POSITIVES…
It’s undeniably fascinating and a guilty pleasure to see our usual protagonists end up becoming the villains of this super hero story.
Due to the heroes vs heroes premise, there are undoubtedly some excellent action set pieces here that you normally would not see.
It’s a thought provoking story that not only pokes at the notions of how far heroes might go in the name of peace, but how far anyone should consider going in the intentions of helping others. That chess game between Mr Terrific and Superman is a good highlight that reflects the themes perfectly.
From the quick pacing to the compelling narrative, they were able to really go places with this story. I genuinely wished they would have made it longer than it’s 80 minutes runtime.
DC fans are going to enjoy seeing all the characters they were able to cram into this movie. Specifically though, it’s the character dynamics that are the highlights, like the familiar Superman and Batman relationship, to the comedic duo of Harley Quinn and Green Arrow.
NEGATIVES…
This is either too bloody violent for an animated superhero movie, or not bloody violent enough for this story.
Some people will complain about certain characters dying in this.
There are those who won’t be happy with how certain characters are depicted either.
Then of course there will be complaints about how this doesn’t properly adapt the source material of the video games or the comic books.
Plot conveniences, contrivances, and illogical moments, kinda let you nitpick this movie to death if you wish to do so.
