Justice League;The New Frontier
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Having never read the graphic novel, I had no idea what to expect when I watched this movie and was very happy with the story, animation and the bonus feature on the history of the Justice League as well.
I have to say though, I was a bit taken aback by the violent scene near the beginning when Hal Jordan finds himself in a kill-or-be-killed situation when he is grappling with a North Korean soldier. A bit much for young children, I think (and by YOUNG I mean 8 years old or younger).
Cold War overtones, Mccarthyesque paranoia and the difference between the American dream and the American reality are the underlying tones in this film and i think the writers did a wonderful job. While i can't make a direct comparison to the comic itself, the movie certainly makes me want to read The New Frontier. But most of all, the film pushes me further into the world of DC comics as I continue what seems to be (and only time will tell) my shift from a steadfast Marvelite to DC enthusiast.
I grew up on Marvel for the most part..but as I approach my forties i find myself increasingly drawn towards the DC Universe and it is nice because there are so many new discoveries out there for me. Its like being a kid all over again.
Well, almost..
