Well this wasn’t actually terrible! It’s not great, but mildly entertaining and probably even moreso if you are or have kids! However I can’t help but feel like this had the quality of a streaming film. I expect a little better from the Rock and Kevin Hart. It started out pretty rough, but honestly after a bit had some pretty fun moments! Sure, I could tell you what the whole story would be after 10 minutes, and it was a little dumb at times… but it’s fun. I even found some of the jokes pretty clever (especially from Keanu Reeves’ Batman). The voice cast is pretty great, but while Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart are always great together, I found Kate McKinnon to be my favourite! She kills me in anything she does and was especially funny here. I wasn’t a fan of the animation though, it looked quite cheap, and the motion of the character’s movement just looked off. It just felt a little cartoony for a big budget animated film. I also hate when movies use stock sounds of dog barking. It just makes it sound cheap too. The soundtrack was pretty cool though, and I loved the use of the classic Superman and Batman themes. So while this was a little bit of fun, and better than I was expecting, it’s still not great. But, I’m not the intended audience. It’s made for kids, so I don’t wanna bash it too much. After all, the kids in my theatre seemed to love it! Also have to say, didn’t know I needed a scene of the Rock crying while listening to Taylor Swift!
