I'm not the biggest fan of the Tomorrowverse saga, but each film that's come out thus far has been relatively decent. Until Warworld. Just like that film, is this a long episode or an actual movie? Personally, I like long story arcs that continues across separate entries, but this continuation can't be so much of the focus that it hurts the individual film itself. While parts one, two and eventually three are in the actual title, each release needs to be able to stand on its own. They failed at that here.

The entire thing kind of drags. While the parts containing Kara, Psycho Pirate and the Monitor are interesting, the way these events are put together hinders momentum. That, along with the monotonous color palette combines to create a sense of meandering and stagnation. At one point I actually paused the film just to see how much of it was left, something I never do for any film worth watching and the first time I've done so for a DC animated one. By the time the lukewarm cliffhanger hits, you simply feel nothing about it.

There have been a lot of criticism about the art style for Tomorrowverse, and while I can confidently say style is subjective and not indicative of true quality, some of the scenes in this film and the ones prior appear to have been rather hastily or even lazily done. A fight happening in the background put there with the absolute minimum effort because, who's going to stare at that? Or someone wiping their face simply with a hand motion sans any of the facial mannerisms to match. Things like this scream budget, effort, or time issues and it absolutely hurts the final product.

I love DC Comics and the animated films/series that have come from them, but this film and a few before it have been disappointing. Even if part three turns out to be amazing, it won't save this one nor justify the time spent to get there.

I gave "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" a go after not really enjoying the first. To be honest, I was hoping for a rebound because I want to like the concept. About ten minutes in, I started wishing that I hadn't turned it on. Stubbornly, I persisted but I'm done now. Won't bother with the third one. A great cast of voices (including Jensen Ackles and Darren Criss) are not given all that much to work with, unfortunately. Like with the first instalment, the plot is disjointed and convoluted, and although it features a lot of great DC characters, they really don't have all that much to do. A huge missed opportunity.

Where to start.... the continuity and flow of movie/episode was all over the place. The first movie left no real impression and this followed on from. It places focus on characters individually and not as a collective. I don't know what to call this, it doesn't feel like a movie as such more so stints and pieces of different characters trying to achieve the same goal and fighting the same enemy. Hard to believe Flash is so fast he missed Charles. Really use to look forward to DC movies, they had so much good stock but it's just slowly got worse and worse as they've aged. I know DC has always had a serious tone to it, which is what I've enjoy from DC but this seemed more flat above anything else.

Now the first part of the movie is great. Kara, Psycho Pirate, Harbinger, Monitor were essential to the Crisis Saga. It is great to see them fleshed out in this reimagination. The new harbinger twist is great and connects the story better than the original version.

Then as the movie progresses it gets mired in the shadow demon arc in a bad way. Instead of focusing on telling a good story and trusting in it, you notice how DC falls back to it's safe space, pandering to its base by fanservicing popular characters like the Batfamily and Wonder Woman despite their irrelevance at the point in the story. An endless boring fightscene is only rarely interrupted for plot progression. Now strategically, DC probably know what they are doing. They know their fanbase well and if Batman is here they will come. But from a storytelling perspective and for the quality of the movie, it is a terrible decision.

Also, the animation quality needs to step into this millenia.

What a disaster.... DC animation used to be the gold standard for superhero content but now it's a mere shadow of its former self. The storytelling is a convoluted mess that fails to respect its characters or the audience's time; it's unbelievable this concept got a 3 movie deal. Most of the Bat Family gets key jangled in front of you but they all come across as emotionally inept, constantly bickering during the most crucial moments of a multiversal crisis. Jensen Ackles himself delivers yet another lackluster performance. I honestly have no idea how he could sound so bored voicing Batman. Doesn't matter if it's a voice actor like Keven Conroy or a film actor like Christian Bale, they had different tones for different scenes. Ackles never diverts his pitch from sounding mildly annoyed. Unfortunately the animation itself also took a significant downgrade since their previous iteration with Jason O'Mara. It's difficult to see the characters and world you grew up loving look so bland and uninspired. Moreover when theoretically they could do absolutely anything with these characters within the multiverse concept. With everyone upping their animation game (Into the Spiderverse, TMNT, Arcane, X-Men97, Cyberpunk, etc), it's very concerning to see DC diving head first in the wrong direction.

I enjoyed this one a lot, but my main issue with it is my main issue with the comic it's based on and that is that it spends too much time with characters i dont really care about. Their stories are definitely interesting and hugely important to the story but i really dont get why so much of Psycho Pirates entire life is explored just to explain his motivation as a villain, it felt like overkill. I also was bummed that the resolution for the biggest cliff hanger of the first movie is being kept for the third installment (at least i hope it will be there), especially since it involves the Flash who drove the first movies plot and was only mentioned in this one maybe twice. Other than that i really enjoyed the movie. So far this trilogy has been some of the best of the rebooted DCAU especially since it is building towards being rebooted again. Because i have not liked nearly enough of this new one, and the old one was incredibly good (for the most part). I also love any DC project that includes Matt Ryan as John Constantine...there will never be a better Constantine than him.

