A return to form for DC animation (by shaswatdgr8) |
For the past two years, DC's Original Animated Movie lineup was a bit shaky in terms of quality, unlike the 6 years preceding it. Going in, even with Bruce Timm a legend in American animation returning, my hopes were not high. I had read the prequel comic series, and I found it entertaining but unnecessarily dark and feared that the movie would suffer from the same flaw. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the movie. It exceeded all my expectations and then some.The movie showcases an alternate DC universe, which has a darker Justice League who investigate the mystery of some missing <more> |
They are trying to get "it" back (by broadcrafts) |
I love the Dc movies i haven't missed one in years but lately for every great movie they make they make three or four horrible ones. Crisis on two earths, under the red hood, flash point paradox were breath taking. But as far as the justice league war and the son of batman series goes. They are horrible its like you wait the whole movie for the other shoe to drop. But not this one the start was no where near strong but i warmed up to it. Gods and monsters definitely could have been better and didn't explain somethings like i would like it to. But was still a god send after i sat <more> |
Expertly handled alternate universe League. (by Animany94) |
This was one hell of an awesome addition to the DCAU. The story of DC's Trinity of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman whose means of operating on earth is brutal and don't shy away from killing their enemies are packed with multi-layered characters and retells their origins in an engaging and sticks with you.The animation was amazing set in the style of the mid 2000's Justice League/Unlimited and is definitely my preferred visual style of the DC animated movies.Don't think twice about watching, because this is as close as can get to a must-watch for fans of the League even <more> |
An excellent addition to the DC lineup (by fireb) |
Writers seem to love alternate universe type shows which allow them the creative flexibility to play with the mindsets and motivations of our beloved character as well as kill characters off with impunity knowing that they will rise again once everything is "reset". These type shows have been executed with varying degrees of success. "The Flashpoint Paradox" is an example of doing this well. "Gods and Monsters" follows in its footsteps as an example of a well executed parallel universe movie.The characters are fleshed out enough for us to become attached without <more> |
One of the best DC Universe Animated Original Movies so far. (by valdezlopez) |
I was planning on seeing this anyway, as I've seen all DC Universe Animated Original Movies films up to now.I learned about this new take on Batman, WonderWoman and Superman and thought, okay, alright, let's see where this goes to.Then learned Bruce Timm and Alan Burnett where behind it, and it only increased my interest in it.Saw the trailer, and thought, this actually looks good.But I've been fooled before with DC Animated films. To be honest, even though I'll keep on watching every single one that they churn out, most of them are really bad, underperforming either in <more> |
Thank You, Bruce Timm (by dramafreak42) |
To say that I've become disenfranchised by the DC Animated films would be a bit of an understatement. Ever since Justice League: War, they've just been a mess. There was the one bright spot of Assault on Arkham but otherwise they've just been dull action movies that don't do the characters justice. Thank goodness WB brought back Bruce Timm, who was one of the primary creative forces behind the Batman and Justice League animated series that kicked off DC animated projects being good in the first place. The result is the best DC animated film since New Frontier.Gods and Monsters <more> |
Can Stand Alongside Some of the Other Best DC Animated FIlms (by DoubleOscar) |
I was hesitant about what Gods and Monsters would bring to the table. I was hoping it put DC animated movies back on track after some mediocre entries like Throne of Atlantis. And I'm delighted to announce that DC is back. Gods and Monsters is another great entry in DC's animated film catalog that can stand alongside some of the greats like Under the Red Hood or Flashpoint Paradox.The story has an interesting premise. We see three of the founding members of the Justice League in this Elseworld story where the Justice League is more brutal and morally gray which makes the government <more> |
A good superhero flick with a darker tone (by vensun) |
A good twist on the old formula After watching DCs newest animated film I have to say i am impressed. They took the well know characters of Batman, Wonder Woman and superman, and they changed it just a bit, which resulted in a lo more dark and gritty justice league. The characters are well thought of, not acting based on clichés, and the voice acting is really good. The story is good but based on the 3 pre-released short on you tube I was - expecting even more, especially after watching super-mans short with Braniac, which is genius. The twist of the story is a bit expected, and quite <more> |
New characters, a new universe, leaves you wanting more!!!! (by piratepeteshow) |
Justice League Gods and Monsters. I'm always excited when a new DC animated movie comes out. Here are my thoughts with Possible SPOILERS but none that involve the story. The film opens on Krypton Supermans home world we quickly learn this film is going to take place in a different universe. We get to see this universe of The Justice League who still fight crime but in a very different Killing way. the people of Earth have mixed feelings on them if they are good or bad, Gods or Monsters. we are left guessing and thinking that very question.Superman who is Zods son, had a similar <more> |
