[Animation review] [Eng | Esp] Justice League Dark: Apokolips War | Heroes can also be defeated@jrjaime1307d
Welcome dear internet travelers lovers of wars of good against evil and thank you very much for making a temporary stop in my post, if you have been following my content for a couple of months you will know that I have been reviewing the DC animated universe for a while (If you are not following me you should reevaluate what you are doing with your lives lol) the heart of the matter is that I started this journey because of a tape in specifically entitled "Justice League Dark: Apokolips War" which is the one that brings us together today after so long and that nothing else with the title is more than clear that it promises a lot. Just add your layers of heroes that we are about to start the war for peace.

Sin más que agregar pónganse sus capas de héroes que estamos por comenzar la guerra por la paz.

Unfortunately they set a trap and both the heroes who remained on earth and those who were attacking were ambushed, the carnage was brutal to such an extent that the casualties were incalculable resulting in a land controlled by Darkseid without hope, however in the darkest night there will always be someone who works as light and rises to defend the innocent.

The soundtrack is very pleasant because it is used to generate from that dystopian and devastating environment to serve as an epic element in the face of combat, this causes it to feel very consistent with the rhythm that is marking the narrative of the film.
La banda sonora es muy agradable debido a que es empleada para generar desde ese ambiente distópico y devastador hasta fungir como elemento épico de cara a los combates, esto provoca que se sienta muy concordante con el ritmo que va marcando la narrativa de la película.

The animation is the usual for DC animated films, being very graphic, with a color palette with a predominance of dark tones, it is very detailed and graphic something that comes in handy in the face of confrontations. I must add that the fact that it handles detailed scenes loaded with a lot of blood is a success since it adds seriousness to the film and follows from that idea that it is something aimed at a children's audience.
La animación es lo habitual para los filmes animados de DC, siendo muy gráfica, con una paleta de colores con predominación de tonos oscuros, es muy detallada y gráfica algo que le viene muy bien de cara a los enfrentamientos. He de añadir que el hecho que maneje escenas detalladas cargadas de mucha sangre es un acierto puesto que le añade seriedad al filme y se desprende de esa idea de que sea algo orientado a un público infantil.

The construction of the world is pleasant, the 2 scenarios that arise are quite diverse, the first seeks and manages to capture the earth as a world in ruins that is ravaged by misfortune, scourged by an inclement, bloodthirsty and depraved conqueror; on the other hand is Apokolips the place of which Darkseid is master and lord, this world generates a wonderful contrast with the earth since from the go it is noted that it is extremely hostile and plagued with dangers, which would be expected from the base of an intergalactic conqueror. These settings are very well done because they manage to convey the message they try to represent, in turn it is very nice that the narrative uses both scenarios as important elements of the plot, that makes them feel important.
La construcción de mundo es agradable, los 2 escenarios que se plantean son bastante diversos, el primero busca y consigue plasmar a la tierra como un mundo en ruinas que se encuentra asolado por la desgracia, azotado por un conquistador inclemente, sanguinario y depravado; por otro lado se encuentra Apokolips el lugar del cual Darkseid es amo y señor, este mundo genera un contraste maravilloso con la tierra ya que desde el vamos se nota que es sumamente hostil y plagado de peligros, lo que se esperaría de la base de un conquistador intergaláctico. Dichas ambientaciones están muy bien hechas debido a que logran transmitir el mensaje que intentan representar, a su vez es muy agradable que la narrativa utilice ambos escenarios como elementos importantes de la trama, eso los hace sentir importantes.

The plot is simple but captivating, it is the typical story of good against evil, however I must highlight the fact that from the go raises the defeated heroes starting with a certain tragic note and this demotivation is worked throughout the film, it is not for less since it is a rather traumatizing massacre. In general the tape handles a quite palpable psychological touch, not much with it although it is appreciated that he makes at least the attempt; Another element that if it makes use of good form are the dramatic moments and the plot twists, both have a very good development and are used intelligently so that they feel very consistent with everything that happened in the film. I do not usually talk about the endings however it is necessary, I was surprised that this did not end up being the typical happy resolution, I sought and managed to capture the consequences of a war being that the countless casualties are too many for the survivors to decide to be happy with the victory, it is of a more mature, tragic and realistic tone that I had not seen in other DC animated films and that is why it is to be commended. that they dared to do something unexpected but plausible.
La trama es sencilla pero atrapante, es la típica historia del bien contra el mal, sin embargo he de destacar el hecho de que desde el vamos plantea a los héroes derrotados empezando con cierta nota trágica y dicha desmotivación es trabajada a lo largo del filme, no es para menos puesto que es una masacre bastante traumante. En general la cinta maneja un toque psicológico bastante palpable, no hace mucho con ello aunque igual se agradece que haga por lo menos el intento; otro elemento que si hace uso de buena forma son los momentos dramáticos y los giros argumentales, ambos tienen un muy buen desarrollo y son empleados de forma inteligente para que se sientan muy acordes con todo lo acontecido en la película. No suelo hablar de los finales sin embargo es necesario, me sorprendió que este no terminase siendo la típica resolución feliz, busca y conseguí plasmar las consecuencias de una guerra siendo que las incontables bajas son demasiadas como para que los sobrevivientes decidan estar felices con la victoria, es de un tono más maduro, trágico y realista que no había visto en otros filmes animados de DC y es por ello que es de elogiar que se atreviesen a algo inesperado pero plausible.

