…And people seem to like it.
Following are links to some reviews of my new movie JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS:
…Crisis feels like the perfect Justice League movie; it manages to mix large scale spectacle and smart writing that, although this could never be described as a character-based piece, still manages to have enough character to keep everyone from devolving into generic superheroes; writer Dwayne McDuffie shows off an economy learned from years of working on the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited shows, managing to sketch each member with just a few words, but make them believable despite everything.
The writing is classic McDuffie; plenty of fun humor, great ensemble interaction, some ideological clashes, a bit of satire and some overwritten—but nonetheless snappy—dialogue (”We’re not the same. We both looked into the abyss, but when it stared back… You blinked.”) to complement the action scenes.
if you like comics and super-hero movies you can’t go wrong with DC’s latest animated film, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. It’s a terrific translation of classic comics stories to film with a contemporary flavor.If you’re a fan of the Justice League, “Crisis” is a must-see if only to watch them all kick some you-know-what…
If you love action, if you love adventure, and if you enjoy superheroes, this is probably the best or at least one of the best team comics-based movies you’ll ever see. It’s the best of all the DC Universe films to date, and very likely one of the best animated longjohns movies I’ve ever experienced. It’s that good. Cudos to Dwayne McDuffie, who wrote an incredible script.
…if you watch Justice League Crisis on two Earths you’ll know its a cut above the rest. From start to finish, this is truly a masterpiece.
The DC/Warner Bros. team couldn’t have picked a better author for the “Crisis On Two Earths” script than comics veteran Dwayne McDuffie, and his knowledge of the DC Universe and love for the characters shines in the film…. One of the strongest animated features from DC or Marvel to hit shelves thus far, “Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths” is not only an enjoyable film, but it’s a strong film from start to finish. It also stands heads and shoulders above many of its animated peers by finding the right combination of nostalgic, superhero fun with a sense of urgency and genuine danger for its heroes.
The animation is impressive, fluid and detailed, with a scale that seems to stretch far beyond the small screen. There’s a lot of action in this too, ranging from intimate one-on-one fights to major conflicts between dozens of characters. Both are handled equally well, and with a playful sense of humor that screenwriter Dwayne McDuffie (a former writer for the Justice League TV series) infuses in the film from the very first scene. There are also pop-culture references abound, from Air Force One to Star Wars to Watchmen. Whether you’re a longtime comic-book reader, a fan of the television series or completely new to the Justice League franchise, there’s something in this for everyone.
What’s great about Dwayne McDuffie’s script is how it makes DC’s otherwise indecipherable multiverse concept accessible to people who aren’t as familiar with the comics. McDuffie and directors Lauren Montgomery and Sam Liu make sure to include a litany of great Easter eggs throughout the film, with one of the final moments stealing the show. I can tell you after watching it multiple times that it was well worth the wait, and is a film that fans and non-fans alike will highly enjoy.
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is a great addition to the growing DC animated feature film stable. A strong, proper superhero yarn wrapped up in great action, tons of cameos, beautiful animation and a pleasing selection of voices to listen to, it really is a must see for all long time DC comic book fans the world over!
Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths is just phenomenal.
I absolutely LOVED this movie. Dwayne McDuffie did an amazing job with the script. You don’t need to know anything about the Multiverse or the Crime Syndicate to enjoy the movie. It is full of action and comedy…. There isn’t a second when you are not either laughing or sitting on the edge of your seat.
