Don't listen to the negative reviews

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

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?

One of my favorite episodes during this era was the Universe of Evil and I wish they had written a sequel for it to pit the SuperFriends against the Super-Enemies. Would be great to see a sequel. I was a little boy when this episode came out and am now buying some of the Superfriends DVD seasons on DVD. The episode shows Superman being switched with his alternate reality twin and is forced to escape from evil twin duplicates of his Superfriends allies and is forced to turn to a scientist for help. Wish This would happen in Smallville (sort of)and it did sort of when Lex was split in two in last season's "Onyx". I also wish the Superfriends was still being produced.

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.
