It’s an entirely stand-alone Superman animated film. It focuses on the Brainiac but also it has a Supergirl arch starting in medias res. This is the strongets Brainiac i’ve seen so far. Usually he was just another space arse. He and his technology are so advances, he uses medieval weaponry. The art-style is more fresh […]
The new Superman film is the new entry into the DC Universe (2024) which is a half-reboot of DCEU. It officially started with Creature Commandos, because screw Blue Beetle movie that’s why. And i support that message. Despite being basically a reboot, and not having any continuity with anything before, this film starts in media […]
The first film is a pretentious dramatic low framerate CGI garbage. So, obviously, the sequel is a brainrot meme low framerate CGI garbage. Like, you have enka VHS karaoke sequence, you have Sailor Moon transformation, you have a 2D parody of Super Sentai \ Grendizer. But the worst part of the package is the absolute […]
When i first saw it exists i though, well that’s dumb. One thing is a crossover with an outdated property for kids, especially the one that’ve used the comedic iteration of DC. The other is a collaboration with fan made bad cartoon with the quality of writing on par with the most notorious web-comics. On […]
We are 6 (9-10) movies deep into the Tomorrowverse and it has less continuity than DCAMU. All of it is told out of order, and in separate realities. Like, this one is outright an anthology movie, that brings together Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and Martian Manhunter, but implies that all of them are from different […]
It’s a Tomorrowverse cartoon with its thick outlines and low framerate. But this time it is breaking new grounds. Not only all action scenes look like utter crap at 5 FPS the framerate is so low even static talking scenes look terrible. And the protagonist has a crappy 24/7 blush (and i never seen anyone […]
I expected this to be an introduction of Superboy and Robin into the tomorrowverse. But no, this is a stand-alone CGI cell-shaded cartoon. The art-style is not the end of the world, the kiddy story is tolerable, even the action cinematography is not unwatchable. But the animation is atrocious. It’s all jerky and choppy. 100 […]
Capeshit became so popular they finally started to bring to motion all the cold-war-era trash that was abandoned in the 90s. Like superhero pets. Instead of doing something schmaltzy and pointless or embarrassing and unfunny like Illumination’s Sing / Pets, the production team delivered an almost flawless modern ironic comedy picture pack-full of good jokes. […]
The title makes it look like it’s another time Teen Titans Go! invading another universe, but in fact it’s more like Teen Titans GO! See Space Jam. There is a separate and complete DC Super Hero Girls‘ TTG-style reboot‘s movie to which TTG is latched-on entirely superficially with only one minute of meaningful interaction between […]
sneeder cut I was afraid that this will be a dreary sneeder tosh, where a vacuous 45-minute long movie is stretched to 2 hours because of bad slo-mo, and maybe with an entirely unrelate cartoon on top of it. It is dreary, but it’s just a dumb messy action superhero film with nothing going for […]
After that opening i thought, “oh gee boy wouldn’t that be swell and nifty, to have a movie with the retro heroes (sans racism and sexism)”. And then the film just throws in a modern Flash. So in the end we just have another flashpoint, in more ways than one. The film has an unusual […]
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies showed a lot of promise, so i hoped they will fix the writing in this direct but unrelated sequel and it will be glorious. But alas — while the animation is fine, the writing here is terrible. Since the first film had Power Girl there surely must be the Supergirl too. But […]
A rather short animated film with an interesting art-style and some good dialogue. But it has real issues with Power Girl. She kinda has a cute design. For a damsel in distress. And she acts like one. All she does is nervous glances, look distraught and shift from foot to foot. When she acts she […]
The Spectre This short uses idiotic film damage artifacts. It’s about some crappy guy, who instead of demonstratively jailing people just kills them in edgy ways. If you didn’t notice before — he is not Spawn, he thinks he is a good guy. Jonah Hex A brutal animated short, which makes the character much more […]
So. This film pretends it’s yet another Superman origin story, yet it’s about the same as Spiderman: Homecoming — besides our main protagonist we also have Martian Manhunter, and besides Lex Luthor we also have Lobo and Parasite. The story takes place in the future, so not only we get pretty, clean sci-fi skylines of […]
You can’t fit three Lego-bills into one Lego-suitcase. New installment of Lego DC Comics Super Heroes more often engages Lego as a medium, and also has a fine story-line. It’s one of the best in this universe along with Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League. This film is even better than Shazam!: there’s […]
More like Justice League Grimdark. Instead of wizards fighting priests, this is an utter gorefest of a usual DCAMU film. After that beginning it’s hard to see how are they gonna clean the whole mess up. Well, i didn’t knew that this is the last film of this continuity. In the end it tied directly […]
A neutrally middle of the road mediocre crossover comics, which isn’t very fitting the common knowledge about Aliens and Predators. The allure of predators is their perceived unpredictability due to unfamiliarity with their own complex culture and society. Having them being dumb and petty backstabbers does make it a mediocre herding the cats story. Next, […]
Well, of course it’s filled with racist stereotypes. Of course russians speak only english with each other in fake wrong accent, instead of speaking native language, translated into english without accent. Of course it has wrong letters in wrong places. But it’s a nice cold war pulp what if scenario with the DCAMU-tier quality, and […]
Another DCAMU film, which is mostly centred on Batman. The overall story isn’t that strong, and while it is called Hush and tries to build him up, it’s more interested in the cat women bat men romance. Which consists of vigilantying montage and calling each other mentally unhealthy in turns, to justify break up. Focused […]
A grimdark edgy animated adaptation of The Dark Knight Returns ark, which takes super ugly, but very expressive Frank Miller art, cleans it up and incorporates it into film’s cinematography, achieving great results. The narrative heavily threads on symbolography plane. In this story old man Batman finally snaps, delivers a lot of what not very […]
An animated superhero action-drama film. It has distinct art-style of 2000s Justice League, which is considered to be a part of TAS continuity. Superman did even recognize the Fatal Five, but they underwent a significant redesign after their appearance in Justice League Unlimited. This continuity has grown with its audience, and this entry is really […]
It is a fine take on that particular ark, with nice story and plot, mixing western and weaboo cinematic narrative sensibilities in good proportions. Unlike the old one it doesn’t oversimplify all that to condense it into one feature-length film.
