Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

adonis98-743-186503 New Frontier takes place around the 50's and i think this is where i was thrown out of it their costumes look like they came out of a Scooby-Doo TV show no offense but i think the action is pretty well done but there's also a nice story to tell which is interesting also there's some serious bloody scenes here totally surprised also Martian Manhunter is a Detective go figure. There will be people that will hate this movie and others that will hate it but personally i liked it it's around the old years with Wars and some old looks for the heroes at least it's not 1966 Batman style so thank god for that. Justice League: The New Frontier has plenty of action and heroes to overcome it's ancient story!!

KineticSeoul My main gripe with this movie is the development. It's alright for a movie to be fast-paced but it's another story when the development seems to fall short. And for a origin story for the Justice League I expected a bit more. 75 minutes just doesn't seem like enough time to compact a origin story such as this into a movie form. Maybe that is where the animated TV show comes in. However still, reviewing this movie on it's own merit, it just isn't all that good or immersive. It seems like a taste test or a teaser for comic book fanboys, but as a movie as a whole it falls short of it's potential. It's a movie that is super fast-paced and yet felt slow...That really isn't a good thing. I also had a problem with the voice overs for some of the heroes. Yeah, that maybe a unfair complaint to some, but Batman's voice just didn't fit.5.5/10

utgard14 Based on Darwyn Cooke's popular comic book miniseries, this one had potential but ultimately proves to be a failure. The story focuses primarily on Hal Jordan and J'onn J'onzz (Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter respectively). This is a large part of the problem as these two characters, Hal in particular, are not that interesting. A subplot about Hal being a pacifist is just thrown into the story 3/4 of the way through in order to build to a point that I don't think was delivered well. The characters casual viewers will be more familiar with are given the shaft here, with the exception of Batman who is portrayed as annoyingly omniscient. Wonder Woman is treated far worse, looking like a linebacker in drag and fulfilling the bitch cliché to the maximum. Superman is a total pussy who is dismissed unceremoniously before the final battle, only to be rescued after it's over. His haters will certainly like this more than others.It's not an accessible movie for non-comics fans. If you are not a fan of the comics and have a certain degree of knowledge of DC history, you will be lost when certain characters are brought into the story with no explanation. Another thing is that the villain of the story is lame and poorly defined. It's been a long time since I read the original comics story so I don't remember if it was more fleshed-out but here the villain makes cryptic comments about "the center not holding" throughout the movie, as well as using dinosaurs for some strange reason. If there was an explanation given for any of this, I must have missed it. The animation is crude. Trying to mimic Cooke's art style from the comics works only in still shots, not in the action. The music score is highly irritating and cheap. The voices, assembled from mostly "face" actors, range in quality but for the sake of not looking like I'm piling on complaint after complaint I'll just say they're adequate and let it go at that. It's not a great animated movie. As someone familiar with the source material, I'll give it a middle grade but those unfamiliar will probably not be so generous.

sanddragon939 There is nothing new about the stunning visual of an small army of brightly garbed superheroes taking to the skies together to fight a common threat. But what this revolutionary animated film does is to put this scene into a context, which correspondingly gives it an added depth it previously lacked.Justice League: The New Frontier is not so much about the origins of a superhero team (a subject already dealt with in the pilot episodes of the JL animated series) as it is about the dawn of a new era of heroism and both the excitement and apprehensions associated with such revolutionary change. It tells the tale of heroes against the historical backdrop of the early Cold War, a period of time when America was eternally suspicious of the world both around and within it; fearing its friends almost as much as it feared its enemies.The story is set in the 1950's. The 'Golden Age' of costumed heroes has ended with the US Government outlawing all 'mystery men'. Superman and Wonder Woman have signed loyalty pacts with the government and work as agents for them while Batman is declared an outlaw. An atmosphere of paranoia and suspicion pervades everywhere and this manifests itself as a fear towards the unknown. This fear is symbolically represented by the death of a scientist, Dr. Erdel, from shock following his initial confrontation with a martian. The martian blends into human society as a detective named John Jones but the ignorance and hopelessness he perceives leads him to wonder whether he truly wants to live among these people. Parallel to his story is that of Hal Jordan, a pilot emotionally scarred from his experiences during the Korean War, who now feels he has the chance to fulfill his boyhood dream of becoming an astronaut, only to become aware of a wider conspiracy. Also notable is the subplot involving Barry Allen AKA The Flash, a new superhero who has emerged only to be greeted by the hostility of the government and the fear of the public.But as the story moves forward circumstances begin to transform all the protagonists as they begin to embrace their morals and their dedication to humanity above petty fears and 'loyalties' and unite to combat the seemingly insurmountable threat of the being known as 'The Centre' who is essentially a personification of the 'enemy within' the American people feared at the time. The heroes however succeed in battling against all odds and emerging victorious to become torch-bearers for a new generation of heroism (which sees the rise of the Justice League). What we have is ultimately not just a story about good guys beating bad guys but a deeper story about freedom and of belief in one's self and one's ideals. The characters may be super powered beings, but they are ultimately all human with human weaknesses and strengths.The animation is top notch, with a nice 50's feel to it. The characters are designed to resemble their comic book counterparts from this period. The visuals are stunning and so are the character voices. A particular mention must be made of the scene featuring Batman's debut of the film, where the Caped Crusader is seen engaging a small army of opponents simultaneously; a brilliant exercise in animation! The New Frontier is ultimately, as the name suggests, a new frontier for DC's animation and one can hopefully look forward to more great projects along this line...
