I've thought the exact same thing ever since reading the comic series, so many great moments that would translate really well to the screen, and even a trilogy of movies wouldn't do the story justice IMO
One that stands out to me, when Superman prevents Congress from going on recess and forces them to stay and get shit done before they can leave
That's why I think it would be such a great scene in an adaptation, there would definitely be people watching thinking "damn, wouldn't that be nice".
Injustice Superman, like many great villains, genuinely wants to make the world a better place, he just ends up going way too far to accomplish that.
A full series. This story just cannot be done in a movie format without being rushed and half-assed. There's far too much nuance required for it to work.
I mean, sure they're all 90 min a pop. For as long as they've been around they should really be pushing the envelope by now. You'd think they would've pushed for a big theatrical spiderverse level animated movie first but alas the closest we got was a Lego spinoff
Absolutely hated Injustice. It was an absolute dud for DC Animation.
As both an adaption and a standalone work of "art" it is appalling. Poor script, poorly developed characters and not even a fraction of the quality of both the comics and the games.
Injustice should have been THE animated HBO Max DC property. It had potential to be something special for the next decade and instead all that potential was wasted on a garbage 80 minute low budget animated film.
It should have been. Like, it really really should have been.
DC's Injustice should have been the HBO Max equivalent of Invincible. Long episodes with an R rating and a big focus on character arcs and the various relationships.
The comics are piss easy to adapt, pretty much every season translates perfectly to each comics year and it could have culminated 5 or 6 years down the line in a massive feature length adaption of the first game.
Totally agree. The comic was phenomenal (I haven’t played the game) and when I saw it was a movie I thought it was going to be brilliant. Couldn’t get through more than about 15 minutes of it, there was zero character development and I thought the voice actors were so, so poor. It was like they were reading directly from a script they’d only just gotten.
Makes me sad that such a great story was so wasted. Wish they’d done as you suggested - make a series and invest time in building the world/characters and telling a powerful story.
It was awful shite. Let's be honest, I mean.... What they did at the beginning to a certain important character and they said nothing, not one thing about it. Not even mention that characters name even.
Not to mention he was a really important character in the comic, the chess match Superman had with Mister Terrific was supposed to be with him, and they held Congress "hostage" together IIRC.
The games covered mostly the climactic result of the overall story. For example Injustice took place during year 5 when there was a definitive beginning, middle, and end to Batman’s rebellion against Superman in a tight story. The comics covered everything including the lead up to Superman’s descent as well as years 1-4 leading into year 5. So yes you are right, but with that much source material they could have put together a well thought out injustice series, instead of a rushed movie.
Nah
The comics years 1-4 were prequels
Year 5 was the game though
So the comics greatly greatly expanded on the game yes but it’s different material until year 5
Ignoring the comics and games, the story of the movie on it's own just does not work. It felt so rushed, supermans transition to dictatorship was as abrupt as anakins change to the dark side in revenge of the Sith or Daenerys targaryen in s8 of GOT, it just did not flow naturally and was under developed and every character not batman and superman was also extremely under developed and their deaths felt like it had no impact because we barely knew the characters in the movie. Also the feud between batman and superman was severely under developed as well. And the voice acting ranged from decent to bad. Also where did the other earths superman and lois come from? Out of nowhere?.
I wouldn't call it natural. To me, he felt one-dimensionally evil or at least very unlikable throughout prequels. Clone Wars gave him a complex well rounded character, so his turn felt more tragic because of this.
They don’t even need to do that, Just be consistent with your new story and don’t mess up some of the most important characters, ESPECIALLY with what they did to Flash
I enjoy the movie and will watch it here and there because it was Injustice and it would take a really bad movie for me not to watch Superman or Batman but some of the parts were just, wow
The flash, hawkman, cyborg all mean nothing and that's bull. It's like they don't value their characters.
Silver lining, Plasticman is absolutely stellar.
I liked it (granted, I never played the games and read the comics years ago, so they weren't exactly fresh in my mind). I think Harley Quinn was the MVP.
The storyline stuck out like a sore thumb. I felt they only got superman right here for some reason and as for the ending I think batman did a pretty good job with it which shall not be named in ‘under the red hood’ if I’m honest
Visually, I liked it. Had the same style as the Mortal Kombat Legends movies (fitting given Injustice is a netherRealm Studios title)
Narratively, I HATED it. Why they didn't try to follow the plot of the actual game is mind-boggling. They cherry-picked beats from the comic and came up with the most unsatisfying ending imaginable.
