It's not great
jochang-3085625 April 2024
I'm not the biggest fan of the Tomorrowverse saga, but each film that's come out thus far has been relatively decent. Until Warworld. Just like that film, is this a long episode or an actual movie? Personally, I like long story arcs that continues across separate entries, but this continuation can't be so much of the focus that it hurts the individual film itself. While parts one, two and eventually three are in the actual title, each release needs to be able to stand on its own. They failed at that here.

Additionally, the entire thing kind of drags. While the parts containing Kara, Psycho Pirate and the Monitor are interesting, the way these events are put together hinders momentum. That, along with the monotonous color palette combines to create a sense of meandering and stagnation. At one point I actually paused the film just to see how much of it was left, something I never do for any film worth watching and the first time I've done so for a DC animated one. By the time the lukewarm cliffhanger hits you simply feel nothing about it.

There have been a lot of criticism about the art style for Tomorrowverse, and while I can confidently say style is subjective and not indicative of true quality, some of the scenes in this film and the ones prior appear to have been rather hastily or even lazily done. A fight happening in the background put there with the absolute minimum effort because, who's going to stare at that? Or someone wiping their face simply with a hand motion sans any of the facial mannerisms to match. Things like this scream budget, effort, or time issues and it absolutely hurts the final product.

I love DC Comics and the animated films/series that have come from them, but this film and a few before it have been disappointing. Even if part three turns out to be amazing, it won't save this one nor justify the time spent to get there.

DC FANS ARE STARVING
Stasjs23 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Literally felt like a bridge between Part One and Part Three.. I just felt like I was watching random superheroes fight and talk. No stakes off the bat. I'm so glad that Kamandi The Last Boy On Earth was made into one of the main characters along with Supergirl.....what a terrible idea. I can't believe how much DC properties have been wasted in the past couple years. Especially animated, I loved a lot of the films from that era but this universe needs the reset button asap.

Man, I didn't think this could've been more boring or exposition heavy than the last film. Part Three has a lot to with getting back on track here. I'm convinced DC hates their fans at this point.

Okay, here's the list of characters in this movie and it wastes ALL of them. Nothing of substance came from this that is meant for one of the biggest DC crossover events.

Batman Superman Supergirl Wonder Woman The Joker Batgirl Robin Nightwing Batman Beyond Hawkman John Stewart Blue Beetle Doctor Fate AND EVEN FREAKIN Constantine came back, thank god because his appearance saved me from the TV power button.

For those curious, just catch up on Young Justice if you haven't already. Not this.

First half is good
BlooberBob28 April 2024
Now the first part of the movie is great. Kara, Psycho Pirate, Harbinger, Monitor were essential to the Crisis Saga. It is great to see them fleshed out in this reimagination. The new harbinger twist is great and connects the story better than the original version.

Then as the movie progresses it gets mired in the shadow demon arc in a bad way. Instead of focusing on telling a good story and trusting in it, you notice how DC falls back to it's safe space, pandering to its base by fanservicing popular characters like the Batfamily and Wonder Woman despite their irrelevance at the point in the story. An endless boring fightscene is only rarely interrupted for plot progression. Now strategically, DC probably know what they are doing. They know their fanbase well and if Batman is here they will come. But from a storytelling perspective and for the quality of the movie, it is a terrible decision.

Also, the animation quality needs to step into this millenia.

DC Animation continues its decline
J_Caron25 April 2024
What a disaster.... DC animation used to be the gold standard for superhero content but now it's a mere shadow of its former self. The storytelling is a convoluted mess that fails to respect its characters or the audience's time; it's unbelievable this concept got a 3 movie deal. Most of the Bat Family gets key jangled in front of you but they all come across as emotionally inept, constantly bickering during the most crucial moments of a multiversal crisis. Jensen Ackles himself delivers yet another lackluster performance. I honestly have no idea how he could sound so bored voicing Batman. Doesn't matter if it's a voice actor like Keven Conroy or a film actor like Christian Bale, they had different tones for different scenes. Ackles never diverts his pitch from sounding mildly annoyed. Unfortunately the animation itself also took a significant downgrade since their previous iteration with Jason O'Mara. It's difficult to see the characters and world you grew up loving look so bland and uninspired. Moreover when theoretically they could do absolutely anything with these characters within the multiverse concept. With everyone upping their animation game (Into the Spiderverse, TMNT, Arcane, X-Men97, Cyberpunk, etc), it's very concerning to see DC diving head first in the wrong direction.

Emptiness at its best
hayounglearnpython30 April 2024
I swear there is nothing to spoil in that movie because nothing happen in 1h30. First movie was really a mess this one can't be a mess because it has no direction.

You watch splitted scenes of some earths and you have no idea which earth you are on because the movie doesn't event bother to display a message "Earth 2" or something.

You have to understand you are on a different earth by yourself if you are on a different earth.

Again, there is no story, nothing is happening except some useless talk and forgettable fights. The DCAMU was much better even it wasn't the best of its genre at least we had something decent.

But here, the movie is just an excuse to justify 3 parts movie where we could have scrapped this movie into 15 min scene and have 2 parts movie well even just one movie.

A decent continuation
rodriog24 April 2024
This sequel significantly surpasses its predecessor by delving into the intricate stories of various characters, elucidating their backgrounds and motivations and it doesn feel like wasted time, as each character and their unique powers play integral roles throughout the film. However the execution of certain pivotal moments, particularly the deaths, lacks the cinematic flair one might expect and impact Additionally, the animation is not the best thing ever.

