I haven’t really been a fan of too many of the animated movies from Marvel or DC. Typically they seem rushed and don’t take as much time as needed to really flesh out the plots. They do tend to be stand alone stories, which is good if you haven’t followed any of the cartoons that have come before hand. Justice League: Doom is no different. It jumps right into the action, involving a plot by Vandal Savage to destroy the Justice League. I won’t give away any major spoilers but there is much more to the movie than what I described.
There is some pretty decent action in the movie. The Justice League is pitted up against some of their common foes. Fans of the old Superfriends cartoon will remember the Hall of Doom shown in the movie. Due to the short running time (slightly over an hour) I wouldn’t recommend buying it, but if you have a chance to watch it on netflix or rent it, it’s worth a watch, especially if you are a fan of the animated movies or the Justice League in general. It does have a small amount of bad language in it and some dark themes, so I wouldn’t recommend it for kids
One thing I do really like about it is that it’s a Justice League movie not involving an alien invasion. Seems like most of the plots involving the Justice League or the Avengers (even on the big screen) tend to revolve around aliens, so that plot gets a little tiring. With talk of a big screen version of the Justice League, a plot like this one might be a better way to go, especially to distinguish it from the Avengers film. So again, it’s nothing special but it isn’t bad. I’d give it 2.5 out of 4 stars.
