I do not hate this movie. It´s an uneven but efficient entertainment. But its deadliest sin is to be based on a far, far superior source. The first ten minutes are the best of this film. Then, it falls short on both its politically troubled message and how to close its own character´s arc. Sudden deaths and political subtext as an alibi doesn´t make this movie a grown up, nor a good one. Just a bloated, messy fun film that it could have been so much better.

I liked the movie... but everything felt rushin and pushy... this should have been a 3 hours movie.. why wasting such a good material like this?

Empty.

So apparently a lot of DC fans hate this movie because it's not the same as the comics and mostly not the same as the games. I've never read the comics or played the games, so I enjoyed the movie for what it was, but I understand why the people who played the games might be angry. My biggest problem with this movie though, is the ending, and since this is a non-spoiler review I won't get into it, but it was rushed and illogical even, and some characters die easily, especially a particular one in the beginning. But that's par for the course with these DC animated movies.

As many have mentioned before, this story should've been told in at least a mini-series, and WB has HBO Max, so why not do that? Why not give an ounce of your multimillion-dollar movie budgets so we can have a good story told in the medium it deserves? The story is too convoluted to be crammed into a 1:18 hour movie. I just don't understand the point of making an Injustice movie that I now realize has so many moving parts and subplots in its story, and make it just an hour and 18 minutes, like how is that logical to the writers and the director?

My main problem with the DC animated movies of these past years is that they all look and sound the same. They're all 1:20 hour or even less, they all lack good characterization and character development, and because of the short runtime, they don't have good storytelling.

It has been like what, more than a decade that WB has been making these animated movies? When is the time to change up this tired formula at last? How many more of these mediocre rushed animations are you gonna vomit to us? It just feels like they make an animated movie every year to not lose the rights to them and they put the least amount of effort into them.

Why not give better budgets and make the movies longer and freshen up your animation movies a little? This movie should've been at least 2 hours or you could've made it into a two-parter like you did with Batman Halloween, which had a disappointing and less interesting story?

My question is, how long are you gonna keep doing this? I'm not looking forward to any DC animated movies anymore and not gonna watch the new ones, because I already know they're gonna be 1:20 minute and be the exact same thing they're been doing for the last decade, I'm really tired of it even though I haven't seen many DC animation.

Someone really needs to get DC off of WB's hands, because they've been butchering these characters for years and giving us mediocre and bad movies, and DC fans deserve better than this. Their movies have been hit or miss and they're mediocre at best, they fail miserably every time trying to make a uniform cinematic universe, and their animated movies are just like this one: too short, convoluted, rushed, and incomplete stories.

I hope at least our grandchildren can see the day when DC is in the hands of a more caring and competent company.

As a movie, it is fine. It is enjoyable in that regard, but it completely failed to grasp the essence of Injustice that is shown in the comics and games. It did have some nice moments, but important events in the story were just severely rushed. As a series, this would have been great, but the extremely short runtime restricted the quality of this film. Overall, it is not bad, but this is not what Injustice should have been.

I haven't played Injustice but seen those incredible trailers and some game clips. All of that gave me some idea to how things are gonna turn out.

I think this movie was really unnatural, 'cause the pacing was out of place, lack of runtime, convoluted plot, lack of character depth and lack of emotional depth. Hoped this wouldn't be like those ordinary movies yet got something worse. This was a poorly executed movie i wouldn't really recommend.

This is a good comic book movie!

If you have some massive investment in the comic source, maybe this is somehow disappointing; but as someone who came in blind, this is WAY better than the average comic story. The writing is also snappy and the pacing is fast, no complaints from me.

Unfortunately there is a rather large contingent review-bombing it because it's not religiously adhering to the source material. While I agree that can be disappointing, it's blinding them to the fact that this is actually a good movie, and not super cheesy like most superhero animation tends to be.

If you have 90 min and like superheroes you can do so so so much worse than this, give it a shot. I'm glad I watched it before reading the reviews.

Started off really good, but as it went on they had missed opportunities. Never read the comics but have played the video games so I'm familiar with the source material. Although there are some similarities the film did go off on its own, which I understand you don't want to make just a copy of something else even though it would have made for a better movie. It did feel rushed like some of the other reviewers have mentioned but they only had an hour and 18 mins to work with which is usually the runtimes of a lot of the DC animated films. All in all the movies had potential and didn't make use of that I still found it somewhat entertaining.

Injustice (the comic) has one of the BEST story-lines in comic history in my opinion. The five-year prelude to the first game is easily one of my favorites of all time. So I can't, for the life of me, understand how they messed this up! How? It's a comic book and you want to adapt in animation!! Just animate what you see, don't change anything and don't try to butcher five books and cram them in a two hour movie! Why isn't this a TV show? Why? Does WB and DC hate money? This must be the only answer because Injustice done right is an instant moneymaker.

I remember a time when every animated DC project was unique and memorable and exciting. Good times.

Absolutely loved the movie! I've played some of the games and haven't read the comics for it, but I truly enjoyed every second of what this wonderfully animated films as doing. I really like politically charged superhero content and stuff that challenges the idea of what a character stands for, and this is just absolutely that! If you like the darker side of DC and want something that satisfies characters going against classic depictions, then this is the movie for you. It might not always be source accurate, but it's absolutely fantastic in my opinion as a DC animated film. The ending was just perfect to me and really made me feel that there was weight to what was happening along with all the other events throughout. Must watch!

