If I don’t write this and get it off my mind, this crap will continue to plague my thoughts. The voice acting was ok and so was the animation, it was the story that was the problem.

I didn’t like this movie at all.

Justice League: Throne of Atlantis is a direct-to-video animated superhero movie from the DC Universe Animated Original Movies. This time the focus light is on another of the Justice League ring leader, Aqua Man. It is based on the Throne of Atlantis story arc written by Geoff Johns and it is a sequel Justice League: War (2014).

Do recall that there is a DC New 52 going on and the DC universe has been rocked with remixes happening in the lives of many of the heroes and villains in the DC universe, this movie had some remixes of its own.

Here is the new lingo on Aqua Man, before he was a pure Atlantian who joined Justice League, well to protect the earth. Here in the new 52 plus in this movie he is a wreck looking for some answers, and may I add he is half human and half Atlantian, the story depth I will prefer you watch the movie or read the comics to understand.

The movie’s focus is on the origins of Aquaman, Arthur Curry. Here Curry is a drunk grieving the death of his father. Atlantis on the other hand is being rocked by a coup in progress and Queen Atlanna has sent for his son Arthur Curry to come and lead Atlantis, as she doesn’t trust her son Orm.

My take with this movie is, it could have been better written and maybe not done at all, would have preferred a movie on Aquaman when he was Aquaman, instead of letting me waste a whole hour, watching Cyborg try to reunite the Justice League, who haven’t agreed that they would be known as, The Justice League.

The movie didn’t help when it came to Barry Allen and Hal Jordan. I thought Shazam was the kid in adult clothes, but in this movie it seems he wasn’t the only one skipping school to hang with the guys. They made Flash and Green Lantern behave and think as kids also.

Here is a movie I will like to forget soon, I have gotten rid of any copy of this movie I have lying around and looking forward to a better DC Universe movie.
