Customer Reviews

EPIC AND THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING
I never read the graphic novel this was based on but I've heard great things about it. This film, done by Bruce Timm is a monumental achievement of storytelling and art.

So many of us know that comic book heroes are mythic and their stories often have dark and tragic origins. On this level, "Frontier" does not disappoint a true fan. The story-lines are complex intersections of pride, glory and loss and the villain, voiced by the incomparable Keith David, is a menace like none other.

Against the backdrop of the post WWII cold war, Timm and company suppose the creation of the Justice League as an answer to fear, cynicism and lost hope. They succeed on all levels.

I don't know why the studios don't rely more on animation writers for comic book films. BTAS, JLU and Superman clearly show animation writers understand and love these characters and would never disservice them or their fans. The excellent "Frontier" is evidence of this fact.

Jeremy Sisto Sucks bat balls
Jeremy Sisto is the worst Batman ever! This is a horrible movie, don't waste your hard earned money. Save it to see The Dark Knight!

Justice For All
In a time, when all superheroes have been sought as dangerous, America's heroes join forces, to battle the biggest menace, that Earth has faced.
Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, The Flash (Barry Allen), and The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) join forces, for the first time, in a classic JL movie. The Classic characters, in a new fresh movie, based in the old WWII era.
