Bruce Timm is back! This is an awesome take on JLA. It's an Elsewhere story. Also an origin one, has mystery and violence.

You think that would be obvious with a title like "Gods and Monsters" but you still see people questioning why some properties don't just churn out kiddy stuff all the time. Bruce Timm, who gave us the amazing DC animations from Batman TAS all the way through Justice League Unlimited, is back and giving an all new spin on the main DC trinity. None are the heroes you have known, but they are, if you are acquainted with the broader DC universe, not new characters, just lesser prominent ones being given new roles. The world around them is different as well, often due to how they have filled the roles their powers have given them. Here again, more side characters find them selves in different positions, like Dr. Sivana, Will Magnus, and Amanda Waller. The story takes a very adult view of things, showing the interactions between the first three heroes and how their actions change the world we knew. Lust, jealousy, betrayal, and heartbreak are all around. The title mainly refers to the choice the new trio is given at the end of the story, one which will hopefully feel as real to you as it did to me.

The movie was good. Personally I always preferred the animation films of DC.

Great product, loved that it was a new release at a great price.

A action super hero movies. Excellent box set with figure.

dc animation has another winner on their list with this one

Just another to add to my long list of DC collection movies

If collecting figurines from DC Universe, good addition

DC puts out multiple animated titles each year and 1 is usually outside the main series. This is the one for this year. In an alternate universe to the one most people know: Superman's father isn't Kal-el and he isn't found by the Kents. Raised by migrant workers his worldview is quite different from the Superman of the main world. Batman isn't Bruce Wayne and Wonder Woman isn't one you know either, but using these three main changes Bruce Timm wrote a unique new world that still looks a lot like the DC titles we're used to. Are the heroes or villains? Should humanity appreciate their interference and how hard handed should the three be against the villains in their world. Though there is a lot of thought to the philosophy of this world, there is still plenty of the action that we are used to in the Justice League titles. It was a refreshing twist to what we are all used to.

I have always been a fan of Best Buy’s DC animated movie Exclusive packs. They are my go to packaging when it comes to choosing where to pick up the latest DC animated movie. I can always count on Best Buy to be there for my family and I, to ensure that we got the best quality for our money. Even though lately Best Buy has on a few occasions let my family and I down. By either not having their DC animated movie Exclusive packs in stock or 95% of the packages are damaged. Which is a severe disappoint to me, because I’ve been a loyal customer of the DC animated movie Exclusive packs since Best Buy started offering the DC animated movie Exclusive packs. But still when the DC animated movie Exclusive packs are available, they are a great buy. All and all this product had the potential to be great if readily available, but in the end with the lack of quality control it was al’ight.

I'd read quite a bit about this movie before I purchased it, so I knew what some of the twists the story line had taken when compared with other D.C. Comics films. Suffice it to say that this is NOT your typical Superhero movie...but it IS excellent!! I can honestly say that I enjoyed this more than any recent D.C release. I won't spoil anything here with this review. You'll just have to catch this one and see for yourself. Aside from some minor banding, which is common to 99% of the D.C Animation releases, the picture looks just fine. The DTS 5.1 MA Audio track is surprisingly aggressive and immersive in spots and suits the movie well. If you're a D.C fan..do yourself a favor and, at least, give this a rent. I made a blind purchase strictly on reviews I'd read...and I'm glad I did.

as a long time comic boo reader i have always been super fascinated with alternate time lines. when done well they are excellent. DC has not always done them well in the comics as recently seen in Convergence which in my opinion was yet another over blown hyped up event that really delivered nothing. but this cartoon version of another time line where everything is different was amazing. to see so many long time characters used is so many different roles was exceptional. i enjoyed this DC movie more than most of the recent stuff that has been done. not to say they weren't good, but this was really good. hope to see more of this and less of them rehashing stuff that has already been done.

DC animation has done it again with this movie. They have been putting out direct release animation movies for some time now and this one fits right in. This movie also marks the return of Bruce Timm as writer. Most people will know him and how great he does the DC animated style. If you don't know him, look him up. He's one of the greats. And as always, there are great voice actors in it. This has a great story, so I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I will leave it at that. So, final word is, buy it before it's too late. There is a special edition that comes with am exclusive figure also. That's the one i got.

As along time fan of not only the Justice League, but DC comics and animation in general, I couldn't help but purchase this movie. I can honestly say it was a great film. The storyline, although a departure from the characters previously established origns was excellent and the alternate versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are a great addtion to the established DC Universe. This film was full of action, intrigue, humor, and plenty of drama. All the marks of a classic in my book. The included figurine of Wonder Woman was a nice plus as well and the movie and it's packaging were in excellent condition.

Justice League: Gods and Monsters is the triumphant return of Bruce Timm to the DC animated films, albeit a deviation from the amazing DCAU that he is responsible for establishing since the 90's. Gods and Monsters is a great, self-contained story of an alternate universe with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman being the strong powers that we know but very different characters with very different backgrounds, morals, and scruples. The plot is good fun, leaving the viewer guessing, the blu-ray video and audio quality is excellent, and the special features are always the icing on the cake. Definitely a must-have.

For sake of the review, best buy experience and physical movie package itself I rated 5 stars because this isn't a movie review. For the movie content, I didnt like the movie at all. My 9yo son thought it was ok though. COMPLETELY new story, the problem was it wasnt all new content, the story included known story lines that they altered and changed as well as all new story lines. I don't want to give anything away but I personally didnt like the direction this story went or how they made some of the established characters actions. All my opinion of course, take it with a grain of salt.

Justice League Gods and Monsters is great movie and one of the best of the DC animated films. Because the movie has a great twist to our familiar and beloved characters. Its an elseworlds title (basically another dimension) in which the characters and their roles play out differently. Its great to see original ideas, as I am getting tired of just watching Batman (my favorite character) animated films. They need to do some Flash animated films, as Flashpoint Paradox was amazing! Or even some Deathstroke!!!

This movie is in the style like the DC Imaginary Stories of old or the more current DC Elseworld comics. A completely new original take of the DC Universe; like what if General Zods son was sent to earth instead of Jor-els and what if the Waynes lived happily ever after by staying home and not going to the movies that night and Kirk turned himself into a vampire instead of Man-Bat so therefore calling himself Bat-Man. Its just a fun and amazing movie, i highly recommend it.

The DCU movies are getting more and more adult in their themes and content. This is not something I would play on the TV and set my children down to watch. The profanity has increased, as well as the visualization is more intense. It is a good movie though and tells it's story rather quickly. It was not what I thought it would be. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't seen it, all I can say is buy it and see it for yourself it"s real good.

Another excellent animated superhero film from start to finish. I love the PG-13 rating. Going forward all animated DC or Marvel animated movies and series should follow suit. This a is treasure for any tent adult fans. Story os clever and original. Blu ray disc has all the extra features that I have come to expect with all DC animated movies. I can't wait for the next one!