Another take on death of the superman, in that strange 2000s art-style. While it’s for kids and tries to be simple and tame, the fighting scenes have death toll to rival infamous Man of Steel. But to be fair, while they don’t show it on the screen, they are absolutely clear about what is Doomsday […]
Another CGI animaled comedy film in Lego DC Comics Super Heroes universe. It adds Martian Manhunter to the Justice League and kind of throws shade on methods of supposedly good guys the government. There is a new Green Lantern and if i didn’t miss some TV-show for this universe, the film doesn’t provide any reason […]
A usual Lego DC Comics CGI animated comedy film, with kind of a nice story to it. Assembling a bizarro team and make them heroes is a swell ark, though Justice League are being kind of jerks for not openly admitting their usefulness and not stating it directly to Bizarro League.
A short comedy film, showing how batman has joined the Justice League. Such hostility towards Superman places the film somewhere before the Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite chronologically.
They took cut-scenes from the Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and seamlessly arranged them into a standalone film. Outside of the beginning, downplaying a perfect joke for the sake of a poorly implemented structural trope, the editing is rather nice. Overall as a film it’s no worse than any of the Lego DC Comics […]
Another Lego DC comedy. It has two subplots, both handling the impostor syndrome. Once again they’ve managed to dig some obscure and goofy, but canonical stuff, like the hate-cat and space dolphins. Traditionally, it is mildly Lego and mostly features generic CGI. So mild that it even erased the holes in the legs of the […]
Another Lego DC movie, which doesn’t connect much to anything else. The Lego medium again is underused and most of the backgrounds are generic CGI. The story can be described as a kind of a take on flashpoint ark, but mostly it is just original comedy writing. Fate and Zatanna have a nice musical number. […]
Another nice cartoon in the DCAMU. This one is very peculiar, because they’ve moved “the first superman movie” here, in a post Justice League world, and mashed it with The Death of Superman ark. It has enough of drama and lot of action. You can say it’s much more all around watch than Batman v […]
An action comedy animated movie, which does actually use lego as a medium, but also is mostly made of the generic CGI backgrounds. Just like with the most of the lego stories — the writing is yet another comedic meta-fan-fiction with references. In this case to everything from the whole history of the DC universes […]
Moon Prism Power Make Up! Basically a Raven’s story. First time in the DCAMU the cinematography is noticeably worse. Half of the action is cut like modern post-action garbage — too much cuts too early, without any connect. The pacing is not great too — one second Robin hates everyone, the next he will die […]
The next instalment tells a story of how the Justice League got the Aquaman and is based on the Throne of Atlantis ark. Yep.
This movie was set up in the post-credits of the Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, but actually it is kind of a reboot or a prequel, because it tells the origin story of this Justice League. It’s peculiar just how much Justice League (2017) is similar to this story. Are they both take those bits […]
Well, this is what i was talking about. The bodycount in this film is rivalling the Age of Ultron ark. Though the writing here is pretty good overall. The animation is nice too, though the art-style is very strange. It mixes noticeably weeb Diana, Batman and some other characters, with bizarro grotesque square-jawed Aquaman, Superman […]
A pretty generic action comedy carton which doesn’t even use lego as a medium. It’s fascinating, that all comic universes made for my generation represent that edgy grimdark era of comics’ plots of my generation (The Death of Superman —> Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice \ Age of Ultron —> Avengers: Age of Ultron), […]
A grimdark animated movie filled with weeaboo-style magic battles. I’m not that familiar with DC Comics, but this rendition of the Constantine is more akin to Marvel’s Doctor Strange than to the Keanu’s version. He spams random magical spells and deals more with other magic users than esoteric heaven vs hell religious plane. It’s nice […]
Official russian translation. Минюст It’s a one fine grimdark CGI cartoon. It starts somewhat weak, with a scene cut so bad that it’s impossible to understand what is happening and why it is even mentioned later in the movie. But, despite it being a Zack Snyder film (or maybe even due to it being a […]
Official russian translation Продолжение Man of Steel с депрессивным убивающим ватманом и дико клёвым “неканоничным” Лютером. Простенько, но развлекательно.
“Ноланофикация” дошедшая до точки рифмования с новой трилогией Batman. В первоисточнике история супермена довольно простая, сфокусированная и наполненная незамысловатым символизмом, но из этого полноценный фильм не снять, поэтому все предыдущие экранизации концентрировались либо отдельно на молодости, либо отдельно на карьере супермена. Данный фильм отражает конкретный переход от, условно, Superboy до, собственно, Superman, поэтому историю значительно […]
