"Teen Titans Go! To the Movies!" Movie Review

I watched this movie a couple days ago. Before I get into what I thought about it, let me clear the air about how I feel about the series in general. I do not like Teen Titans Go! because it is an utter embarrassment to the original Teen Titans series. They joke too much, have a hard time fighting against villains, if they fight them at all, and like to spend their time doing ridiculous things.

Putting all that in consideration though, I believe what I hate about the series is what made the movie completely work. The whole plot of the movie is a joke in on itself: Robin and the other Titans go to Hollywood to get a movie made about them... so they can be taken seriously as superheroes. 

Which is what the current day is like... if a superhero doesn't have a movie, no one is going to pay attention or care about said superhero. You're not considered a real hero. The jokes are nonstop in this movie, some hit effectively, but a good amount of them are a miss if you're not a little kid.

I found myself swimming through the barrage of jokes at various times in the movie. 

After being denied a movie and getting made fun of by the other superheroes (Justice League), Jade Wilson, the movie director, tells Robin that she'll consider making a movie on him and his team if they had a main villain to fight. This sends them off. The Titans go on a quest to find their own arch-nemesis to get taken seriously. 

Slade comes in with his mind manipulation. I cracked up a few times shamefully at his tricks and how the Titans kept calling him "Deadpool". Plus the joke about his name will never get old, and I chuckle whenever I say his name now.

The singing and rapping was a pleasant surprise. I wasn't ready for the sick beats they laid out and it got me going along with the nonsense easier. I think I'm just a sucker for musicals and having one in a cartoon is the best. The ending number was my favorite.

To enjoy this movie, you honestly cannot take it seriously. It is pure fun and a joyride from start to finish. Plus the mid-credit scene is worth watching the movie in its entirety.
