Justice League : Crisis on Infinite Earths Partie 3

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.

It amazes me how Jeff Wamester still keeps his job as a director for DC animation department at WB. For many years he made abysmal animation effort for the brand so much that it feels like a new normal. WB DC animation used be regarded in such a high manner it saddens to see such works.

Crisis on Infinite Earths was a really weird, but nonetheless important and culturally significant event for comic books history. It never seemed like an easy job to transfer it in animation or live action medium. So for it to succeed it had to at least be gorgeously animated and story wise fulfil the main themes of comics narrative.

But what we got here is a lazy, non coherent work, which removes the most interesting parts of the story and fills in the gaps with terrible animation sequences, a lot of exposition and a bunch of parts that could've been cut out altogether. At the end we get a product that is so boring, that I've fallen asleep a couple of times and had to rewind it.

I was never a really big fan of the Crisis on Infinite Earths event, but I did respect the original authors and how they managed to fill in so much in one story. Having that material should've helped to at least make a coherent story for animation, but what we got is a cheap spit to the face of animation industry, especially for those animators who previously were so successful and hard working in DC department. It's just a shame that after all this time fans got to see the worst kind of imagination of Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The two first instalments were okay/good and set things up pretty well. I think the story could have been cut shorter, but overall we have enough mystery, setup, and entertainment to keep the viewer interested. Sadly they failed to nail the landing. This is convoluted, dragged out, and just goes on and on, having several endings which never is the ending. I was yawning and wondering what to have for dinner rather than being interested in the last battle.

The voice actors mainly do a great job, and this is not horrible, it is just a letdown after having a good setup.

I am not going to go into more details or spoil this, but I honestly think the CW did it better, which should tell you all you need to know.

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.

I don't understand people hating on everything, read the comments and it seems like it was not meaningful enough or some stupid thing like that!

I feel like people forget to just enjoy entertainment, not that it had no flaws but comparing to part 2 or many of the past 5 years content they threw at us, this was better than I expected!

Yes I get that it's not perfectly like what happened in comic books but I really thought it was close enough and kept the ending mystery to the very last moments which I believe hasn't happened for a long time!

And Thank you for not sending Flash back again to do something, I could have not stand that type of ending anymore.

7/10 I think it's fair.
