on. Plus, who doesn't want to see Wonder Woman flipping around and slicing Parademons apart?

The character designs are by Phil Bourassa, the lead character designer for Young Justice. The new costumes are perfectly fine and overall it's a very appreciated improvement over the incredibly bulky bodies we saw in DC's last animated movie (Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox).

The movie's PG-13 and they take full advantage of that. The violence isn't nearly as graphic as Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (essentially limited to Parademons getting obliterated), but the rating is absolutely earned with the language. So, consider this a warning if you have a young one and don't want them hearing some colorful vocabulary.

As for gripes, the drama with Victor and his father doesn't translate that well and drags a bit. There's also a couple of times where shots linger a tad too long, making for somewhat awkward moments. Just like in the source material, Darkseid's essentially reduced to a boss battle type of character. He's there to brawl and Steven Blum spends more time screaming and grunting than actually talking. His physicals also fluctuate a decent amount and, as someone who's really into characters' stats and abilities, that stood out to me. Jason O'Mara's the new voice of Batman (he reprises the role in Son of Batman) and I'm left down the middle on it. Some remarks feel a tad uninspired while others are just fine. Speaking of Batman, the filmmakers find a way to toss in a second Dark Knight vs. Superman scene. As a Batman fan, it's downright amazing. But as a Superman fan, it comes off as an unnecessary departure from the source material (there's already so many places to see a darker Superman). Lastly, I don't mind it, but fans may want to know a certain infamous moment between Batman and Green Lantern remains.

Justice League: War is all about hitting you with big action and big laughs. The story isn't all that compelling and some may find the fights exhausting, but if you just want to enjoy seeing these characters brawl and banter for a little over an hour, then odds are you're going to have a good time with this one.

And yes, there is a mid-credits scene!

I actually like Hal in this, even though he was an insufferable jerk in the source material. I credit the voice actor for that.

What I really didn't like was Darkseid's voice. Couple that with him floating through the city slicing buildings in half with his Omega Beams, and they essentially turned him into a Reaper.

It caught me off-guard at first but on the plus side, he barely even spoke. During the panel, Andrea Romano said they wanted to change his voice because it wouldn't seem right to have a human voice coming from such an inhuman character.

Seriously? Everyone loved Michael Ironside's Darkseid. Andre Braugher was great too.

Agreed, but I guess they were going for something to match his new design and larger size? Meh, it's not like he spoke that much anyway.

Aaaaand I just thought of Darkseid in Starship Troopers.

"Patience is a virtue"

WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER! SHAZAM FANS HAD THEIR OWN FREAKING MOVIE! We got steroided out, tiny head, evil-dick Aquaman from Flashpoint and five seconds in two other movies. THAT'S ABOUT IT! Screw this! Seriously! I'm tired of waiting! I don't care what they're setting up! It better be done FREAKING AMAZINGLY WELL or this would just have been the biggest waste ever!!!!! IDC if Aquaman joins later! Nothing will match his original dynamics with this team or the scenes from the comic.

DC animated movies are only as good as their source material, hence the reason All-Star Superman, Batman Year One, and The Dark Knight Returns (Part 1 & 2) are so good.

This animated film just highlighted all the issues with the original comic book: one dimensional heroes and villains with cringe-worthy dialogue (most of the time, not all of the time.) The story was too simplistic and had no layers (the previous DC movies I mentioned did not have these problems.)

These films are still far better than anything Marvel puts out (animation-wise, and that's coming from a Marvel fan) but I really think DC need to select better story lines for their animated films. Yes, this storyline sold well when released but,unfortunately, because of its art as opposed to the actual story. DC should be looking at producing Snyder's Batman storylines (Court of Owls or Death of the Family) or if they want to do a Superman origin story do Birthright, Superman Last Son has some real potential for a good animation as well.

I can't fault the animation or action but it is the story that let this one down, I think it was too faithfully adapted from the comic book series, a few liberties would have probably helped this be a much more memorable animation. Good source material truly is DC's key to success if they want to keep people coming back for more. In saying that, I do look forward to Son of Batman, I haven't read the series but a story by Grant Morrison is a great place to start.

It was a great film. Seeing Wonder Woman slicing the head of a parademon and using it to bash another one is priceless.

