I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Although Batman trusts the Justice League, he was always worried the day may come when one or more of them might turn, get blackmailed, or possibly just go insane and be a threat to the world (himself being no exception). Therefore, he created a special protocols for each team member that could be used to incapacitate them should that event ever arise.Vandal Savage (being one of the most intelligent villains) found a way to hack Batman's computer and weaponize these fail-safe protocols making them deadly to each team member. Recognizing that his own protocols are being used against his own team, it's a race against the clock to locate each team member, analyze what Savage did to each one, and find a way to disarm it before it's too late...My favorite part of this film was when Batman explained what he had done, he was asked how he could have done such a thing. His response -- "You mean none of you have thought of doing the same thing?" When his team implied that they would never imagine such a thing he said, "Then you're fools!"This was a very deep and intense film, and it's a must-see for DC fans or fans of superhero sci-fi in general.
Justice League: Doom is one of the best comic book adaptations there is. The characters match their personality and their abilities. I watch this movie whenever I have free time and I'm always entertained.The way the plot unfolds is great and is an awesome story from the comics and the movie does and excellent job transferring it to the film. At first I was a little confused with who some of the villains were, but once they explained and the story rolled out everything made sense.If you were a DC fan then this would be a 1st pick to watch but if you are not a DC or superhero fan then this is probably a 3rd pick movie if you have nothing to do but still it will leave you entertained and craving more comic book movies.
Dwayne McDuffie, the writer of this film, sadly passed away while it was being made and it is dedicated to him. McDuffie wrote some of the greatest episodes of Justice League, one of the finest superheroes ever made. (In my opinion the first 2 seasons are THE very best with McDuffie's episodes being the finest of all).It must be said that Doom is not among the best of his work on JL, possibly because it is based on comic-book original with some shaky aspects to the plot. The changes made to turn it into a film have made matters worse. In the comic, it is plausible that Ra's Al-Ghul(the original villain) would know that Batman would store data on how to subdue his team mates, but why would Vandal Savage? Batman states that his original plans were to incapacitate the JL and that they were somehow changed to make them lethal. But they all seem lethal in their conception and its hard to see what changes were made. For instance, Superman is shot with a Kryptonite bullet- what was the original non-lethal version of that? Some of the legion of Doom seem strangely chosen for their tasks. The huge robot Metallo was able to disguise himself as a human somehow- wouldn't an actual shape shifter have been a better choice? Cyborg did not appear in the original comic, and it shows. In all ways he seems superfluous to requirements. The omission of the Legion of Doom (or indeed Batman) to deal with him is a serious oversight but not one that has much bearing on the plot. Batman escapes his trap by himself and then organises the escapes of others, with Cyborg offering only minor assistance to Wonder Woman which, one imagines, Batman could have also sorted out.Having said this, this remains an enjoyable adventure.
Vandal Savage steals Batman's files on his Justice League teammates and uses them to learn the weaknesses of the heroes. He then sends the Legion of Doom to take out the Justice League one by one. Entertaining animated DC movie adapted from the comic book story "Tower of Babel." Some things were changed, of course. For instance, Hal Jordan and Cyborg were shoehorned into things because DC wants them to be a big deal these days. Most importantly, in the comic it was Batman villain Ra's Al Ghul behind everything. Here it's Vandal Savage and the Legion of Doom.The voicework is mostly good. It's great to see Kevin Conroy, Susan Eisenberg, and Tim Daly back, as well as some of the other actors from the Justice League series. I've been unimpressed by the stunt casting of the DCAU movies from the late '00s to today. The animation is fine. The movie's not without flaws. As is often the case with these movies adapted from comic stories, they seem to take for granted the audience is familiar with the mythology and history behind the various characters and stories. This doesn't bother me specifically because I am generally familiar with the source material, but it could be a problem for viewers who don't read the comics or haven't watched many of the animated movies or the TV series. There's something to be said for making these stories accessible to both fans and new viewers. If you're a viewer familiar with the material, you should definitely like this. If you're new to it, I still think you will be able to enjoy it. You might not get every little detail but you won't be lost in the plot, I'm sure.
