WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Mehran M I'm so confused i don't even know how to rate this movie! If it was about Suckerman, Superfly and Sharpwoman, I would certainly rate it as a stand-alone movie, though the plot suggests nothing new (which is as always the ultimate goal for the villains, Mind Control). But seriously?!! Why giving the same heroes different characteristics, different backgrounds?? It's unforgivable. Imagine a movie in which James Bond jumps around like lunatics just like what Jim Carrey did in Mask when he was dodging bullets...! They created Batman for people, so he's not theirs anymore to mess with. Why not creating new heroes?! Why changing the past? Why ruining what has been carefully built over years?! Dr. Kirk Langstrom as a purehearted scientist with Micheal C-Hall's perfect voice is completely fantastic and totally acceptable. A new hero is introduced! but he is not and can never be THE Batman. with all these positive reviews one may wonder if they are purposefully supporting the writers of new generation in their attempt to rewrite history, present new ideals and change the way great people are already known!

fcabanski Superman is the son of migrants. His past, full of being mistreated, shapes his character.LOL How are modern migrants, the illegal immigrants, treated in America? They're allowed to break laws, in return for which they receive benefits and support from hard working legals and citizens.This turns all sorts of western culture ideals upside down. Good is bad, bad is good. That sort of moral equivalency makes for a rotten back drop.Throughout the story I wanted to see how the real Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman would deal with this situation: framed for crimes they didn't commit.PC Superman wasn't necessary for that.

Cheese Hoven Anyone watching the Justice League animated movies in order: The New Frontier, Crisis On Two Earths, Doom, Flashpoint, and War, will notice that they have become darker and more nihilistic one after another. Now we arrive at Gods and Monsters, the depressing continuation of this trend.Of course, they are all "anti-heroes" now, to put it kindly, although a combination of violent vigilantes and fascist army is probably closer to the truth. Batman's a vampire (how imaginative! A vampire bat!), and embarrassingly Superman (sporting a goatee which I guess is meant to make him look badass?) is a Mexican illegal immigrant, a move obviously intended to make a politically correct point, although not really exploited here. Truth Justice and the Mexican way ! Yay! Oh and his real father is the murderous General Zod.Even worse is the new sword-carrying Wonder Woman. Her family has been massacred by Highfather, who in the real DC universe is the embodiment of goodness, while Darkseid, who Highfather betrays here, is supposed to be the embodiment of evil. (Hence the name)Poor old Jack Kirby must be rolling over in his grave to see his creations being so abused. He understood the difference between good and evil, light and dark, something that modern writers (themselves gone over to the dark side?) no longer see.So by what perversion of the word 'Justice' can this trio of murderous misfits call themselves the 'Justice League'? I refuse to call these impostors by their assumed superhero names, since they are NOT the beloved characters they purport to be or anything close, so I dub them Sword Woman, Goatee Man and Vampire-Batman.This morally inverted universe could be interesting if there was some realisation at some point by the characters that they were actually the bad guys and see them turn it around. Now That could have been thrilling. The problem is that we are supposed to be on their side from the start and see their personality flaws (ie that they are all bloodthirsty killers) as badass.The film is basically a series of massacres, each more brutal than the last. Leaving aside the destruction of Krypton, massacre #1 is the "Justice League" wiping out a terrorist organisation. At least 50 people are horrifically killed by the JL, when they could just as easily have been captured by this super-powered trio. Some are hacked to death by Sword Woman, some crushed to death thanks to Goatee Man's heat vision (which he uses indiscriminately) and one has his blood sucked by Vampire-Batman. Nice. But that's OK its alright since they are "terrorists" and therefore deserve to be summarily executed by our heroes.A token protest by ordinary people is then shown as well as a critical report by Lois Lane, but this legitimate concern is depicted as a bunch of small-mindedness.Massacre #2 is of a group of scientists, some beloved characters in the comic world. Oh and a kid who just happens to be a young version of Cyborg. Again the film goes out of its way to make this as sadistic as possible.Massacre #3 is the aforementioned backstory of Sword Woman.Massacre #4 is a continuation of the massacre of scientists, this time inside Magnus's house. The violence is even more graphic with one poor victim being literally ripped in two. Note that our heroes were not able to save one person.At this point I was pretty stunned but was still expecting some big turnaround to come. This, after all, has received some 5/5 reviews.Massacre #5 is when Goatee Man and Sword Woman decide "heroically" not to give up but instead fight the army. To be fair, this sequence is less graphic than the earlier ones; we don't actually see any soldiers being killed when their tanks and helicopters are smashed by our heroes. Maybe these all were drones. But I guess showing soldiers dying would make the shallow ending less palatable.Then comes an almost literal Deus-ex-machina. Lex Luthor (channeling his inner Stephen Hawking) appears out of thin air and explains to the JL what's happening and they go and fix the "villain".Cue general rejoicing. Lois Lane recants her former opinions. The JL are now exonerated. So what if they have killed dozens of soldiers unnecessarily in addition to over 50 "terrorists" and failed to save a single scientist? They saved the world! Oh, from a threat powered by Goatee Man's rocket ship and protected by their "Justice" tower's force field. But nevermind, that's not anything to worry about.Terrible. But the only question is, how on earth has this dreck gotten some many good reviews?

JoeB131 When characters are actually mortal.So we have a very different take on the Big Three of DC. Superman is the son of General Zod raised by migrant farmers, Batman is a vampiric form of Dr. Kirk Langstrom (AKA the Man Bat) and Wonder Woman is resident of New Genesis who fled to Earth after her family wiped out Apokolips. These heroes have no compunctions about killing the bad guys.So someone is using killer robots to murder scientists who would normally be enjoying careers as super heroes or villains in the regular DC Universe. The use of Powers and their arrogant nature makes the Alt-Justice League the obvious suspects.Nice flashbacks of how the characters came to be, very well told.The twist ending mostly works, and it is nice to see alternate takes on the characters.
