Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Justice League: Doom has one of the best storylines of any DC animated movie I've seen thus far and that makes it stand out from the rest.It tells the story of a congregation of super villians who mastermind a plan to steal Batmans files on the Justice League in order to pick them off. Those files being the secret ones he holds on each members weaknesses and his plans to take them down should they turn bad.With the excellent Kevin Conroy as Batman, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern and the sultry voice of Claudia Black as Cheetah the cast is top notch.The story plays out well though the finale returns to the usual tropes. This could have benefitted from additional time, perhaps even up to another 30 minutes.Regardless this is a good effort though I still think the DC animated movies should become a "Universe" like the live action and retain a bit of consistency.The Good:Fantastic voice talentExcellent plotThe Bad:Why does Bane look so weird in these things?Things I Learnt From This Movie:Explosions kill but leave no marks, even when it's practically going off in a persons faceI still can't take the name Legion Of Doom seriouslyI agree with Batman

This has to one of the best DC Stories of all time as it shows the Justice League has faults.Here we have the ultimate bad guy Vandal Savage recruiting his crime syndicate to help him with his plan to defeat the Justice League so he can reign over the human race. So who will help him to defeat the superhero team?None other than Batman.The story helps to give depth to The Batman as he's devised strategies to render the other members of the Justice League powerless, should they end up on the dark side, this is how far ahead the Dark Knight thinks.The story is strong as DeWayne McDuffie has done a great adaptation of the comic book and Lauren Montgomery directs it just as strongly, keeping the pace fast and entertaining while allowing the characters to shine.To be honest, there's not much wrong with this film. I love the fact they decided to go with the known voices of Kevin Conroy as Batman, Tim Daly as Superman, Nathan Fillion as Green Lantern, who are the voices of the main characters who had their own series, then the rest of the voices are the actors from the original Justice League series; Susan Eisenberg as Wonder Woman, Carl Lumbly as The Martian Manhunter, and Michael Rosenbaum as The Flash, so right from the get-go you're in familiar territory. This is one of the reasons the movie is so good.If you like the DC Superhero's then this is one film you need to watch.

The art and voice acting were good I guess. That said, this has got to be the worst super hero movie I have ever seen. There were so many characters that the movie was basically 2 group fight scenes, fallowed by 6 individual fights, culminating in one last group fight. All centered around a plot with the WORST plan I could possibly imagine. When the movie gets to the ultimate plan my 7 yr old looks at me and says "how did the rocket get to the sun so fast". In in era of comic book story lines that stretch reality just enough to make it believable, or at least try to explain away the glaringly obvious parts, this is a HUGE set back

Ever since the Justice League cartoon came out many years ago, running about 5 good seasons, we fans have always wanted more. The Justice League movie was enough to me to want more. Obviously this the idea of "What if the Justice League went rogue?" was already answered in the 2nd season of Justice league. Project Cademeus and the Justice Lords were way better than this movie but the only reason for that is because the show had enough time to properly bring each character, story arc and connection over a whole season together. So Kudos to the writers of brining some of that same concept to a 1 1/2 movie. There's some changes which I think were good. Animation of Metallo, Bane etc look more anime and just overall smoother/ better than the series. Bane was a good choice as the main Batman protagonist as the Joker would have been redundant and wouldn't fit his character (No one controls the Joker, not even Savage, he'd look at just brining Chaos), while Metallo instead of Lex was a good choice as well (Again, Lex would have his own motives of taking over and would obviously be a main threat and be a been there done that instead of Savage). Even Star Sapphire was nice.Cheetor was the only poor choice in my opinion because she has almost no chance against wonder woman. Mirror man was OK, maybe they could have chosen a better villain from Flashes rogue gallery but Mirror man did a good job. Cyborg was a nice addition and they used him just enough to make him important. Vandal savage was a interesting choice of replacement for the Legion of Doom instead of Gorilla Grodd. Savages plan to talk over the world as a dictator was a simple storyline. It's how he did it that was interesting, using Batman's brilliance of finding each persons weakness and take out each of the Justice League members. It really gives a lot of credit to Batman, showing his intellect, determination and character. Overall the movie was good. The story could have been fleshed out more but the writers had to fit it all within a 1 1/2.
