Justice League: Warworld

The DC Animated Films have always been a mixed bunch, but their newest addition, Justice League: Warworld, falls on the lesser side of quality. With an anthology type set-up, each story feels bland and emotionless, not providing much excitement or engagement. The voice acting is stiff and feels like a table-reading, instead of the final take. While the animation is fine, it has no expression and feels very standard. All the elements begin to feel boring before the first story is over and with nothing special in between, the ending could not come quicker. The R rating proved to be completely pointless, as nothing is done with it and it looked like just an excuse to have a Justice League film that includes some blood. Hopefully the new direction of the DCEU can provide a higher quality in the animated films too.

A series of beautifully animated, overly bloody, poorly written and totally inconsequential stories that culminate in a disjointed ending that ultimately serves no purpose.

I'm genuinely not sure there's been a properly good DC Animated movie since the Flashpoint series, although the standard of the new voice acting is excellent and overall the animation quality is higher than it used to be, but the last few have been so incredibly lacklustre that it really makes no sense why they're putting money into these stories instead of further Elseworld adaptions or any of the million excellent Batman/Superman standalone graphic novels.

If you've got 90 minutes to burn, this one is fine, but it really doesn't add anything if you've got fond memories of the adaptions of 10 years ago.

Close in terms you try something different and it takes time to understand, Far because it gradually gets boring. Im a die hard JLA fan and didnt believe i would ever hit the ff button in a JLA movie.

DC has given us some really good ones and you have the playing field to do that with the characters and their powers. Doom and crisis on 2 earths are some such amazing works. But here it just like another simulation favoring a few characters. I say it time and again, the martian is ithe most underutilized character in DC considering his powers.

Hope to see better over time. This was a fine offering but doesnt utilize its full potential and is watchabe but a bit dull. DC fans go ahead but dont expect too much.

Present rating of 5.5 is precise.

I remember my self excited waiting for the next one at the end of every DC animated movie up until the the end of JLA Apokolips War and it's saga. Then the Tomorrow Verse came and... I lost passion for the DC movies. I don't like the style of the animation (I know it's subjective but I REALLY don't like it), the story are uniteresting for my taste and I don't feel anything that pull me back rewatching it or even watching it right after it comes out... sometimes I waited for months after it came out before I decided to seat down and have a look at it. Never happened with the previous adaptation. I watched this one so early just because one of my friend had it and we watched together. Not even looking for what's next. Voices are good, design is technically good I think , even though I don't like it... simply not for me.

DC has always been king when it comes to animation but for some reason the tomorrowverse ( all the movies after JLD Apokolips War) has been a huge disappointment and JL war world is no exception. The movie doesn't feel like a movie, it feels more like an episode. The animation style of this new universe is not my favorite, however, that's very subjective so I wouldn't take points off for their animation style. The writing and plot line in the other hand does take points off for me. The ending seemed rushed and story and character mini arcs didn't really make me fall in love or appreciate any of them more. I think DC doesn't understand that writing good character arcs and plots isn't just important for the movie itself, but also for the IP and brand in general. If you make me love the characters, I can be the loyal customer that I once was, the one that would buy your movie tickets, toys and games no matter what. But that customer has been lost because you guys just keep giving us bad writing and not listening to fans.
