Justice League: The New Frontier



2008-Animated

The trend that is sweeping Hollywood by storm is the Superhero genre. Everything from Batman, Spiderman, and even lesser ones like Hellboy gets love in the movie world due to its 'easy' guaranteed fanbase, and automatic buzz. But among all the live action big budget films, to most, they hold nothing compaired to the animated series/movies. 'Batman Mask of the Phantasm' far better than the older Batman movies, 'Superman Doomsday' better than Superman Returns, the list goes on and on.

Synopsis:

Its the 1950s and the cold war is underway. Everyone is terrified of the threat of nuclear war, and the sudden rush of the superhuman community is causing civil unrest. Some Heros registered but most retired and or continued withought support from thier government, nor other fellow commrads. A misterious creature known only as the Center feels it is his duty to wipe out mankind do to it being the Earths Leaches. The Heros in hiding and unawaire of the impending doom ahead of them, can they unite and creat a strong force in time?

All-in-All:

I must say that this film has got to be the greatest Superhero Film Ever! It has fan service (not the anime kind you perv) and many cameo apperences of heros. But the big shocker is the focus and narratives of the film itself, not by the 'Big 3' but by other A-listers but always lost in the shadows. A must watch for those of you that want to see an authentic superhero film withought the 'Kiddie' crap that most expect in this genre.

Riko's Rating: A+
