Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part One

I don't know what happened with DC animation. They use to be the best part of DC. Some of the animated movies were way better than any of the live action DC/Marvel movies. The last few animation movies have been terrible. Everything from the design of the characters, dialog and story. Who ever was in charge of the old animation bring them back. For this being a crisis storyline it was terrible. The story was all over the place I know there 2 more parts coming but this was so hard to watch that idk if I will even watch the others. Do better DC you're going to lose the rest of your fan base smh.

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.

I was going into this with high expectations. From Flashpoing Paradox, War, and the Dark movies to this? Really? For starters, the quality of the animation is a huge step back. This looks like Dexter's Laboratory from 20 years ago. Another problem is that DC Animation excels when it's rated R. I could almost entertain showing it to my younger ones, but the animation is just bad. With new movies out like Blue Eyed Samurai, how can Warner Bros not keep up with modern standards?

This is a beloved story and a chance to really take DC Animation to another level. It's the one category where DC has been beating Marvel for quite some time. It didn't have to be as gory as the War movie, but some real deaths to show the impact of the situation would've helped. I don't think I care to watch the next 2 movies of this unless they look completely different. All in all, the wrong people seemed to have been selected to make this movie. It's nowhere near as good as what's been coming out for DC Animation. Watch it if you're a fan, but go in with low expectations. The Crisis on Two Earths was better than this and that was made in 2010. When James Wood's voiced Owl Man, that was memorable. Those characters are in this movie and somehow just come off as worse. That plot was way better too. Big L here for DC, get your act together and redo whatever you were working on for part 2 or just lose money the way Marvel has been now for awhile.

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.

I watched this the other wek and honestly its a slow burn and not really aimed for young kids although they can watch it.

This is a long movie hat they split into three parts and I think the CW did a better job within the Arrow verse but I have only seen the first part so cannot pass that much judgment. I have to watch the other part and then an really make a call on how good they start and how good they finish it all up.

In saying this I do recommend anyone that si a DC fan its a good little movie series to add to your collection.

The only thing i do not like about these types of series its more than one movie and you ahve to commit more time to get to the end and you hope for a satisfying ending.

I guess will wait to the end of part threee for a final thought on this DC movie series.
