Likes : Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, directed by Ethan Spaulding, written by Heath Corson as well as Geoff Johnson was an exciting and entertaining animated film. Though Aqua-man has made many appearances in the Justice League Animated Series, this was the first time he stared in his own animated feature film that shows his origins.
Set not so long after the first film justice league war when dark seid attacked the city when these hero didn't really know each other that well, this is set just after these events showing the origin story of Arthur curry aka aqua man before he became king of Atlantis, there is a lot of Shakespearian twists in this sequel animation film which add a bit of flare to the story-line.
Unlike most Warner Bros DC Animated Films, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis focuses more on a monarchic power struggle which was quite refreshing as it had a classical approach of a future king of Atlantis who dosent know who he is until he is force to discover that he has a whole new life & destiny before him. Be that as it may, there were still plenty of realistic action scenes as Arthur Curry along with the flash ,green lantern, wonder woman, cyborg ,shazam,batman & superman fight an abundance of foes which is alway great for these animated feature films. Furthermore, the animation was absolutely brilliant like the justice league war film was, While some might complain about the level of graphic violence this is a DC film after all not marvel lol , I personally believe this level of carnage creates a convincing atmosphere which has made DC animated films more enjoyable to watch.This is totally worth checking out if you were a fan of the first film justice league war, you wont be disappointed with this one.

Dislikes : Nothing wrong with this film

Overall : Brilliant animation film, brilliant story-line to follow the first worst checking out if your a fan

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8.8 out of 10 for origin story of aqua-man
