Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two

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.

Yeah this wasn't actually good but it was better than part 1 but that's not hard to do. The animation is still an odd choice. With all the amazing animation in DC animations history and this is what they went with to tell their Arguably largest story arc. Or was it simply down to budget.

The worst part is the actress who is voicing Wonder Woman. I can't be sure but I think she was trying to copy Gal Gadot's accent but she comes across far more Russian than Israeli. I mean did she record her part and send it in? I can't imagine that production heard her take on Wonder Woman and thought it was good. Then again they chose the animators so clearly some people shouldn't have creative control.

The only thing this movie is doing is making wish I'd just watched Arrowverse Crisis crossover. It may not be perfect but compared to this it's the Citizen freaking Kane of comic book adaptations.

What a disaster.... DC animation used to be the gold standard for superhero content but now it's a mere shadow of its former self. The storytelling is a convoluted mess that fails to respect its characters or the audience's time; it's unbelievable this concept got a 3 movie deal. Most of the Bat Family gets key jangled in front of you but they all come across as emotionally inept, constantly bickering during the most crucial moments of a multiversal crisis. Jensen Ackles himself delivers yet another lackluster performance. I honestly have no idea how he could sound so bored voicing Batman. Doesn't matter if it's a voice actor like Keven Conroy or a film actor like Christian Bale, they had different tones for different scenes. Ackles never diverts his pitch from sounding mildly annoyed. Unfortunately the animation itself also took a significant downgrade since their previous iteration with Jason O'Mara. It's difficult to see the characters and world you grew up loving look so bland and uninspired. Moreover when theoretically they could do absolutely anything with these characters within the multiverse concept. With everyone upping their animation game (Into the Spiderverse, TMNT, Arcane, X-Men97, Cyberpunk, etc), it's very concerning to see DC diving head first in the wrong direction.

The premise of Crisis Part 1 was intriguing enough to wait for this sequel, but I was mislead. Part 2 is dry, convoluted, disjointed and just plain subpar for DC. Disposal characters come and go. Storylines are hinted at and then left unfinished. Overstuffed and bloated theatrics that leaves the viewer starving for real substance. Such a disappointment as there was so much material to work with and work from. I stopped caring about plot points and character development within the first 30 minutes. I suffered through the entirety to make sure it didn't uptick in the final waning moments. Trust me. It just didn't stick the landing.

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.
