Injustice

A rushed and forced adaption of excellent source material. WB continues to use a comic book appearing 2 dimension animation style that detracts from the movie. Voice acting is ok. However, voice actor selection was poor for some characters. It is watchable but didn't meet expectations.

They couldn't do more injustice to this amazing story, it feels rushed, kills off some of the most important characters in the original injustice story, and overall it seems like they didn't care that much, i think even the animation style doesn't work very well with this characters. Totally disappointing.

I liked the movie... but everything felt rushin and pushy... this should have been a 3 hours movie.. why wasting such a good material like this?

Empty.

Normally I am not a fan of the 'what if' takes on already established comic characters, and I didn't know what the 2021 DC animated feature "Injustice" was one such story. But still, I opted to sit down to watch it with my son, as he enjoys superheroes. Whereas I can watch movies with superheroes, but it is not my first choice, as I find superheroes a bit bland.

Writers Ernie Altbacker and Tom Taylor actually managed to put together an entertaining storyline. Sure, it was generic in terms of something like this has been seen and done before, many times over. But the storyline told in "Injustice" actually proved interesting given the deaths of villains and superheroes alike, as well as the sheer amount of violence and fighting that took place.

The art style in "Injustice" was good and fluid, and that definitely added to the overall enjoyment of the whole thing. There was a slight touch of good old 1980s cartoon over it, while it managed to be fresh and modern, without it succumbing into a child-like art style, such as seen in the "Teen Titans Go" and such.

With "Injustice" being an animated feature, then having a good voice acting ensemble is alpha and omega. And luckily they had a great ensemble put together for performing the voices for this animated movie. I didn't recognize a single voice though, and having looked through the cast list after the movie ended, I wasn't really familiar with a single performer, for better or worse.

"Injustice" actually turned out to be a nice surprise, and certainly one of the more enjoyable of DC animated movies, if you ask me. I liked the dark and gritty feel it had, the violence and mayhem, and the fact that it was aimed at an adult audience.

My rating of "Injustice" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Injustice is a mostly faithful adaptation that starts really strong but then rushes through the plot of the game and graphic novel and makes some bafflingly dumb decisions and completely wastes a few characters (especially Flash).

However, it's still a fun, emotional and enjoyable adaptation overall with great and surprisingly violent action scenes, good humour and some satisfying callbacks to the game. A few of the changes do actually improve the original narrative.

Justin Hartley, Anson Mount and Janet Varney are all great and Gillian Jacobs, Laura Bailey and Zach Callison are all really good. The animation style is really good and the music by Robert J. Kral and Matt Peters' direction are both good.