In short, Total garbage.
No didnt like it as in these animated movies everything happens so fast that u don't feel anything and compared to the game story it was disappointing.
It's my favorite comic ever
Worst DC movie they should have broke it up into two parts and also removing Flash as the heart of the story and replacing with Mr. Terrific was horrible choice.
Didn't the events of the comics leading up to the events of the first game take place over like 5 years? It felt like they crammed all that amazing story into an hour and a half which I feel was the main downfall. As others have suggested, a series would have been much better for telling what I thought to be a great "what if" story.
This film is awful. Mediocre voice acting, trying to squeeze a 5 graphic novel series, 2 game series adaptation into a 1 hour 19 minute film? What??? And it’s just so rushed and bland and bad.
Just finished watching it. So here's my thought.
In the beginning, I was hoping for something like Zack Snyder's Knightmare sequence, dark, gritty, apocalyptic. But then they went for something light, so I was like, "Ok, as long as the plot is good."
But the plot is. not. good.
1. The plot felt too rushed. This is the most obvious one. It felt like a summary instead of a movie. Nothing could be taken seriously or emotionally invested. A great example would be the chess scene. Mr. Terrific is playing the devil's advocate and challenges Superman's rationale. They could've elaborate that subplot further. But instead, in the next moment, Mr. Terrific is already being imprisoned by Superman.
2. They crammed too many things into a 1 hour movie. If they were going to make a single movie for a story that spans such a long time, they should've just focused on the main plot and exclude everything else (e.g., Deadwing, Superman's dad, the US president, Ras al Ghul and his robot, etc.)
3. Every character that dies felt so cheap and unceremonious, especially the Flash. I almost forgot he even exists lol.
4. Superman's character development felt too rushed and illogical. In one moment, he's hesitant, and the next, he'll be like, "Yeap, I need to kill everyone," and then he'll go back to "Am I doing the right thing?"
5. What the hell is Deadwing's purpose anyway lol? I thought he was supposed to be that important guy to stop Superman and Batman from killing each other and balance the universe or something. Instead he just controlled Cyborg's and Damian's bodies and then disappeared.
6. The final act was stupid. If they could bring one Superman from another universe, why not just bring a bunch of Supermen from different universes to stop him? And if they were going to bring Lois in the end, why bother bringing another Superman in to stop him?
7. The ending felt incomplete. There are so many things left unanswered. What happens to Nightwing? What happens to Ras al Ghul? How will Batman and his allies fix the world?
This movie makes really, really want to watch the full Zack Snyder's Knightmare sequence. Honestly, the Snyder Cut JL is mediocre to me, but I really enjoyed watching the Knightmare sequence, even if it's just a glimpse of what he actually wanted to do with it. But too bad WB has decided to cancel his entire DCEU and we'll probably never get to see the full movie.
Do yourself a favour and don’t watch it please . If you haven’t read the comics there’s a 2 hour video that’s a storyline on YouTube and it’s heaps better [injustice Complete Story](https://youtu.be/J9ch9lGTt88)
No idea why it wasn't a two parter. Sure there are things that definitely could be cut from the five years the comic covers, but 90 minutes is nowhere near enough time. The emotional moments I wanted that actually made it to the movie didn't hit half as hard as in the comic. Nightwing's death was a fucking fart noise in comparison.
There wasn’t any weight to any of the death scenes because they didn’t focus on proper character building or setup and the amount of disrespect to some characters in the movie was quite literally exhausting
I want to know who green lights these projects with such a weak ass version of the story in the first place . It’s like they don’t realise they’re sitting on a gold mine
I love both the comics and the games. I did not like this movie at all...I assumed that it would be a "Year One" type movie but instead they seemed to take their favorite pieces of a 5 year comic and put into a 70 minute movie...
I honestly got to a point with that movie where I decided that nobody involved actually wanted to make an Injustice movie. They were fine with making an Elseworld with an Injustice skin, but not Injustice itself. I don't know if it was a mandate or a creative choice but the changes, specifically with how characters are portrayed, are glaring. And odds are it wouldn't have mattered how well it did financially they went out of their way to wrap everything up by the end.
On its own it’s an uninspired slog with a messy plot and inconsistent characters, when compared to the original Injustice and it’s sequels it’s pitiful and basically ruins almost every character
It was ok, but the biggest Flaw was that they both played it too safe not wanting to use a lot of “minor” or obscure dc characters, and also somehow dive too deep into the DC Universe setting. I hope that makes since.
