Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Three

The Crisis on Infinite Earths and a trilogy long awaited by DC animated film fans are over.

I like that in this conclusion there are several versions of the same characters with the same importance, and even a couple of sequences that show versions that cross the barrier of the DC animated cinematic universe.

The story is entertaining to watch, because it really is a plot on epic scales, but the solutions are very simplistic. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is really the original story or not, it bothers me a lot that the story requires so many unjustified sacrifices as a deus ex machina and that Superman is so irritatingly available to sacrifice himself. Yes, he is DC's greatest hero, but this story goes beyond the man of steel. The character cries out for attention that he no longer has and it doesn't work that he is in the position of leader either.

Regarding the edition, I think I would have liked to see a condensed movie of up to 3 hours long instead of watching 3 parts of 90 minutes. There are shortcomings in the editing of the entire project that could have been easily fixed by removing unnecessary script lines and overly long sequences.

All in all, I had fun, but it could have been much better in many ways. Let's hope that the new animated universe maintains the quality or even surpasses it in James Gunn's hands.

Story is just odd. It's not exactly hard to follow just not interesting and the art is really weird for many of the characters and voice acting or lines is odd. Some characters don't seem to be characterized or written well....

I'm not sure if it's worth watching or not. I spent the whole time looking at my phone and writing this review cause it was more interesting then watching the movie. I think it's kind of has an interesting story or start to one, but it seems like it's trying to be an origin story and set up a new big bad guy. Just seems too busy and like it's trying to do too much rather then just be a good animated super hero movie.

I really don't like this style of animation. When the DCAMU was over I thought they had some better plan with animated movies in the future but this downgrade saga is what we got.

The voice acting? They got famous actors for the acting but it doesn't fit at all. Remember when we have Jason O'mara as Batman and Matt Ryan as Constantine? Also, I like Allen(?) as Damian. His voice really suited Damian's character. Oh, and Constantine in this animation style is far from cool. I mean everyone suits here is a mess.

When the first DCAMU movie come out everything got upgrades and redesigned. It was more modern and beautiful. I don't know what happened in DC' crews now but I really disappointed.

This is a step up from Part Two for sure, but it runs out of steam quickly. All the fun stuff about different timelines crashing together is woefully short and though we finally get our long-overdue peek into the multiverse everyone was waiting for, that, too, is kept to an unfortunate minimum.

A lot of the fun of Multiverse stories is watching different versions of the same character rub elbows with each other and that's such a depressing footnote across this entire movie series. Though we might see multiple versions of Aquaman, or see two Supermen working together, there's basically no commentary to or about each other.

Once you get past the opening with World War 2 soldiers fighting dinosaurs in Metropolis, the whole thing turns in to an unfun slog of talking heads finally trying to solve the mystery of what's really going on. It just takes, like, a full four hours for them to finally reach that point.

This could be worse, I guess. I did not hate it. But I remain pretty underwhelmed regardless.

I waited until I had finished Part 3 before rating and reviewing because it is folly to view these as three separate movies rather than as a series.

Had just a little more care been taken, I believe this trilogy would have been cinema-worthy. The artwork looks like Archer, the pacing is terrible; Part 1, a story where the Flash races through alternate dimensions, should have crackled with energy. Instead, it has gaps of leaden silence, where stilled cells linger more than a beat too long. There are serious continuity issues, where it is impossible to tell where characters physically are in the 'multiverse', and I kept thinking I had missed a section of storyline.

It is interesting what DC have tried to do, here (even for the third time) using a storyline to repair what was a greedy boardroom decision, and the mature, subdued tone is appropriate. Additionally, the voice cast are fantastic, and this is the final chance to hear the Conroy/Hamill partnership. But, if this was such a big deal for the DCAMU, an extra three months of work would have raised it from an oddity to an epic.
