Justice League

Posted by JohnnyUtah Feb. 27, 2008 @ 7:29 PM EST

Has anybody else checked out this movie yet?

I ON DEMAND'ED it (for 4.99 RIP OFF) and I'm on the fence about it. Sure a warner bros. cartoon that opens with an artist blowing his brains out can't be that bad right?

It's based on an alternate take on how the JUSTICE LEAGUE orignally formed back in the 60s. Apparently, there's a lifeform that's named itself "the center" that's been here on earth for a millenia and is supremely irritated with the recent evolution of human beings.

Anyways, I hear the graphic novel was highly praised but this entire movie seems rushed just to fit in every character and make sure they get in their sweet little speech about humans working together and not fighting anymore.

Notable mentions:

The "villain" looks like Jurassic Park with tentacles. Don't make me elaborate - that's a perfect description already.
Superman is still a huge niave pussy
Batman looked ridiculous in the 1960s
The Flash is the fasted dickhole on the planet, but has major self confidence issues.
Martian Manhunter's "human form" looks even more ridiculous than batman.
Aquaman has terrible taste in undersea vehicles
Green Lantern is a womanizing jock with a really close male buddy - they're winking at each other the entire god damn movie.
Wonder Woman is a HUGE "C"

thanks for chiming in PEZZO


Feb. 27, 2008 | 7:31 PM Tystarr says:

thats it? I want to know how horrible it was before I download it. Cause this doesn't seem worthy of my hard earned cash. That last Superman movie was a letdown.

Feb. 27, 2008 | 7:32 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

I'm trying not to be hard on it, but it did seem rushed and awkward in many places.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 7:44 PM Tystarr says:

So in Newgrounds Fashion..What do you rate it? The only real bad thing I had to say about the last Superman movie was that ugly line on his face that I guess were suppose to be cheekbones and the actress who portrayed Lois lane.

Feb. 27, 2008 | 7:52 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

Superman actually looks way better in this one. The acting is generally better, the art direction is better...(mostly) I think every character is voiced by a completely new person. The only distracting one is batman..not because he's bad but its just so different from what we know.

I guess I'd give it a 3 out of 5... everything and everybody just seems under developed and rushed. If they tacked on an hour of exposition bet it could have been a far better movie.

but hey, maybe im way off.

It is warner bros.....They only make 7 good movies a year


Feb. 27, 2008 | 7:59 PM ImpendingRiot says:

Yeah, I was really enjoying Justice League for awhile on Cartoon Network, before they went and made it 'Justice League Unlimited'. I stopped watching Unlimited for similar reasons to what you said, there was just too many characters, and not enough singular development. I dunno, I just keep secretly hoping for something like the Batman animated series by Bruce Timm to return.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 8:00 PM PinballWizard976 says:

I really doubt that that will be any good at all.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 8:12 PM Dude4001 says:

How the FUCK did the Green Lantern turn black to whizzite?


Feb. 27, 2008 | 8:14 PM SoulMaster71 says:

Ah well. Not every movie can be a classic. There have to be those mediocre filler movies and total crapfests for the greatest movies to shine as bright as they do.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 8:19 PM Vndgl says:

Superman looks like a douche in the picture.
Where they trying to get some kind of 60's style or something? At least it's something creative/unique.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 8:55 PM ShortStackSutin says:

Oh Wonder Woman...ruining feminism one plot device at a time...blahblahblah i don't need to hurt you real bad just get in my rope blahblahblah
Sigh.

Best. Movie. Evar.

Was the green arrow in it? I love him in SMALLVILLE!


