LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League
Superman’s clone, Bizarro, has become an embarrassing problem. Chaos and destruction follow Bizarro everywhere as he always hears the opposite of what is said, says the opposite of what he means and does the opposite of what is right. And when the citizens of Metropolis keep confusing Bizarro with Superman, the Man of Steel decides it’s time to find a new home for him…on another planet! It’s up to the Justice League to come to terms with their backward counterparts and team up with them to stop Darkseid and save the galaxy!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Superhero movies are there to inspire our inner-child-dreams of fulfilling that potential which society kept suppressed in order for us to contribute to it.An amateur Lego persiflage of such a superhero movie makes sense because it takes the metaphorical superpowers not serious.But what is the point to simulate the fun of dilettantish Lego puppet games by animating them in 3D including facial expressions? Ah yes, the point of course is for the industry to suck as much money out of the market as possible, just as they did with Wallace and Gromit when the rendered the charming modelling clay animations.But - as pleased as parents are to know that they can drop of their kids in front of such "family-proof" movies - they should reconsider that the times when kids play with glove puppets or rather with the boxes than with the actual plastic-gifts - those are the times when their fantasy is most active and engaged, so that the games are the most pleasant psychotherapy kids could have - reliving their experiences through playing.But spoon-fed stories which don't at all require imaginations or active engagements anymore will make the kids creativity shrivel as much as their sense of self, so that they one day will end up as spineless couch-potatoes who barely get along with todays requirements rather than being innovative and a person of character.And what do such people dream of in the end? Right - of secretly being a superhero. And this is where we came full circle and you could start reading this review from the beginning again.
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.
Reviewed by: Dare Devil Kid (DDK)Rating: 3.5/5 starsBreezy, superhero fun that's especially a treat for kids and adults who grew up on comic books. It harks back to a time that was simpler, more innocent, and campier – akin to the old cartoon shows based on these iconic characters. The animation, too, is more than decent considering that this isn't a staple DC, direct-to-home, video feature, but more of a commercial tie-in with a popular toy franchise.Overall, if you're a fan of superhero movies, comic book enthusiast, or ever played with LEGOs, you're sure to dig this short-and-snappy home- video.
i still don't get the idea that when you have a hit movie and one of the top so far on box office , so you try to sabotage it with mini movies like this !! there was some bits that you can laugh at , yet doesn't justify to make a whole 45 minutes out of it. i mean if you brought back "Emmet" that would'v changed something but again you knew it would destroy the character and make it boring till 2018 ;) !! To be fair, the storyline was flowing smoothly and there was no problem understanding what was going on. The story itself was not that strong, even for an animation but still we had high hopes , but it worked out somehow :P
