Truly A Unique Story, With Great Writing
You know, I am no better than anyone else that is putting reviews out on IMDB. There are a lot that really go overboard with their advice to not watch this or you have to watch that. It does get old. But in my opinion I only try to post reviews that are constructive and useful. But I do advise you always check out the movie or show anyway, because I am only human, and not all humans have the same perspective on things. Now on to the review.
An animated movie needs to have three key factors to be successful. The best possible animation, smart selection in voice actors, and a dynamite story. I feel like the first and the third one, they gave a first-rate effort. However, on selecting great voice actors, they kind of fell short. The last I knew, Wonder Woman was not a Russian citizen. Granted, the rest were spot on, but this was a big one. They gave her a dominant role, so with all of the lines they gave her, having to hear that accent every time she spoke, was like nails on a chalkboard. The story was like something right out of an actual comic book. Original narrative, but the animation could have been better. However, it was decent enough to tell the story. My thoughts are, if you are someone that likes comic books and superhero's, you will enjoy watching this feature. Just take deep breaths when Wonder Woman talks and you will be fine.

A Feast for the Superhero Fan
The Flash speeds us right into another fun, out of his time experience. This movie isn't flawless, but it's full of thrilling, action-packed sequences. With the Flash and Wonder Woman shining the brightest, many characters get great moments. Characters such as Hawkman, Hourman, and Black Canary, who normally get put in the background, get brought up to the front and prove that they can be just as much fun as the more popular heroes. Watching these superheroes engaged in World War 2 action is a real treat. The "superhero versus Nazi" element makes this movie stand out as unique. The problem is that it strays from this motif before too long and turns into another "superhero versus supervillain" story. One of the strengths of the story is that it shows off the scientific smarts of characters such as Flash and Hourman, something that usually stays hidden behind their superpowers. Speaking of superpowers, this movie really showcases what these heroes are capable of. It's a yummy feast for the superhero fan.