This is the most wonderful and disappointing point in equal parts, first let's highlight the positive, John Constantine is undoubtedly the character who steals the show, he presents himself with varied feelings about the first lost battle, from anger for what happened to sadness and depression for losing different friends, they are emotions that he has throughout the tape and that evolve because they are susceptible to different elements. that reveals the plot; on the other hand there is the villain who is wonderful, Darkseid has served as a villain in different animated films but it is undoubtedly in this where he is seen shining more, he is cruel, ruthless and merciless, his grandeur is palpable since he is a character who fully fulfills his role of being the pillar to tear down to achieve peace, While his goal is simple as the fuck makes up for it with an excellent presence that makes him feel without a doubt like the super-powered final boss to defeat.
Este es el punto más maravilloso y decepcionante a partes iguales, primero destaquemos lo positivo, John Constantine es sin duda el personaje que se roba el show, se presenta con sentimientos variados sobre la primera batalla perdida, desde ira por lo sucedido hasta tristeza y depresión por perder a diferentes amigos, son emociones que va teniendo a lo largo de la cinta y que van evolucionando debido a que son susceptibles a los diferentes elementos que va develando la trama; por otro lado está el villano que es jodidamente maravilloso, Darkseid ha fungido de villano en diferentes filmes animados pero es sin duda alguna en este en dónde se le ve brillar más, es cruel, despiadado e inmisericordioso, su imponencia es palpable puesto que es un personaje que cumple completamente su rol de ser el pilar a derribar para conseguir paz, si bien su objetivo es simple como el carajo lo compensa con una presencia excelente que lo hace sentir sin duda alguna como el jefe final superpoderoso a derrotar.
Moving on to the negative we have the rest of the characters who feel very flat, it seems that Constantine was the only one affected by the death of their loved ones, the vast majority acts apathetic about this, characters who have good presence throughout the film like Superman or Raven feel like empty shells, others like Batman or Robin who have less screen time are perceived much more pleasant and with better development. At this point I will also highlight characters like Shazam who is never focused despite having gone through hell; last but not least are characters like Flash or Zatanna who although they do not have a gigantic presence manage to convey a rather depressing or pleasant feeling respectively thanks to their actions or what they endured, deserve to be mentioned at least.
Pasando a lo negativo tenemos el resto de personajes que se sienten muy planos, pareciese que Constantine fuese el único afectado por la muerte de sus seres queridos, la gran mayoría actúa apáticos con respecto a esto, personajes que tienen buena presencia a lo largo de la película como Superman o Raven se sienten como cascarones vacíos, otros como Batman o Robin que tienen menos tiempo en pantalla se perciben mucho más agradables y con mejor desarrollo. En este punto también destacaré a personajes como Shazam que nunca es enfocado pese a haber pasado por un infierno; por último pero no menos importante están personajes como Flash o Zatanna que si bien no tiene una presencia gigantesca logran transmitir un sentimiento bastante deprimente o agradable respectivamente gracias a sus actos o lo que soportaron, merecen ser mencionados por lo menos.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War is that film that uses all the good things that had done the DC movies released before it and improves it to an exceptional level, focuses on building moments and characters that manage to matter to the viewer being very enjoyable at all times, although it has bad points these can be ignored since they are not so terrible as to ruin the experience. It is for all this that it deserves a rating of 5 stars out of 7, a superhero film that has no hesitation in showing them as vulnerable beings who can be defeated and forcing them to accept that truth if they want to overcome and succeed in the end.
Justice League Dark: Apokolips War es ese filme que utiliza todo lo bueno que habían hecho las películas de DC estrenadas antes que ella y lo mejora a un nivel excepcional, se centra en construir momentos y personajes que logran importarle al espectador siendo muy disfrutable en todo momento, si bien tiene puntos malos estos pueden obviarse puesto que no son tan terribles como para arruinar la experiencia. Es por todo esto que merece una calificación de 5 estrellas de 7, una cinta de superhéroes que no tiene tapujos en mostrarlos cómo seres vulnerables que pueden ser derrotados y obligándoles a aceptar esa verdad si es que estos quieren sobreponerse y triunfar al final.

