Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018)


Director: Aaron Horvath, Peter Rida Michail
Stars: Greg Cipes, Scott Menville, Khary Payton
Runtime: 84 minutes

Synopsis: A group of superheroes make it their mission to star in their own Hollywood film.

  • Animation: 4/10
Why? Based on a TV show called "Teen Titans Go!", the movie's animation looked exactly like it, which honestly doesn't really work on the big screen. It felt more like a TV production that belongs on Cartoon Network, and maybe should've been that.
  • Performances: 5/10
Why? They were okay, I guess. There wasn't a standout voice performance, but some worked more than others. 
  • Screenplay: 1/10
Why? "Teen Titans Go! To the Movies" is by far my least favorite superhero movie of the year. The narrative was incredibly flawed, and the jokes didn't land at all. I don't even see kids enjoying the film, as it's far too dependent on references to films they may not be familiar with (like "Back to the Future" or "Deadpool"). The film takes a lot of cheap shots and tries to be smart without succeeding at all. Yet another miss by DC. 
  • Editing: 4/10
Why? Despite it being only 84 minutes long, the film was filled with scenes that were only there for comedic purposes and didn't advance the narrative whatsoever.
  • Cinematography: 2/10
Why? Was it even taken into consideration when doing the movie?
  • Score/Soundtrack: 3/10
Why? I liked the first song... and that's pretty much it.


FINAL GRADE: 2/10
