Abdullah Almosalami OK, so this is the film. The first half or so is very choppy, going from this to that in an instant and you're just like "Wait, what?" and I feel like they could've done a lot better with the introduction of one of the characters (because the character comes off as bratty and annoying even though the character isn't). There was also a big action sequence that I felt made very little sense (keep Superman: Doomsday in mind and you'll get what I mean). The second half is a lot better, especially towards the end. In fact, if they removed pretty much all of the first half, the second half would have been a really great film at about 8 or even a 9 out of 10. Batman and Superman are portrayed pretty good, and you'll enjoy when they are on screen. The animation is good, but I feel like there were missed opportunities here and there, like certain angles and ways they could've done things that would've had more of an impact emotionally. Overall, I'd say a 6/10.
Rich Wright If you're fat, ugly or nerdy looking, don't expect to get into the DC Comics superhero clique... all those present are either hunky broad chested men ripped to infinity, or sexy skinny babes in cleavage and navel revealing outfits. Some may complain, but I say thank goodness this is one genre that hasn't fallen to the lamebrained political correctness that's befallen a lot of our culture. Go and sort your own life out, instead of trying to modify everything to suit your insecurities.Considering the amount of female characters in the film outnumber the males by precisely 50 to 1 (mainly on account of a lot of the action taking place on Wonder Woman's secret Amazonian island, and some extended scenes involving four vicious ladies who form an evil fighting quartet known as The Furies) it seems rather unfair that Batman and Superman are the only ones who are billed on the cover. They're the franchise's biggest stars though, and therefore it's main selling point. Again, get used to it.It's wall-to-wall fighting, which is much more intense than your traditional animation... hence the 12 certificate. There's individuals slammed into walls at light speed, burnt to a crisp with lasers, almost being devoured by huge beasties... and get this... STABBINGS that result in BLOOD and DEATH. You wouldn't get anything like this on He Man. Oh, I almost forgot, it's also an origin story for a teenage Supergirl, so we have some cute bits involving her introduction into our world. Not to mention, some great repartee between The Caped Crusader and The Man Of Steel, which is worth the price of admission alone.So, yeah. Pretty cool. 6/10
jidosha First thing easy to praise and have a lasting impression is the amazing artwork done, good job! It's one of the best artwork done that I've seen so far. The next thing noticeable is of course the animation for the artwork. It's middling at some parts, mostly the introductory sequence. But overall it will definitely catch your amazement, especially the fighting scenes. The new hot girl in school arrives with an over protective cousin. The story also showcases a lot of "girl power". Aside from supergirl, you'll see amazonians and female furies involved in most of the plot lines. It seems the title of the movies was misleading too. The story was great but for me the pace of the story seemed weak and is missing some essential justifications, such as the relationship between Kara and Kyla. And some character background that are not that familiar for the regular viewer such as Barda. Then again, I guess it is meant for long time or in depth fans of Batman and Superman or DC fan in general by the way the characters are written. The voice acting is great. They could have done better with some of the characters, but I applaud new comer Summer Glau for voicing supergirl. This was I believe her first voice acting role. Though she could have done better but overall she was good.If you're a DC fan you'll definitely enjoy it but feel a little disappointment.
Rectangular_businessman For a direct-to-video movie, this was pretty decent: The designs and the animation were pretty well done, and the plot was entertaining enough, from my point of view: In many ways, I think that this was much better than the previous film Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, which had a rushed story and an unconvincing artwork (From my taste, at least. Personally I prefer the art style used in films like this or in the animated adaptation of the comic "Batman: Year One")My only complaint about this movie is the pace: Every single event that takes place in this movie happens just way too fast, something that gives the feeling that some scenes from this film were underdeveloped, without exploiting all the potential that many plot points could have. 78 minutes weren't just enough time to tell the whole story properly. Anyway, even when this isn't the best DC animated movie, it is still a pretty good one (But that could have been much better)Overall, I consider it a worth-watching experienceMy score:6.5/10