Feb. 27, 2008 | 10:43 PM Tystarr says:

Well I just watched it and I give "Justice League" 3.5 out of 5. The thing that definitely caught my attention in this movie is the amount of violence and social commentary. Soo with that being said, this wasn't directed to be the usual kids movie.This one was for the fans and it shows. It even included two of batman's old costumes and gave reason for why theres a robin. It was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. The villain wasn't really what you would expect, rather than it be one person or team it was an entity going against the entire mankind.
Just note, if you're expecting the Justice League from the series on TV its different but its not worse, just different. I advise y'all to check it out and I'm now going to leave JohnnyUtah's blog alone. Lol Peace

Feb. 28, 2008 | 6:35 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

it certainly had its fair share of violence, but i thought the "social commentary" was pretty clumsy. anyways i didnt turn it off so i guess it was entertaining enough.


Feb. 27, 2008 | 11:03 PM Sirkowski says:

There was too much material, too many supers. They tried to do too much and ended up doing not much at all in term of plot. But it was still entertaining.

Feb. 28, 2008 | 1:33 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

agreed

OWNED Warner Bros.
It's the O.P. curse in action, first you make someone so strong they seem invincible, then when you relize they've become too powerful, you dumb the shit out of them until their a shell of their former selves. Once you notice this, it's too late, your already making remake after remake, trying to clean the slate but only smearing even more of your fecies. It's a sad thing to see.
(I'm looking at you Superman and Sonic the Hedgehog, your both dead too me)


Feb. 28, 2008 | 12:17 AM Goat-Man says:

Haha. Look at superman. He looks like such a loser with his rosey red cheeks.
And correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought the green lantern was black....


Feb. 28, 2008 | 1:04 AM Ir0n-Ph0enix says:

I have seen most of the justice leagues team but not this before.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 2:49 AM mongoid says:

I stopped caring about WB super heroes since Static Shock and Batman Beyond. Stupid stupid stupid shows.... Nice to see that the WB is sticking to the trend.

It's all about the Venture Bros. now. Season 3 in July!!!

Feb. 28, 2008 | 6:34 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

haha Static Shock


Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:43 AM RabidSquirrelStudios says:

And here I was, thinking that Aquaman was a joke. That sounds pretty lame. 'Cept for the Wonder Woman part.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 10:23 AM ImpendingRiot says:

On a side note, as dumb as Batman Beyond was, I think the movie was really cool, if only for the neat little subplot they did with the Joker/Robin. Don't want to give anything away though.

Feb. 28, 2008 | 11:00 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

also, the season finale of..season 4 of justice league (i think) focuses all on pretty much wrapping up batman beyond...and it's really not bad.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 1:33 PM HellishShadow666 says:

the green lantern looks like hes trying to hide a boner...


Feb. 28, 2008 | 5:41 PM Hybrid-Of-Souls says:

Wonder Woman looks even more disturbing in the picture than how she acts in the comics.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 6:05 PM Kanadian-Keith says:

Robin is like half batmans height in the background. That's just wrong. For some reason I could see that ex wreslter Chyna play wonder woman if they ever had a really shitty version of it.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 6:25 PM Matt-Frozenfire says:

Great thing I have never really been a big fan of those guys :)

Also, now that we actually HAVE great cool effects for this kind of shit, Why can't we make decent Superhero vids?


Feb. 28, 2008 | 7:03 PM Lalo says:

wonder woman sure has some big boobs.


Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:22 PM voidshatter says:

DC < MARVEL < DARKHORSE

i've hated DC after watching the horrible "superman returns" i was the only person in the theater who could stand its stupidity to stay awake


Feb. 28, 2008 | 8:25 PM ZekeySpaceyLizard says:

wow voidshatter you're really an idiot.

the people who make the comics aren't the ones making the movies.

batmans a pedophile and there are no black superheros


Feb. 29, 2008 | 12:11 PM Randstein says:

Wonder woman doesnt have huge C, those are huge D!!!! or smaller E... why i think i know that? my girlfriend works in biggest underwear seller in austria called "Palmers" (search google if ya want to) and she teached me to find out the sizes with only watching :) pretty helpful sometimes ^-^ (betting with some guys in the bar is good to get free drinks xD )

Wonderwoman looks like 80-D or maybe even 80-E
and an Medium 36 for the panties :D

...yep...


Feb. 29, 2008 | 4:31 PM SupaPeeves says:

looks gay.


