My Thoughts:
This is a TV Movie that came with The Facts of Life: The Complete Fourth Season. It originally aired just a few days before the fourth season. While this movie has a bit of a slow start... it picks up a bit once they get to Paris. Unfortunately it only picks up a little. There wasn't any real laughs in this movie. But I did still enjoy seeing the cast in different surroundings. I am sure I will watch the episodes more often then this movie... but I can see myself watching it every now and then.

Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths , a review by Dragonfire

Justice League: Crisis On Two Earths My Thoughts This one deals with one of the many alternate Earths that DC has created.  I don't know a lot about all that other than that the characters on the other worlds are at least somewhat different.  This movie deals with a version of Earth that is pretty much an opposite from the world where the Justice League is.  Lex Luthor is good and the alternate versions of the superheroes re villains that are part of a crime organization.  I think the story is interesting, though the plot could have been fleshed out a bit more.  There is more attention given to the numerous fights.  The fights don't blend together as much as the ones in Superman/Batman: Public Enemies did.  Even with all the fighting, the violence didn't seem as strong as it has been in some of the other DC animated movies. There are a lot of characters in the movie, and most of them aren't developed that much.  Owlman and Superwoman receive the most attention and they are interesting characters.  The voice cast all does well with the voices of the characters.  The animation is done well.  Things - including characters - do have a slightly different look.  The movie has been released on DVD and Blu-ray.  There is a first look at the next DC animated movie, Batman Under the Red Hood which looks interesting.  There are also looks at some of the previous DC animated movies.  There is a featurette on the second disc that I haven't taken the time to watch yet. I enjoyed this movie and think it is worth watching for people who like superhero movies.  People who have enjoyed the previous DC animated movies should give this one a chance. I would have rated this one 3.5 stars at Epinions if I had the option.  Since I didn't, I decided to round up to 4. I did post a review on Epinions. Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

This series is a complete blind buy for me. I haven't even heard of it before. This first episode was okay, and it suggests that the series might be interesting, but it wasn't really a must-see so far.