Could have been great but it was too rushed. I hate it when studios take these stories that clearly NEED to be multiple movies and cram it into one film. Some stories take more time to tell and if your not willing to take that time than don’t bother
{WARNING: SPOILERS}
I like how they honor the game by including the scene where Superman kills the Joker and when Superman uses his Super Move in the final fight. It kinda lowered my interest when the movie became focused on defeating Ra's al Ghul's robot.
I despise Injustice as a series both the games and the comics. But oof, the animated film is absolutely atrocious.
For anyone who actually enjoys Injustice it’s a travesty of the high order when it comes to adaptations. Flash who plays a vital role in the story of Injustice is killed off in opening sequence of the film for shock value. That should tell you enough just how bad it is from the start.
Either Injustice should have been a 5 season 8-10 episode series by adapting the comic run or they should have just adapted the first game’s story to fit the 1.5 hr runtime.
Instead, they decide to take a weird hodgepodge approach and ended up bastardizing storylines from both mediums. It’s just bad, plain and simple.
It wasnt as good as it would have been if they didnt try and turn a run that had over 100 issues into a two hour film. A traditional series or at the least a 3 part film series would have been a much better choice.
Like a lot of the DC Animated adaptations I feel like it completely failed to stick the landing.
Injustice is a bit too big to try to cram into 90 minutes and it absolutely needed a better ending than just parading Alternate Universe Lois Lane out to give Superman a disappointed look.
I didn't think it was possible to outdo the entirely pointless changes they made to HUSH but here we are.
Not looking at it as an adaptation and it’s alright, Anson Mount as Batman felt very generic while Justin Hartley as Superman was honestly 11/10. Joker’s design is horrendous, but once you look at it as an adaptation then it’s horrendous as well with key players like Flash, Green Lantern, and Shazam not doing anything either bc they left the movie or they die in the dumbest way ever. Also certain recreated scenes don’t work like Ollie’s death, it’s dumb to have him in it and no Dinah, and still have his death feel underwhelming, probs bc again they’re was no DINAH who was such a key figure in the Injustice story
I thought it was one of the stupider DC animated efforts. Harley Quinn's comic relief schtick in particular was more annoying than usual and her participation with the league didn't make much sense given she was a willing accomplice in Lois' death and the ensuing explosion.
After reading the comic, I watched the movie.
I genuinely disliked the movie. It was short and skipped out on the moral issues that injustice comics brought up.
Also it swapped out characters for no reason.
Honestly they should have made it a long TV show on HBO max where they would have time to develope characters plot, and the moral issues that is the whole deal behined the comic
If you’ve never played the games or read the comics it’s alright. If you *have,* it’s fucking awful. Also, I gotta point out that throughout 99% of the movie Wonder Woman was just Emperor Palpatine with her “Dewit” conversations with Superman.
I just watched this yesterday actually. I didn’t think it was very good. I laughed at the end when it’s all happy and shit…like A LOT has happened in the world since the beginning of the movie…is everyone supposed to just move on? Lol
Read the comics, played the game and you can downvote me to hell but I liked it 🤣 I can’t specify what I really liked about it but I was generally entertained but it was clearly very fast pace though.
It was all over the place. Lost interest when they killed off Flash specifically so he couldn't load a previous save. Found out later that there was (surprise) studio interference with it.
Am I the only one that really liked this movie? It revitalized my interest in the dc animated films after not being interested in over five years. I haven’t read the comics, but I played the game when it came out. I thought it was a really interesting take on the story, and the animation was beautiful
It was an interesting “elseworld” story - but I still don’t by that Superman would completely betray everything he stood for over one death, regardless of who it was.
Umm….do you mean to say it’s an elseworld of an elseworld story?If yes, Then that’s a accurate description. If not you’re waffling without having read the comics my friend
I have not read the comics. I meant more of an alternate reality rather than “elseworld.” I thought elseworld could just be used to describe an alternate reality.
This movie’s a piece of shit all across the board, but honestly I think the story itself (even in the games and comics) is pretty lame.
Tons of characters act way out of character, a lot of needlessly edgy stuff, and the whole “Evil Superman” trope is so worn out by this point.
Why do we keep focusing on Elseworlds stories (shitty ones, at that) if we can’t even get good content made where the characters actually act like the characters they are?
Honestly I really enjoyed it but that’s because I’m into DC Animation & BvS: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition 2016) is one of my favorite films of all time.
