I was going into this with high expectations. From Flashpoing Paradox, War, and the Dark movies to this? Really? For starters, the quality of the animation is a huge step back. This looks like Dexter's Laboratory from 20 years ago. Another problem is that DC Animation excels when it's rated R. I could almost entertain showing it to my younger ones, but the animation is just bad. With new movies out like Blue Eyed Samurai, how can Warner Bros not keep up with modern standards?
This is a beloved story and a chance to really take DC Animation to another level. It's the one category where DC has been beating Marvel for quite some time. It didn't have to be as gory as the War movie, but some real deaths to show the impact of the situation would've helped. I don't think I care to watch the next 2 movies of this unless they look completely different. All in all, the wrong people seemed to have been selected to make this movie. It's nowhere near as good as what's been coming out for DC Animation. Watch it if you're a fan, but go in with low expectations. The Crisis on Two Earths was better than this and that was made in 2010. When James Wood's voiced Owl Man, that was memorable. Those characters are in this movie and somehow just come off as worse. That plot was way better too. Big L here for DC, get your act together and redo whatever you were working on for part 2 or just lose money the way Marvel has been now for awhile.
