Too much of everything
Beautiful, moving film.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
I'm following the items on this list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_Universe_Animated_Original_Movies) by chronological order. And "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" is purely targeting to kids by compare. The graphic, the plot, and dialog are childish.The action sequel is composed only the fist fight, occasionally with razor beam, much like a pre-K's fantasy. There is no tactical, threat, real objective. I don't like to watch a movie that brings the line "those are civilian, let's crash them".In the end, I rate it 1/10 because I do not enjoy watching this hour long video, not even a slightly joy.
This could have been a good movie. But it fails miserably in reinforcing a complete ignorance of how the American government works. The president is not a king or an emperor, and has absolute power over no one and nothing. This is a horrible thing to expose already undereducated youth to, and shows that the writers need to go back and retake some grade school civics and social studies. If you don't understand the fundamental basics of how a government functions; legislation, branches, offices, etc.. Maybe you shouldn't use them in your stories. As stated, without the story being a complete insult, this could have been fun.
This is the first Superman/Batman team up movie I have ever seen. And it's fast-paced with some entertaining and cool action. The story isn't all that great, but it also didn't seem like it was something that was just there to make the two heroes team up. The animation on the other hand is fluid and well animated, although the design might not be appealing to everyone. So the story is this, Les is the president of the united states and has some heroes under his thumb by winning their trust. That is except Batman and Superman who he puts a hit out on. So the two heroes are running and fighting other heroes while finding out a way to delve into the source of the matter at hand and take down Lex Luthor. The premise isn't anything super original, but it's a Superman/Batman team up movie and that in itself makes it worth a watch.7.2/10
Just finished watching it.I usually love DC animation movies. This one had a decent plot. With the right producing and directing they could have made a great movie with this plot... but the art style and animation are a big let-down. This really feels like something that was made back in the late 90s/early 2000s... I still have a hard time believing this was made in 2009. I look at "The Dark Knight Returns" films, which were made with the exact same budget, and the art/animation is vastly superior in those titles. Hardly even comparable.I generously give "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" a 6/10. For the plot and because I'm a big DC fan. If you are looking for a visual feast, you will be disappointed.