Sick movie! Although I hated the scene where Batman was just hanging off a minion with a hook-shot while it was flying... seemed like it could have easily hit him into a building, and Batman's too smart for that lol. I'm so excited for the Aquaman movie, glad that's connected to this!

I REALLY liked Justice League: War. This might be my new favorite DC animated movie. I think Corson and Oliva did an awesome job of improving the story from the comic.

saw on the web (couldnt wait for the bluray) and i gotte say Dc animation did it again another great movie, i love how it (not completely) stayed true to the comic, there were parts where i could really compare the scenes to the comic like "batman and the ring" :p so really a fun movie to watch! and i even like cyborg and i'm not the biggest fan of him.

my score = 4/5,

cant wait for son of batman!!! if only dc would make their liveaction movies as good as their animated ones

@martianmanhunterisbetterthancy: I think when batman says that him and GL were the only normal ones, it could be that if you take away all of the heroes gear, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Shazam still have powers (cyborg would be dead) and GL and Batman would be normal humans.

this was a five star film all the way. the only problem i had was with the voice acting for most (billy, barry and vic were fine and though i like the voice actor's voice it just didnt fit hal, he sounded like an 18 year old) and the goofinest they threw diana's way was uncalled for. cause they actress was hamming it up and i know so many haters would be laughing AT her instead of with her i can do without that scene, other that no complaints. it was fun, funny and action packed. best dc film (live action or otherwise) since justice league doom. loved how hal dissed the bat, been waiting for someone to know that arrogant so and so down a peg for ages and did not disappoint, HILARIOUS! love the bond between billy and victor, my new super buddy duo, so long forge and dr. nemesis. wonder woman just looks beautiful when she moves and her intro scene? man was i into it!!! definitely going to watch this again tonight. i really hope with this they can start doing an animated cinematic universe instead of different team members and costumes with each film. and have the films acknowledge each other. with that end credits scene they BETTER be working on it cause i want to see that play out. speaking of connectativity i loved how the pacing flowed and each character was connected to each other in someway: bats and hal to wally, wally to vic, etc. now if only all or the majority of their books could be this good....

Your jab at the people who find the action in MoS to be souless and excessive, misses the point. Man of Steel's third act overload of action sequences, didn't hit because there was 0 characters we cared about (ok the guy from Law and Order not withstanding). Which compunded the issue when the sequence is overdone and souless.

Action sequences aren't bad, it's when they mean nothing are they bad. This film like The Raid do continous action right, by using to to either A) further characterize of B) because we understand the stakes. War gets those points.

Seems rather odd that you'd hire Steve Blum to say maybe 10 lines, he isn't Michael Ironside or Andre Braugher (aka the greatest) but if you wanted some bassy voice to reverb he's the guy. He just sounds like Steve Blum.

Jab? What jab?

"However, if you thought the action in Man of Steel was too much, then this one just isn't for you."

That comment isn't an insult. It applies to people who think the action scenes in Man of Steel went on for too long -- which applies to many people I've chatted with -- not about the film's handling of characters, whether they cared about them in battle, etc. I never called it soulless, either. It was simply informing that crowd -- the people who've stated they suffered action fatigue in the film simply because it went on longer than they desired -- that this too has very long action pieces. Nothing more, nothing less.

My review:

Positives:

+Absolutely fantastic action and camera work overall. It feels very Man of Steel inspired. They really do the heroes justice visually.

+It was very well paced for a movie that was 90% action. Very fun and a lot of great lighthearted moments throughout.

+All the Cyborg scenes. Animation and sound really bring Cyborg to life.

+All the Shazam stuff, especially the Cyborg/Shazam dynamic.

+Green Lantern constructs were 1000x better than the GL movie.

+Green Lantern/Batman dynamic.

+Barry 's dorky fanboy moment

+Superman kicking Batman's ass.

+Batman in disguise, riding a Parademon

+Darkseid was one badass mofo. His voice was very unsettling.

+Wonder Woman's fighting style and attitude is really fun. (though I'd like to see a more mature Diana in the next movie. I wonder if they'll do the 5 year jump like in the comics).

+The mid-credits set-up, even if the scene wasn't executed that well.

Negatives:

-Voice acting is not always perfect. It sometimes makes GL and Superman a tad obnoxious.

-Superman's personality sometimes comes across as unlikable and douchey, yet the movie doesn't seem to acknowledge it as a character flaw (like it does for Green Lantern).

