Busy cartoon pileup of DC Comics superheroes. Some blood.
The New Frontier lives up to the high standards set by Batman: The Animated Series, Batman Beyond and Justice League Unlimited.
... an interesting take with a PG-13 rating, but seems torn between adult sensibilities and conventional instincts.
a joy for an old-school comic book fan, and hopefully a view of some awesome things to come.
The only real problem with the film is that it isn't long enough...wild story, complex and crammed plot, far-reaching cast of characters, terrific voice work, and sophisticated themes...
Much more of a sophisticated outing this time around, and while it may go over the heads of younger audiences, there's a lot to be gained for older folks looking for more than one-liners and knockdown drag out tussles between titans...
The first 45 minutes is fantastic. Pity about the rest . . .
Audience Reviews for Justice League: The New Frontier
Super Reviewer
Its the New "Justice League" in the 1950's!
Its fun watching most of the popular "Super Heroes" in one flick but what I enjoyed most was the story telling. This version was awesome! Its darker and more sinister. I also got a glimpse of some of the other "Justice League" members who were gradually taken out of the group during the comics.
The animation is fantastic and from the credits I noticed a lot of Asian names, most likely Japanese and Korean I believe who mostly dealt with the art and animation department.
I hope they do more like/of this!
