So this plays in an alternate version of the well known DC universe. Superman is the son of General Zod, Batman is actually some version of Man-Bat, and Wonder Woman is Bekka from the New Gods. They form the three person Justice League, but a more cruel and consequent version of it - including killing and a egotistical attitude.
After swallowing this premise, the movie unfolds pretty much like most of the other DC Animated movies - which I still won't spoil. It pretty much means that the story is on par with earlier endeavours, however it seems like it has less scale or importance.
I'm a conventional guy when it comes to comics, so I was not really happy at the beginning with this set up. However, the character versions actually grew on me. For such a short movie, they actually developed a backstory for each main character quite well, making their actions somewhat motivated and relatable. The character designs worked for me (especially Superman).The voice acting was very well in my opinion, up there with most of the other DC animated movies.
The animation is good quality - nothing breathtaking, but quite enjoyable. Choreography of fight scenes is lacking though - pretty much reminded me of the Justice League TV Animated Series and nothing compared to the likes of Wonder Woman, Crisis on Two Earths or Under the Red Hood.
The mystery on who the main villain is was in my opinion well constructed, even if it was quite foreseeable. However, the wrap-up at the end seemed quite rushed and the scale was just not there - it did not seem that menacing and grand scale.
In general, I was not as impressed with it than with other examples of the DC Animated Movies, but it was a better than average one. It had more heart than the recent Justice League: War and the characters resonated more with me, even if they are not the real Justice League versions.
I'd give it a 6 on my scale.
