Justice League vs. Teen Titans

Let me start off by saying that this is one of the animated DC movies I think looks the best considering it is a direct-to-dvd production. The animation was very detailed and at times felt rather massive in its scope and size.

But I found the title to be deceiving, because there's not much JL vs TT going on in the movie so that was kind of disappointing to be honest. But we get many cool fight scenes between hellish demons and a lot of the mystical elements from Raven and since she is my favorite of the Titans I was satisfied by her as the main focus with her difficul heritage.

A good-looking movie, but still could have been better with a more streamlined plot. Recommendable, but not a must watch.

People should just relax and enjoy the stories, I read some of the reviews and they are just so mean... it is a good story, and the introduction of some good characters, we need this, we need to expand our DCU, The story reminds me a lot the good old times when the Teen Titans were taken seriously in the old cartoons, and back when Young Justice was a great success, I guess the writers need to undust the Teen Titans muscles and get down to business, create more and better stories. I don't like the New 52 a lot, but I can watch this... my complaint, No Green Lantern, no Kid Flash and too little Beast boy-Cyborg interaction!

Damian finally gets the spotlight in a positive way in this movie. The Teen Titans is the perfect place for him. I'm enjoying the continuous storyline and this movie left me wanting more of it. The villain here is pretty much the Devil himself, so things get pretty wild. They handled the battles between the Titans and the League really well. The Titans have fun and likable personalities. The humor is much more present here than in many of the DC animated movies.

The 25th film of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies and the seventh film in the DC Animated Movie Universe. Interesting story with emotional moments, iconic characters' interaction and smooth pacing with excellent action sequences.

Like what was said with 'Teen Titans: The Judas Contract' (which to me was the better film), 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans' may not be among the best of the numerous animated superhero/comic book films, and there are some pretty good to excellent ones out there (as well as some disappointments). Can definitely see why it's divided fans and it's towards the weaker end of the films, but there is a lot to like here.

It is not in the same league as the animated 'Justice League' show, the 2003 'Teen Titans' or 'Young Justice', all three wonderful shows and three great examples of how to do iconic superheroes justice. It's certainly far more preferable than the series 'Teen Titans Go!', that was cheap, poorly written and was basically dumbed down childish stupidity that forgot basically everything that made the original series so great.

There are some not so good points with 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans'. The romantic/love interest subplot was forced and unneeded. The expected big fight indicated in the film's title was too short and anti-climactic.

Not all the characters are particularly well handled. For examples, Trigon is far too ordinary a villain with very little to him and he is poorly utilised, Raven didn't seem developed enough and wasn't compelling enough for a character so heavily focused on and the whole Beast Boy's forms stuff was interesting on paper but was very confused and underdeveloped in the film. Taissa Farmiga sounds like she was phoning in as Raven. A longer length may have helped.

However, there is a good deal to like about 'Justice League vs. Teen Titans'. The animation consists of atmospheric colours, detailed character designs and backgrounds and fluidity of movement. The music has an ideal mix of haunting intensity and jaunty infectiousness.

Really liked the dark grit tone the writing, while adding a little levity here and there to stop it from getting too seriously. The story may be standard and doesn't break new ground, but it's fun and absorbing and goes at a snappy enough pace. The action is thrilling and generally the characters and the interaction intrigues enough. The voice acting on the whole is well done.

Overall, decent but could have been a lot more. 6/10 Bethany Cox
