Justice League: Warworld is a huge misfire for the tomorrow-verse, wasting an interesting concept on an enjoyable but completely pointless 90 minute adventure that's made worse by some hilariously awful set up for the next crisis in this universe.
Taking away the identities of the League and putting them each in a different environment is a superb idea if they actually chose settings and stories that were linked to who these characters are deep down but these feel so random. Superman's comes closest as it almost tests what truth, justice and the American way really means.
Still, there's some funny be had in seeing Wonder Woman battle Jonah Hex in the Wild West and Batman fight a giant snake. Jensen Ackles, Darren Criss and Stana Katic are all fine here but really aren't given much, no arcs, no chemistry but they sound like their characters.
The animation is good, since all of these use the same style it kinda gets less impressive as they go along but it's by no means bad and still an improvement over the previous one. The pacing isn't good as it goes from an overly long first act into rushed a third act but it's rarely boring.

Close in terms you try something different and it takes time to understand, Far because it gradually gets boring. Im a die hard JLA fan and didnt believe i would ever hit the ff button in a JLA movie.
DC has given us some really good ones and you have the playing field to do that with the characters and their powers. Doom and crisis on 2 earths are some such amazing works. But here it just like another simulation favoring a few characters. I say it time and again, the martian is ithe most underutilized character in DC considering his powers.
Hope to see better over time. This was a fine offering but doesnt utilize its full potential and is watchabe but a bit dull. DC fans go ahead but dont expect too much.
Present rating of 5.5 is precise.

DC has always been king when it comes to animation but for some reason the tomorrowverse ( all the movies after JLD Apokolips War) has been a huge disappointment and JL war world is no exception. The movie doesn't feel like a movie, it feels more like an episode. The animation style of this new universe is not my favorite, however, that's very subjective so I wouldn't take points off for their animation style. The writing and plot line in the other hand does take points off for me. The ending seemed rushed and story and character mini arcs didn't really make me fall in love or appreciate any of them more. I think DC doesn't understand that writing good character arcs and plots isn't just important for the movie itself, but also for the IP and brand in general. If you make me love the characters, I can be the loyal customer that I once was, the one that would buy your movie tickets, toys and games no matter what. But that customer has been lost because you guys just keep giving us bad writing and not listening to fans.
It is like the department sacked everyone and employed some lame writers and illustrators. The story is all over the place and is incoherent, there is no reason why any of it is going on or what for.
This is the poorest DC movie I have seen and to be honest they are normally excellent, the Flashpoint, Batman and all the Superman animated stuff has excelled. I just hope this is a single misfire and not they way DC is going to go and end up like their movie releases, otherwise they are going to find themselves with a lot less people who will be interested in these types of movies.
Come on DC you can do better.

The DC Animated Films have always been a mixed bunch, but their newest addition, Justice League: Warworld, falls on the lesser side of quality. With an anthology type set-up, each story feels bland and emotionless, not providing much excitement or engagement. The voice acting is stiff and feels like a table-reading, instead of the final take. While the animation is fine, it has no expression and feels very standard. All the elements begin to feel boring before the first story is over and with nothing special in between, the ending could not come quicker. The R rating proved to be completely pointless, as nothing is done with it and it looked like just an excuse to have a Justice League film that includes some blood. Hopefully the new direction of the DCEU can provide a higher quality in the animated films too.

I've watched all of the Tomorrowverse movies, each of the getting worse and worse. This was by far the most terrible. The way it throws you into WW's story without context. The malformed characters and weird character choices - Jonah Hex is an anti-hero, not a cold-blooded murder; Diana just lets a husband and wife die and then rushes to save the daughter, when she could have easily saved all 3. Later, she has her hands in the air at gunpoint when earlier she deflected bullets. This is just a piece of the nonsensical writing on display here. She's also has this strong Eastern European accent for some reason? I get she did it for her intro movie. Justice Society: WWII, but it makes no sense here which is later in the timeline.
And don't even get me started about the completely abrupt ending. Who is in charge of this mess??

