Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Part Two The film is helmed by Jeff Wamester as the director and Jim Krieg as the screenwriter with Krieg, Kimberly S. Moreau as Producers and Butch Lukic, Sam Register and Michael E. Uslan as Executive Producers. This second part allows us to take a more personal approach to certain characters, for example, Psycho Pirate and Supergirl while also enabling us for what is to come in the third part, the end of the story.
In truth, ‘Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part Two’ is impolitely pleasant enough and engaging enough. But said that, there is a considerable amount of the film that is out of context with the original comic book that it is based on there are crossovers under which some moments are embellishment and certain canonical events are modified to make it engaging, and suit this retelling of the story. For that matter unfairly slow however due to the fact that there are three parts to this epic story not that it would be appropriate for anyone to anticipate it, but given the circumstances that there are outlets of missed potential.
That being said, we do discover some interesting things about Psycho Pirate and who he is. Some viewers are most likely unfamiliar with him and what he can do, and it was a nice, though rather unsettling, introduction to the character and his backstory. At this juncture, it’s safe to say that the movie version invented certain details of his life that were taken from the comic book series; however, looking at this through a new lens, it’s a brilliant enhancement in relation to the character. What I find fascinating about the film adaptation is how they go deep into investing in character development trying to make the character worth being appreciated. Whereas I do love the comics over much, I thought that unless you already know them very well, you are not really gonna care about it. Not to say that some of the character role changes from the comics to the movie still contribute to the other side of this story we have always known and loved, but in a good way.
The actors were directed in a way to sound perfect and fascinating and indeed the overall voice acting was on the book with many actors portraying their characters in a fascinating manner. Meg Donnelly, the voice of Supergirl, and Geoffrey Arend who is the Psycho Pirate voice, manage to make you care about the character at a very emotional level.
However, there is a fair bit of talking about their plots in detail for a more cohesive story with exposition, which is not a bad idea as there are portions that consist of the heroes in the action against the villains and shadows. I have to admit, I love the animation style for it soundtracks perfectly with the storyboard complementing it. Kevin Riepl I feel did an amazing job with the music in the scenes as everything fit together and furthermore most importantly all the action makes sense to the story. For some reason, these pieces always feel like they supplement the narrative and they do make some parts sound more significant which they really do not seem to.
This adaptation particularly stands out as it gives more attention to Supergirl as well, and for good reason, lacking in her innocence, let alone her goodness is part and parcel of this storyline as its graffiti gives an account of what she has been through in order to get to where she is. The other fundamental changes to the narrative are her own story arc shifts which see her in this movie and what role she undertakes in the said film. I’ll not the details as to what changes have been introduced and there are quite a large number of those that help to serve the emotional boost.
Crisis On Infinite Earths is entertaining in its second part but it takes far too long to establish a premise for the characters. One the series, some events and some of the great flashing and great aspects of the comic were sort of overused at times, and, when it does, I must confess, It made me giggle and smile, winking at some of its action targets. On how I perceive it, most of the, I think, bulk of this movie did not look like Crisis, regardless, I suppose we are enjoying trying to modernize this classic and that’s what we’re doing at the moment.
As the end approaches, we get our first LOOK into what the heroes of our universe will face when they fight the anti-monitor, and boy oh boy am I excited for the third and final film in the series. It will turn out to be a complete action-filled emotional ride.
