I have enjoyed comic books and adaptations for years and now that I have two sons myself we enjoy delving into the worlds of DC and Marvel every now and again and being entertained with Superheroes fighting villains in grand style. To this day even cartoon comic based movies are still quite entertaining and a good story and decent voice work can prove that you don’t need live actors and a two hundred million dollar budget to make an entertaining film. Justice League was one of my favorite all time collage of heroes and includes Superman who is my all time favorite superhero as the lead of a squad of superheroes bent on assisting the planet vs. the many villains that arise.

The original and core Justice League members are Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern and the Flash. The movie Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths tells the tale of a parallel Earth where Lex Luthor was the leader of this alternate world’s Justice League which was decimated by a crime syndicate lead by their worlds Superman equivalent known as Ultra Man. Each superhero has an equivalent who is just as powerful and when Lex Luthor escapes to our regular Justice League dimension to ask for help the Justice League cannot refuse to lend aid.

The story is not unique if you are a Sci-Fi and Comic Book fan, you would have seen variations of the story of parallel dimensions with each choice leading to a new dimension being created. It is however entertaining and for most of the comic book movies lately has less violence and blood than some of the other films like Hulk Planet.

If you are a DC Comic book fan or enjoy watching superhero flicks, then Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths will keep you engaged. James Woods plays the voice of Owl Man the evil equivalent of batman who is hell bent on destroying all life as we know it. William Baldwin does a good job as the dark voice of Batman, with Mark Harmon playing the voice of Superman.

The creative story and engagement of the characters was enjoyable and I thought this movie was one of the better recent Warner Bros DC Comic based movies. Dragon Blogger gives Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths 3.5 out of 5 stars.

With all the super hero movies coming out, I never thought to think about the justice league. Why haven't they made a live-action film adaptation of it yet? I think it would be a box office smash, considering the hype around heroes in the box office lately!

I loved the justice league series on cartoon network and the movie. I worship superheroes and justice league is of my type.

I'm with you. DC has done a great job recently with their animated movie series. Great stories if you are a comic book fan or not! My son is 10, but he doesn't like the DC movie so much. I watch them by myself. Oh the irony.

That is ironic, I was watching the full Justice League cartoons with my son back when he was 4, we made a nightly ritual of watching all the Seasons from Justice League to Justice League Unlimited.

I wish there were more animations on the justice League. DC is doing much better than it was with its animations over the past decade. The story is simple with a touch of complexity and the moral is made clear enough that even my 5 year understood. The depiction of alternate Earths can lead to bigger expansion in the near future. Overall I would recommend this to other parents for their children .

I do feel like I might have enjoyed the movie better did I not suffer from a lack of familiarity with DC's characters. I don't think I could quite appreciate the similarities/differences between the characters of the two Earths.All in all I would say that the movie is definitely worth watching, even if you don't happen to know too much about DC.

I am a big fan of the Justice League and always have been. I remember even watching it in High-school when it first came out. It is kinda funny how they can make a good movie without a 200 million dollar budget!