I've always been a huge DCAU fan, but this is one of the worst animated superhero movies I've ever seen. It was agonizingly boring and dumb. That animation cell shading style didn't do it any favors either. If you somehow manage to get past the first 20 minutes without turning it off from boredom than kuddos to you. I'm not exactly sure what DC is doing or why they are dropping the ball like this. They've had missteps before but this is just terrible. It's difficult for me to think of another superhero animated movie that is worse than this, even Wonder Woman Bloodlines was better than this hot garbage.

Ok, DC fans, you need to see a bigger picture here. Every time you run into a DC anime that isn't following the same old boring style, you rate it poorly and whine about whatever. That's nothing but being childish, whiney, and narrowminded. Warworld was a breath of fresh air, along with The Doom That Came to Gotham, Soul of the Dragon, the latest Catwoman, Injustice, Batman Gotham Knight, and Green Lantern: Beware My Power. I like that these cartoons are taking a different approach and deal with more obscure topics. The darker they get, the more I like it. I don't get what's there not to like about Warworld. You have several intertwined stories involving favorite DC characters. Though they don't seem connected at first, it all comes down in the end and fuses into a huge plot. I rate this 8/10. Hope they do more of these cartoons. Overall, it's an excellent movie with awesome ending and thoughtful story lines.

I've always said DC animated moves beat any live action even MCU, but since this "tomorrowverse" started it's just poor.
We want adaptations of our favourite stories, I thought seeing Bruce dressed like that we'd get the return of Bruce Wayne story. But nope!
The stories just suck.
I've been waiting for a Batman contagion/cataclysm No man's land story for years. Superman worlds at war, even a proper warworld story.
Seeing the name I expected a good movie with mongul and warworld but no this is what we're given.
The writers cannot write wonder woman We need stories that matter.
I know we're getting crisis movie but follow that with flash rebirth, GL rebirth, blackest night, give us a nightwing story that we all want.
A proper character story just not batman (ironic as I want no man's land)
DC have a sold 40 years of great stories ( pre 80s was bad in general)
I can't see what this story is from, seems original, but we don't want original, we want animated versions of what we love to read.

Ever since JL Dark Apokolips War they haven't really made a good adaptation. Why are they even bother to make these flops. The story is obviously rushed like other animations before. The only good thing about this movie is the voice acting,they did a good job. This movie has many story lines but executed poorly and failed to make conclusion out of it. DC animation department need to slow down things before making everything a flop,especially Crisis on infinite Earth movie on their way or its gonna be worse than the Injustice movie we got.
Overall its an average movie with rushed ending and rushed story lines. If you don't got anything to watch give it a try else skip it.

I remember my self excited waiting for the next one at the end of every DC animated movie up until the the end of JLA Apokolips War and it's saga. Then the Tomorrow Verse came and... I lost passion for the DC movies. I don't like the style of the animation (I know it's subjective but I REALLY don't like it), the story are uniteresting for my taste and I don't feel anything that pull me back rewatching it or even watching it right after it comes out... sometimes I waited for months after it came out before I decided to seat down and have a look at it. Never happened with the previous adaptation. I watched this one so early just because one of my friend had it and we watched together. Not even looking for what's next. Voices are good, design is technically good I think , even though I don't like it... simply not for me.

It feels like DC bought three adventure short stories and decided to plug their most popular characters into the main roles.
The animation is up and down. The lighting in the last black and white story in particular is great. At time we see the best of modern computer animation, but at times illustration and character animation itself is underwhelming and looked like an episode of Archer.
In the end, It feels like they just should have taken one of these stories and fleshed it out into an entire movie. Or better yet, just animated one of their established stories.
On their own, each short is fine, but in the grand scheme of DC, it just leaves you wondering why?

DC have had a long string of very bad movies and even more horrendous TV shows, but their cartoons and animated series has generally speaking been very good. DC animations have beaten Marvel over and over again, and many of them are classics that belong in any collection. This however... this... omg... this is so bad, so so bad.
I do not even know where to start. This is is completely disjointed with horrible animation. The story is all over the place and for some reason all the stories and side stories are supposed to come together but they never really do. Towards the end I was just angry of the waste of time.
This feels so rushed and badly written that the movie should win some kind of "worst of the worst" award. This is what you should show aspiring writers, cartoonists and animators so they know what not to do.
A very generous 2/10 because the voice acting is pretty good, but this is the bottom. No, this is what you find below the bottom of the barrel. Stay away.

