Even when writing this review down I'm still stuck with mixed feelings.

Sure there's entertaining dynamics, and ever so often good animation in particular scenes (Especially the action scenes, very fun to watch). What struck out to me was the plot.

Summary, it feels fast, very fast. All these different arcs from each of the characters were thinly scattered everywhere, hardly any development felt coordinated with the main plot. Most likely this would have been better as a series rather than movie.

Deathstroke and Terra's dynamic was... Well, very uncomfortable. But than again that was purposely done so. Just be prepared for some real creepy scenes if your not fully used to mature themes.

Along with fast pacing, some characters were much better than others. I found Terra as a character just mean for no reason sometimes, there's hardly context to why she's like this, or how the team had managed to tolerate it. Raven and Robin have way less screen time compared to the other films, Beast-Boy and Blue beetle were doing there own things and had the most character development out of the rest, and Starfire and Nightwing had the best dynamic both comedically, and seriously. Though Nightwing get's butchered, again, in action scenes.

The villains had memorable moments, though the finale was quite predicable, and Brother Bloods defeat was certainly rushed through to focus more on Deathstrokes fight between Robin and Nightwing.

Overall, average movie, felt anticipated to watch the continuation, just for the sake of getting answers to the bundle of questions this movie left behind.
