Review of DC League of Super-Pets (2022) by Justmyopinions — 31 Aug 2022

It was more enjoyable than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, the comedy did not land for me say for a few Batman lines but others in my theatre did laugh so you may enjoy the comedy more than I did. I would like to warn parents that a side character does have some censored swears which did catch me off guard on my first viewing.

I also loved the nod to the multiverse with a phone call that implied this movie was not in the mainline universes so you can look at it as though it is canon in one multiverse if you love it. I personally found the villain side characters fun despite my neutral feeling for the heroic pets besides Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart’s roles of course.

I was pleasantly surprised by Dwayne Johnson’s character Krypto, as there were moments where I forgot he was Mr. Johnson which immersed me in the movie much more and I thought his arc was pretty sweet despite being pretty generic.

Despite the positives of this movie, it wasn’t really anything special. I was pretty disappointed with how easily the justice league was dispatched with by the movies main villain but I did find their initial fight scene/introduction enjoyable.

I also did not like how dumb Lois Lane was in the climax which soured my enjoyment of the character. Besides one, there wasn’t any characters I actually hated. The swearing weirdly sexual turtle makes me want to feed turtles plastic straws.

Nothing it said was funny to me and it made me not like turtles. I really wished the sidecharacter super pets got some more development but I’m fine with their role in the story. If you like DC, pets, and/or regular family animated movies, you’ll probably have a fun time.

If you are skeptical of the movies quality, I would encourage you to give it a chance as it was definitely more fun than anticipated. 6/10, better than I was expecting but not great.
