Justice League vs. Teen Titans (2016)

I'll tell you why so serious

Don't listen to the negative reviews

A Disappointing Continuation

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

It's not perfect just like any movie but, there's some good old school titan nostalgia here and there. The way Trigon was shown when he takes form is okay but, it doesn't live up to the characters power and how unstoppable he can be. Not to mention they never fight the JL, just one at a time and only a few. I was hoping to see Robin vs Batman, Raven(or Starfire) vs Wonder Woman, stuff like that. So the title is misleading and that's annoying. However, that doesn't stop everything from being great.I really loved it when Beast Boy looks sick for a second and then learns how to morph into all the animals of that world(or that he was near maybe). After that he uses the new forms to take out plenty of other things attacking them and that's the other thing. The action in this movie was just phenomenal.

To summarize, Robin was unlikable and got the most screen time. Very misleading title (the titans only fight justice league for 3 minutes at most). Too much time was wasted on scenes that contributed nothing to the characters or story. Superman did most of the fighting. Very anime-like and not very comic-like. Bad writing when introducing new powers or character development. The story was rushed, and had an easy-solve ending. I'm not going to write out my full review, but I'll leave a link to my youtube video if you want a play-by-play. The movie was okay when watching, but when you're done and think back on it, you realize everything they did wrong, and would probably not watch again.watch full review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od_zIelpwqo

Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.5/5 starsThe DC animated universe introduces us to some engrossing new characters and plot elements with "Justice League vs. Teen Titans", the recent, exciting adventure in their entertaining DTH-video series.Fusing traditional Justice League superheroes like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyborg against a bunch of upstart adolescent crime-fighters, and pitting them against each other could easily have turned out to be a convoluted muddle, a la "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", but some fairly solid writing by Bryan Q. Miller and Alan Burnett, and more than a few innovative and pulsating action sequences envisaged by Director Sam Liu (Batman: Year One, Justice League: Gods and Monsters) make this a breezy ride that's guaranteed to whet your appetite for some plain, simple, no-holds- barred fun. If you still desire to see DC superheroes battling each other, this is a far more rewarding investment than "Dawn of Justice".As is the norm with these movies, "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" is short and snappy, clocking in at about 75 minutes, which means its themes are mostly presented on the surface, with little time for any deeper exploration. Nevertheless, this latest offering from DC's popular and highly entertaining animated universe – the only avenue where they still score over Marvel – has an enjoyable comic-book appeal, and it sets up the Teen Titans nicely for their own series of screen escapades.

I had been really looking forward to this title, as I was a fan of both "Justice League" and "Young Justice". Unfortunately, this really falls flat. It was certainly not what I was expecting.For starters, it was disappointing to see the JL operating with an incomplete roster, with Green Lantern and Aquaman missing. The opening scene, where mention is made that they're fighting The Legion of Doom, piqued my interest briefly. This was far from entertaining though as there were only 4 villains involved, without a Black Manta, Giganta or Sinestro anywhere to be seen.My interest again returned when the image of Titans Tower appeared. Sadly, once again, a mere cast of 4 uninteresting and somewhat flat Titans appeared, with irritating character voices and 2 dimensional personalities. So in short, the characterization was really poor in this movie.As an adult, I found some scenes embarrassing and cringe worthy to watch, and chose to Fast Forward the entire carnival scene. Maybe this movie was made to appeal to children, but I have felt more comfortable watching "The Challenge of the Superfriends".By the time the final battle happened, I was already checking my Facebook messages on my iPhone, and wondering what housework needed to be done.I really wanted this movie to be better, but truthfully, this was a really poor effort. When you hear that the two greatest DC superhero teams are battling each other, you expect fireworks. Unfortunately this provided less sparks than a wet Roman Candle.
