Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo (2006)

Nice effects though.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Teen Titans: Trouble in Tokyo takes the Teen Titans into their first movie, with a new and challenging villain, and based in the world famous Japanese city of Tokyo, this movie is a very well designed movie for Teen Titans. Although since the shows final episode left us on a cliffhanger, this movie does not resolve the plot in the TV show that it should have. The movie is also designed to be a finale for the show, taking on-going plots from the show and resolving them (Robin & Starfire), but not finishing the cliffhanger many fans would have wanted it to. Despite the movie being a follow-up of the show, the movie in general has a good story to it. After Slade, Brotherblood, Trigon, and The Brain, the Teen Titans are opposing a new and equally evil villain in this movie. I also think the Teen Titans fit into Tokyo very well, with the shows anime-ish style/animation. I give this movie 7.5/10

Thank goodness this exists, because if not, the finale of this show would be the insult that is "Things Change". It might not be a perfect finale like "Lost Heroes: Part Two", but it has enough charm, humor, and action to hold it's own. I'll cover this more when I review the series as a whole, but you can really tell how the Titans have grown. They all have their place in the group, and they're key components to it. The plot's pretty simple, it's not challenging like "Haunted", but it's kind of for the best that they played it safe. Playing it safe kept them from making too many mistakes, and also allowed them to have more fun.

I didn't consider the last episode of the series the best way to end it, though even though this movie has nothing to with the last season it really is a treat for fans, comic fans and newcomers to the series alike.After an attack on there town and Tower by a new villain named Psychotech with the power to regenerate himself, the Titans only lead is the criminals talk of a man known as Brushogun and then shortly he vanishes. Next stop, Tokyo. There the Titans meet a detective with an elite force who's capable of capturing the worst criminals who laughs at Robin's question of Brushogun saying he's just myth and tells them to leave the criminals to the adults. Robin however ignores him and looks more into it and during a fight with the same criminal from back at home and after a long struggle, winds up charged for murder. Now, certain that Brushogun is more than just made up, Robin and the others must get to the bottom of this mystery, clear their names, and deal with some new fighters with powers similar to Psychotech. And Beast Boy thought this would be a vacation....The story, though not as dark as that of Batman vs Dracula, is still one of the darker plots in the Teen Titan series. Though the humor is no different from the series (Beastboy singing karaoke anyone? And the Teen Titans theme no less!). The villains I must say are rather unique and clever. I won't say anything about their powers (exept the regeneration thing) but its interesting.If I had to have a complaint, it would have to be the ending was rather predictable in some points and the fact when the Titans are wanted only Robin goes under cover (I was expecting to see the Titans out of uniform for once, though at least there was Robin). Though those complaints are not worth knocking down the score.Simpley put, a must see for all Teen Titans fans and before I finish, best black and white credits I've ever seen (or in this case, heard). 10/10. Worth the buy!

**Warning: Contains some spoilers** The movie is.. well...perfect. The plot was great, the story was great, always funny and has a little romance.Well it starts with a guy driving a car who stops because some person is in the road. He shoves the car out of the way and continues running down the road. The Titans are on his trail. They stop him and of course he's says he must get back to Tokyo. This is where the Titans need to go to find out what attacked them.The movie begins. An Hour and a half later, Robin and Starfire are kissing and everything is great. I'm not going to reveal everything, but Cyborg eats... a lot. Beast Boy sings and is so-so, but Japanese girls love him and kiss kiss kiss. They love him. Robin goes to jail, Raven finds a book on Broshugon, and Starfire flirts with Robin.Yes, Robin and Starfire kiss. 3 attempts at it, but three times the charm. The first time, Robin says they are just hero's, and shouldn't be "This way". Starfire explains about kissing a Japanese boy, and she says why she kissed Robin in episode "Go". Then when Robin is saved by Starfire, they attempt it again, but the other titans interrupt. Again, Robin is attacked by the Ninja, and by the way, he's not a robot. Not even close. This ninja pulls out swords and cuts Robin and his mask. But we never get to see him without his mask in the movie :(.Anyway, he defeats him, and Robin's hands are covered in red. Japan thinks he's killed someone. Robin is put in jail, where they eventually drive him, and is attacked by the ninja's bomb. Robin says if there looking for him, then he'll have to be someone else. A guy trys to steal his money, so he takes that guy out and takes his outfit. Before we can see him without his mask, he puts on a pair of sunglasses. Cyborg is eating most of the movie.Broshogon isn't the main villain. That's all I'm going to say. They find him in the most obvious spot too.Anyway, Beast boy says he wants to go to Mexico, and Raven slaps him and the movie ends.Anyway, it was fun to watch, and since I'm a big fan, I'd have to give this movie a 10 out of 10. Teen Titans Go!
