1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My daughter got an old Superfriends DVD from her uncle, and I thought it just was so poor that there had to be something better, so we tried the JLU season one and man...it is great!!! Interesting stories, my kids have seriously seen the "kid's stuff" episode over a dozen times - it is hilarious. The plots are great with story arcs continuing over many episodes, this continuity is what captured my imagination and attention and added to the complexity of the overall experience. The animation is also top-notch with plenty of romance in Green Lantern/Hawk Woman and Batman/Wonder Woman and some rather "twilight zone" types of episodes that help include many aspects and characters of the DC universe.

Beautifully made 5 out of 5 stars.

This is a cool series with also cool CGI animated sequences ( Watchtower, earth and more).
All major and minor JLA characters can be seen in action when saving the day from supervillains and monsters, which is superb for comic book fans, as they can see their favorite characters animated on the small screen.

Overall, a terrific set of multi-part episodes. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I have both the two sets of "Justice League" and the two sets of "Justice League - Unlimited", and of the four, I think the first "Justice League" is my favorite, with the three-part "The Savage Time" being my favorite episode.

However, as much as I like "The Savage Time", there are some glaring historical inaccuracies and technological improbabilities/impossibilities that are hard to overlook without some effort. Still, it's a fun watch.

This season couldnt have been any better! 5 out of 5 stars.

I advice everyone who is a major DC or even if you ar not a fanatic to get the first season of JLA. Extremelly entertaining for all ages. U will not be disapointed.

"Comic Geek's" Dream 5 out of 5 stars.

As a fan of the art, story and legends behind the major figures of the DC comic universe this animated series was a more than competent transition from page to screen. It was a very welcome series to enable one to see familiar characters that have already been seen in movies and tv (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash) as well as those which are just as popular on page but who may not occupy such ready familiarity outside the actual comic book medium (Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl). The art style is very modern and an upward evolution from the first Batman animated series circa 1990s. Themes tend to be a bit mature and not as "sugar coated" as in decades gone by, but this is also a positive modern enhancement for audiences who welcome a "thinking" storyline.

Great Price for an Excellent Series 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The writing was top-notch, funny, and inventive. Many episodes following the villains attempts to disrupt the league. This was a great finale to an excellent series, drawing on even more obscure characters for their perhaps only animated appearance - like Jonah Hex and Miracle Man, for instance. Too bad, Ambush Bug never made it into any - would have been perfect for it.

Great stuff!! 5 out of 5 stars.

I got these DVDs as a birthday present. I have always been a comic book fan and when the shows came out on T.V. I watched when I could. I definitely missed quite a few shows on T.V. and was happy to get the DVDs so I could see what I missed! I'm glad I received these. I thought they were great and I think I may have created another fan because my 3 year old loved watching them with me! I would recommend this set to anyone who is a comic book or animation fan.

A grand tour of the DC universe 5 out of 5 stars.

After nearly a decade of quality cartoons, starting with Batman the Animated Series, continuing through Superman, Batman Beyond and Justice League Bruce Timm and his team use this final season to spotlight some obscure corners of the DC Universe. The 31st Century Legion of Superheroes, the lost world of the Warlord, the World War II heroics of the Blackhawks all get a chance to shine.

The series also includes commentary on their first season of JLU which they did not have time to include in the first set.

All in all a class act, a first rate DVD set and a must have for any comic fan.

Review of Purchase 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

As a fan of the Justice League series, I wanted to complete my collection; therefore, purchased the remaining item needed. As such, I take price and rating into consideration whenever I order ANYTHING. I had never purchased a product directly from Amazon and was a little skeptical but thought I would give it a try seeing as they had the best price and above board rating. My product arrived within days of ordering, was factory sealed and in excellent condition. Needless to say, I will be ordering directly from Amazon more often.

Not Bad 3 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

The high-res transfer for these discs is quite good. However, the original source material was clearly not intended for a presentation at this resolution, and a lot of short cuts, rough lines, low-line-count background or distant objects, and other shortcomings show up quite blatantly. For example, it's pretty common to clearly see a character lose eyebrows, then their nose, then the separation between their eyes as they get more distant in a single scene. At 480i, that was not noticeable. Here it is really obvious.

The colors are great, and the video compression is not a problem, but the audio seems pretty flat.

Of course, these are NOT widescreen, they are 4:3, as originally aired, despite the episodes being designed to be shown in 16:9. I don't mind this so much, however, as it shows more of the environment, and my display can show these as if it were letterbox, cutting the extra and showing them as originally intended. The presence of the extra material is not a weakness in my mind, as it makes them better viewed on non-16x9 screens (like computer monitors). The extra resolution which a full 16x9 aspect presentation would have given would have been a complete waste, due to the low quality of the animation itself.

Also, the chapters are well placed, so it is easy to skip the horrible intro sequence, and the recurring "last time on..." section in more than half the episodes. Why they didn't just link these two (or more) part episodes together, I have no idea.

All and all, it is worthy of an upgrade from the DVD version, but they could have done better if they had wanted to. I'd give it 4 stars, but it started at only 4 due to the lower quality of these episodes, especially when compared to the early Batman: The Animated Series stuff and the later Justice League, and lost another star for the small problems with this edition itself.

