Tagline: Our last hope rests with Earth's mightiest heroes.
Plot: An evil Weather Man intent on destroying New Metro City with a series of malevolent meteorological mishaps? Can the super-powered (and semi-employed) Justice League of America save the day? Or will New Metro be drowned in a humongous tidal wave?
My rating: 5.5/10
Will I watch it again? No.
Yeah, it's bad but it does bring a little bit of entertainment to the table. It was made in the hopes it would become a TV series but the internet says it was deemed too poor to even be aired here in the States. It's corny and dumb and it's obvious that everyone was in on the joke. So take off your judgment glasses and try to enjoy it. It looks like the filmmakers had some hurdles to overcome like a low budget and restrictions on which DC characters they could and could not use. But you do get The Green Lantern, The Flash, The Atom and Martian Manhunter. The others might be DC characters but I wouldn't know. As far as I can tell they were made up. The story is OK at best, the acting is serviceable, the music has some good moments you wouldn't expect in a production like this and there are some jokes that work. The pacing could be tightened up in some spots. That would be a big help. The first few minutes tell you what you can expect. It's not a moldy turd with a cape but it ain't smellin' pretty, either.
