Justice League: War

Setting: This movie takes place in a world where superheroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, etc. are either not well liked or not known; those who are feared for what they can/could do by the public. This is in the very beginning of the movie as a means to get it out of the way by what I could tell. First taking place in Gotham then to Metropolis with a few looks at Washington, DC. Characters: The heroes in this one is Supes, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Flash, GL Hal Jordan, and Shazam. Superman: He's actually violent in this movie; he's using his laser vision more often, he is way more brutal fighting than any other animated version I've seen and he easily kills his enemies with a personality. This is no "big blue boy scout" here. Batman/Bruce: The same as always, cool, collected, mysterious, always crafty and looking into the situation at hand. Never showing a moment of weakness and always being B.A.. Wonder Woman: That foreigner that you like having around because shes funny, but that foreigner is Amazonian. A battle hardened warrior and I must say has the best parts in the fights she is quick to take charge and outside of that she can easily put a smile on your face with how simple she is. Hal: Arrogant, impatient, kinda dumb, and easily tempered, pretty unlikable to me. It wasn't until the halfway point against the enemy that I felt his character was getting out of that. Besides that I loved how creative he was being with the ring in this movie from making dragons to Morning Stars. Flash: It didn't go much into him, but what I did get was enough. A people person and mediator type of guy he is usually seen defending one of the other heroes if they need it. He was really efficient in battle outrunning Darkseids Omega Beams to take out enemy monsters and actually taking out his eye. Cyborg: He got the most development than anyone else in the movie; he was Victor Stone, a football player and a great one, he was playing a game and was hoping for his scientist father to show up (which he didn't) and went to talk to him. His father didn't agree with his football career because of the superhuman/alien factor being shown in the world making what Victor did obsolete. When Darkseids forces came he got hit and had to go into immediate surgery; thanks to the alien stuff that got onto him the tech around him started to fuse onto him and he was made into Cyborg. He was incredibly helpful in opening the portals to shoot Darkseid back where he came from and close it for good and he was really good in battle for his first time out. He was depressed about it at first, but thanks to Shazam/Billy he was able to get out of it. Shazam/Billy: Kids, they are just... something. Billy is a foster kid that isn't really likable to me for his personality as himself or Shazam and it would have been better with Aquaman. He was first to go in and first to get hit, but he did have his use and was there to help Cyborg in his time of need. I could feel the synergy between the two characters. Story: In summary Darkseid wants to turn Earth into his territory and humans into his monster slaves. The non-established JL come together to engage in battle to beat him back where he came from. Sound: Exactly what you would get from a DC Animated film, nice and subtle when in a calm situation and fitting and high strung when in a fight. Everything was on cue. Animation: If you watched Young Justice then you know how well this animation is; think of that but a tad more shady. Enjoyment: I found this movie to be a hard 6 soft 7 meaning that my enjoyment of it was above average. It wasn't all that, but I did have fun watching it. I would suggest for parents sensitive about swearing in front of the kids with this movie because it uses damn a good amount of times, but if you can let that go then show it on movie night, you'll all have a good time.
