Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two
What's the Story?
JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS – PART TWO unfolds as the second movie in a gripping trilogy where the DC Multiverse faces its most severe threat. The Anti-Monitor, a formidable adversary, is unleashed, wreaking havoc by destroying various Earths. In response, The Monitor (voiced by Jonathan Adams) assembles a vast array of heroes from across multiple realities, including Superman (voiced by Darren Criss), Batman (voiced by Jensen Ackles), and Wonder Woman (voiced by Stana Katic), to combat the endless swarm of shadow demons threatening all existence. Despite their powers, even these superheroes struggle against this invincible army. Throughout the chaos, the heroes work to maintain their scientific towers, which are important for keeping at bay the anti-matter waves that threaten to devour entire worlds. The stakes are higher than ever as the film explores the dark secrets of The Monitor, Psycho-Pirate (voiced by Geoffrey Arend), and Supergirl, which could jeopardize their last stand against annihilation.
Is It Any Good?
Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two tries to keep up the excitement from the first movie but ends up a bit confusing. Unlike the first film, which mostly focused on Barry Allen, this one can't decide who its main hero should be. It switches between Batman, Superman, Psycho-Pirate, and Supergirl, making the story feel chopped up and hard to follow. This makes it less engaging because it doesn't stick with one character long enough for us to really care about them.
It's important to note that the violence is heavier than what you might expect in a typical animated superhero movie, with some scenes that could be scary for younger viewers. Although the movie tries to teach about teamwork and never giving up, it doesn't do a great job of making those messages clear or meaningful. It looks great visually, but Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part Two might be better for older kids and adults who are OK with a darker story. For families looking for a fun superhero movie that everyone can enjoy, this might not be the best choice.
