Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Blistering performances.

I'm not really sure what they were going for here. It seems like they wanted this to be their version of The New Scooby-Doo Movies but it seems like they couldn't get the rights to use any of the characters. They have the Thief Of Zagdad and Dr. Frankenschtein. The Middle Earth episode seems like it was written by someone who had only seem that awful Hobbit cartoon from 1977 or South Park's parody of it. Despite all that, the stories are actually better than most of the Super Friends series. Except the time when Zan and Jayna wake up their stupid monkey because he was snoring. Zan says "You must have been having some dream!". Because he was snoring? ugh

Superfriends was one of the first superhero shows I saw as a kid. I was probably three or four years old. My favorite character was Robin, probably because he was the youngest superhero. Sometimes, my older brother and cousins and I used to reenact the episodes in the playroom. It felt so magical and epic, watching the goodhearted superheroes save people's lives, defeat the bad guys and visit strange worlds. Sometimes the episodes were a bit scary as well, with giant monsters and weird villains, but the episodes always had a happy ending. The episodes I remember the best are the ones from "The World's Greatest Superfriends", like "The Lord of Middle Earth" and "Superfriends meet Frankenstein". I miss good, clean shows like Superfriends, where the heroes behaved like heroes and inspired kids to do good. They didn't torture or kill the villains. The villains didn't have to skin people alive for us to know that they were evil. Shows like Superfriends and He-Man had positive messages and moral characters. What do the most popular shows these days have? Yelling and screaming, weirdness for the sake of weirdness, crude jokes, disturbing images...Fortunately, most of the episodes have been released on DVD. I can finally watch them again, with my own kids. Who knows, maybe they'll reenact the episodes in their own playroom?

What I remember most about this series was "bitter disappointment." The extended members of the JLA (Flash, Green Lantern, etc.) were all but gone, leaving the main team of Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman, and Aquaman with the Wonder Twins and that damn Gleek! I was getting bored. Most of the episodes involved darker menaces, but they made up one-dimensional throwaway villains that I couldn't care less about.There were a couple of bright moments, such as the one where the SuperFriends powers were stolen for a Super-Frankenstein Monster. To stop him, the remaining portion of the heroes energies were transferred into Robin, who used it to single-handedly defeat the monster and save his comrades. This was great because it finally featured Robin as more of a sidekick dependent on Batman, which was the way he had been portrayed in the comics for years. There was another which introduced the mirror universe, with the evil Super Enemies. But did they have to add the mustaches and eyepatches like if they didn't wear them they couldn't possibly be evil? ;)All in all, I avoid this series most of the time.

My all time favorite episode is The Superfriends Meet Frankenstein. All I can say is that it was THE one all time favorite episode of that show, being that Mary Shelley, the original author of Frankenstein, would be stunned and very pleased that the nice people would do a good job in updating the Frankenstein legend for short attention spans. In my opinon, it would also encourage the young people to read the original book at their library or at the bookstore.
