Super Disappointing!!
30 October 2022
Thought this would be a fun kid film that adults would also enjoy. I feel it fell short in both departments. As a parent I didn't like the intentional bleeped out cursing, which of course was obvious what word they "censored". What was the point of having this in a kid's film? It made no sense and it wasn't even funny nor fit the script/character. As a kid's film it was average, kids love animals but it's not super funny, or entertaining enough to hold kid's full attention throughout, and wasn't amusing enough to want to watch multiple times. The script was disjointed, super childish/bathroom humor in parts and other parts too adult for a kids movie. Except for a couple, most of the jokes didn't land well. The "villain" was corny and over the top. They, of course, had to make noticeable efforts to please all cultures/identities by changing the race and/or sex of well established superheroes, along with a few other forced additions. As an adult the storyline was tedious, predictable, and sometimes annoying. On the plus side, the actors/voices were great, loved "squeaky Bruce" and Batman scenes, and although it got boring in the middle I enjoyed the ending and I was wishing the entire movie had of been done as well as the ending. Although I didn't hate it, I wouldn't recommend it. This could have been so much better with some clever tweaks but its not even close to the caliber of films like, The Incredibles, The Mitchell's vs The Machines, Sing, Zootopia or Minions...which are good examples of how to make an animation movie enjoyable for both kids and adults, In My Humble Opinion! Note: stay for 2 post credit scenes, one at the very end.
