Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two

Just 90 minutes of continuously boring and incompetent writing. It's true when reviewers state that spoilers can't be posted because nothing actually happens to be spoiled.

Just one of the many examples of the incompetence in the writing is Superman needs Supergirl's help to simply blow out a fire while he needs to just weld one wire connection to fix the problem. When he can move at the speed of The Flash. A task that could have been completed by him in less time than it took him to say "Ok, Kara. Hit it." The 90 minutes are just full of shamefully written scenes like these by James Krieg.

It's absolutely inconceivable why this "project" requires a 3 movie set. Let alone got the production of just 1 movie approved.

Shame on you, Krieg, for accepting a paycheck for this stuff. 3 out of 10 is being generous.

Now the first part of the movie is great. Kara, Psycho Pirate, Harbinger, Monitor were essential to the Crisis Saga. It is great to see them fleshed out in this reimagination. The new harbinger twist is great and connects the story better than the original version.

Then as the movie progresses it gets mired in the shadow demon arc in a bad way. Instead of focusing on telling a good story and trusting in it, you notice how DC falls back to it's safe space, pandering to its base by fanservicing popular characters like the Batfamily and Wonder Woman despite their irrelevance at the point in the story. An endless boring fightscene is only rarely interrupted for plot progression. Now strategically, DC probably know what they are doing. They know their fanbase well and if Batman is here they will come. But from a storytelling perspective and for the quality of the movie, it is a terrible decision.

Also, the animation quality needs to step into this millenia.

I swear there is nothing to spoil in that movie because nothing happen in 1h30. First movie was really a mess this one can't be a mess because it has no direction.

You watch splitted scenes of some earths and you have no idea which earth you are on because the movie doesn't event bother to display a message "Earth 2" or something.

You have to understand you are on a different earth by yourself if you are on a different earth.

Again, there is no story, nothing is happening except some useless talk and forgettable fights. The DCAMU was much better even it wasn't the best of its genre at least we had something decent.

But here, the movie is just an excuse to justify 3 parts movie where we could have scrapped this movie into 15 min scene and have 2 parts movie well even just one movie.

Where to start.... the continuity and flow of movie/episode was all over the place. The first movie left no real impression and this followed on from. It places focus on characters individually and not as a collective. I don't know what to call this, it doesn't feel like a movie as such more so stints and pieces of different characters trying to achieve the same goal and fighting the same enemy. Hard to believe Flash is so fast he missed Charles. Really use to look forward to DC movies, they had so much good stock but it's just slowly got worse and worse as they've aged. I know DC has always had a serious tone to it, which is what I've enjoy from DC but this seemed more flat above anything else.

I gave "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" a go after not really enjoying the first. To be honest, I was hoping for a rebound because I want to like the concept. About ten minutes in, I started wishing that I hadn't turned it on. Stubbornly, I persisted but I'm done now. Won't bother with the third one. A great cast of voices (including Jensen Ackles and Darren Criss) are not given all that much to work with, unfortunately. Like with the first instalment, the plot is disjointed and convoluted, and although it features a lot of great DC characters, they really don't have all that much to do. A huge missed opportunity.