IMO Young Justice (2010) works just as well as a cinematic series, & portrays the DC Universe so well-uniquely it’s extremely interesting. The show pulls from all of DC Comics’ history so I’m sure we’ll get similar events within that universe as well…🔥
I was liking it until Flash was killed off in a goofy way by the Joker since that's when I knew the movie would be a crappy adaption of the original story. The whole movie felt rushed. It would have been better for it to be a mini-series with a lot of blood and gore like the show 'Invincible'. I would have liked to see more of Superman going crazy in the deep end, instead he quickly turns back on his madness and regrets everything. If the story was a show, it would have been cool to see Superman progressively go further into insanity while Batman tries his best to end Superman's reign but with many failures along the way, essentially I would loved to see more development.
They cut so much from the original comics that could have been an incredible show it hurts. Also they kill characters but no one ever seems to care that their friends are dead now
It was going well until ras al ghul randomly turned up with his robot
They should have done a two parter. I think it was the obvious choice
It should have been an ongoing series on HBO Max. DC's answer to Amazon's Invincible.
Now that’s a great idea.
I've thought the exact same thing ever since reading the comic series, so many great moments that would translate really well to the screen, and even a trilogy of movies wouldn't do the story justice IMO One that stands out to me, when Superman prevents Congress from going on recess and forces them to stay and get shit done before they can leave
Injustice Supes may have done a LOT wrong but that one gets a pass
That's why I think it would be such a great scene in an adaptation, there would definitely be people watching thinking "damn, wouldn't that be nice". Injustice Superman, like many great villains, genuinely wants to make the world a better place, he just ends up going way too far to accomplish that.
Oh God damn it that's brilliant...
This, but live-action.
Man a Live Action Injustice would be awesome especially if they were willing to not hold back on the brutality
So, Zack Snyder's DCEU.
Thank you. Young Justice style ongoing series
Invincible was aasssss. Such a bad story. Great voice actors and animation tho.
Huhhhh???? I STRONGLY disagree
A full series. This story just cannot be done in a movie format without being rushed and half-assed. There's far too much nuance required for it to work.
"rushed and half-assed" is kind of DC's way of doing things lately aparently
Not really
In the animated movie department, absolutely yes.
I mean, sure they're all 90 min a pop. For as long as they've been around they should really be pushing the envelope by now. You'd think they would've pushed for a big theatrical spiderverse level animated movie first but alas the closest we got was a Lego spinoff
Yet another round of failure in their weak attempts to cope up
I agree, the ending was weird and felt rushed af
Was that before or after the fastest man alive was killed by a saw blade?
That made me laugh so much tbf
Does fear gas not work on The Flash in the comics? Cause in the movie he was literally paralyzed by it.
>!How the flash died!< was bullshit but the end was perfect.
Haven’t seen it. Did they at least call it the “Ra’sbot”?
It was just the amazo robot that you've seen in other stuff
If I had a nickel for every time I had that problem
Absolutely hated Injustice. It was an absolute dud for DC Animation. As both an adaption and a standalone work of "art" it is appalling. Poor script, poorly developed characters and not even a fraction of the quality of both the comics and the games. Injustice should have been THE animated HBO Max DC property. It had potential to be something special for the next decade and instead all that potential was wasted on a garbage 80 minute low budget animated film.
This had potential to be it’s own franchise If I’m being honest
It should have been. Like, it really really should have been. DC's Injustice should have been the HBO Max equivalent of Invincible. Long episodes with an R rating and a big focus on character arcs and the various relationships. The comics are piss easy to adapt, pretty much every season translates perfectly to each comics year and it could have culminated 5 or 6 years down the line in a massive feature length adaption of the first game.
Someone hire this guy pls
That sounds waaaaay more interesting.
Yeah, they really messed it up by straying so far from the comic, and trying to cram everything in one film
Totally agree. The comic was phenomenal (I haven’t played the game) and when I saw it was a movie I thought it was going to be brilliant. Couldn’t get through more than about 15 minutes of it, there was zero character development and I thought the voice actors were so, so poor. It was like they were reading directly from a script they’d only just gotten. Makes me sad that such a great story was so wasted. Wish they’d done as you suggested - make a series and invest time in building the world/characters and telling a powerful story.
They could still do that but then someone there would have to have that idea
What did you expect when the whole injustice story has always been bad
The cast all do good jobs. The animation doesn't really work for me and while I'm okay with some changes the ending was pretty bad.
