About this movie

An alien attack threatening cataclysmic worldwide devastation brings together the world's greatest superheroes for the first time in Justice League: War. When the powerful Darkseid and his massive, relentless forces invade Earth, a group of previously unaligned super heroes -- misunderstood and, in some cases, hunted by the authorities -- discover that the only way to fend off the attack is to work together as a cohesive unit. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Shazam and, in his origin story, Cyborg, combine their respective talents in an all-out battle to save the planet. Thus is born the Justice League.

Ratings and reviews

Although I wanted to see more of a back story to Darkseid and make the movie just a little bit longer, I loved this movie. First of all, I am a fan of the DC Universe and where they are going with it. I liked how Justice League Flashpoint Paradox set up everything in the new universe, and I was pleased with how they set this up as an origin story. Also, the action was amazing. Well done DC. I can't wait to add Throne of Atlantis and Son of Batman to my collection. (I sound like such a nerd).

As much as I generally enjoy the Animated DC movies, I don't feel like much effort was put into this one. There were too many cheap one liners, cliches, and bad animation sequences. I give animated super hero movies some leeway, in regards to allowing these things, but you would be better off watching The Flashpoint Paradox, the Dark Knight Returns, Justice League: Doom, or Batman Under The Red Hood. It is my hope that the next animated DCU movie is better than this one.

Um...I'm a huge DC even worked there as an artist but still I prefer the book since they actually put the original justice league members not half ass job n just completely erasing Aquaman n put Shazam. I mean the movie was gd not doubt but come on guys!! Give some love to one of fonding fathers of the justice league.
