Justice League Dark: Apokolips War

As anyone who is familiar with the DC animated movies will be aware they have never shied away from the darker side of the genre but Justice League Dark: Apokolips War takes it to a whole new level. Do not, I repeat DO NOT allow small children to watch this or they WILL have nightmares.

Now that that's out the way we can get to the matter at hand.

This latest offering from DC's master animators absolutely does not disappoint although I would highly recommend that if you haven't seen the last few in their multitude of releases you at the very least need to watch Justice League Flashpoint Paradox, Justice League Dark (obviously) and Death & Return of Superman (Justice League vs Teen Titans wouldn't hurt either) as these are all integral to the story line that sets the scene for Apokolips War.

As mentioned in my opening paragraph this outing is especially brutal from start to finish with a LOT of unexpected twists and some shocking losses along the way. I was genuinely glued to the screen for the entirety and was disappointed when the credits started to roll, not because I felt the movie was unfinished but because it was so gripping I couldn't believe 90 minutes had already gone by. As with the previous movies in this run there is clearly another instalment on the way and I honestly cannot wait to see what they cook up next time, as every single one of them so far has been stellar.

It is DC and they started to understand their real target audience. they shouldnt target the disney comic fans but more for mature viewers. this movie is bloody, it is wild and it has tragedy. just the way DC movies should go back into. the action is almost non-stop. story is great. of course there are plot holes like any other comic book adaptation but they are very minor. i am waiting for the next phase

Solid ending in my opinion. not too shabby, kinda good actually. i was never really a fan of the dcau movies, they always seemed meh to me. but this one is a little above the meh so it makes a good watch. gotta admit tho, i will miss the dcau, but i'm very open and excited for a new era of dc animated movies.

Good story, full of action. Best to watch all the previous films but it can stand alone also.

The movies's plot is in its name. It's dark.....like really really dark and there's war. It might not be as emotional as Death of Superman but then again it wasn't aiming to be. The movie establishes Darkseid for what he truly is: SMART But this movie is not without problems. For one it tries to fit so much in so little time.... Sorry guys but there's a reason Endgame lasted 3 hours. While most characters don't get their chance to shine... Those who manage to are properly used and perhaps that's what saves the movie. The ending has me really excited for what next the DCAU has in store for us.