Feb. 29, 2008 | 4:32 PM SupaPeeves says:

have you noticed, green lanturn is holding the latern on his dick? AHEMCOCKJOKEAHEM

Feb. 29, 2008 | 4:58 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

that IS suspect...


Feb. 29, 2008 | 5:47 PM emanhattan says:

HAHA! yeah, i remember. superman and batman were so gay. back in the 60s you walked out of your house in pajamas and they called you a hero!


Feb. 29, 2008 | 6:11 PM knightsofthecircle says:

It's one of those rare events where the newer version is WAY better than the classic. Plus, GL looks cooler in Justice League: Unlimited.


Feb. 29, 2008 | 10:04 PM chriswc30 says:

i use to watch the cartoon and i tried to get into to it but it was just so stupid at times i really like marvel better anyway. Also int he picture it DOES look like green lattern is trying to hide his boner with a lamp.

p.s aquaman sucks

lol static shock


Feb. 29, 2008 | 11:22 PM Nuke15 says:

This trailer may or may not make up for Batman looking ridiculous. (not the dark knight one, although that ones good too). It's basically the Animatrix but with Batman.

i will be purchasing that

Looks crappy D:


Mar. 1, 2008 | 3:50 PM test-object says:

I never liked Superman. He's a douchebag.
And Wonderwoman looks like a wrinkly old hag on that image.


Mar. 1, 2008 | 7:48 PM PoPJaY says:

what wonder woman looks mad creepy, and wasn't the green lantern black?
ehh I've never like the justice league anyway


Mar. 1, 2008 | 8:56 PM teserut says:

thats justice league for ya


Mar. 1, 2008 | 11:54 PM bizerkdrag0n says:

Too be completely off topic, I saw you created some Opie and Anthony flashes and was wondering, are you going to make one for their upcoming animation contest?

Mar. 3, 2008 | 7:31 AM JohnnyUtah responds:

i would if the contest was more than 10 days long..

i mean ten days for an entire minute of animation..that just doesnt work for me


Mar. 2, 2008 | 2:12 PM FlamingHiei says:

Its amazing when comics that used to seem cool make a movie and then suck. Just killed my childhood memories right thar.


Mar. 2, 2008 | 4:39 PM ransha says:

lol, wonder woman looks like a shemale


Mar. 3, 2008 | 7:35 PM YEAHmix says:

Looks good to laugh at.


Mar. 4, 2008 | 11:44 AM Firefoxrocks says:

ya, and the Atom can't shrink anyone for shit.


Mar. 4, 2008 | 5:22 PM BonJombo says:

I read the comic a while back, and it was really good. I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'd like to. At least, it looks pretty sweet.


Mar. 5, 2008 | 1:55 PM MarvinDaGreat says:

I haven't seen it but i could tell from the trailer it would be lame. The original green lantern was white but i prefer the black one instead. I liked static shoc and batman beyond.... so sue me lol. I always like when they would give unknown characters in the DC universe some shine.


Mar. 6, 2008 | 4:52 PM The-Swain says:

I get Martian Manhunter confused with Piccolo.

Apr. 3, 2008 | 12:54 PM JohnnyUtah responds:

NO DBZ JOKES ALLOWED SWAIN

i hate the fuckin show


Mar. 8, 2008 | 10:24 AM bizerkdrag0n says:

Didn't you hear? They're having a second contest the last a few months(I think it ends in May). They're making it this big festival type thing where they're gonna show case the top 20 best animations. You can use any bit you want also, I'm just letting you know cause I think it would be cool to have a Newgrounds guy win it



Mar. 30, 2008 | 12:35 AM LegendaryPope says:

I thought it was decent for a "we need to make money and quick" movie. I'd go 3/5 as well.

and Dude4001, the green lantern is not a single person. it is actually an intergalactic space group that combats evil. the green lantern in the Justice League is just Earth's rep. he was originally white, got too old, a black guy inherited, got killed, a white guy took over.
