LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League (2015)

So much average

A story that's too fascinating to pass by...

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It's up to the Justice League to team up with their bizarre counterparts to stop Darkseid and save the galaxy! Lot's of silly stuff make Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League a suprising and well made flick that knows what it is and for who is meant to entertain plus Bizarro League is awesome and there's some great action packed sequences that people will definitely enjoy!!!

Oddly unlike all the other Lego DC movies this isn't feature length and only stands at three quarters of an hour in length. Honestly I'm inclined to say that's a good thing.Here we see the Justice League team up with their "Bizzare" counterparts to foil a plan by Darkseid.As you can imagine this is full of silliness and lacks the Lego charm I've gotten used to with the Lego video games.I like the Bizzaro stories and was hoping this would rise above the mediocrity of the others, alas it didn't but still isn't the worst of the bunch.Solid voice talent save it to a degree, but what a waste of Darkseid!The Good:Tony ToddThe Bad:Some real stupidity thrown in there for good measureJokes miss more than hitThings I Learnt From This Movie:I suddenly badly want to see the Bizzaro league in live actionSame thing as above but for Giganta

Troy Baker seems to be fitting the boots of Kevin Conroy as Batman ("Batman: Arkham City"). Nolan North was also brilliant in lending his voice as Superman. The chemistry of Batman and Superman was very nice. I like Batman suspecting Supes through out the movie. Those two really stood out in terms of voice acting. There are laughs for kids especially Lex Luthor stricken with lightening. Unlike most Batman movies, it is a tad on the light side . The fight scenes were tailor-made for the Justice League and the live action was fun. The graphics were dazzling! Khary Payton, as Cyborg, was overacting throughout the movie and was killing the script.My significant digit score: 7.5/10

I was pleasantly surprised with the previous Lego DC movie but this one ditches the clever narrative and framing and gives us a very watered-down and simple story.Bizarro (Superman's cloned opposite) tries to do good around Metropolis but ends up only causing mayhem and embarrassment. Supes then takes him to Bizarro World (get used to that annoying word because they use it as a noun for many things) where he can do no harm.In the meantime the Justice League go about their daily crime fighting business uninterrupted. For contrived, and forgettable reasons, the League go back to Bizarro World to fight Darkseid who is threatening to destroy (or at least reconfigure) the galaxy with his opposite ray (or whatever it was) - turning the round moon of Earth into a cube, for example.Bizarro clones his own opposite Justice League and you'll have a hard time remembering who is who because of their virtually identical names, which I am not going to repeat here because I simply cannot be bothered making the effort.It's very poorly written and deeply uninspired. The first movie had its crazy moments it also had smart humor, while this sequel many just goes for stupidity. It's quick and it's easy and it's also insulting to kids who are capable of consuming a better story. The movie is also void of any real atmosphere. The Gotham City of the first movie was on par with The Lego Movie in terms of detail and scope. Here we have a virtually depopulated Metropolis and an empty, barren wasteland planet. It's so boring to look at. You'll get no ideas or inspiration for building any sets from this, although Deathstroke's vehicle is pretty cool for all of the five seconds it is on screen. Composer Tim Kelly also ditches the familiar Batman and Superman themes, instead opting to give us an extremely generic cartoon score.This movie is pure filler, and ends with a cliffhanger for a 3rd which I hope will be a return to form.
