Customer Reviews

Cliff-Notes Justice League
It's a bare-bones plot outline; not really a plot. It's almost like you're getting the highlights, because the scenes seem unrelated to each other. People come in, make cameos, and then disappear. No one really gets any screen time, including Bruce Timm's paramour Batman. Even Superman and Wonder Woman are barely in it and the Justice League is in it for literally a couple of minutes. Each hero is abruptly introduced (no back story) and then disappears.

The fight scenes are stiff-looking, as is the animation. While the character design is OK, and the graphic quality is alright, it doesn't look any better than a TV episode. I expected something more, especially since it has to prop up such a thin "lurking evil that we never see and is easily defeated" plot. There's actually more plot in the ending montage than anywhere else.

Not nearly as good as I'd read
I read great reviews about this and decided to go ahead and purchase it before watching, considering I'm a DC fan. The best part about this disk was the special features, which include an interesting history of DC. However, the movie itself was bad. It seemed to use mild profanity just to earn a PG-13 rating to attract an adult audience. I found the film to be quite childish, and, to be frank, cheesy. I thought it was a waste and maybe worth a rental just for the special features.

Revival For Re-Told Stories
As a HUGE fan of JLA, I was really excited when this came out. The fact that it was rated PG-13 gave me goosebumps because often I felt like JLA was meant for an older auidence and that the writers were holding back just a bit.

This movie had everything I hoped for: blood, plot, action, great dialogue, unanswered questions, some adult language, and everything in between. I found myself constantly pausing it to say "Wow!"

Immediately after it finished I wanted to watch it again. I feel like this is a movie that more adult than the JLA series could be but it still retains all the good stuff you loved before.