Nevertheless, the interpersonal dynamics among the characters remain engaging. Their conflicts are portrayed with authenticity, avoiding the trap of feeling contrived or unrealistic. The only notable drawback lies in the character of the monitor, whose portrayal, while consistent with the film's overarching concept, leaves something to be desired in terms of fully realizing his potential.

DC = Disaster Crisis
mgtnz25 April 2024
Where to start.... the continuity and flow of movie/episode was all over the place. The first movie left no real impression and this followed on from. It places focus on characters individually and not as a collective. I don't know what to call this, it doesn't feel like a movie as such more so stints and pieces of different characters trying to achieve the same goal and fighting the same enemy. Hard to believe Flash is so fast he missed Charles. Really use to look forward to DC movies, they had so much good stock but it's just slowly got worse and worse as they've aged. I know DC has always had a serious tone to it, which is what I've enjoy from DC but this seemed more flat above anything else.

Better than part one...
paul_haakonsen4 May 2024
Alright, well after a bland first part of "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths", I have to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to the follow-up DC animated movie titled "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two". But still, I opted to watch it, since I had the chance and had already just watched part one back to back with this sequel.

And it sort of amazes me that a single writer for part two managed to put together a more coherent and entertaining script and storyline in comparison to what three writers did for part one. So thumbs up to writer James Krieg for accomplishing to lift up this event of animated movies.

"Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" felt more complete and entertaining than what part one did. And it actually felt like this could very well function as a stand-alone movie, not requiring you to have sat through part one prior to watching part two. While having watched part one definitely gave a bigger insight into what was transpiring on the screen, it just felt like it wouldn't leave you in the dark if you hadn't watched part one and then sat down to watch part two.

With "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" being an animated superhero movie, then having a good voice acting ensemble was important. And just like in part one, they definitely had a good ensemble of talented voice actors and actresses to bring out the character's voices on the screen.

The art style and animation in "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" was good. And if you enjoyed the art style and animation in part one, you will also like it here in part two.

"Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" was definitely a more wholesome and enjoyable viewing experience for me, and I have to admit that I found "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" to be a more enjoyable story to sit through.

My rating of director Jeff Wamester's 2024 DC animated movie "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Better than Part 1 but...
mattyrogers-180233 May 2024
Yeah this wasn't actually good but it was better than part 1 but that's not hard to do. The animation is still an odd choice. With all the amazing animation in DC animations history and this is what they went with to tell their Arguably largest story arc. Or was it simply down to budget.

The worst part is the actress who is voicing Wonder Woman. I can't be sure but I think she was trying to copy Gal Gadot's accent but she comes across far more Russian than Israeli. I mean did she record her part and send it in? I can't imagine that production heard her take on Wonder Woman and thought it was good. Then again they chose the animators so clearly some people shouldn't have creative control.

The only thing this movie is doing is making wish I'd just watched Arrowverse Crisis crossover. It may not be perfect but compared to this it's the Citizen freaking Kane of comic book adaptations.

Justice Ninja101

Warning: Spoilers
I did like this movie and I think it was good, for the most of it. I love the stories of Supergirl, the Monitor and Psycho-Pirate and the scenes with the Justice League and the Bat Family fighting the Shadow Demons, but not the ones where they fight each other because Psycho-Pirate. I loved seeing Batman Beyond return and Will Friedle voicing the character again. I never liked Wonder Woman's accent in the Tomorrowverse and Earth-46's version of Hippolyta. I was suprised to see Constantine and the Anti-Monitor appear in this movie. I'm excited to see what happens in part 3 and I do hope Flash, Catwoman, Supergirl and more characters returns.

A decent animated comicbook adaptation.
judefelix-2824025 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
The part 2 is way better than the part 1 and the visuals are better. I like the part that they had given a 20-30 min backstory of the psycho pirate's back story. I wish the movie could have been longer. I liked the interpretation of parallel earths and how they had every main justice league characters from different universe. In my opinion it's the best tomorrow-verse movie. The plots are decent but it may sometimes be difficult for new viewers. Hopefully in the last part they introduce characters from dcamu and dcamu, just like the comics, it would very satisfying for the viewers and it will attract more viewers.

The biggest issues are the low quality animation and bad voice acting
imbackfromdadead7 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This movie is enjoyable enough, especially if you're already a DC fan and are familiar with the characters. I do not think its as great as the previous DC films, as the other reviewers have mentioned. But beyond the clunky animation and mediocre voice acting and other minor issues, I enjoyed the movie.

To me the strongest part of this movie was the dialogue and characters. Spoilers, psycho pirate makes an appearance and his backstory, monologue, and interactions with others was interesting. I also liked the monitor's relationship with Kara, and "satellite," a sentient robot. Kara and Monitor have sort of a father-daughter, and how it all turned out at the end was a beautiful tragedy.

Overall, the reviews here feel too harsh, is it a masterpiece? No. Is it great? Maybe not. Is it enjoyable and entertaining if you've watched the previous parts and are an established DC fan? Yes, I think so.

Love it!
cptvalleyberg25 April 2024
I didnt read these comic books, so now I am enjoying watching these stories, and I'd say they are very cool movies.

I enjoy the plot twists and I always loved this specific animation style. Don't know the name of it but it is my favourite.

I absolutely love all the DC animated movies and I think I may have actually watch all of them.

This movie I was confused on the connection with the previous part for at least the first half, but then I understtod why it was made this way.

It is difficult to write reviews, but I really liked this movie, and can't wait for the next part already.

DC is delivering a continuous magnificent animations!

Thank you.
