Teen Titans Go! To the Movies Film Review

Finished watching Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, director by Peter Rida Michail and Aaron Horvath and starring Greg Davies, Scott Menville, Khary Payton, Hynden Walch, Tara Strong, Greg Cipes, Nicolas Cage, Halsey, Lil Yachty, Jimmy Kimmel and Will Arnett. The film opens with the Titans fighting the villain Balloon Man (Greg Davies) as Robin (Scott Menville), Cyborg (Khary Payton), Starfire (Hynden Walch), Raven (Tara Strong) and Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) are unable to bet the villain when they become distracted by their own song that introduces each of them after Balloon Man asks who they are. After the Superman (Nicolas Cage), Wonder Woman (Halsey) and Green Lantern (Lil Yachty) put a stop to the villain, the heroes head to a film premiere which the Titans soon discover that they are the only heroes uninvited which prompts them to sneak into the film where Robin soon realises that he isn't being represented and leaves upset when Batman's (Jimmy Kimmel) own equipment is getting a film before him. This then leads to the Titans to try to get their own film but first are in need of an archenemies who they try to find in the form of Slade (Will Arnett) how is using the premier as a distraction to put his own sinister plan into motion which the Titans try and stop every chance they get with the hope that it might create interest for their own film. Overall this was a good film as the comedy while at times don't always hit, when it does it is very funny thanks to the references to pop culture and the wider DC Universe which the film is able to make some great visual gags as well. While the action set pieces are put together amazingly well thanks to the film's animation style which is able to create some amazing shots and angles within the scenes which are able to showcase each character's own powers and abilities extremely well. There is a great amount of character development for the Titans within the film thanks to the events that transpire within the film of how they become fractured at one point in the film before coming back together when Robin discovers Slade's true plan. While some of the musical numbers within the film are used to a great effect especially with some of the reprised song such as the song that Robin used to pitch is own film is has its lyrics repeat by Slade to rattle Robin and the Titans own theme is also reprised but with the heroes working together to the defeat the villain rather than being distracted which helps to show how their characters have developed over the course of the film. 7.5/10.
