Justice League Dark

Justice League Dark has a group of really nice characters. Who doesn't love Zatanna, Deadman, or John Constantine? In this film, they meet both Swamp Thing and the classic Justice League, and they are a joy to behold. I'm not sure if it's material for a feature film, but I'll take cartoons with open arms.

A slightly better average comic book animated film that shows that with a bit of darkness added, it's actually watchable. Sure, it's quite light-hearted, but these Dark characters are overall so interesting that they deserve more space than, say, Superman. But it makes me dislike Man of Steel. (27.03.2017)

The combination of Jay Oliva and the Justice League initially got me excited, but I wasn’t as thrilled with the outcome. If you’re expecting a lot of collaboration with the League, you won’t get much, though Batman does offer a few good lines from his repertoire. The beginning surprised me with its dark tone, so I expected the rest of the film to follow suit. However, the film soon abandoned its darker side. I expected more from Constantine; his comic book character is great, and I enjoy the film with Reeves and the subsequent series with Ryan, but here the character’s potential seemed underutilized. Some situations felt over the top, and the film gradually turned into a magical spectacle. On the plus side, the action scenes were enjoyable, and Batman’s presence helped salvage the film. The plot was also tolerable, though the ending seemed poorly crafted. Quite a letdown overall. I give it 61%. (28.12.2017)
