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.

Apokolips War is the biggest finale in the DCAMU.....from the great voice cast,to epic fight scenes....parents should know that this is the darkest DC animated movie ever made.....too many gore & blood...many heroes die,& a few survive.....anyway,its a must watch R rated superhero animated movie

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

This is what superhero movies need. A good story with some gore and not being afraid to kill off heroes.

This movie is one of the best animated superhero movies I've seen and I'm sure if this same movie was made live action it would kill it at the box office.

And i loved what they did with king shark, some really good laughs from him. Also Constantine was great in this movie.

There are some things that don't make sense like power levels because i don't understand how a lot of characters could take on doomsday monster things and characters like Louis being so badass all the sudden, but it all went together really well at the end.

King shark is a shark!

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.
