Justice League: The New Frontier - Film Review

Justicethon Day 1
Justice League: The New Frontier is based off of the comic series DC: The New Frontier. I have not read the comic so I'm only talking about the movie.

The the movie is set in the 1950's and even has the art style of the Golden age of comics. The film  is about the Justice League forming to take down this floating island, The Centre, though they don't really team up until around near the film's end.

It shows J'onn J'onzz before he became Martian Manhunter, as he spends a small portion of the movie disguised as a detective.

Hal Jordan is a Korean War pilot who gets shot down, then recruited for a mystery space program. He is soon contacted by a dying alien and given the Green Lantern ring.

The Flash finds himself struggling to continue doing his super-heroics without being forced to agree with the government, so he announces his intention to stop being a hero altogether on television.

Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman are pretty much the same as they normally are.
The film ends with a montage of the Justice League teaming up and even has JFK's New Frontier speech.

I thought this was one of DC's better animated films, I haven't seen a lot though, but some.  The film and comic are inspired by the Golden Age of Comics. One of the only complaints I have is that from what I've heard, the comic is six issues and this film is only 75 minutes, I haven't read the comic so I don't know what's missing.

This is a pretty good film you should check out if you're a DC fan. Come back tomorrow for my review of Justice League War.

8/10