Normally I am not a fan of the 'what if' takes on already established comic characters, and I didn't know what the 2021 DC animated feature "Injustice" was one such story. But still, I opted to sit down to watch it with my son, as he enjoys superheroes. Whereas I can watch movies with superheroes, but it is not my first choice, as I find superheroes a bit bland.

Writers Ernie Altbacker and Tom Taylor actually managed to put together an entertaining storyline. Sure, it was generic in terms of something like this has been seen and done before, many times over. But the storyline told in "Injustice" actually proved interesting given the deaths of villains and superheroes alike, as well as the sheer amount of violence and fighting that took place.

The art style in "Injustice" was good and fluid, and that definitely added to the overall enjoyment of the whole thing. There was a slight touch of good old 1980s cartoon over it, while it managed to be fresh and modern, without it succumbing into a child-like art style, such as seen in the "Teen Titans Go" and such.

With "Injustice" being an animated feature, then having a good voice acting ensemble is alpha and omega. And luckily they had a great ensemble put together for performing the voices for this animated movie. I didn't recognize a single voice though, and having looked through the cast list after the movie ended, I wasn't really familiar with a single performer, for better or worse.

"Injustice" actually turned out to be a nice surprise, and certainly one of the more enjoyable of DC animated movies, if you ask me. I liked the dark and gritty feel it had, the violence and mayhem, and the fact that it was aimed at an adult audience.

My rating of "Injustice" lands on a six out of ten stars.

I don't understand what they were trying to do with this. Honestly just stay away from this. If you want to see the story done good, play the games or read the comics.

Injustice is a mostly faithful adaptation that starts really strong but then rushes through the plot of the game and graphic novel and makes some bafflingly dumb decisions and completely wastes a few characters (especially Flash).

However, it's still a fun, emotional and enjoyable adaptation overall with great and surprisingly violent action scenes, good humour and some satisfying callbacks to the game. A few of the changes do actually improve the original narrative.

Justin Hartley, Anson Mount and Janet Varney are all great and Gillian Jacobs, Laura Bailey and Zach Callison are all really good. The animation style is really good and the music by Robert J. Kral and Matt Peters' direction are both good.

I played the game and I'm a little familiar with the comics. If you're looking for a movie to play out the exact same way as the comic/game, why? Why must you see a story play out exactly how you expect for you to enjoy it? It obviously keeps the story premise of Injustice and tells it in a little different way. I see nothing wrong with that.

This was just aight overall. It was cool to see the different take on the story and I thought this new version/spin on things was interesting.

I'm a huge fan of the game series and think it's one of the most interesting concepts in the DC universe - what if Superman succumbed to his own power out of loss and pain and became the villain? Better yet, what if some heroes agree with him and a civil war ensues? However I ultimately don't think this movie takes full advantage of that source material and ends up falling short...runtime included. Can't say I'm a diehard fan of all the DC animated movies but some of them do stand out - I think of Red Hood, Flashpoint and Dark Knight Returns as some of the gems. This one for me falls into the category of "full price blu ray? Yeah right." but a decent Redbox rental.

I'd love to see this done as a longer live action film (or multiple films) with a bit more put into it. I think there's a lot of potential that remains untapped.

Many plot points were rushed many skipped and many were just overlooked Major things that should have had more impact were not given proper attention But still is enjoyable a good way to refresh without committing much longer time though it deserved to be atleast a 3-4 hour movie and i wouldn't have minded or could be a miniseries like invincible Im not disappointed but im neither impact in a good way.

Wow. This was much grittier than previous Batman/Superman stories and gives answers to some longtime fantasies: What if Superman decided to eliminate war? What if he didn't get to Jimmy Olsen in time? What if he inhaled poison gas mixed with aerosolized kryptonite? What if he decided KILLING BAD GUYS is justified??? -an amazing departure from the normal DCU.

They couldn't do more injustice to this amazing story, it feels rushed, kills off some of the most important characters in the original injustice story, and overall it seems like they didn't care that much, i think even the animation style doesn't work very well with this characters. Totally disappointing.

It takes us to all part of emotions I loved the movie The only part i hate is death of the flash After watching this i really don't like Diana But my love for Batman has increased a lot And as always Robin was not di*k.

I feel bad for the people who didn't read the Comic or at least played the game . To much important parts was deleted or changed . I won't spoil anything but my advice is read the comic or play the game it's better.

Injustice was always going to be difficult to adapt, arguments would be waged on whether it should be an entire universe or a series, but I think this singular movie has covered it well. It won't please everyone and I understand some of the critics of this film, but I'll explain why I liked it.

Firstly it covers the major highlights of each volume rather well, it's inferior to the comic yes but it does a sound job in making these highlights coincide smoothly.

Some of the character deaths will annoy people and I understand one particular one rather well, even though I thought it was clever. As far as I know most were accurate, and they drew good emotion when they occurred.

The ending was great, and I much prefer it to the video games ending, which without the video game component would make little sense if any. I didn't enjoy the twist with the video game either, so having this film pretty much ignore that pleased me very much.

I liked the animation, I liked the voice acting, and I found the length to be satisfying, and it covered most of the material that needed to be covered.

There's definitely some stuff that would've been cool to see in this adaptation, but overall I'm happy, and I prefer this to any of the other DC animated stuff as of late.