This sequel significantly surpasses its predecessor by delving into the intricate stories of various characters, elucidating their backgrounds and motivations and it doesn feel like wasted time, as each character and their unique powers play integral roles throughout the film. However the execution of certain pivotal moments, particularly the deaths, lacks the cinematic flair one might expect and impact Additionally, the animation is not the best thing ever.

Nevertheless, the interpersonal dynamics among the characters remain engaging. Their conflicts are portrayed with authenticity, avoiding the trap of feeling contrived or unrealistic. The only notable drawback lies in the character of the monitor, whose portrayal, while consistent with the film's overarching concept, leaves something to be desired in terms of fully realizing his potential.

I expected something much better but it didn't happen. The movie felt like filler due to the really unnecessary flashbacks, another problem was the amount of characters irrelevant to the story and other characters that weren't used like Batman. The CW version of Crisis on Infinite Earths was better done than this second part. The first part was very entertaining and balanced, unlike the second part which was just disappointing and boring. The second part would have been good if it had a story similar to that of the first part and a much better fight and outcome than what we saw in this second part. In conclusion, it was very disappointing that they did not develop this second part well and put so much filler with very unnecessary things, final opinion: even the fight at the end is extremely boring.

Alright, well after a bland first part of "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths", I have to say that I wasn't really harboring much of any grand expectations to the follow-up DC animated movie titled "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two". But still, I opted to watch it, since I had the chance and had already just watched part one back to back with this sequel.

And it sort of amazes me that a single writer for part two managed to put together a more coherent and entertaining script and storyline in comparison to what three writers did for part one. So thumbs up to writer James Krieg for accomplishing to lift up this event of animated movies.

"Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" felt more complete and entertaining than what part one did. And it actually felt like this could very well function as a stand-alone movie, not requiring you to have sat through part one prior to watching part two. While having watched part one definitely gave a bigger insight into what was transpiring on the screen, it just felt like it wouldn't leave you in the dark if you hadn't watched part one and then sat down to watch part two.

With "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" being an animated superhero movie, then having a good voice acting ensemble was important. And just like in part one, they definitely had a good ensemble of talented voice actors and actresses to bring out the character's voices on the screen.

The art style and animation in "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" was good. And if you enjoyed the art style and animation in part one, you will also like it here in part two.

"Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" was definitely a more wholesome and enjoyable viewing experience for me, and I have to admit that I found "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" to be a more enjoyable story to sit through.

My rating of director Jeff Wamester's 2024 DC animated movie "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Just 90 minutes of continuously boring and incompetent writing. It's true when reviewers state that spoilers can't be posted because nothing actually happens to be spoiled.

Just one of the many examples of the incompetence in the writing is Superman needs Supergirl's help to simply blow out a fire while he needs to just weld one wire connection to fix the problem. When he can move at the speed of The Flash. A task that could have been completed by him in less time than it took him to say "Ok, Kara. Hit it." The 90 minutes are just full of shamefully written scenes like these by James Krieg.

It's absolutely inconceivable why this "project" requires a 3 movie set. Let alone got the production of just 1 movie approved.

Shame on you, Krieg, for accepting a paycheck for this stuff. 3 out of 10 is being generous.

Movie Rating System - Rewatchability:

10 - Instant Replay: This is the kind of movie I'd gladly watch again soon. It might not be a masterpiece, but it's entertaining and holds up well, making it worth revisiting.

7 - Hold For Later: It's a solid film that I'd enjoy rewatching someday, though not right away. It's enjoyable and stands the test of time, even if it's not groundbreaking.

4 - One and Done: This could be an amazing movie, but it's best experienced just once. Its impact might come from surprises or emotional weight that don't hold up on repeat viewings, so I'm fine leaving it as that single experience.

1 - Regret Watching: This one I wish I hadn't watched. Once was too much, give me a Neuralyzer stat!

For me, a "10" isn't just about being a brilliant movie-it's about having that lasting appeal. Some films are incredible for a single viewing, but I wouldn't call them "the best" if I never want to watch them again.

Review: I'm torn with rating this trilogy with a 4 or 7, it's good enough that I'm happy never watching it again, but if someone wanted to watch it again with me, I'm not opposed to the idea. And while I'm not eager to see the second one, the first and third help make it more tolerable, for sure.

Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Two" falls short of expectations, straying far from its source material and struggling with pacing and coherence. While the animation quality is adequate, the film fails to capture the essence of the beloved comic storyline.

One of the few bright spots is the innovative reimagining of Supergirl as Harbinger, which adds an interesting twist to the narrative. However, this creative decision isn't enough to salvage the overall experience.

The movie's biggest flaw lies in its confusing narrative structure. Viewers are left disoriented, unable to discern which Earth the characters are on at any given moment. This lack of clarity is exacerbated by the apparent emptiness of these worlds, failing to convey any real sense of danger or urgency to the multiverse-spanning crisis.

Pacing issues plague the film, with an excessive focus on Psycho Pirate's backstory that feels unnecessary and detracts from the main plot. The editing does the story no favors, further muddling an already convoluted narrative.

