Jman and Johnny Love Movie Review: Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

Great stuff. I really liked it too, best since WW I thought. Problems were not enough screen time for GL, a few dodgy lines.."Aquaman, be careful, they are much stronger than you"..wtf? But I thought all of the voice work was good..some great. Awesome fight scenes..particularly Owlman v Batman..and what a final line from Bats!

You are tea......cause you have horrible British taste. :)

He was OK, nothing spectacular but OK

must be gd if LEE like's it lol.
ello tea hun hows you :)

Shaman- TOTALLY AGREE! Public Enemies was AWESOME, I
thought that Kid was kinda funny..With
LOOKing at Power Girl with his X-ray goggles!
the whole film was GREAT!

Great review guys! I can't wait to BUY this!

William Baldwin FINALLY GOT WORK LOL! But I too will
miss CONROY but I'm sure he will be BACK!

ROR- PIMP AWAY!..are you going to review Shutter Island?
If NOT check MINE out! In the REVIEWS section
of course...PIMPED!

Thanks Jman1977: You guys are awesome with your video reviews and this one definitely got me pumped! The only thing was I listned to your review, I didn't want to see any of the opening footage cause it felt like a spoiler.Anyways, awesome review guys, can't wait to see your next video.

Ror- Just re-read your PE review and although you do raise some good points, i guess i'm just a little less... what's the word??? ..."extreme"? Certain things just didn't bother me. Like Powergirl being more naive than in the comics. Since she was the only one that felt Sups wasn't crazy (asides from bats of course), she was just smack dab in the middle of a dilema where she just didn't know what to think. I don't think it would have been beyond her but she did have this "little girl" vibe that is way more "Supergirl" than Powergirl. But hey, it was still nice to see her animated :) The voices could have been a bit off when compared to the previous series but with the little dialog, it didn't stroke me the wrong way. Too much fighting? Not for me. It's what i was expecting since they were two against the DCU. So i was satisfied with that. As for the story, i'm just not sure they could have added that much more to it even if they had the time to. It could have felt unnecessary. The rough language (beeped or not) was flat out unnecessary. It took me out of it but at least it was only two instances. As for the "you're my best friend" line, he meant as in he's the ONLY friend he has. So that was taken out of context. They didn't grab each other's asses in it like everyone is making it out to be.

So i guess my opinion is affected by me not having seen Wonder Woman or First Flight yet. I wanted to grab Wonder Woman with PE but there were none left so i settled for Ong Bak 2 instead (haven't watched it yet). And i'll have to agree with you on the animation, it is by far the best i've seen of DC yet!!! So all in all, i think it deserves a 4 stars out of 5. The only thing i'd give a 5 stars for DC is on their "The Batman" animated series. Not even the first animated series.

peterparker420- I also agree with you on animation. I prefer it to CGI. I mean, i like CGI for certain things but not everything. Superheroes look weird in CGI. I even thought Batman looked weird in Arkham Asylum. I prefer "Ultimate Spider-man"(video game) type of animation for superheroes either in films or video games. I mean, it worked for the turtles but, Casey and April were a bit off because of it.

SHAMAN- YUP totally agree, Ult Spidey (video game) was
awesome looking and playing!..LOL, my copy of
Batman: Arkham Asylum in the mail today!
Can't wait to play it!..I have been playing
Mass Effect 2 alot and need a change of pace!

TEA @ ; )

Hawkngo @ Lol!! : D

Don't get me wrong, I still liked Public Enemies, I just didn't think it was up to DC's standard up to that. Didn't hook me in like WW, GL, New Frontier, Gotham Knights..or even Doomsday, so I felt I had to reflect that in the rating.

Crisis totally hooked me..I loved every minute of it(bar the bits I didn't:). I didn't bother with a review but its a definite 4/5 from me anyway.

Good review. Guess I'll be getting this tomorrow.

Well done Jman and Johnny

Another stellar review. I'll be picking this up tomorrow.

fo sho

I think my problem with public enemies is similar to my problem with doomsday, I loved the comic it was based off of...and the movie just fails to capture the nuances of the story and instead boils it down to just a series of fight scenes. They were good fight scenes but the book was more. I liked it better than doomsday though.