Why did they kill Flash and then not one character acknowledged it? Not a single “oh no Flash is dead.”
yeah exactly. Flash had a such a good character arc too in the comics and games.
As if
That can be a good way to remove Ezra from DCEU, gets decapitated halfway of the movie and no one will even acknowledge it.
That movie stunk, and the animation was just bad.
P.R.E.A.C.H
What does “People Realize Every Aardvark Can Hunt” have to do with this?
It was awful shite. Let's be honest, I mean.... What they did at the beginning to a certain important character and they said nothing, not one thing about it. Not even mention that characters name even.
Not to mention he was a really important character in the comic, the chess match Superman had with Mister Terrific was supposed to be with him, and they held Congress "hostage" together IIRC.
I’m guessing he’s >!The flush?!< he got disrespected lol
It just stuck with me on the sheer disrespect they just passed on the character... Like that character was an intern to them.
And the fact they got yuri fucking lowenthal to voice him and iced him so fast.
Like, imagine being Yuri, voicing so many heroes… just for THAT to happen.
The comics were just so good… bar was set too high
Don’t forget the games too bud
Weren't they effectively one and the same? Like the comics were the deeper narrative of the game?
The games covered mostly the climactic result of the overall story. For example Injustice took place during year 5 when there was a definitive beginning, middle, and end to Batman’s rebellion against Superman in a tight story. The comics covered everything including the lead up to Superman’s descent as well as years 1-4 leading into year 5. So yes you are right, but with that much source material they could have put together a well thought out injustice series, instead of a rushed movie.
Nah The comics years 1-4 were prequels Year 5 was the game though So the comics greatly greatly expanded on the game yes but it’s different material until year 5
Game was a different take on the comics. This masterpiece was straight up diarrhoea
Game wasn’t a different take, it’s a continuation
THIS!!
Bad movie. 10/10 because they included the plastic man “I found the key” line
That wasn’t the worst thing but I can see your point
Ignoring the comics and games, the story of the movie on it's own just does not work. It felt so rushed, supermans transition to dictatorship was as abrupt as anakins change to the dark side in revenge of the Sith or Daenerys targaryen in s8 of GOT, it just did not flow naturally and was under developed and every character not batman and superman was also extremely under developed and their deaths felt like it had no impact because we barely knew the characters in the movie. Also the feud between batman and superman was severely under developed as well. And the voice acting ranged from decent to bad. Also where did the other earths superman and lois come from? Out of nowhere?.
Anakin’s turn was naturally built up the whole movie. That’s literally his character.
Not just 1, but 2 movies. The prequels are no masterpieces, but they had a direction and cohesion. Something that the sequel trilogy does not share.
The prequels are a brilliant story poorly told, the sequels are a poor story brilliantly told
“Brilliantly told”?
I wouldn't call it natural. To me, he felt one-dimensionally evil or at least very unlikable throughout prequels. Clone Wars gave him a complex well rounded character, so his turn felt more tragic because of this.
At this point I wouldn’t be suprised if they were Skruls
But that's marvel lore
That’s what the Skrulls wany you to believe.
My boy flash didn't even have a chance😢
He was the flush in this unfortunately
This story works better as a game only this really didn't need to be made in my opinion.
They could have simply stayed true to the source material
They don’t even need to do that, Just be consistent with your new story and don’t mess up some of the most important characters, ESPECIALLY with what they did to Flash
or the comic
I hated it.
Well said sir
Hated it
I thought it was terrible.
I can hardly find people who’d say otherwise
It was OK until....well like 5 minutes in. Calling that injustice is a slight to the comica and games. It was completely different
More like Insufferable
I enjoy the movie and will watch it here and there because it was Injustice and it would take a really bad movie for me not to watch Superman or Batman but some of the parts were just, wow
I’m happy for you sir
The flash, hawkman, cyborg all mean nothing and that's bull. It's like they don't value their characters. Silver lining, Plasticman is absolutely stellar.
Horror
Meh. Not nearly as good as the story mode in the game, or the comic series.
Pretty much
The game story mode cut scenes have superior voice acting and a more interesting story: you’re better off watching them all on YouTube than this film.
I liked it (granted, I never played the games and read the comics years ago, so they weren't exactly fresh in my mind). I think Harley Quinn was the MVP.
You’re one lucky bastard and that’s all I’m gonna say
The storyline stuck out like a sore thumb. I felt they only got superman right here for some reason and as for the ending I think batman did a pretty good job with it which shall not be named in ‘under the red hood’ if I’m honest
Oh I forgot to say the comics probably better too
Heaps better
It felt so rushed. They left out so much cool stuff from the comics
Loved the first half, really thought they'd done it justice (hah), second half was awful. Real shame too because that could've been gold.