-I think they could have thrown in a couple quick lines that explain people's powers. Those unfamiliar with the characters might be a little lost.

-Scenes that showcase the WW/Supes attraction felt quite forced. I get that some people think that they didn't set up enough chemistry in the comics before they get together later, but I actually prefer it that way, where it seems like a relationship that's born out of a friendship first, not an initial physical attraction. The fact that Superman's a little douchey also makes Diana a little unlikable for liking him.

-Story/themes/character-arcs are extremely basic and unsatisfying ("teamwork=good"). It lacks heart. Perhaps it might have been a little more satisfying had they had a more triumphant score during the climax (ala the circle shot moment in The Avengers). Still fun though. This is pure popcorn.

Overall I'd give it a 4/5.

This movie was...okay. Not one of DC's strongest at all.

Things I liked:

1. Green Lantern's attitude, he kept things fun

2. Darkseid's power levels. Him easily fighting off the League made him feel like a big threat

3. Wonder Woman, everything about her was fantastic, her dialogue, her attitude, her fighting skills, just great

4. The fight scenes. Definitely an action heavy film, visually stunning

5. The End credits scene= WIN

Things I didn't like:

1. Green Lantern jobbing against pretty much everyone

2. The lack of depth behind Darkseid, he was pretty much just a generic bad guy

3. Shazam...he didn't need to be there, but he wasn't as bad as I thought he'd be

4. Superman's behavior kinda annoyed me.

5. GL saying "I got this." about 4 times too much

overall, I'd give it a 3.5 outta 5

@eagle_vision11454: Now that I've seen the whole thing....I would say maybe a little, but not for generic reasons, really just my own stuff lol. It threw me having Tudyk as Superman because (despite my adoration of Firefly) when he speaks all low like that...all I can hear is Alpha from Firefly and that's really not a character that should ever be associated with Superman ;p

Jason Mara as Batman grew on me, and the choices for Flash, GL and Cyborg were spot on. Michelle Monaghan felt a little off as Wonder Woman to me, and I can't really place why.

Also thrown by George Newbern (who, to my ear is the definitive Superman) as Steve Trevor, in a movie that has Superman in it.

No one's upset other than maybe you,cause it's happens all the time in comics and animation.Also cause there were other things to get upset about,such as lame ass Darkseid with his lameass voice and lameass personality,same goes for Superman(I'm so badass and tough) and Wonder Woman.Easily the 3 worst characters of the entire flick.

Story sucked but that was expected,the action sequences also lacked any substance,just punch,punch,energy blast here and there blah blah.

Worst animated movie yet.

Also, I laughed at how bad the cgi was. >.>

I thought they did a pretty great job adapting the source material. As for the source material itself, it's not exactly the best written arc in the New 52 nor does it really properly portray the characters, so I don't blame the film for following suite. I just feel like viewers will be confused when each character begins to receive solo films and acts like a completely different person for those who jumped into the universe through this film.

Also, I laughed at how bad the cgi was. >.>

Correction my friend. JL: War, and most animated films in similar fashion, utilize animation. Shows and/or films like Beware the Batman, Green Lantern: The Animated Series or basically any Pixar film, utilize CGI.

Love this movie. Humor, action, a dash of romance, cool animation, the interactions between the character felt fresh and modern.. all in a short running time of a rebooted animated verse. Was tons better than the first foundation episodes of Timm's JL.

I love it too because

1. It's a finger at the whiners at the new 52

2. The first movie where everyone shines and it's not Batman and his bitches.

3. Chances are I can give this to anyone who is not a comic geek of any age (well not a little kid) and they'll enjoy it.

Was not a fan of this movie at all. Superman was a meathead with no personality. Wonder Woman was a meathead and when she did have a personality it reminded me of Starfire more then anything. Nothing in the movie was more cringe-worthy then when Superman is carrying Air Force One and Wonder Woman says "Oh, he's strong" Ugh...Green Lantern was annoying constantly saying "I got this" only to get pounded into the ground 5 seconds later. Cyborg's relationship with his dad seemed to drag on and wasn't that interesting. Wasn't much a fan of the voice acting. All that being sad it had great action sequences and the first Batman vs Superman fight was cool. There were some funny interactions between GL and Flash and GL and Batman. I almost want to give it a 2 but I'll settle with giving it a 3. Its great if you go into it with the mindset of a mindless action film but that's not really my style.
