7/10
Welcoming addition to the Justice League universe
4 November 2013
I didn't read many of the comics but I am huge fan of all DC animated movies and series especially when it is served in the Justice League package. I am sure many fans were waiting for a Flash centered story so I was quite interested how they gonna handle it.

Lets face it. Flash is undoubtedly one of the strongest members of the League but his role was always belittled by being the bit childish comic-relief spiced with a little naiveté.

Not this time. DC went with the greedy and mature route and it totally works. The movie is definitely not for the weak-hearted. It might even creep out some people when they see their favorite characters slaughter the innocent and each other left and right in a completely non-heroic fashion.

The story is epic and fully loaded with action and many of our beloved heroes and villains (even supporting characters!) make a brief or longer cameo dependent on their role in the movie.

This was a refreshing addition but I don't know whether they did this movie so violent on purpose or just because this is the new pop culture norm (i.e. Dark Knight, Man of Steel etc...).

I just hope this wont go out of control because I also like the fun and uplifting stories where the heroes are heroes and the villains are villains.

Overall a very solid 7/10 for me definitely worth to watch.

P.S. Adapt Blackest Night already!!!