For fans of the original comic, this adaptation may prove disappointing. The film's departure from the source material is so significant that it's difficult to recognize the beloved story within this interpretation.

Ultimately, "Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths, Part Two" feels like a missed opportunity. Perhaps a future edit combining all three parts of this series, significantly trimmed down, could result in a more cohesive and engaging experience. As it stands, however, this installment fails to do justice to its epic source material.

Rating: 3/10 stars.

For as long as i can remember DC animate movies were great. But these last 4 0r 5 cartoon movies not met expectation. They are no longer entertaining or fun. This feels like it wants to be smart and edgy but leaves me feeling like its outdated. Tomorrowverse has not been putting out the same way DCAMU. What DCAMU does better is story telling! It engages pulls fans in without trying to hard and is not all over the place. Some of the way Tomorrowverse seems like its try to force character development down your throat and is so boring. These films will not reach the younger generation because it has to compete not just with Marvel but Anime in it self. And someone who watches both, i can not recommend this anyone i know. These last two Infinite Earths movie were terrible. The only i can see DC animation movies being interesting again is start over and let DCAMU do there thing because they were headed in a good direction before all lose all interest.

I didnt read these comic books, so now I am enjoying watching these stories, and I'd say they are very cool movies.

I enjoy the plot twists and I always loved this specific animation style. Don't know the name of it but it is my favourite.

I absolutely love all the DC animated movies and I think I may have actually watch all of them.

This movie I was confused on the connection with the previous part for at least the first half, but then I understtod why it was made this way.

It is difficult to write reviews, but I really liked this movie, and can't wait for the next part already.

DC is delivering a continuous magnificent animations!

Thank you.

I swear there is nothing to spoil in that movie because nothing happen in 1h30. First movie was really a mess this one can't be a mess because it has no direction.

You watch splitted scenes of some earths and you have no idea which earth you are on because the movie doesn't event bother to display a message "Earth 2" or something.

You have to understand you are on a different earth by yourself if you are on a different earth.

Again, there is no story, nothing is happening except some useless talk and forgettable fights. The DCAMU was much better even it wasn't the best of its genre at least we had something decent.

But here, the movie is just an excuse to justify 3 parts movie where we could have scrapped this movie into 15 min scene and have 2 parts movie well even just one movie.

Yeah this wasn't actually good but it was better than part 1 but that's not hard to do. The animation is still an odd choice. With all the amazing animation in DC animations history and this is what they went with to tell their Arguably largest story arc. Or was it simply down to budget.

The worst part is the actress who is voicing Wonder Woman. I can't be sure but I think she was trying to copy Gal Gadot's accent but she comes across far more Russian than Israeli. I mean did she record her part and send it in? I can't imagine that production heard her take on Wonder Woman and thought it was good. Then again they chose the animators so clearly some people shouldn't have creative control.

The only thing this movie is doing is making wish I'd just watched Arrowverse Crisis crossover. It may not be perfect but compared to this it's the Citizen freaking Kane of comic book adaptations.

I have always had high praise for most DC animation, but this hard edge simple form drawing is such a step back from where the animation was just a couple years ago.

This storyline was cool enough, but the execution was poor. Storyline kept hoping around A LOT.

The characters just seemed to be really insignificant to the story, and could be traded out with generic nobodies. Literally there were only 3 characters whose powers were at least somewhat significant to the storyline, and 1 of them didn't really make an appearance in the movie.

Then in this movie you have a John Cena reference... this is just so bad.

The premise of Crisis Part 1 was intriguing enough to wait for this sequel, but I was mislead. Part 2 is dry, convoluted, disjointed and just plain subpar for DC. Disposal characters come and go. Storylines are hinted at and then left unfinished. Overstuffed and bloated theatrics that leaves the viewer starving for real substance. Such a disappointment as there was so much material to work with and work from. I stopped caring about plot points and character development within the first 30 minutes. I suffered through the entirety to make sure it didn't uptick in the final waning moments. Trust me. It just didn't stick the landing.

Part two of this epic trilogy continues to expand its outer layers of multiversal and cosmic plot to unimaginable levels. The story is so big, complex and vast that it becomes a little confusing for those who have not read the original story in the comics, however it is not impossible to follow, in a thread that even reveals the always welcome plot twists in a certain key part from the second half of the film. It's totally justifiable that the story is shown in three films, as it is a giant event.

Having made that clear, if you ask me, does it entertain? My answer is yes, as long as you have your eyes, ears, and mind glued to the screen at all times.

There are key characters, there are characters who do a good job of just supporting, there are characters who serve only to argue the magnitude of the plot. There are so many characters that some look like cardboard cutouts and others have so much development that you feel empathy for them. There are revelations that answer questions raised in the first film, but there are also others that will surely be answered in the third. The film itself is dark, mature, but perhaps lacks more emotion. It seems very good to me that as a viewer you feel that we are on the verge of an outcome that we have never seen before in these dozens of DC animated films. It is impossible not to have so many expectations for the last part that promises and compromises even its own existence.
