Justice League vs the Fatal Five - Movie Review

DC Animated Movies

Historically, DC animated movies have been some of the best story telling for their heroes. These movies are direct to disc and digital release. Most of this I attribute to Bruce Timm as producer and amazing voice talents like Kevin Conroy who has done the voice of Batman for decades. I will typically recommend these DC animated movies as a must see or own.

Movie Review

If you watch the trailer, none of this should be a spoiler for you. This movie is a cross over with our current time's Justice League and 31st century Legion of Super-Heroes. I very much enjoyed hearing voices of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman from the Justice League animated TV series. This was one of the most positive aspects of this movie. 

Jessica Cruz is the new Green Lantern who has an interesting back story. I prefer Hal Jordan as the Green Lantern but it would not make sense with this story. The movie had all the pieces that I should enjoy for a Justice League movie but I found myself missing something that I wish I could articulate. Overall, I am not disappointed in adding this movie to my collection and will enjoy watching it again. I would say this is a good watch but not necessarily a required purchase for your digital library.

Rating

I would give this a minimum of SD rating. The DC animated movies can usually be found on Black Friday for less than $10 with disc and digital. I picked the UHD digital copy on iTunes for $10.

The Flash - Movie Review

 Surprise Ticket I recently purchased The Doom That Came To Gotham and Justice League x RWBY animated movies that were on sale at Vudu this week.  I received a bonus of $8 off to go see The Flash movie from each movie.  So both my brother and I utilized the discounts for a rare trip to the movies.  Of the two animated movies I purchased, I highly recommend the Justice League x RWBY crossover movie even though it is Part 1 and Part 2 does not currently have a release date yet. Review While The Flash movie was decent, positive reviewers of the movie have obviously not seen The Flash TV series that just completed its run on The CW network.  The story in the movie and the special effects were much better in the TV series than in this movie.  Obviously, TV series has a longer time to tell a story.  Some of the movie’s special effects looked like they were from a couple of decades ago.  While this was only mildly distracting from the movie, it is defini...

Disney+ On Disc

  Change Is Coming Recently Disney+ has been cancelling content like the Willow series among other content on their service. This has given me pause as to what will happen to this content if you want to watch it. Series like the Mandalorian and the final season of Clone Wars were on available through the streaming service. The new idea that this content might eventually be removed from the service to never be seen again was a real possibility. Now we have some hope. I recently received an emailed from Marvel Entertainment. Generally, I would take a quick look and discard it but this one I had to look into more. The link pointed towards Best Buy or Walmart to preorder but I did find Loki Season 1 and WandaVision Season 1 available on Amazon. My hopes started to get raised. So with some quick searches, I did find in fact the Mandalorian Season 1 and 2 will be released on disc later this year. Here are the release dates per the email and what I found at the retailers. Loki - September...

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes - Movie Review

  New vs Old The original 1968 started a series of five movies the last being Battle for the Planet of the Apes . The current series started with the 2011 Rise of the Planet of the Apes  with Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  the fourth in the series. While similar in concept, I do not anticipate Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes  to be the last in this new series. The original series focused on what I consider the human’s side of the story. The current series focuses on the ape’s side of the story. Based on the ending, I suspect there will be another movie to come. Review You care for the characters and the story moves at a good pace. You hardly notice it is nearly a 2.5 hour movie. You can watch the movie for simply the entertainment or you can find a message about coexisting. There are several surprises in the movie which is something I look forward to since I have seen way too many movies. I appreciate the cinematography in this film as way too many movies get t...
