JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time

All I can say is...not much.

My kids enjoyed and was entertained by it so I guess that is the only thing that matters.

Both the animation and story was alright, but both could have been better. Like some of the other reviewers mentioned it did feel a bit like a 1 hour Super Friends television special with the all too familiar Legend of Dome headquarters and Hall Of Justice.

There was some heavy hitters in the voice acting department at least.

Didn't like the inconsistency of when Superman disappeared, so should have Bizarro since he was an imperfect clone of Superman. No Superman, No Clone!

This is a very childish superheroes movie for the kids. If your under 10 and is up for a Saturday morning cartoon movie, this might work for you. If not, this movie is silly, from the animation to the character directions. This is pretty much a very simple time travel movie. With the main DC superheroes not really leaving much of an impact when it comes to the story as a whole. There is one clever idea to defeat the villain in this story, but besides that it's on the lever of another regular Saturday morning cartoon and a mediocre one at that. Batman practically does almost absolutely nothing in this.

4.3/10

An entertaining movie that is not excellent, but has its essence, questionable negative points, and still delivers.

"JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time" is a super simple proposal for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because of certain arguments that were not taken into consideration. However, despite this, it offered attractive moments. "Trapped in Time" is a super simple offering for the little ones at home, but it is also enjoyable for fans of DC animated films, with a sustainable premise that has shortcomings due to various scenes that take you out of context because certain arguments were not taken into consideration, but despite that, it provided attractive moments. This movie is a rollercoaster of emotions because you might not like it or simply let it pass by to find something that catches your attention.

Regarding the animation, I think it has its advantages and disadvantages, as the movement sequences, color tones, action sequences, and some character designs are decent, making it coherent for a small production like this. However, the focus on many of the characters' faces is debatable. Many of them are not well drawn or were done in a very strange manner, which can slightly diminish the experience.

It should also be added that the movie does not escape the conventional, the neglect of each hero or villain's abilities by the script, the forced comedy, the scenes that make no sense at all, the excessive addition of characters, and perhaps small plot holes that have no answers.

In that sense, I think it's valid or fun to see many of your heroes fight their enemies, watching them work together (even if it's a little) and contributing something more to the animated films.

Lex Luthor will always be a great villain, even though sometimes he forgets how intelligent he is. I must highlight the action scenes of Karate Kid. The plots involving time travel and its consequences always catch attention.

JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014) is a DC animated movie with the Justice League in a time travel story again and it was okay enough.

Positives for JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014): I like how the Justice League are dealing with a villain who can control time and space. You have two characters from the future in Laura Bailey as Dawnstar and Dante Basco as Karate Kid and I like how they play a major part in stopping the villain from destroying time and space. You also have Lex Luthor screwing up the timeline just so that he can win and take over the world. The action sequences are a lot of fun. And finally, I like how Karate Kid and Dawnstar both learn their own lessons after defeating the main villain in the past.

Negatives for JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014): This movie is too short and it feels like the story is being rushed. Lex Luthor's evil plan to destroy the Justice League is really dumb especially when you include having some of the villains looking for his past self in the Arctic. And finally, the final battle was very underwhelming.

Overall, JLA Adventures: Trapped in Time (2014) is a perfectly fine DC animated movie with the DC Superheroes, but it is not one that I'll be in the hurry to rewatch anytime soon.

I'll keep it simple. It has a character called Karate Kid (!?) - yeah I'm not joking! The best scene features Bizarro and Solomon Grundy having a low IQ conversation. That's it. Bad beyond belief. Imagine the power of time travel preventing this flick from being made. That may be a better story.

As a side note, why are they making more and more preschool friendly animated movies? Marvel's Black Widow and Punisher movie was equally bad. The days of JL Unlimited storytelling seem to be over. :(

P.S. The guy who said that this is more watchable than JL: War clearly doesn't watch enough animated films.
