DC hits it out of the park with this one!

Now THIS is how DC is going to put Marvel's animated movies to shame. It blows their previous release, Superman: Doomsday, completely away! I was only able to read Vol. 1 out of the two trades released from the DC comic series, and the trade was very good. The movie glazed over several plot points in the interest of time but what we have left is 75 minutes of heart-felt story that takes our favorite DC characters and adds new dimensions to them. At it's heart, New Frontier is mainly Hal Jordan's story. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all play their roles but I think Hal is the core of this story. It tells the story of how the DC heroes reacted to the world giving in to the Red Scare during the beginning of the Cold War years and shows how they deal with it. The main antagonist of the story is a being called The Centre, an ancient creature that has been on Earth since before the dinosaurs and hates that humans have taken it over. We also get The Flash and Martian Manhunter heavily engrained in the story. And with the PG-13 rating, the violence is not held back. Plus, the DVD bonus features are great! I especially loved the history of the Justice League feature. I highly recommend this one.

Watch it before you show it to the kids

Loved the whole retro feel, but please watch this before you show it to the kids. It is PG13, and besides some mild language there is a very disturbing scene in the first 5 minutes I wasn't prepared for. It was tastefully done, but I really wished I had known. I thought the Green Lantern story line was great, but the last part felt like Origins from Justice Leage and wasn't really necessary. It was kind of rushed at the end, but it left me wanting more.

Justice League - The New Frontier

I didn't think I'd like this movie but I enjoyed it a lot. I was totally surprised by the people they had as voice actors and actresses for Batman and Wonder Woman, Lois Lane and Superman.

PS, if you like Justice League and Justice League Unlimited then you will enjoy this movie. The only problem I had with this movie is that it wasn't long enough. I give Justice League - The New Frontier a 5 out of 5.
