Justice League: Starcrossed - The Movie

Variety of characters and great action and dialogue!!

Well... not so. As I can give 'Savage Time', 'Maid of Honor' and several other JL titles five stars. But that just because WB haven;t released the complete titles!!! (See!!! How many of us want the COMPLETE season 1 and 2 so much!!!)Anyway, the story is great. Conflicts handled delicately. Love it when Batman tried to steer the Watchtower (my Batman... my watchtower), tho it meant sacrificing his own life. DVD features are great. Love the tour of the watchtower, especially. Also the other features of Hawkman and character bios. And the music! Man... Can't WB make a special JL screen saver with music on it? It's got to be awesome!I'm a bit sad that Hawkgirl is leaving the league. But as many said, it is so hard to accept her again (soon, at least) after her double-cross. She's been my fave character, in addition to Wonder Woman, Batman and Jonn Jonz. Anyway... nice little touch in the end with GL.And WW-Batman too! Or rather, Diana-Bruce; cause I couldn;t breath to see them 'pretend' kissing each other. I do hope that WB is not going to end their potential love story like GL and Hawkgirl (or like in JLA comic - sob!). Okay, I know kids watch the show as well... but a bit of love is ok, no? Especially after Shayera leaving GL, we have no other pair but Bruce-Diana (and the least told Superman-Lois).Not a waste of money at all.And so here we are again; the fans, waiting for other DVD collections of JL, hopefully the complete ones this time...

If you already have the series on DVD or you are planning to buy the entire series, then this is not for you because it's included as a three-part episode on the final season. But if you're not planning on getting the entire series, then this is one you don't want to miss out on, for this was the best and most epic tale in the entire series! And this DVD release has combined the episodes into one feature-length movie with a new opening and end credits to make it feel more like a movie. And God knows the epic story in it deffinatently feels like it should have been in a movie.Plot:Hawkgirl's people, the Thanagar, arrive on Earth to protect it from an invasion by the ruthless Gordanians. But not all is what it seems - Hawkgirl has betrayed her friends, the Justice League is on the run, and the world is in danger of annihilation! See the Justice League's most epic battle and one of the most emotional endings in this epic series.Highly Recommended!

This is a wonderful animated movie! It works on all levels, the most important being it is simply a great story told with flair and very tight pacing. I actually find it hard to believe this was originally done as three television episodes. This is what I love, a great treatment of great characters that I have known and loved for so many years. This easily ranks with the best of the early Animated Batman's and I dare say is an even better animated film than "Mask of the Phantasm". And that is saying a lot.If you are new to the Justice League or the DC Universe, you might walk away with a few questions, there is not a lot of extrapolation explaining who and what everybody is. The basic assumption is that you know who these guys are, well, everyone but Hawkgirl, and they cut right to the action. Again, Great!Our heroes perhaps under-use their powers in the second act, but thankfully, they unleash them wonderfully in the end. Highly recommended.

There are times when mainstream animated series outdo themselves. The Simpson's softball episode, the X-Men's Phoenix saga, and the Mr. Hanky episodes of South Park are great examples of this. 'Star Crossed' is on that level. This episode is really intended for fans 'The Justice League' animated series, and makes a number of references to past events and relationships. If you're in that category, know this: this episode brings the heat from the first few minutes through the dramatic (and somewhat unexpected) conclusion. The plot and dialogue are tight, and the animation strong. This is a phenomenal jumping off point for the upcoming 'Justice League: Unlimited' series as well. I don't want to spoil the story with too many details, but the plot is actually somewhat reminiscent of the series pilot, and brings each of the heroes' personalities into clearer perspective. And for those of you who only watch for the fight scenes, this episode ought to satisfy you as well. One of the toughest aspects of writing stories for a team like the Justice League is that some characters render others redundant. For example, if you have Superman and the Green Lantern, what do you do with the Flash and Hawkgirl? In order to make for a truly interesting story, then, you have to introduce a conflict that will really tax ALL of the characters. This does--trust me. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because new viewers would likely miss the significance of many of the character interactions. With that in mind, I would say people who have no familiarity with the Justice League series should at least watch the pilot, 'Secret Origins' before viewing this. I'd also recommend the episodes 'Paradise Lost', and 'In Darkest Night' if you can find them. But the bottom line is that this is the best DC animated episode to come along since "World's Finest". 'Nuff said!

I love the movie which is why i bought it. I have always rented this movie frim the library. Then i decided to buy it and it came early around January.

I love this movie because it shows how even superheroes make mistake and own up to them. Even they aren't perfect. I also like how this show has actual plots and characters you care about. Marvel seems to be in it for the money, but DC Comics seems to care about the relation between the viewer and the characters on the show; making sure you can connect to some of the characters in a personal way.