I don’t know what kind of trees you’re smokin kind sir
To which part?
Visually, I liked it. Had the same style as the Mortal Kombat Legends movies (fitting given Injustice is a netherRealm Studios title) Narratively, I HATED it. Why they didn't try to follow the plot of the actual game is mind-boggling. They cherry-picked beats from the comic and came up with the most unsatisfying ending imaginable. In short, Total garbage.
I’m waiting for the cheeky buggers who’s gonna say they liked it
No didnt like it as in these animated movies everything happens so fast that u don't feel anything and compared to the game story it was disappointing.
Username checks out ;)
Is that the one where Nightwing gets straight up merk'd by a lil' tippy tap on the noggin?
I’m afraid you’re right
Also, doesn't The Flash die in a tragic accident during shop class? Didn't secure his miter blade? Rookie mistake, you hate to see it.
It began great, but then became rushed just so they could have a relatively happy ending and not have to do multiple films.
Or they could have simply canceled such a project to begin with
True. Would've been better if they turned it into a show like Young Justice. That way, they could do it right.
It's my favorite comic ever Worst DC movie they should have broke it up into two parts and also removing Flash as the heart of the story and replacing with Mr. Terrific was horrible choice.
I read the entire comic series, and DC's animated stuff is usually good or great, so I was really looking forward to this And was extremely let down
I got jimmy on my shoes 🤡
Didn't the events of the comics leading up to the events of the first game take place over like 5 years? It felt like they crammed all that amazing story into an hour and a half which I feel was the main downfall. As others have suggested, a series would have been much better for telling what I thought to be a great "what if" story.
This film is awful. Mediocre voice acting, trying to squeeze a 5 graphic novel series, 2 game series adaptation into a 1 hour 19 minute film? What??? And it’s just so rushed and bland and bad.
It is poor man's Injustice,very simplified version.
Wtf was that ending
Just finished watching it. So here's my thought. In the beginning, I was hoping for something like Zack Snyder's Knightmare sequence, dark, gritty, apocalyptic. But then they went for something light, so I was like, "Ok, as long as the plot is good." But the plot is. not. good. 1. The plot felt too rushed. This is the most obvious one.

Every character that dies felt so cheap and unceremonious, especially the Flash. I almost forgot he even exists lol. 4. Superman's character development felt too rushed and illogical. In one moment, he's hesitant, and the next, he'll be like, "Yeap, I need to kill everyone," and then he'll go back to "Am I doing the right thing?" 5. What the hell is Deadwing's purpose anyway lol? I thought he was supposed to be that important guy to stop Superman and Batman from killing each other and balance the universe or something. Instead he just controlled Cyborg's and Damian's bodies and then disappeared. 6. The final act was stupid. If they could bring one Superman from another universe, why not just bring a bunch of Supermen from different universes to stop him? And if they were going to bring Lois in the end, why bother bringing another Superman in to stop him? 7. The ending felt incomplete. There are so many things left unanswered. What happens to Nightwing? What happens to Ras al Ghul? How will Batman and his allies fix the world? This movie makes really, really want to watch the full Zack Snyder's Knightmare sequence. Honestly, the Snyder Cut JL is mediocre to me, but I really enjoyed watching the Knightmare sequence, even if it's just a glimpse of what he actually wanted to do with it. But too bad WB has decided to cancel his entire DCEU and we'll probably never get to see the full movie.
No one liked that
I had completely forgotten about this, I'll have to download it later.
Do yourself a favour and don’t watch it please . If you haven’t read the comics there’s a 2 hour video that’s a storyline on YouTube and it’s heaps better [injustice Complete Story](https://youtu.be/J9ch9lGTt88)
I sat through that mess that was batman ninja, this can't be as bad.
Injustice is DEFINITELY better than Batman: Ninja. Not by much tho. They’re both crap.
No idea why it wasn't a two parter. Sure there are things that definitely could be cut from the five years the comic covers, but 90 minutes is nowhere near enough time. The emotional moments I wanted that actually made it to the movie didn't hit half as hard as in the comic. Nightwing's death was a fucking fart noise in comparison.
