An Overstuffed Yet Thrilling Return to Form

#justiceleaguecrisisoninfiniteearthspartone BRIEF THOUGHTS:

After some iffy entries in the DC Tomorrowverse, I'm ecstatic to report that Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part One is a damn good superhero multidimensional crossover with Barry Allen/Flash being the emotional core of the movie. It's very overstuffed and there's a lot going on, but as a part one of a larger trilogy, it mostly works. Not every Justice League member gets equal screen time and Wonder Woman's role is noticeably given the short end of the stick. This was a much better Flash movie than The Flash 2023 in my book. Matt Bomer does an excellent job voicing Barry Allen/The Flash and brings a ton of sincere humor and emotion to the scarlet speedster. The music by Kevin Riepl is also far more engaging and immersive than the soundtrack from most of the Tomorrowverse films and the animation is tolerable. If you have watched DC animated shows and movies since your childhood, I can definitely guarantee there's a few moments in here that'll bring you back to the early 2000's. A much needed win for DC animation and promises even better things to come.

RIP George Perez