A series of beautifully animated, overly bloody, poorly written and totally inconsequential stories that culminate in a disjointed ending that ultimately serves no purpose.
I'm genuinely not sure there's been a properly good DC Animated movie since the Flashpoint series, although the standard of the new voice acting is excellent and overall the animation quality is higher than it used to be, but the last few have been so incredibly lacklustre that it really makes no sense why they're putting money into these stories instead of further Elseworld adaptions or any of the million excellent Batman/Superman standalone graphic novels.
If you've got 90 minutes to burn, this one is fine, but it really doesn't add anything if you've got fond memories of the adaptions of 10 years ago.

I had no idea what this was about other than a DC animation. It follows no rules. It has wonder woman, Jonah Hex, Batman, Superman and others in different eras such as western, fantasy, detective noir etc.
I like that it's wild and brutal and you don't know what to expect. I prefer the animation movies to the marvel live action films and this is interesting that it's something different. It's definitely not for kids with some brutal deaths. There is a few different stories all mixed in together, the middle story has a conan the barbarian vibe. It's never going to be classic but it's something different and just enjoy it for what it is. I don't understand all the bad reviews, it's an animated movie. It's definitely a 6+ minimum. I rated it higher to counteract all the bad reviews. I'll watch any new animated content from marvel and DC. Just watch it and don't listen to the negative reviews.

In the old west, Wonder Woman ends up battling Jonah Hex to save the townfolks. On Skartaris, Batman is taken by the forces of King Travis Morgan. He offers to lead them to wizard Deimos' castle for gold and freedom. It's the 1950's in town of Grovers Mill. Federal agents Clark Kent and King Faraday are sent to a mysterious UFO site. They meet highway patrol officer Bruce Wayne and various witnesses including Diana Prince at a local diner.
I like the individual imaginary stories. It's the overarching story that is a bit too disjointed and detached. The last act is more of a struggle. I wouldn't mind developing the other three stories into elseworld stories. It's not as good as a progression or continuation story.

DC maybe hasn't been that fortunate with it's live action movies but the animation films always has been a spot on ... but what the heck is this garbage ?
What line of order or gap this is supposed to be filling i wonder , if you think you're getting some excitement or any fun whatsoever then believe me you gonna waste your time with this one.
The only thing that i actually like to see is the Batman voice "Jensen Ackles" i would really love to see him as a real action Batman as he in my opinion impersonate the character very good as i've seen in his previous work especially as "Soldier Boy" in The Boys.
Back to the subject, at this point i really feel sorry for DC as a fan and i find little to no hope at this point that they will ever get back on track.

After ''Justice League Dark: Apokolips War'', they decided to start something new. However no one knows what the heck is going on. When did the new animated universe start? How did it start? Where is it going? It's a total mess, people. Bunch of movies with no soul or aim. I literally force myself to watch them. I really miss the old times when they adapted a classic with its own unique art style. In short, don't waste your time with this. You have better options like:
Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker (Original Uncut Version) , All-Star Superman, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns - Part 1 & 2, Batman: Under the Red Hood, The Flashpoint Paradox, Justice League: War.
You're welcome.

I have this friend Mike. Well, maybe he's more of an acquaintance? What is a friend, really?
Mike likes everything. Transformers movies? Loves them all. Yes, all of them. Good Marvel? Bad Marvel? Good DC? Horrible DC? Yup, Mike likes it all. Even the terrible tv adaptations, bad sy-fy scifi, probably junk like 65 or whatever that Adam Driver movie was with the dinosaurs and girl that didn't talk. Great idea, guys. Anyway, Mike likes it. All of it.
Mike did not like Justice League: Warworld. And I need to impress upon you the significance of that as much as I, a random internet person, can possibly do. Because Mike not liking this movie should be the single greatest reason to never, ever watch it.
Godspeed.