SHAMAN- VERY nice points you made there!..I agree with
the LOOK of supes was WAY OFF..and yes I wanted
the fight scene to last longer. Lex was GREAT
in doomsday and has the best quote ever.
"there comes a time, when even gods must die"
that line alone was awesome. YES, LOIS voice
acting was off..worst cast ever? maybe. you're
right about the clone thing?..Reign of superman
was great storyline!..Man I'm just agreeing with
you WHAT THE HELL? Maybe is should watch that
movie again?..Maybe I just liked the fighting
so much.. I didn't care about the story? I have
to watch it again!

Great review guys! :)

Guys, check out my CAPTAIN AMERICA: REBORN Fan Cast!!! Just click the link!

Billy- Dude, if i found the "plot" as lame on "Lois & CLark", then why would i enjoy the same plot in an animated film? Cause it wasn't anymore brilliant. "Superboy" is a fresh and cool "clone plot", not a flat out identical clone. It's been done so many times in the past in so many ways that it makes it totally bland and unoriginal. Same thing with avatar. They "could" have given the plot fresh twists to make it more entertaining but they didn't. Neither did "Superman: Doomsday" and it's actually worse in their case since they had a critically acclaimed blueprint; "Reign of the Supermen". Comparing it to a "Lois & Clark" episode doesn't take away any of my credibility cause in reality it takes it away from the animated film. The fact that they opted with a fully cheesed out concept when they had a tried, tested & true pillar to work with is nothing short of retarded. The film was an enjoyable waste.

Geez Shaman

You seem pretty vested in Lois and Clark. ^_^ No need to jump into super defense mode bro. You're credibilty wasn't called into question by anyone but you. Your taste on the other hand, is another matter. And that's all this is, a question of taste. I thought Doomsday was excellent in comparisson to some of the more recent films. It wasn't just "good fight scenes", it was brutal. Lex was at his best, and better than he's been in any of the recent films. Tho voiced by the great Clancy Brown in PE, you can't deny the performance was flat. Doomsday's Lex was unforgiving, killing Mercy to cover his tracks and even controlling the cures of some of Earths deadliest viruses and diseases for his own personal gain. You complain that the "cannon" wasn't followed closely enough, but then bash it for being too much like other storylines involving cloning Superman. I'm not saying it wasn't. But it worked for me. A superboy clone? That, to me, sounds like a "fully cheesed out concept" which may work for a Smallville or Lois and Clark, but not for what Doomsday was going for. I thought the movie was DC animated's most "adult" film to date. They didn't shy away from any of the ruthlessness that was needed. Spending a third of the movie on a fight between Doomsday and Superman would've been exactly what would've made that movie nothing but "a good fight scene", leaving very little time to develop anything else. I also think Doomsday has better replay value than ANY of the other animated features, save for Return of the Joker. I don't expect you to agree, just don't bite my head off when you reply ;)

You're my boy Shaman. Wasn't disrespecting, just givin my take. Now give us a kiss and lets not be so angry ^.^

Do what you like, Parker.

It just sounded to me like you were back steppin a bit. Like you started feelin it was just one good fight scene. I could be wrong. I've been wrong plenty of times before. I'll be wrong again at some point. It's your opinion man, I'm not saying you can't agree with him. I just didn't hear you defend your opinion at all, and that's the only thing in this world that is truly yours. That's all I'm saying. But do what you like.

Shaman

Sorry if I came off as a douchebag, not my intention.

There is one thing that I will agree with you 100%. The design of Superman was totally off. It was the one thing about the film I truly did not like. I got over it, I didn't think it was a deal breaker, but you were spot on with that assessment. I didn't think Anne Hash was terrible. She's no Dana Delaney, but who is? ;)

@ Anil Rickly: Dude this is just my opinion but I thought Dantes Inferno was horrible. Maybe the game is better but the cartoon movie was choppy and just horrible.
