Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One

I was/have been a fan of multiverse stories before it became hip. Crisis on Two Earths was a pretty good animated movie with a much more straightforward story. Between the chunky animation style and the meandering story, this didn't work for me.

I wasn't expecting all that much from this film, but I gotta say I was quietly surprised with the quality. After being somewhat disappointed with some recent films in the "Tomorrowverse", it was a relief to see the franchise producing some exciting content.

What stood out to me the most was the way the film managed to balance the cosmic and multiversal elements with a key human heart - the love between Barry and Iris. This added a depth and emotional resonance that elevated the film beyond the pure spectacle of planets dying.

Matt Bomer's voice performance as Barry was outstanding and truly anchored the film. His portrayal brought a depth and authenticity to the character that made him relatable and engaging.

Despite being part 1 of a larger story, the film managed to stand on its own as a complete and satisfying experience.

One of the most fascinating aspects of this film was how it outshined the current live-action DC films. It's frustrating to see the animated films succeed where the live-action ones are faltering, but it's also a testament to the talent and creativity of the filmmakers behind this project. Perhaps a lack of studio interference? But I'm just speculating.

Flaws? As with most of these DC films, the animation is sufficient, but lacks flare or uniqueness. A lack of budget hurts it, and it isn't on the same level as the similarly multiversal Spider-Verse films.

This is a strong entry in the DC Animated universe and has me eagerly anticipating part 2. If you're a fan of DC comics or just enjoy a good superhero story, I highly recommend giving this film a watch.

Five years after the Arrowverse tackled DC Comics' most iconic storyline, the DCAU takes on Crisis on Infinite Earths. Part One generously adapts the source material, but ends up as a surprise Flash film instead. With nearly the entire chapter spent following the Scarlet Speedster, the opportunity to explore the multiverse is barely grazed upon. Failing to deliver what's promised, Part One creates a lackluster experience. The voice acting is bearable and better than other DCAU projects, but the animation is drastically worse than the previous standard. DC Animated films have rarely been more than fine, and Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One is unfortunately not one of the few exceptions.

An uninterestingly useless, too mild of a 'Crisis on...' DC animation. It's like a walk in a park with 85 years olds, even though many of them look young. The screenplay is not interesting, like an old photo album, the animation is so so, unthrilling, the visual effects just bear the name of visual effects, the score is good actually and better than the rest along with the voice-overs which at times is like the actors are on Valium while reading their lines.

It would have been so much better to have the two parts fused in one "hell" of a production with smooth "joints" and continuity and only then would it have gathered a 7+ to 8+ .

Crisis on Infinite Earths was always one of my favourite comics growing up and this is just an injustice to it. The flash is a vital character in the comics but so are several others such as supergirl, Luthor and pariah. This animated film though focuses the entirety on the flash and makes him the sole hero and everybody else is a backup character. The whole first half of the film is just a confused mess as you try to figure out what is happening. Finally the animation style is so lazy and bad that it almost looks like stop motion at some points with the voices not matching the characters. All in all a great disappointment for something Inwas really waiting for.
