Now, I had never heard about this 2015 DC animated movie before now in 2023, as I happened to come across it as part of watching a heap of superhero-themed animated movies.
However, I must admit that upon reading the part with 'In an alternate universe', then my expectations to director Sam Liu's 2015 animated movie dropped a few notches. I am not super keen on the whole multiverse or alternate universe, call it what you will, that is used to such an extend in the superhero genre that it is becoming a farce. But still, on account of never having seen "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" before, I opted to watch it and giving it the benefit of the doubt.
At first glance, then it was somewhat difficult to take Batman as a vampire and Superman as an arrogant person serious, but once past the initial shock and change, it wasn't that bad. Yeah, I didn't mention Wonder Woman here, because she was unfathomably bland, one-dimensional and irrelevant in the narrative really. She could have been substituted by a cardboard cutout and you still have the same level of commitment and importance from the Wonder Woman as a character.
Once past the major changes to the characters that I would otherwise expect to see as in essentially everything, I have to say that the storyline in "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" was actually good. And the amount of action, blood, killing and general destruction, from the Justice League even, definitely helped to make this alternate universe experience all the more enjoyable. Writers Alan Burnett and Bruce Timm certainly put together an entertaining and enjoyable script and storyline for director Sam Liu to bring to the screen.
With "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" being an animated movie, then having a properly talented voice acting ensemble is a must. And I will say that they had that for this 2015 DC animated movie. With the likes of Benjamin Bratt, Michael C. Hall, Jason Isaacs, Richard Chamberlain, Grey Griffin and others, you certainly are in capable hands.
Visually then I found "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" to be good. The art style certainly was interesting, and the animation was good.
If you enjoy DC animated movies, then "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" is well-worth taking 76 minutes to sit down and watch. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the entire movie.
My rating of "Justice League: Gods and Monsters" lands on a six out of ten stars.