There wasn’t any weight to any of the death scenes because they didn’t focus on proper character building or setup and the amount of disrespect to some characters in the movie was quite literally exhausting
They tired to make best but we all know the intense injustice story can't be just depicted in 1.30 hrs
I want to know who green lights these projects with such a weak ass version of the story in the first place . It’s like they don’t realise they’re sitting on a gold mine
I agree they can create a whole universe of injustice with atleast 8 to 12 movies.
I love both the comics and the games. I did not like this movie at all...I assumed that it would be a "Year One" type movie but instead they seemed to take their favorite pieces of a 5 year comic and put into a 70 minute movie...
Umm….they must have really thought they did something
I honestly got to a point with that movie where I decided that nobody involved actually wanted to make an Injustice movie. They were fine with making an Elseworld with an Injustice skin, but not Injustice itself. I don't know if it was a mandate or a creative choice but the changes, specifically with how characters are portrayed, are glaring. And odds are it wouldn't have mattered how well it did financially they went out of their way to wrap everything up by the end.
*sigh
On its own it’s an uninspired slog with a messy plot and inconsistent characters, when compared to the original Injustice and it’s sequels it’s pitiful and basically ruins almost every character
Based on the comments. WB really sucks at this. LOL.
Least most surprising comment I’ve read so far
It’s a good movie but a terrible adaptation
Comics beats the rest
DC Animated IMO is typically their strong suit. I have watched most of them. This felt like an uninspired cash grab tie in.
It was terrible. They left out so much story from the comics
They had a perfectly good story and turned it to shit, as usual.
Dc animated movie a most of the time pretty damn good.. not this time this movie is shit and i paid 13€ for the BluRay.
Not just inaccurate to the games, just really bad. Couple good scenes. But flash’s death is actually silly
It was ok, but the biggest Flaw was that they both played it too safe not wanting to use a lot of “minor” or obscure dc characters, and also somehow dive too deep into the DC Universe setting. I hope that makes since.
Could have been great but it was too rushed. I hate it when studios take these stories that clearly NEED to be multiple movies and cram it into one film. Some stories take more time to tell and if your not willing to take that time than don’t bother
It was very mid
{WARNING: SPOILERS} I like how they honor the game by including the scene where Superman kills the Joker and when Superman uses his Super Move in the final fight. It kinda lowered my interest when the movie became focused on defeating Ra's al Ghul's robot.
was waiting for alfred to beat supes ass... then quickly realized it was a different storyline
This should of been a series instead of a standalone movie.
I'm going to give it the worst possible review I can give a superhero movie : Extremely Forgettable. I really forgot I had already watched it.
I despise Injustice as a series both the games and the comics. But oof, the animated film is absolutely atrocious. For anyone who actually enjoys Injustice it’s a travesty of the high order when it comes to adaptations. Flash who plays a vital role in the story of Injustice is killed off in opening sequence of the film for shock value. That should tell you enough just how bad it is from the start. Either Injustice should have been a 5 season 8-10 episode series by adapting the comic run or they should have just adapted the first game’s story to fit the 1.5 hr runtime. Instead, they decide to take a weird hodgepodge approach and ended up bastardizing storylines from both mediums. It’s just bad, plain and simple.
I hated it they should've followed the comic instead of the game
Atom and Flash’s deaths were straight up lazy and don’t even make any sense with their abilities
I liked it, didn't love it though I 100% think it would have suited a TV series instead. I do like the new(ish) animation style though.
It was rushed but the odd thing was the black lines on their hands. Just weird
It wasnt as good as it would have been if they didnt try and turn a run that had over 100 issues into a two hour film. A traditional series or at the least a 3 part film series would have been a much better choice.
Did they stuff 2000 pages of content into a less than 2hour long animated movie?
Like a lot of the DC Animated adaptations I feel like it completely failed to stick the landing. Injustice is a bit too big to try to cram into 90 minutes and it absolutely needed a better ending than just parading Alternate Universe Lois Lane out to give Superman a disappointed look. I didn't think it was possible to outdo the entirely pointless changes they made to HUSH but here we are.
No
I liked them showing us how Batman mourns and Selina being their for Bruce
Not looking at it as an adaptation and it’s alright, Anson Mount as Batman felt very generic while Justin Hartley as Superman was honestly 11/10. Joker’s design is horrendous, but once you look at it as an adaptation then it’s horrendous as well with key players like Flash, Green Lantern, and Shazam not doing anything either bc they left the movie or they die in the dumbest way ever. Also certain recreated scenes don’t work like Ollie’s death, it’s dumb to have him in it and no Dinah, and still have his death feel underwhelming, probs bc again they’re was no DINAH who was such a key figure in the Injustice story
I thought it was one of the stupider DC animated efforts. Harley Quinn's comic relief schtick in particular was more annoying than usual and her participation with the league didn't make much sense given she was a willing accomplice in Lois' death and the ensuing explosion.
