The story is better than the first one, interesting but still unable to compare with old DC animations.Batman is super cool, as in War; Superman and Green Lantern are still annoyingly arrogant; Wonder Woman is not as stupid as in War, but still dumb; Shazam and Flash are alright, but nothing better than expectation.Aquaman: with a not so good history, Aquaman's return in DC animation is stronger than ever. The final battle proved Aquaman's ability to go toe-to-toe with Superman, Wonder Woman, or just practically the whole Justice League.

I'm unsure what the audience is suppose to be considering one can see people getting killed, regardless the movie has a very stupid plot, very stupid action and very stupid ending. To sum it up, interracial(interspecies) superhero versus evil misogynistic racist nationalistic dictator. I'm not even making this up, it's the writer that actually made it this, but it's even worse than I'm writing it, since it actually has a "magic negro" (look it up on wikipedia) at one point (I'm not talking about Cyborg). As you might have guessed, this movie is full of bad stereotypes.A few sub-plots and anti-logic events: -Superman has the hots for Wonder Woman, kisses her then takes her on a date but as soon as Lois Lane appears he backpedals very fast; -Aquaman looks in his mid 20s-30s and acts like a shy 15 years old kid when it comes to romance (the same with Cyborg);-whales are summoned at the bottom of the ocean (in real life they would die from the pressure long before they reach that depth);-a Megalodon is summoned; -a giant tsunami is created bent on hitting the East Coast of the USA, but then is stopped on purpose by the same Atlantian invaders so they can just march in (what's wrong with letting the tsunami hit, drowning most of the surface dwellers and then killing off the survivors? my guess is the only explanation would be that they feared they would pollute the oceans); -without explanation the US army waits for them as the tsunami is about to hit, then the tsunami disappears (I have no idea how they knew it would do that, even if they were warned by Batman about the Atlantian invasion), then they order the king of Atlantis to surrender... and we're speaking about a military force (the Atlanis army) that in the lore has no problem in conquering the surface world and killing the superheroes;-the war ends by the stupidest deus ex machina plot I've seen: Cyborg records the king of Atlantis admitting that he killed their former queen; -Aquaman, a bum for 20-30 years, suddenly wants to become the king of a civilization he has nothing in common with, other than his blood; -Batman and most of the Justice League have no problem sitting at the bottom of the ocean wearing only breathing masks, etc. etc. etc. etc.The entire plot is filled with stupid action and plot holes that could only pass if a kid was watching this, and I wouldn't let a kid watch this as it has people killing other people (shown directly). Very, very, very disappointed by this, it's the worst animated movie I saw, even if I could forgive the plot and say "well, they're politically motivated to show things like black people at the bottom of the ocean, and it's just a cartoon about fictional characters (awaiting a black king Arthur for the lulz)", but I can't forgive absolutely 0 logic bs like whale and normal people (with no gear on) at the bottom of the ocean not imploding from the pressure (especially since even Cyborg admits at the start that he couldn't do it if he didn't remove his lungs, so wtf).

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.

It's about time Aquaman got the limelight he deserves. Anyone who's kept up with his New 52 title knows the King of the Sea was resurrected with more powers than ever before when DC rebooted its universe. "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is the latest explosive animated offering from the comic book giant and Warner Home Video and proves to naysayers our fishy friend has what it takes to be a contender.Atlantian troops assault Metropolis as revenge for the death of their King. But the Queen of Atlantis has different plans and requires the Justice League to find her lost son, Arthur. While they search for him, the Atlantian soldiers, led by Ocean Master, continue their assault."Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is all the proof one needs to justify Aquaman's place on the greatest super hero team of all time. Whether on land or at sea, he can use his liquid-centric powers to bring down the law on all who oppose him or his friends. I love the style for the New 52 animated movies and think the change that started even before "Justice League: War" was needed. The voice actors all fit quite well, too. Of course it's still hard to hear someone else besides Kevin Conroy voice Batman, but change occurs whether we like it or not. "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is rated PG-13 for sci-fi violence and action throughout. There's some profanity to be found as well. It was very unnecessary and really could've been avoided. The use of adult language is something that will cause some parents not to let their children watch the movie. However, I'm pretty sure no one would've avoided watching it if there weren't any curse words. "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" is one of my favorite animated offerings from DC Comics. I'm a big fan of Aquaman and it's nice to see him get his due finally. The movie never lets up in the action and adventure departments and moves forward at a breakneck speed. There's never a dull moment and it will leave you wanting more as the credits roll.