Basically, I removed one star for the content, and one for the presentation.

first off i really liked this movie, it is a really solid telling of the justice league begining. however, if you are familiar with the justice league, have seen justice league the animated show, or are an avid comic book fan, chances are you're familiar with the characters and the stories. it's inspirational towards the end with some good leadership speeches, but again, been there. i'd say it's very much worth watching but i wouldn't buy it.

If you are a fan of any of the overall superbly done "animated" series of the DC universe; Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, as well as the Batman and Superman animated series, you may be very disappointed in this fare...which is a sub standard adaptation.

As a previous reviewer P. Soliman so aptly put it, this should have been titled; "The New Green Lantern & The Flash movie" NOT "Justice League"
I would go even further and suggest that the overall story and concepts are so overly derivative and contrived the word "New" should not appear anywhere near the title.

The attempts at a 'retro' JLA almost works at best. If you are any sort of a DC universe fan, this is exactly the sort of movie one really, really wants to like...but they give us so little to work with. The story line is very uneven and sloppy. The story plods along and then aggravatingly falls apart just when starts to be -or could- be interesting.

Again and again, potentially interesting character and plot developments are glossed over and merely presented as if to fulfill some check mark on a list of obligatory and formulaic story devices. Even then, nothing is really explored let alone utilized to carry the story forward.

The result is the story and its pace (and dialog) often comes off as wooden and contrived. Many of the Silver Age characters appear to be thrown in simply to be seen...check! The big fight scene finale is so poorly paced it would be laughable if it were not such a depressing waste.

This is the sort of movie that had every thing needed to be a great movie, but the producers could not decide on what they wanted to do with it, or where they wanted to go with. So...they threw in everything that they could possibly work in and manage to accomplish 'much ado about nothing'.

Despite some people's glowing reviews, ask yourself; why was this released as a 'direct to DVD' production only? If it appeals to you, great...it does have its moments. I would strongly recommend anyone who thinks that they may be interested in this JL adaptation to rent it first, before buying it...or wait-it won't be long before this is in the huge 'discount bargain bin' at a Wal-Mart near you.

If you want retro that has the quaint and corny charm, watching the old Filmation series of the JLA will do a much better job-they didn't try so hard to do so much in so little time.

Nice But Has Some Adult Themes 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 4 people found this review helpful.

Starcrossed is a very good justice League episode. But there are also adult themes in this episode.

Love Triangle: john stewart and Hro Talak have a love for Shayera Hol. This is a most importent adult theme to notice.

War: The Thanagarians battleing the Gordanians is violent and sad. How ever, Sensible kids might get scared.

Invasion: Thanagerian warriors walk around the streets of earth like nazis and it's like a reanactment of the nazis invading Poland.

Human work force: the Thanagarians have humans finish the hyperspace bypass as slaves. This may be offending for holocaust survivors.

Betrayal: Shayera Hol exploited the leagues weaknesses and revealed their watch tower access code. She also betrayed her own alien race by saving the people of earth. bad example for younger kids.

Hunger for power: Kragger is always doubting Shayera Hol by stating she's been on earth to long. He also wants to rule beside Hro Talak.

this episode has some adult themes but it's a good episode. It has the good voice talents of victor Rivers(the mask of zorrow), Hector Elizondo(the princess diaries 1&2), and Elizabeth Pena(the incredibles). But watch out for these adult themes

Good DVD, but would like to have seen more extras 4 out of 5 stars.
4 of 5 people found this review helpful.

Being a fan of the show, I was quite happy with this DVD set. The stories are not necessarily for children, and can be enjoyed by anyone. The video and audio are good, but I wish there were more commentaries by the creators, maybe by even some of the voice talent. The little they had made me wish there was more. Still - if you're a fan of this show, I would recommend picking this up!

Nice to see the cast expand. 3 out of 5 stars.

There was always more to the DC Universe than the 'top sellers'. JLI pulled out all the stops and brought in many more characters, giving them their own spotlight and showing us that they're not second-rate. And when they went back and forth in time, they pulled in even more. Lotsa good memories of comic books long gone.

The End Of A Great Era In Animation! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

When the original Justice League series ended, Hawkgirl was out of the group and the remaining members vowed to rebuild their organization. BOY, did they ever as virtually every character in the DC Universe makes an appearance during these final two seasons.

The episodes have already been covered by other reviews so I'll just go into the highlights of both seasons of JLU.

Season 1:

*The Cabnus angle and how Lex Luthor was manipulating things behinds the scenes.

*Seeing The Flash get busy and actually step up and be a real hero in one of the final episodes of Season 1.

*The Once & Future Thing, Pts. 1 & 2 - New revelations that will change things for 3 JLU members.

*New revelations about the future Batman, Terry McGuinus which should've been the finale for Batman Beyond but I am glad its here on JLU!

Season 2:

*The Legion Of Doom makes their appearance.

*More revelations about Hawkgirl and Green Lantern

*Hawkman (the real one) appears

*Supergirl comes into her own and The Legion Of Super Heroes make their first appearance since Superman: The Animated Series.

*Darkseid returns for one more fight with Superman and the JLU

Overall, a good collection to add to your DVD's! As usual, has something for kids but sophisticated enough for adults.
