Teen Titans Go! To The Movies Review: 7 Ups & 2 Downs

Ups

7. The Gleefully Self-Aware Tone

Teen Titans Go To The Movies

If Deadpool has proven anything, it's that audiences love self-aware superhero movies that playfully poke fun at both themselves, their competition and comic book fare as a whole.

To that end, nobody will left complaining that this film isn't meta enough. Not more than a few lines of dialogue pass before another delirious reference is made to the World of DC's recent cinematic failures, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Deadpool or the sheer ridiculousness of the current superhero movie boom period.

This is a film about a group of heroes who desperately campaign for their own movie in a world where Alfred, the Batmobile and even Batman's utility belt have their own tentpole blockbusters, for Christ's sake.

If you're a superhero movie fan self-regarding enough to appreciate how absurd the whole circus is, this should leave you in a constant state of hysterics for 88 minutes.