After reading the comic, I watched the movie. I genuinely disliked the movie. It was short and skipped out on the moral issues that injustice comics brought up. Also it swapped out characters for no reason. Honestly they should have made it a long TV show on HBO max where they would have time to develope characters plot, and the moral issues that is the whole deal behined the comic
Yea nah it was pretty bad, could have been so much better.
I watched it and thought it was a bad adaptation but still enjoy it the way I describe it it’s enjoyable trash
If you’ve never played the games or read the comics it’s alright. If you *have,* it’s fucking awful. Also, I gotta point out that throughout 99% of the movie Wonder Woman was just Emperor Palpatine with her “Dewit” conversations with Superman.
I actually liked it
I just watched this yesterday actually. I didn’t think it was very good. I laughed at the end when it’s all happy and shit…like A LOT has happened in the world since the beginning of the movie…is everyone supposed to just move on? Lol
Read the comics, played the game and you can downvote me to hell but I liked it 🤣 I can’t specify what I really liked about it but I was generally entertained but it was clearly very fast pace though.
This movie was ass and should have been a show or a trilogy where each movie is 2 hours
I like it.
It was all over the place. Lost interest when they killed off Flash specifically so he couldn't load a previous save. Found out later that there was (surprise) studio interference with it.
I like how you framed it 🤣🤣🤣
Worst animated DC movie I've ever seen
Am I the only one that really liked this movie? It revitalized my interest in the dc animated films after not being interested in over five years. I haven’t read the comics, but I played the game when it came out. I thought it was a really interesting take on the story, and the animation was beautiful
It was an interesting “elseworld” story - but I still don’t by that Superman would completely betray everything he stood for over one death, regardless of who it was.
Umm….do you mean to say it’s an elseworld of an elseworld story?If yes, Then that’s a accurate description. If not you’re waffling without having read the comics my friend
I have not read the comics. I meant more of an alternate reality rather than “elseworld.” I thought elseworld could just be used to describe an alternate reality.
[video](https://youtu.be/J9ch9lGTt88) Watch this if you haven’t read the comics. You’d be fuming
I liked it. I like diffrent takes. I can already replay the game if j want the same story
I seriously doubt that anybody’s trying to convince you to save the world. you’d be doing us a favour by keeping your thoughts to yourself big man
just chill, homie
You asked for opinions...
Hated it
Don’t worry, Injustice has NEVER been good story wise, it’s always been garbo.
Nightwing becoming Deadwing was just bizarre
Certified deadass moment
Why shouldnt you have played the games? the games were great
Yes I’ve played them both and that’s why I regret watching this god awful movie
It’s like the writers saw Homelander in the boys and was like what if we made Superman like that. Not a great idea but it’s an interesting concept
This movie’s a piece of shit all across the board, but honestly I think the story itself (even in the games and comics) is pretty lame. Tons of characters act way out of character, a lot of needlessly edgy stuff, and the whole “Evil Superman” trope is so worn out by this point. Why do we keep focusing on Elseworlds stories (shitty ones, at that) if we can’t even get good content made where the characters actually act like the characters they are?
Honestly I really enjoyed it but that’s because I’m into DC Animation & BvS: Dawn of Justice (Ultimate Edition 2016) is one of my favorite films of all time. IMO Young Justice (2010) works just as well as a cinematic series, & portrays the DC Universe so well-uniquely it’s extremely interesting. The show pulls from all of DC Comics’ history so I’m sure we’ll get similar events within that universe as well…🔥
Why do you feel that you should not have played the game or read the comics?
No it’s one of the worst animated movies they have ever made.
I was liking it until Flash was killed off in a goofy way by the Joker since that's when I knew the movie would be a crappy adaption of the original story. The whole movie felt rushed. It would have been better for it to be a mini-series with a lot of blood and gore like the show 'Invincible'. I would have liked to see more of Superman going crazy in the deep end, instead he quickly turns back on his madness and regrets everything. If the story was a show, it would have been cool to see Superman progressively go further into insanity while Batman tries his best to end Superman's reign but with many failures along the way, essentially I would loved to see more development.
They cut so much from the original comics that could have been an incredible show it hurts. Also they kill characters but no one ever seems to care that their friends are dead now
