The way I always see it, if I enjoy a movie, whether I agree with the moral or the depictions of characters or not I always give it a seven. Then I take into consideration my personal tastes.
Justice League War is bitter sweet for me. I thought, you know what, I enjoyed that movie. No doubt. But at the same time I had to say I thought it was one of the worse of their titles to date. Especially coming after Flashpoint which was plain badassery at its best.
Just so you know my fav DC Animated Features
1) Justice League Flashpoint (EPIC EPIC EPIC)
2) JUSTICE LEAGUE NEW FRONTIER
3) Wonder Woman (Totally Badass in my opinion)
4) Dark Knight Returns second Part obviously
5) JUSTICE LEAGUE CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS
6) All Star Superman (best superman to date, the others suck)
7) Batman Year One
8) Justice League Crisis Two Earths
The rest are kind of just blah to me and JL war really stands up there in the blah catergory. First time I saw Wonder Woman, Paradox and New Frontier, I pretty much just started the films again to enjoy the badassery for a second turn. The only reason I didn´t do that with Dark Knight was because I´d read it a few times. I think my main issue with the movie is a matter of taste. First off there are so many more comics worthy of DC adaptation than New 52 Justice League. What Johns has done to the dynamic makes it to me like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles only a little edgier. You know
Justice League conflicting characters
Justice League conflicting characters
Wonder Woman taught them to be warriors, SHE´s (she's a radical chick!)
Superman leads, Bruce Waynes the bat that does machines (That's a fact, Jack!)
Green Lanterns cool but crude (Gimme a break!)
And Shazam and Flash are party dudes (Lets Party!)

Heroes in a half shell
Justice power!
I know thats what kids like, but JL has always been more than that to me and I just kind of find it childish and lame.
I hope they really don´t start going New 52 route, because some of the older graphics like Kingdom Come, Superman Birth Right, Earth One, even stuff like Wonder Woman Circle or a Flash or Shazam or Aquaman Origin, Batman Earth One forgodsake. The list just goes on of how many Pre New 52 archs really deserve the love way before New 52 stuff becomes a regular fixture.
What do you think?
