I
finally got around to watching Justice League Gods And Monsters and I
didn't enjoy it all that much. I had watched the shorts and got the
same feeling I did when watching the movie which was I felt like
there had been an entire series that I somehow had no idea about. It
is a very different take on the DC Universe which could easily work
if there had been individual films about each of the characters. As
it is, each was told through flashbacks that should have been at the
beginning of the movie and gone from there.
In
this version Superman is the son of General Zod but on Earth after
crashing as a baby is found by a Mexican couple who name him Hernan
Guerra. He's a dick but effective. Batman is not Bruce Wayne but
instead Kirk Langstrom who is normally Man-Bat. He was sick, took an
injection, became a vampire. Its silly. And Wonder Woman is a New God
named Bekka whose husband Orion was slaughtered and she tapped out and
came to Earth. Its weak.
This
had great everything but story. The art, animation, and tone were
good but I just couldn't care about any of the characters because
they were just odd versions of what I was used to. Even with the help
of the short films I wasn't all that into this. DC is normally really
good for their animated films but this was one of their rare missteps
they have every year or so.
