“Iu0026#39;m not a massive fan of comic books but I have found myself reading more of those considered u0026quot;classicsu0026quot; as I have had more access to them than before and it has made me more interested in the genre. This has also led to occasionally checking out some of the animated films featuring the characters and brought me to this film. I donu0026#39;t think Iu0026#39;ve read much featuring the Justice League together as an entity and when I started watching I was a little bit put off that it included characters that I didnu0026#39;t particularly care for (mostly, in fairness, because Iu0026#39;ve never given them much of a chance, donu0026#39;t know them or have decided that based on rubbish film versions of them).u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOnce it got going though the film was actually pretty enjoyable. It spread the load across all the characters, giving each enough action and time to fill but not too much to overload anyone or make any of them stand out as the lead. The plot is relatively straightforward but it does produce plenty of events and action and I found it pretty entertaining for what it was. The animation is colorful and accessible – personally I prefer it darker and with more menace, but again it worked for what it was. The voice cast are strong throughout – Conroy as ever but I really enjoyed Fillion, Lumby, Rosenbaum, Black, Blackthorne and many others in there, not only are they good nods to other things but they are good here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is still an animated superhero film though and as such it is bright, full of action and fairly simple in terms of plotting and delivery; it does work though and I found it entertaining and enjoyable throughout the short running time.”
