A nice short. I like it. Especially since it has Damian kicking ass.
Go watch it if you haven't and are interested to see it. I loved it. It was really dark, and if you like dark, then watch it. I liked the bittersweet ending. I liked Nergal as a villain. I liked Chas, and I liked John Constantine. John is a really interesting hero, he's sort of an anti-hero at times, in my opinion, but he's still a hero nonetheless, at least I see him as such. As much as the characters would like to hate John and call him a bad person, he's a good person. Nergal's last words were really chilling and made John reconsider what he was doing for a few seconds, and that's why I like Nergal. The movie was just really good, but I have trouble putting it all into words, so let's end the review.
I really liked this one! I didn't like it as much as the Teen Titans movies or as much as The Death of Superman or Batman: Bad Blood, but this one has what those movies didn't have: a masterful villain.
No, I don't mean Darkseid, but he's really cool so I can't blame you if you thought I meant him. I mean Hank Henshaw, AKA Cyborg Superman. He's as cool and complex as Talon, more understandable and relatable than Talia, as thirsty for revenge as Deathstroke, if not more, has more personality leaps above Doomsday, more screentime than Trigon, and more petty than every other villain I listed before. He's just so cool and interesting to me. Hank really captured what I believe a good villain should be, except for being very smart or cunning which Hank isn't; he's not bright, as he fell for Lois' mockery which caused him to stop Darkseid's invasion, but I still loved Hank for who he was and how he became such a petty monster. Failed by his hero, the loss of his wife as too great for him to handle, so he wanted Superman to suffer, to know what it was like. He's not the most complex villain, and maybe I was exaggerating when I said he was as complex as Talon from Batman vs. Robin, but Hank will still be my number 2 fave villain from the DCAMU at this moment; Talon being my first fave villain from the DCAMU (he's smarter and more cunning than Hank, and maybe more understandable and relatable).
Anyway, it was good. I love Batman and Superman and Wonder Woman, and good villains, which Hank and Darkseid are, in my opinion. Other things and characters I liked were Cyborg, The Eradicator, Steel, Cress Williams playing Steel, Lex Luthor, Superboy, the Kents, Diana and Lois getting along, and how bittersweet the end was. I just wish Lois was less annoying and that Tony Todd didn't replace Steve Blum as Darkseid, but I still really like this movie and I highly recommend it.
SPOILERS for this movie and Batman v Superman.
I loved it! It was the pinnacle of a good animated movie, in my opinion. I disliked how they dropped the Wonder Woman and Superman romance, especially since they broke up offscreen, but everything else was peak fiction; the drama, Clark's parents, the action, Batman, Cat Grant, Doomsday, Damian's cameo, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, the animation, the music, the editing, and the stakes. Superman effing dies in this movie, and it's so dramatic, sad, traumatic, and impactful. In BvS, SPOILERS for Batman v Superman, Superman also dies and in that movie it was really impactful, sad, traumatic, and dramatic as well, but with this movie I cried when Supes died, and in BvS I got close to crying, but didn't. Not saying this movie is better or handled anything better than BvS, I just wanted to share that. I suggest watching this movie and Reign of the Supermen back to back, or order the extended edition with both movies. I loved this movie and I will be remembering it for some time now. Btw, I also loved BvS. Anyway, I highly recommend all three of those movies.
I have no words. It was really great! I loved the music, the fights, the suspense, the villains, and the "heroes".
I will keep it short this time around. I love Harley Quinn and she was pretty funny in this. Floyd was badass; I loved him. Bronze Tiger was also badass; I liked him. I liked Killer Frost. I liked Copperhead. I disliked Waller, but that is expected. Sam Liu is a great director and I really think he knocked it out of the park in this movie. Alan Burnett is a great writer and I also think he did an amazing job with the movie, mainly the story and themes. I really liked this one and believe that any DC fan looking for an R-rated movie to watch should watch this one.
