Pjtaylor-96-138044 This reimagining of the Justice League sees the eponymous superheroes inserted into a cold-war ready 1950s America and puts much more emphasis on its lesser known members, to the point that the 'big three' are actually pretty sidelined. 'Justice League: The New Frontier (2008)' spends a lot of time setting up its characters to make them feel believable in its world, with some given lengthy origin stories and others shown as being well established already. The issue is that this set-up both runs too long, eating too much run-time without being focused enough to feel properly 'worth it', and essentially leads straight into a disappointing finale - all but missing out the second act. This final movement sees an ominously foreshadowed but ultimately bizarre and unthreatening 'villain' face our protagonists in a battle that should be much more entertaining, and less silly, than it is. 6/10

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

davulture The movie had a lot of promise, especially in the beginning but the story seemed a little rushed, and the movie primarily focused on two characters The Green Lantern and the Flash, Superman seemed kind of dull, Batman's character sounded like an old man, and everybody else was there just for show. The movie was poorly done and nowhere near the quality of the Justice League: Animated Series, which had much better voices and an actual story instead of random meaningless action sequences. Sure their good, but they have to have some meaning behind them. Plus the mysterious appearance of Aquaman at the end that was just to much. Very disappointing effort.
