Intriguing Yet Lacking
31 December 2010
Warning: Spoilers
I finally got around to seeing this movie, and let me warn you die-hard fans I have not read the graphic novel, so I'm judging this solely as a film. I'm happy to report Clancy Brown is Lex Luthor, and both Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly reprise their roles. The animation is different than what I'm used to, but I grew accustom to it. The action is, as expected, is relatively entertaining and non-stop. Powergirl, voiced by Even Allison by the way, stars in this one, and despite this being aimed at primarily kids those E cups easily stand out in any scene. If this had been live action, it would've been ridiculous yet funny, but as a DC animated short I'll let it go.

My problem with this film, as with many DC flicks, is that it is way too damn short. Even though I haven't read the graphic novel, I'm under the impression there was a lot more substance than in this 70 minute movie. This is all action, spliced with "political intrigue" (as the DVD boast), and Powergirl's ridiculously large breast. I suppose the small ones may be pleased, but I assume the casual and die-hard fans alike will feel a bit unsatisfied.
