7/10
Surprisingly good
27 April 2010
This is one of the few of DC's animated movies that I have watched and I will say that it was a positive experience. The plot was alright and the story flowed nicely, meaning that the movie did not become boring at any point. The story certainly had something of a darker edge to it that more adult audiences should appreciate.

I do feel like I might have enjoyed the movie better did I not suffer from a lack of familiarity with DC's characters. I don't think I could quite appreciate the similarities/differences between the characters of the two Earths. Of course it isn't possible to give each character the time they would deserve and tell a good story at the same time. That is not to say I felt terribly confused by anything either, just that I think that had I known the characters better there would have been a certain layer of depth added to the story. Then again that same lack of familiarity with DC will of course make me overlook some possible inconsistencies that the plot might have.

All in all I would say that the movie is definitely worth watching, even if you don't happen to know too much about DC.
