Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

TheLittleSongbird Love animation and have really enjoyed to loved many superhero films, animated and live-action. Justice League has always interested me too. 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' deserves a lot of plaudits for making Aquaman more fleshed out and is an enjoyable film in its own right.Is 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' better than 'Justice League: War'? Yes, it is a vast improvement, was underwhelmed by that film in a very mixed bag sort of way although not finding it that bad. Is it one of the best animated DC films? No, there are others that are a lot better. Is it one of the worst? Nowhere near. Is it perfect? No, it had the potential to be great but is only good, many fine things but falls short in other areas. 'Justice League: Throne of Atlantis' would have fared better with a longer length, an hour and a quarter or so is far too short. That way it would have felt less rushed and characters and subplots would have been much more developed than they were and made sense more. Superman and Wonder Woman are particularly wronged of the Justice League, with Superman continuing to be out of character, and their pairing was forced and didn't make sense. Orm had some menace but felt underwritten to me.However, the animation is great. There are some very nice detailed backgrounds, the characters are designed well and the colours are dynamic and atmospheric. The music is both haunting and rousing, a good fit for the film's mood. The action is nicely animated and has a good amount of thrills. The story is compelling enough and making Aquaman interesting and relatable was a good move and came off well. Voice acting is good. Cyborg, Flash, Batman and Aquaman are spot on, while Sam Witwer is credible as Orm. The voices for Green Lantern, Woman Woman and Superman are much improved over 'Justice League: War', and better suited. Green Lantern especially.Concluding, good if not great. 7/10 Bethany Cox

Neil Welch A power struggle and a couple of assassinations in Atlantis result in Arthur Curry, long lost heir to the throne, being called upon to take up his birthright. This does not go down well with his half-brother (and usurping assassin) Orm, who is looking to wage war on the surface dwellers. Fortunately, the Justice League decides to get involved.The comic on which this story was based was an OK story blessed with stellar art. Well, the visuals in this animated movie are OK. The story is fine, albeit the New 52 characterisation of various of the characters still jars. And it's this last point which takes the edge of what would otherwise be a really good movie. As it is, it's just OK.

DareDevilKid Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.9/5 starsIn the aftermath of the events of "Justice League: War", the world is at peace or so it seems. However, Atlantis attacks Metropolis after Orm aka Ocean Master blames the surface dwellers (inhabitants of earth) for their king's (who also happens to be his father) death. But the Queen has different plans and entrusts her confidant, Mera, to find her lost, half-human son, Arthur Curry. An unprovoked, unsanctioned attack on a submarine by Orm and a few of his cronies leads the Justice League on a quest for Arthur, too. While they search for him, Antlantean troops brainwashed by Orm, continue their well-planned, meticulous assault on humans. How Arthur takes his rightful place as King of Atlantis, and how events build up to him becoming Aquaman – a vital cog of the Justice League – form the rest of this origin tale."Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" marks another high point in DC's ever-growing repertoire of sterling, direct-to-video animated features. Based on the graphic novel by Geoff Johns, Paul Pelletier, and Ivan Reis, "Throne of Atlantis" works as a terrific origin story for Aquaman, and manages to hold its own against other prior, acclaimed DC, direct-to-video efforts such as "War", "The Flashpoint Paradox", "The Dark Knight Returns", and "Under the Red Hood". And though this follow-up to "Justice League: War" might fall a tad short to its predecessor's scale and compelling narrative, it still delivers the same visual style and rich characterization.While the voice acting, action scenes, and animation are as strong as ever, the film makes a few missteps in its introduction of Aquaman. Even though the plot functions as a great primer on who our hero is, his story, ultimately feels a bit rushed in the second half. Still, the movie does a swell job of integrating Aquaman into DC's New 52 universe, and all the Justice League members have some great moments to enjoy with their interaction peppered with witty retorts and smart interplay. Along with some stunning action scenes played through the movie, the real big pay off comes in the end where everything culminates into a really explosive, enthralling action bonanza.Steered by the assured hands of direct-to-video master helmer, Ethan Spaulding ("Son of Batman", "Assault on Arkham") – who along with another crackerjack direct-to-video creator, Jay Olivia, is keeping the flag flying at full mast in the DC animated universe. The adapted plot is highly elaborate and more importantly, well executed – barring a few grievances – which is befitting for an origins setup of this magnitude. And the icing on the cake is a neat little segment midway through the end credits, which brilliantly sets up the next installment in the New 52 series.While it falls a tad short of the peaks of the upper echelon of the DC Animated stable, "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" gives enough reason for optimism with future New 52, Justice League films. Here's hoping for many more such high quality, direct-to-video offerings from Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. Now, only if they could combine their resources and bring such stupendous entertainment to the big screen – something other than Batman that is – in the same vein that Marvel Studios does justice to all its superheroes.

JoeB131 Is always a challenge. Honestly, he's the lamest member of the Justice League, given his only powers are swimming and talking to fish.I'm not even going to bother with the plot. They make Aquaman interesting. Superman and Batman are there but not really participating. A lot of the plot centers around Cyborg and his dealing with being a machine man. Or something.You have some good actors voicing major characters- such as Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern or Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman. But they aren't the focus of this story. they have the stock Aquaman villains of Ocean Master and Black Manta.It's okay as a story, even with a casual understanding of the characters involved.