›JLD Apokopolips war: the perfect end to the DCAU@andr3apat1no1868d
Back in 2020, Warner Bros released the is the fifteenth and final film in the DC Animated Movie Universe, it's directed by Matt Peters and Christina Sotta: Justice League Dark: Apokolips war, which follows the story arc of Darkseid comic. This marks the end of a HUGE movie era that started with Flashpoint Paradox. In this post I'll explain some reseason of why this movie makes the perfect ending to the era of the DC Animation Universe (DCAM), but I won't go deep on the plot trying to not make any spoilers, let get started:
Plot: after a few attends to conquer earth, Darkseid finally accomplishes his plans, taking the life of some of our beloved heroes, this is the story of how the survivors led by Constantine and Batman try to defeat earth's biggest menace.
First: the voice cast! I love that Warner Bros. has been casting and re-casting the same actors for animated movies and other film projects. So, we have the same voices all over DC projects. For example, Matt Ryan makes the voicing for Constantine in comic movies but he also impersonates Constante in the CW series. The cast is impeccable, every voice is pretty accurate to the character. I love Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman.
Second: John Constantine is the protagonist. Yes, of course, we get to the members of the original Justice League, and the teen titans and even some members of the suicide squad, but the man of the hour is our magician from Vertigo, and this could be a very personal reason but I adore all the Sandman's story from Vertigo. So, watching this not-so-known character as a protagonist gives the story a fresh twist. What I like the most about this, it's that we get a very different Constantine to what we are used to, usually and even in Justice League Dark, John shows his selfish character, tricking others and getting advantage of them, for this movie we have a different Constantine a very human one, who tries to redeem himself for the damage he has done before, especially to Zatanna.
Third: This is an R-rated movie, this is not a kids movie. The level of violence and crudeness of the movie make it AMAZING, The movie has lots of deaths even in the first minutes it serves lots of purposes because it puts us in the context of how bad things can go and that's something, I think, have been failing in the DCAU movies, as they are designed for kids, so they don't show us how bad and cruel Darkseid and his subordinates can be.
Fourth: It's a pretty consistent film by itself, naturally if you watch the 14 prior films you'll have lots of background of the arc story BUT you do not necessarily have to see all of them to understand what the movie goes about.
Fifth: The animation. There's a reason why DCAU movies have always been better than the Marvel ones, in this film we get AWESOME action sequences, and we also get some versions of some characters that we don't see as often, for example: defeated Superman.
Sixth: Its humor and wittiness, I know that usually, DC movies are pretty dark and humorless but this movie has some touch of humor, especially humor that comes from irony, that helps us a bit to breathe some fresh air through all its darkness and I think that's very well done, adds a lot to the movie.
Lastly: the ending. It's a bit predictable because they discuss it early in the movie but I couldn't think of a better ending to this movie and this era. Because there's nothing else that can be done. And even when we know we won't have more of these movies, it sets an interesting left point if they decided to add more movies to the franchise.
So, in my opinion, even when the movie is not as accurate to the comics as I usually like. This movie is amazing and gives a gold ending to a HUGE era. That's it for today, thanks for coming this far. Bye!
›Justice League Dark: Apokolips War / Liga de la Justicia Oscura: Guerra Apokolips: Review@miguelpeliculas2160d
Esta película cuenta con escenas muy violentas y demasiado gráficas, por lo que no es recomendable que niños pequeños la vean.
This movie features very violent and overly graphic scenes, so it is not recommended that young children watch it.
Siempre ha habido una guerra entre los fanáticos de DC comics y Marvel, y déjenme decirles que soy de DC al 100%. El universo cinematográfico de Marvel es una maravilla, no hay comparación en lo absoluto, pero quieren saber donde DC arrasa con su competencia, en las películas animadas, y esta es una muy buena razón.
There's always been a war between DC comics and Marvel fans, and let me tell you, I'm 100% DC. The Marvel Cinematic Universe is wonderful, there is no comparison at all, but they want to know where DC is wiping out its competition, in animated movies, and this is a very good reason.
Aunque si tengo que decir que la trama tiene cierto parecido a una película de Marvel estrenada hace muy poco, por lo que pierde un poco el factor sorpresa. Pero se mantiene una pequeña cosa, Batman no es humano, es simplemente el personaje más ridículamente inteligente jamás creado.
