LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League (2015)

Very disappointing...

A lot of fun.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

It's up to the Justice League to team up with their bizarre counterparts to stop Darkseid and save the galaxy! Lot's of silly stuff make Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League a suprising and well made flick that knows what it is and for who is meant to entertain plus Bizarro League is awesome and there's some great action packed sequences that people will definitely enjoy!!!

Superhero movies are there to inspire our inner-child-dreams of fulfilling that potential which society kept suppressed in order for us to contribute to it.An amateur Lego persiflage of such a superhero movie makes sense because it takes the metaphorical superpowers not serious.But what is the point to simulate the fun of dilettantish Lego puppet games by animating them in 3D including facial expressions? Ah yes, the point of course is for the industry to suck as much money out of the market as possible, just as they did with Wallace and Gromit when the rendered the charming modelling clay animations.But - as pleased as parents are to know that they can drop of their kids in front of such "family-proof" movies - they should reconsider that the times when kids play with glove puppets or rather with the boxes than with the actual plastic-gifts - those are the times when their fantasy is most active and engaged, so that the games are the most pleasant psychotherapy kids could have - reliving their experiences through playing.But spoon-fed stories which don't at all require imaginations or active engagements anymore will make the kids creativity shrivel as much as their sense of self, so that they one day will end up as spineless couch-potatoes who barely get along with todays requirements rather than being innovative and a person of character.And what do such people dream of in the end? Right - of secretly being a superhero. And this is where we came full circle and you could start reading this review from the beginning again.

Oddly unlike all the other Lego DC movies this isn't feature length and only stands at three quarters of an hour in length. Honestly I'm inclined to say that's a good thing.Here we see the Justice League team up with their "Bizzare" counterparts to foil a plan by Darkseid.As you can imagine this is full of silliness and lacks the Lego charm I've gotten used to with the Lego video games.I like the Bizzaro stories and was hoping this would rise above the mediocrity of the others, alas it didn't but still isn't the worst of the bunch.Solid voice talent save it to a degree, but what a waste of Darkseid!The Good:Tony ToddThe Bad:Some real stupidity thrown in there for good measureJokes miss more than hitThings I Learnt From This Movie:I suddenly badly want to see the Bizzaro league in live actionSame thing as above but for Giganta

Troy Baker seems to be fitting the boots of Kevin Conroy as Batman ("Batman: Arkham City"). Nolan North was also brilliant in lending his voice as Superman. The chemistry of Batman and Superman was very nice. I like Batman suspecting Supes through out the movie. Those two really stood out in terms of voice acting. There are laughs for kids especially Lex Luthor stricken with lightening. Unlike most Batman movies, it is a tad on the light side . The fight scenes were tailor-made for the Justice League and the live action was fun. The graphics were dazzling! Khary Payton, as Cyborg, was overacting throughout the movie and was killing the script.My significant digit score: 7.5/10
