NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

MC Ronson This was one of the worst comic based cartoons or animated features that I have ever had the displeasure of watching. It was as if the hack of a writer knew little of the characters and had even less interest in them, and worked by ticking off marks on a checklist for plot points. This uninspired dreck has the Superman problem solved by this blob monster smacking Supes so hard he is knocked off of the storyboard very early, and he does not return until very late."See? We get Supes out of the way here-real quick- then the others will have something to do here!" How convenient that a being so powerful can't manage to knock any other hero out of the storyline. The tentacled mess of a villain mostly hovers around, flailing about as if waiting for these 1 dimensional heroes to finally do something- anything. It almost actually goes somewhere, or looks as if something is really going to happen once or twice, only to go right back to that weak but monumentally important formulaic checklist in their battle of one of the stupidest menaces ever contrived. Justice League/Unlimited=10. This lame, uninspired disappointment gets a 1.

TheLittleSongbird I've always loved superheroes and superhero movies. Justice League was always interesting to me, and this did seem like a good movie to watch. And it was a good movie on the whole. But a great movie? I am not so sure. There are some undeniably good things, but it also fell short. The film is too short and it also felt rushed. There are many characters, perhaps too many, and the film other than introducing them and giving some motivations and some scenes and lines apiece didn't quite do enough to develop them properly. Jeremy Sisto is not bad as Batman, but has very little to do. However, the animation is absolutely wonderful, the backgrounds and character designs have so much detail while the colours and shadings have a lot of atmosphere. Add to that a haunting score, intelligent writing and a very compelling story with intriguing sub-plots and you have a good movie. The characters I didn't think were developed enough, but they were interesting to spot and have enough intriguing presence. The voice acting is dynamic and well-delivered, Sisto is underused for my liking but the likes of Miguel Ferrer and Neil Patrick Harris are used much better and do well to maintain interest. On the whole, a good movie but not a great one. 7/10 Bethany Cox

3xHCCH I did not know what to expect from this animated film. I am a Justice League of America fan since childhood, and I jumped at this when I finally got a copy. Honestly, I thought this was a special episode of the recent Justice League animated TV series. From the start though, you knew that it wasn't going to be the same. In fact, someone commits suicide with a gun even before the credits rolled. It was so unexpected, I was not even able to shield my kids' eyes! This JLA movie is not for children at all. Aside from that shocking opening scene, there were plenty more bloody violent scenes. Most notable is a scene where Wonder Woman's invisible plane became visible because of her blood. The language can also be quite sharp. Carol Ferris (Hal Jordan's love interest) crisply said "You son of a b***h!" as she slapped some guy.The setting of this movie was in the 50s, and the look and feel of the locales, language and the costumes were all apt to that time. The heroes were all drawn according to how they were originally drawn back in those Golden days. In particular, here, Wonder Woman was really a true Amazonian woman both in size (she looked taller than Superman) and attitude (she tells Supes, "There's the door, Spaceman")! The scope of the movie was truly epic. The main focus of the story were on three "lesser" heroes: John Jones (Martian Manhunter), Hal Jordan (Green Lantern) and Barry Allen (Flash), instead of the big 3 (Superman, Batman and WW). I also liked the cameo appearances of Green Arrow, Adam Strange, Ray Palmer (pre-Atom) and Aquaman. There was also an impressive line-up of voice talents behind the characters.On the debit side, I did feel that the main villain called "The Center" (a flying island with dinosaurs) was a tad on the corny side.

xamtaro After the short but highly entertaining and surprisingly deep "Superman: Doomsday", we have "Justice League: The New Frontier", advertised as a adaptation of the acclaimed graphic novel of same name. I've never read the graphic novel so i shall not go into the differences between the print and on screen portrayals of this epic tale, though many other reviews claim it is quite a faithful adaptation.The story is an intriguing but short one. Superheros in the 50s are frowned upon by the people and the government, Cold war paranoia is at an all time high, and into that melting pot comes "The Center": an evil entity bent on destroying human kind. I like how there is a element of mystery that builds to the climax as the movie goes along. The decision to leave the origin of "the center" ambiguous was a good one for which i applaud the producers. Another excellent decision was to not just mimic the look of cold war era superhero comics, but the feel, dialogue and even music of that era's movies and TV shows. Green Lantern and Martian ManHunter are given the most character development and portrayed really well by the voice actors. For example, You can really feel for Hal Jordan as his pacifist ideals are challenged by the dire situations he is put into. It is easy to connect with the characters and to lose yourself in the wonderful set design, well written dialogue and thought provoking themes. The film seems to be social commentary about discrimination, conflict due to differences and fear of such differences perpetuated by the media and governments of that time. The moral, that if humans were to put aside their differences and work toward a common good, is a timeless one that would even apply to our society todayOn the other hand, Justice League: New Frontier is far from perfect. For starters, the producers made a similar mistake that Marvel Animation did with their "Ultimate Avengers" movie: Too little time was spent on too many characters. You never get to feel a sense of threat from "The Center" and aside from Hal Jordan, the other Justice league characters never get enough screen time for the audience to relate to them or to the ideas and mindsets that they embody. So much so that when tragedy strikes later in the film, there isn't as much emotional impact as there could have been. The voice acting, though very well done, lacks variety. All the male characters sound almost alike aside from the Flash. The time-frame of the movie jumps a lot too. Apparently the movie takes place over the course of a couple of months(I don't think Martian Manhunter was able to land a job as a detective overnight or Hal Jordan was able to train as an Astronaut in a day). However, due to the short length of the movie and a lack of exposition as to the time frame(throwing in "a few months later" between the 1st and 2nd act would have helped a lot"), the plot seems to unfold over the course of only a few days, leaving many apparent plot holes in its wake.Animation-wise, it seems to be a step down from Superman:Doomsday. Though still keeping the angular and simplistic character design aesthetics of the previous movie and other DC animated series, the animation is stiffer and not as smooth as the previous animated feature. In fact the animation is fairly inconsistent with some scenes looking as bland as some of the poorer quality episodes from animated TV series. The big fight scenes are generally underwhelming with little sense of "epicness". I'm sure the directors were going for a grand scale battle the likes of Independence Day or Star Wars during the climax, but either due to budgetary constraints or lack of director's experience, the climactic conflict was no where near as great as it could have been.A underdeveloped plot, too many characters, mediocre and inconsistent animation coupled with an overly short movie length(75 minutes for that many characters and plot threads is really cutting it too close) ended up overshadowing the great acting, intriguing story and social and political themes that this show tried to convey. All that potential, marred by poor execution and time constraints.
