Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a very awesome movie by Dwayne McDuffie which I believe was his last project before he passed away.RIP Dwayne McDuffie, you would never forget from fans who have watched Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, Teen Titans, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. The voice acting was amazing I just find it weird that Tim Daly hasn't been asked to reprise his role as Superman in any DC project ever since this movie but he is really good but weird they didn't ask George Newbern to voice I guess he was busy with Superman VS. Elite.Kevin Conroy, Susan Eisenberg, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rosenbaum and Bumper Robinson were all good as their roles in this movie. Surprisingly Phil Morris improved as Vandal Savage from his performance in Justice League which I found too light. The rest of the voice actors except Metallo's were good.The story was good but I found it weird that most of the rouges of the Justice League were just primary villains like Metallo and Mirror Master. I would have to choose Joker or Ra Ul Ghoul, Lex Luthor, Darkseid or Brainiac, Sinisto or Atrocities, Areas or Hades, Professor Zoom, Savitar or Zoom and Despiro instead of those primary douche bags.The story and the animation were good as well.So overall fantastic movie if you are a fan of DCAU then you might love this movie.

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.

Right away, I will admit it makes the same conceits as all superhero narratives. It's a bit convoluted, the plot loops around the same megalomania and way-too-huge everything. In general, the visuals are pleasing in pretty much every aspect. The backgrounds fantastic, the character designs are sharp and fun to watch, from background schmoes to heroes, even the villains. The fight scenes are dynamic, fluid, and feel... fighty. Claudia Black's voice on that Cheetah? Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordan? I've never been one for cheesecake but oh my god, yes. Yes! I'd go into more detail but that'd be creepy.On a lighter side of the same note, the voice actors/actresses are the same ones from the series, which more or less defined these heroes in my young life, at least in an auditory context. Kevin Conroy shaped my idea of what Batman sounds like, and the parts are acted to a tee- Batman is that not-totally-sinister that we love, Susan Eisenberg is feminine and strong, Carl Lumbly does a good job of being not-quite-human, Michael Rosenbaum... Even the new additions are hitting the mark on every note. Blackthorne, d'Abo, and Denisof aren't instantly recognizable, but that's okay because the bar for dialog isn't set too high (I'll get to that later). Bumper Robinson was never in JL per se, but he was Cyborg in other series (I think) and he's familiar and comfortable. Phil Morris voices Savage kinda like he did Jet Black, but for lack of a better word, more evil. He strips out the more humanizing inflections, adds a dash of entitlement, bam, evil conqueror. After that, anyone who isn't doesn't have a history or get glossed over is kinda typecast. Fillion as a wisecracking yet secretly warmhearted hero? Claudia Black as an alluring and violent femme fatale? Carlos Alazraqui as *anyone Hispanic*- c'mon. It's fun, but no one's out to bust convention.Writing is... hit or miss. As with all comic book stories, it takes suspension of belief as far as it can run with it. Soft science at best, flimsy logic, motivations that are either simple or petty or both. Superman is the omni-altruist, Wonder Woman is woman warrior, Cyborg as genius bruiser, Flash is cocksure nice guy, Green Lantern is the same with far fewer qualms, Vandal Savage wants power, and any villain can be characterized as "personal vendetta and rhymes with 'glass hole'." There are a couple bright points. Dialogue has its moments of clarity, and Batman. It can't pack much characterization into that little time, it just can't be done- so the best you get is a couple choice snippets.Star Sapphire is clearly motivated, if simply. Mirror Master has some of the same smartass charm as Flash, if not more. He comes off as a guy who has fun with his job. Cheetah is sharp, but arrogant, and really the only appeal is sex appeal. I'm a young man, so sue me. I saw 99% of all dialog coming a mile away, even Batman's, but they make me squeak with joy because they are that cool. Cheesiness and all.tl;dr Cheetah's hot, Lantern's hot, everything's cheesy and if you set the bar low it's fun. Don't expect Citizen Kane. If this were any other genre I'd give it a 3/10.
