Liga da Justiça: Crise nas Infinitas Terras - Parte Três

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.

I'm not versed in the source material at all outside of common knowledge for fans of the shared universe, so my enjoyment of this film is for the film itself. That, and the Tomorrowverse overall. Were I an avid reader of the comics and knew Crisis well, it would not surprise me to find myself disliking this far more.

But as a trilogy, this conclusion really wasn't so bad. It was greatly helped by brief visits to well-loved shows in the past, all in its original art style no less. The nostalgia train hit me so hard I couldn't help but instantly like this film a little more the second it came on screen. This movie also had some decent moments unrelated to old heavy hitters. While it wasn't the best of the franchise, I still enjoyed it for what it is.

However, the main issue with these recent films is that hardly any of them are complete stories by themselves. It's all tied to other entries that came before it. If this only happened for the trilogy I wouldn't judge so harshly, since parts 1, 2 and 3 are literally in the title. But we also saw this for films that preceded it, transforming these into episodes of the same story and not separate, though inter-connected movies. This happens when there's too much crossover which blurs the entire arc into one amalgamation. Instead of cool references here and there where the audience can get excited at recognizing something for having seen previous installments, thorough knowledge of the continuity is expected of the viewer which easily becomes drag when seemingly the same story has been occurring for a long, long time. Perhaps this was intentional due to it being infinite earths and all. If so, the intent is appreciated, but left wanting in practice. Or maybe their assumed audience are all DC diehards, in which case this isn't great storytelling.

It also has to be mentioned that some scenes are poorly done. It's hard to describe but the quality throughout the trilogy, as well as many of the films before it is noticeably inconsistent. You've got moments that are excellent while others are so low-effort it's amazing they're in the same movie. Don't know what's happening in the animation studio but it seriously affects the end result in a negative way.

I'm a DC fan. These characters are among my favorites in any franchise. This means I'll continue to watch whatever DC puts out. Having said that, Tomorrowverse was disappointing overall. Too much reliance on previous entries aside, with very few exceptions it wasn't until this film that our heroes started feeling like the people we know and love. Then, suddenly, it's over. Quite a bittersweet send-off. There's something missing, but by this point I'm somewhat glad it's done.

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.

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.
