Freedom Fighters: The Ray

My family and I were very excited to watch The Ray. I agree the movie started off great and then came the obvious forced political agenda drama and ruined a good portion of the movie. Very dissapointing for all of us.

Sorry, can't go along with all these negative critics. The DC Animated flicks (nearly) always deliver quality. The Ray is no exception. First of all it's a classic Superhero-Origin-Story about a hero trying to find his place in life and searching for his destiny. But the creators are brave enough to choose a young, mild-mannered gay protagonist, who struggles - besides from handling his new powers - with the values and ideals of his parents. But the movie offers further messages and becomes a reflection of the current social and political developments: A gay superhero fights Nazis on a prallel-earth (this parable can't be illustrated any more clearly and strongly). Besides its' unconventional starting point the movie provides a Terminator-style setting when the resistance fights the New Reichsmen, led by Overgirl, on the dystopian Earth-X. I strongly recommend this flick to every fan of the DC Animated Universe and to every fan of good comics. Conclusion: A bold (and important) addition to the DC Animated Series, which proves the importance of comics as serious entertainment. More please...

The focus isn't the crisis, the focus is on his lifestyle choices and relies heavily on talking points.

If you aren't into alternate lifestyle choices, this show is boring and misdirected.

If you want a superhero story, it's barely there.

I want to enjoy these stories, but this one didn't cut it for me. It was focused on all the wrong things.

When a powerful person threatens a politician to get his way, that's terrorism. They try to excuse it, but it's weak. He did it. Is this how we're supposed to think of these things? That when we don't get our way we should resort to terrorism? Sad, because it really sends the wrong message.

They couldn't use logical arguments or have a rational discussion.

This one was not for me.

For the 1% who want the agenda, this one's for you.

This show is amazing. It has great comedy, action and an amazing storyline. I love the origin of The Ray and I hope to see Russell more in the Arrowverse

I was hoping for greatness, could have been great. Good art. Diverse sets. Awesome crossover heroes with Red Tornado, the transporter kid from Flash TV, a Black Falcon type dude, others. The alphabet soup killed it, cost it 5 stars: both distracting and silly. Just pass. Too bad.