Although if I have to say that the plot has a certain resemblance to a Marvel movie released very recently, so it loses the surprise factor a bit. But one small thing remains, Batman is not human, he is simply the most ridiculously intelligent character ever created.
La película cuenta con algunas cosas demasiado arriesgadas, como la violencia extrema, vemos cómo destripan y desmiembran a personajes emblemáticos, y sencillamente me gustó, tal vez sería mejor si fuera un poquito menos gráfico, pero parece que los fanáticos lo aman.
The movie has some too risky things, like extreme violence, we see how they gut and dismember iconic characters, and I just liked it, maybe it would be better if it was a little less graphic, but it seems that fans love it.
Y cuanto a la historia, la trinidad de DC tiene bastante peso, aunque se le da más protagonismo John Constantine, a Raven y a Damián Wayne (Robin), dándole ese toque "oscuro" a la película.
And as for the story, the DC trinity has a lot of weight, although John Constantine, Raven and Damián Wayne (Robin) are given more prominence, giving that "dark" touch to the film.
Otros personajes de la liga apenas tienen momentos para aparecer en increíblemente el escuadrón suicida gana mayor protagonismo, de la mano de Harley Quinn.
Other characters in the league barely have moments to appear in incredibly the suicide squad gains more prominence, from the hand of Harley Quinn.
La animación del film es muy correcta y convincente, aunque aquí pienso que quedó un poco a deber, ya que muchas de las escenas de acción no son lo impresionantes que deberían ser.
The animation of the film is very correct and convincing, although here I think it was a bit of a duty, since many of the action scenes are not as impressive as they should be.
Para serles sincero, está no es una obra maestra ni mucho menos, pero es una película muy bien hecha, sus 90 minutos pasen muy rápidamente y te vas a entretener mucho ya que es muy interesante y arriesgada.
To be honest, this is not a masterpiece, far from it, but it is a very well made film, its 90 minutes go by very quickly and you are going to be entertained a lot since it is very interesting and risky.
Ya por último pero no menos importante, en la trama descubrirás lo realmente asombroso que es Batman, teniendo planes alternativos por cualquier acontecimiento, simplemente un crack!
Last but not least, in the plot you will discover how truly amazing Batman is, having alternative plans for any event, just a crack!
›Justice League Dark: Apokolips War - Cool apocalyptic movie with big changes affecting the heroes@dedicatedguy2229d
I really enjoy watching DC animated movies and this one provided a lot of unique circumstances where our heroes get humiliated by the powerful villain, Darkseid. Everything is normal at the beginning of the story but soon enough, they identified a new threat and when trying to fight it down, the unimaginable happens.
This movie could be considered as the equivalent of Infinity War & Endgame but in the DC universe, so instead of Thanos we have Darkseid, and against him, we will have a bunch of people with superpowers. This Darkseid guy isn't only very powerful but he also has excellent strategies to neutralize the superheroes leveraging their weak points.
Watching Superman or Batman in the way they are portrayed in this film could be difficult to forget for the hardcore fans. They all get completely humbled by this superior force and defeating him would seem like something impossible. There are also a few surprises that I will obviously not mention, but the superheroes humbling is very real. Notice something strange about Batman in this picture?
Since Darkseid is a major villain looking to destroy the planet, smaller villains such as Harley Quinn will join forces against him. We will also see some lesser-known superheroes such as Nightwing, although he only appears for a few seconds while fighting the monsters.
The animation is good as always. Constantine plays a key role in the story and one of the things that surprised me the most was a sort of fusion between 2 very powerful characters, one of which is supernatural. That part was really cool and the balance begins to tip in favor of the superheroes from thereon. I think I have never seen anything like that in the DC universe. In Dragon Ball, it is normal to see fusions but in DC its super weird.
This flick is easily a must-watch for fans of the DC universe, especially those who love animated movies. It is entertaining, with good action scenes, plot, and fights. The surprises were also good.
The best
Very fun animated movie.
Good thing to see the heroes being challenged this much.
The worst
With so many characters, it would have been interesting to see more character development. Especially seeing how this apocalyptic war affected them. Heroes aren't the same in this movie, and everything changes too quickly.
