Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: It was probably good if you're a JLA fan Comment: I grew up reading Marvel. I was only interested in the main DC characters like Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. And I think there's a reason why they're the three largest characters on the DVD cover while everybody else is just backdrop. I enjoyed about 5min of this movie. The rest of it was SO BORING!!! And I think this movie is proof that a live action JLA movie wouldn't work. There are too many characters, too much jumping around, and most of the characters are so bland and pointless that you just don't care. There was not enough Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman in this movie to save it. I know the Green Lantern has a big following. Why, I don't know. The Flash seems cool but here he's just dull. I also hated the artwork on the characters. The background artists did a great job. But the character art director did a terrible job. All of the characters have zero detail. They're all blocky with square fingers. It's the same as what you get on Cartoon Network. I wasn't a fan of JLA before this movie and I'm certainly not one now. I think movies of the individual characters might be better though. Still waiting on the Wonder Woman movie. Customer Rating: Summary: in poor taste Comment: As a child of the 1970's, I watched innumerable episodes of the Justice League. I was hoping to share this experience with my own children - I had hoped that they would love it and the superheros as did I when I was young. I found that only 2 minutes or less into the film - this animated cartoon - supposedly geared toward children, was really only a form of Grand Theft Auto or Mortal Combat set in superhero facade. It became graphically violent in mere seconds. Not for children by any stretch of the imagination. It does not even represent the true nature of the original episodes. I do not appreciate when cartoonists make movies based on loved characters that are twisted into a version of the new ultra-violent society we live in. If you are a parent - read this - do not let your children see this movie! Anyone who wonders why society has gotten so out-of-control anti-desentizied to violence need only to watch this "cartoon" to see where our society is headed. Customer Rating: Summary: EPIC AND THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING Comment: I never read the graphic novel this was based on but I've heard great things about it. This film, done by Bruce Timm is a monumental achievement of storytelling and art. So many of us know that comic book heroes are mythic and their stories often have dark and tragic origins. On this level, "Frontier" does not disappoint a true fan. The story-lines are complex intersections of pride, glory and loss and the villain, voiced by the incomparable Keith David, is a menace like none other. Against the backdrop of the post WWII cold war, Timm and company suppose the creation of the Justice League as an answer to fear, cynicism and lost hope. They succeed on all levels. I don't know why the studios don't rely more on animation writers for comic book films. BTAS, JLU and Superman clearly show animation writers understand and love these characters and would never disservice them or their fans. The excellent "Frontier" is evidence of this fact. Customer Rating: Summary: Jeremy Sisto Sucks bat balls Comment: Jeremy Sisto is the worst Batman ever! This is a horrible movie, don't waste your hard earned money. Save it to see The Dark Knight! Customer Rating: Summary: Justice For All Comment: In a time, when all superheroes have been sought as dangerous, America's heroes join forces, to battle the biggest menace, that Earth has faced. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, The Flash (Barry Allen), and The Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) join forces, for the first time, in a classic JL movie. The Classic characters, in a new fresh movie, based in the old WWII era. More Reviews
