Very enjoyable Justice League story....
I have to say I overall really enjoyed this adaption of this iconic story. Admittedly I am not familiar with the source material having never had the chance to read it thus far and it was fairly obvious that stuff was missing as it it did feel rushed due to the short runtime. I'm a DC fan at heart and I have enjoyed mist of their animated outputs up to this film but short runtimes have always frustrated me, especially when they take on such big iconic stories that clearly could be spread across 2/3 films. However I enjoy them for what they are and so long as story, voice acting and animation are up to point then I'm generally happy.
Injustice has a few other short comings in terms of script and some odd characterisation choices. What I enjoyed most was the good pacing of the film and some splendid smackdowns amongst these titular heroes. Also the dark tone of the film was excellent with so many iconic characters dropping like flies.
Injustice has some shortcomings for sure but it's still a very enjoyable watch and definitely one I'd revisit again in the future. - fantanadee - 20 July 2023
A decent story severely hindered by poor art style
I have always been a fan of Injustice as a concept. The storyline itself is really quite good considering it's spun out of a game. DC have never been a company to shy away from brutality when it counts, and it certainly counts in fighting games, I suppose.
The core tale, Superman pushed over the edge, totalitarian rule being fought against, friends become foes, is all pretty solid, but my goodness the character design and overall choice of animation style is just so ugly and boring! Why are all of their knuckles black?!? Seriously? I cannot fathom why! It's so distracting! Are they meant to be shadows? Cause that's not how shadows work.
In all seriousness, just read the comics. The art is generally less off putting than this and the stories are more fleshed out. Give this a miss.
