I'm watching it and I'm picturing all the animators regressing to their young childhood. Their lives have come full circle. They grew up making things with Lego, then graduated to big boy toys (Maya/3D Studio Max), and now they're playing with Lego again. And the sheer joy it brings them comes across in everything the film does.

Plus, Billy Dee Williams.
pretty great, right?

Plot hole is another phrase for "I was thinking about the movie too much".

Just watched Justice League War

IT...SUCKS!!!!

Seriously, I don't remember Geoff John's first arc of the New 52 Justice League reboot being this bad...but it must have been because the movie seems to follow all of the same events that I remember

Maybe it just works better in comic book form, because the writing and dialog in this movie just seemed awful to me...especially Wonder Woman. My god, this is the worst portrayal of her I've ever seen in animated form. Even her voice actress sucks, and her ice cream scene is cringe inducing. It's like watching a C level Saturday morning cartoon.

This is the worst of all the animated DC movies I've seen in the past couple years and an absolutely horrible way to introduce people to the New 52 universe

Much better alternatives if you want a good Justice League movie:

Truthfully though, not even the above mentioned movies can top Batman's best movies:

Hopefully, this will be as good as they were:

Nerdist actually did a good job picking apart Justice League War. I love this quote:

"Justice League: War feels like what the Justice League movie would be if Michael Bay directed it: lots of posturing by characters you don’t really like, and lots and lots of destruction porn."

Perhaps that's because you failed mention Flashpoint Paradox ;)
Perhaps the best DC AU film to come out. Def on par or better than Red Hood.

On (almost) par? Yes. Better? Nah no way, sorry :P. Red hood had the advantage of having a really intriguing villain who went through his own story arc during the film.

I watched this just this week, but it is easily one of my favourite 2013 productions. I liked the simple, no-nonsense plot, the lack of "support characters" and the nice effects of course.

More of this and less sociopathic spandex suits, please.

An INDEPENDENCE DAY sequel without Will Smith? No thanks.

Speaking of Will Smith, there's an episode of the Fresh Prince where he names his future children. One of the first names he says is "Willow".
