Justice League: The New Frontier

Title: Justice League: The New Frontier
Year: 2008 (direct-to-video)
Director: Dave Bullock
Writer: Stan Berkowitz, based on the graphic novel by Darwyn Cooke
Starring: David Boreanaz, Miguel Ferrer, Neil Patrick Harris, Lucy Lawless, Kyle MacLachlan, Kyra Sedgwick, Jeremy Sisto
Music: Kevin Manthei
Length: 75 minutes
Synopsis: the formation of the Justice League in the 1950's
How I saw it: on video (rented from Netflix), April 2008
Subjective Rating: 8/10 (Great).
Objective Rating: 8/10 (points off for dialog and cinematography) c. 2.7/4 (Good).

Much better than most of the crap that passes for super hero movies.  The dialog is corny, but it's the sort of comic book world where it should be a little corny.
