Review of Teen Titans Go! To the Movies (2018) by Player2-Water — 10 Nov 2018

E-Value: 9.

Acting: 9.

Plot: 9.

Based on the animated series of the same name, this is the very first Teen Titans movie to have a theatrical release. Technically, this is actually the third movie in general for the Teen Titans because the first two movies, Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, were released as a TV movie for the former and a direct-to-video movie for the latter.

Set in the same universe as the animated series, the Teen Titans are regarded as jokes and not being real superheroes by many characters including the Justice League and Deathstroke (Arnett). Since most of the Justice League members such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman have their own movies, Robin (Menville) suggest to the team that they should have their own movie as well to prove to everyone that they are not a joke.

The team travel to Warner Bros. Studios to find a director who can make them a movie. They find a woman named, Jade Wilson (Bell), who has made many superhero movies. Unfortunately, Jade refuses to make a movie about Teen Titans because they are not real superheroes and no archenemy. To prove Jade wrong about the team not being a superhero, they decide to get Deathstroke to be their archenemy.

As much as fans of the original 2003 Teen Titans animated series hated Teen Titans Go!, I can tell you that this movie is totally not bad at all. Although the movie retained the humours and comedy gags from the animated series, it is totally funny than any of the episodes from the series itself. The movie is not afraid to poke fun at themselves including past DC movies.

The plot of the movie is good and it even breaks the fourth wall sometimes which can make you laugh so many times. There are also many Easter eggs and references you can notice throughout the movie including a very surprising cameo which I did not expect at all. Once the credits start rolling, stay for a mid-credit scene. Lastly, this movie is a definitely must watch DC movie not just for having a good laugh but to also wait for the release of another DC movie, Aquaman, in December.
