When it comes to animation films based off comic books it would seem that DC Comics has the edge on that battle because so far they have been the top dogs with their animation motion pictures based on their characters. And Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths is no different. This time the plot centers around Lex Luthor from another Earth must seek help from the Justice League lead by Superman along with Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and Martian Manhunter to help save his world from the Crime Syndicate lead by Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, J'edd J'arkus, Power Ring, and Johnny Quick. Plot wise it is pretty cool and holds your attention from the start of the film. That's what DC Animation films do very strong with is making stories that will hold your interest and make you respect the writing staff for their effects and in this film they did a good job.Plus with a voice cast as this how could you go wrong?William Baldwin as Bruce Wayne / Batman Mark Harmon as Clark Kent / Superman Chris Noth as Lex Luthor Gina Torres as Superwoman James Woods as Owlman Brian Bloom as Ultraman Jonathan Adams as J'onn J'onzz / Martian Manhunter Josh Keaton as The Flash , Aquaman Vanessa Marshall as Princess Diana / Wonder Woman Bruce Davison as President Slade Wilson Freddi Rogers as Rose Wilson James Patrick Stuart as Johnny Quick,The Jester Nolan North as Hal Jordan / Green Lantern,Power Ring Jim Meskimen as Captain Super,Red Archer Kari Wührer as Model Citizen,Black Canary Bruce Timm as Uncle Super Captain Super Jr. Carlos Alazraqui as BreakdanceSecret Service Agent Cedric Yarbrough as Firestorm/Black Lightning Richard Green as Jimmy Olsen / BlockbusterAll of them brought the film to life with the voice acting being superb and with the writing for the film it help the actors bring these characters to attention and make them believable plus they reference other films in this movie that you have to watch to believe it gives you the impression that the voice actors and actresses really enjoy making this film and it shows in their work because they did a superb job The music in the film is top notch and it helps bring the movie together as each piece of music helps tell the story of each scene Plus the animation in this film is some of the best in a long time and good that they went with the hand drawn style because I always love hand drawn animation this film really deserves a medal for it's art because the characters look very believable and the backgrounds are superbI should warn you that the film does feature language not much but enough to warn you in advice it just not often you would have an animated film with language also the film does have some moments that make you go serious in a animated filmBut none the less this is a film worth your timeOverall if you're a fan of comic books and enjoy animation films you'll enjoy this one because it just a lot going for it so give it a shotI give Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths an 8 out of 10

These Marvel and DC animated movies are certainly great chances to explore different stories. The only problem with the DC ones is that they have a strict formula for the number of action scenes. This means most of the dialogue between the action can pretty much be ignored. Crisis on Two Earths did well in displaying the different characters and their relationships in the short amount of time. James Woods as Owlman was the most interesting character, becoming something worse than his dull crime- syndicate buddies. It's no New Frontier, and perhaps it's just my love of Green Lantern, but he wasn't in this enough. Hopefully DC will focus on the individual characters as the group efforts are overflowing with too many ingredients.

I somewhat enjoyed "Public Enemies", and "Under the Red Hood" is by far the best feature ever, but this edition really could have used some work. It has the same problems as a lot of its predecessors, delivering solely action and a pretty basic plot outline of the much deeper graphic novel. This was pathetic to me, because the premise was pretty promising. Not only that, but Batman spends 90% of his time in the movie getting his ass handed to him, which was insulting really. Chris North, Mark Harman, and William Baldwin, all were decent, but nothing compared to Kevin Conroy or Tim Daly. Although give credit where credit is due concerning James Woods, who did pretty damn good throughout as Owlman. If you're around 10 this will be the best thing you've ever seen, but if you were born in the 90s or older then it will pass off as mediocre.

I really like Justice League adventures, since they espouse the spirit of cooperation among the DC superheroes which I grew up with. My favorite DC comics in my childhood were my JLA comics. I really liked the recent revival of the JLA on TV. And now, I welcome these new mature animated JLA movies.Crisis on Two Earths is exactly what the title tells us. There are two Earths in this movie. This Earth where the JLA lives in, and a parallel Earth where the characters are reversed. The JLA counterparts are part of the nefarious Crime Syndicate (Ultraman, Owlman, Superwoman, Johnny Quick Man and Power Ring), while Lex Luthor and the Joker are the self-sacrificing heroes.It is very good to see the various guest appearances of other superheroes in this movie, like the Black Canary, Aquaman, as well as evil analogues of Green Arrow (in red) and the Elongated Man. It is good to see my favorite character, the Martian Manhunter, also have a featured part, and even a love interest! As with several other JLA adventures, the Batman had the meatiest part, together with his alter-ego, Owlman. Toward the end, the future of the two Earths actually lay in their philosophical and physical entanglements. This scene, as well as the rest of this movie, was very well-written and set into animation. The voice acting was sensitive and very well-done.
