Legion der Superhelden

Supergirl in the 31st century fighting alongside bouncing man and triple girl... yea, it is as corny as it sounds.

The voice acting is pretty much great. Meg Donnelly is perfect for supergirl. The story, albeit very simplistic, is okay and we get a movie moving along in a brisk pace with enough action and hero-ism to keep one almost interested.

Sadly this is just boring. Not only does it feel like we have seen this a million times before, but everything is also very predictable, cliche, and lame. The new superheroes of the future are all laughable, and Braniac 5 can only brag about how smart he is every 2 seconds. Man-El was kinda interested, and I love how Supergirl does not hold back in their fight beating him to a pulp.

A 5/10. This is not made for me, but I was decently entertained, so I assume the preteens and teens this was made for probably like this better than I do. Cannot really recommend this, but sure, there are far worst things to watch.

Legion of Super-Heroes could've done with more of focus on the super hero team of the title but it remains a really good adventure that's a lot of fun and connects the wider Tomorrow-verse in satisfying ways that aren't too overbearing thankfully.

Meg Donnelly is a great Supergirl with lots of enthusiasm and some really endearing fish out of water antics. She has also solid chemistry with Harry Shum Jr. Who brings a suitably cold and calculating exterior to Brainiac 5 balanced by a warmer side under the surface.

The animation style carried over from Superman: Man of Tomorrow continues to impress, it still looks really nice and is way more colourful, stylised and detailed than what came before.

The 47th installment in the DC Universe Animated Original Movies, and the sixth film set in the "Tomorrowverse". I still don't like some of the art style in this universe. A decent yet flawed VA performance and somewhat good fight scenes.

I'm always up for another DC animated feature, and while some have been better than others, this particular outing doesn't do it for me. We've got Superman's cousin, Kara Zor-el, come to Earth, no build-up to how she lands and adapts...

Oh, wait, she really doesn't, so Superman decides to take her to the 31st century and she enters a hero academy as a trainee. Yes, THAT Legion of Super-Heroes. And, like the spoiled and self-righteous stuck-up princess she is, she gets into trouble but eventually redeems herself.

On the plus side, the music is okay, the voices are decent enough, and the action sequences are pretty good. On the minus side, how the characters are drawn looks cut-rate to this viewer. It resembles The Man of Tomorrow with black outlines, but somewhat cheaper-looking. The story is all too predictable, and there's little sympathy built up for Kara during the proceedings.

On the whole, this isn't something I can recommend purchasing. I watched it because it's DC and DC superheroes/superheroines rock, but this...it's watchable, but no more. For something better featuring Supergirl, I'd suggest Superman Unbound. Kara is portrayed much more sympathetically in that movie.

Oh, and Arms Fall-Off Boy, he's just a little too creepy for me. Ick.

The DCAU has been an extraordinarily legendary force since its beginning with Batman: Gotham Knight. So powerful in fact that it forced Marvel to give up on animated films for 10+ years. The storylines and animation techniques in the DCAU were the pinnacle. But ever since Apokolips War, this new continuity has absolutely horrendous animation that are setting the DCAU back very far now. All of these fans are complaining about the quality but DC is not listening. Please give us back the animated universe we know and love. It may be a new continuity but that doesn't mean it needs to be a lesser quality of work.
