Teen Titans Go! To the Movies

The Teen Titans cartoon had a rocky start with the fandom, as it was criticized for having an animesque visual style, dumbed-down storylines and relying too much on humor as opposed to the rest of the then-current DCAU, but later amassed a huge fandom who still appreciated the show for what it was, to the point where these particular versions of these characters became iconic. Fast forward a few years later and history seems to repeat itself. "Teen Titans GO!" is the series that replaced the previous show and suffered from the same criticisms yet also has garnered a huge fandom. Full disclaimer: I haven't really watched the show this movie is based on. I watched an episode or two and was turned off by the excess of silly humor and lack of actual heroics. And you know what? That's fine, not all superhero shows have to be the same, but I figured it wasn't for me, so I let it pass. But then the movie came out. While I had absolutely no interest in it, they actually did something that made me buy it. Years ago I promised myself that if Nicolas Cage was ever cast as Superman, I'd pay to see it, and what do you know? This movie did just that. I confess I was a little wary as I popped this disc into my console and started to play it, but a few minutes passed, and I was all in. This movie is silly, yes, the animation is, for the most part, simple, and the basic story is generic, but it's actually quite entertaining and humorous. While not all the jokes land, at certain points it is actually pants-wettingly hilarious. And, while obviously the level of entertainment kids will get out of this is different from what adults will, there's a lot of humor directed exclusively to the latter that kids will be entirely unable to pick up. What's interesting is that this movie takes the major complaints about the show (too much goofiness, not enough heroics) and makes solving them its central plot. The nature of those issues coupled with the middle-credits revelation really makes it look like, rather than being a product of listening to complaints, this had been their plan all along. Looks like the writers have been playing the long game, in a majorly risky way, and it certainly seems to have paid off. As an aside, this movie is a boon for any DC fan. There's quite a lot of obscure jokes and references to the larger DC universe, and I even caught a reference to a popular webcomic that makes a lot of Batman jokes. While it'd be the cynical response to think this movie is a cash grab based on a fad, I think it's pretty clear the writers have done their jobs and are looking to entertain. So, I really liked the movie and I'm looking forward to the twice-teased sequel. It's a recommendation from me.

I can't lie, I grew up watching the original Teen Titans show and was originally iffy on the concept of Teen Titans Go, with its different animation and departure from the serious storytelling the original had. But watching the Teen Titans Go show was nothing but a great time; it's a crazy funny show. The movie takes everything that makes Teen Titans Go great and dials it to 1,000. It's very similar to The Lego Batman Movie, in that it's very self-referential, has a joke almost every five seconds and is an absolute joy to watch the whole way through multiple times. When the characters aren't spouting one-liners, there's a background visual gag that'll have you laughing, or a subtle reference that'll have comic fans giggling endlessly. Seriously, this movie is a blast for both kids and adults.

Kiddo unexpectedly ordered this, but turns out it is a great movie that was watched repeatedly.

As a point of context, I didn't really watch the 2003 Teen Titans TV show, nor Teen Titans Go. I've heard things about both shows, but for the most part, this is a review will be for it on its own. As a movie by itself, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies might be the best spoof movie made since the days of Naked Gun and Airplane. The best thing about the movie is the writing and how tight it is with its comedy. It covers the full spectrum of spoofing superhero movies, action movies, and animated movies in how it uses tropes and references to enhance the narrative and comedy. As for the rest of the movie, that's more of a mixed bag. The animation feels more like a TV movie than a theatrical feature, however it's also clear the animators pushed the limits of what had to give a fountain of creativity. The characters are mostly inconsistant and feel less like characters and more like tropes, which is the double edge sword of making a spoof movie. The only exception to this is Slade, who makes a fantastic foil to the titans and I think people would like TTG if he was in there as the straight man. Also, the songs of 'My Superhero Movie' and the Teen Titans Rap are absolute ear worms. To conclude Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a nice change of pace along with a decent surprise as a movie. Sure not all the jokes work and the characters aren't very strong in a film's narative. However, it more than makes up for that thanks to its clever writing, well paced humor, and animation that pushes its creative boundries. If you enjoyed films like The Lego Batman Movie, or the Spongebob Squarepants movies, you'll probably enjoy this.

This was a gift for my daughter, she's a fan of the Teen Titans Go. The item was in new condition, excellently priced and my daughter was happy to receive the movie.

TL;DR (Too, Long; Didn't Read) Version We're a huge fan of the early 2000s older Teen Titans, but this light-hearted version hits all the right notes. That's right DC "Titans", no one wants or asked for a 'darker' Teen Titans. The good - The Easter Eggs are fun to watch. - All the cast in the movie nails their character perfectly. - Although the movie is targeted at younger kids, older youth, parents, and young people will enjoy this movie. The bad - There are some pacing issues where the story drags in some scenes, but it is very minor. Final Verdict: A perfect film to enjoy with the family, a date night, or even alone in your room with a bag of chips.

Good movie funny

Un film incroyablement drôle !

iTunesストアでレンタル視聴後、購入しました。 TTGO!のアニメが大好きで昨夏この映画が公開してからずっと日本国内で観たいと待ち望んでいました。トレーラームービーで見ていた以上に期待を超えてきたので、AmazonでBDを購入。手に入れることが出来てとても嬉しいです。 アニメシリーズはキッズ向けの色が強いですが、この映画は大人のDCコミックスのファンにとっても十二分に楽しめる作品です。 DCヒーローオールスター感謝祭レベル。マイナーなヒーローチームも出てきます。 キッズ向けの笑いはもちろんですが、分かる人には分かるような自虐ネタや笑いも充実しています。2004年のティーンタイタンズアニメが好きだった方にも、是非最後まで見て頂きたいです。 言語は英語とスペイン語のみ。 日本語吹き替えや字幕はありません。

Bought this for the kids for family movie night. They are huge fans of TTG. They LOVED it and often laughed their heads off. They got all the references. Us parents are not fans of TTG but enjoyed a few of the references to DC universe. Lots of singing and base humor. A hit with the kids!

My boys LOVED this movie so much we bought one for their cousins too. If you have Teen Titans fans at home, this movie is great. Even my husband and I had several big laughs. Had some good music in it too!!
