Hello there comic fans , animation fans and film fans the Dc Superhero Girls brand has been going since 2015 and was launched with a animated web series and has spawned two animated films and has an upcoming TV series which is due to air in 2018 so let's take a look at the brands third movie and there first Lego movie Lego DC Super Hero Girls: Brain Drain.
The plot of this movie is someone is brainwashing the superheroes and it's up to Batgirl , Wonder Woman and Supergirl to find out who it is and what they want and stop them. I give this movie for coming up with a decent story that did actually keep me engaged however i have to mention that since the film is an hour and fifteen minuets long there's a lot of rushed moments and messages which i thought hurt the film.
The cast from the web series all reprise there roles in the movie and those are Anais Fairweather as Supergirl , Grey Griffin as Wonder Woman , Ashlyn Selich as Batgirl , Romi Dames as Lena Luthor and Mona Marshall as Eclipso. I actually enjoyed the cast in the movie altho i do have a few things to say it sounded like Anais's voice was getting tired during the movie and she started to sound alot like Cree Summer and the other thing was almost whenever Grey Griffin was talking i only heard Daphne from Scooby-Doo and i will say that more cast are listed but almost none of them get a speaking role and yes Tara Strong is great in this movie as Harley.
In terms of animation i have to say that the filmmakers did an ok job and by that i mean there's a few scenes or shots that looked a bit dodgy to me but the quality overall was really good i got the impression that Warner Bros and The Lego Group were growing more confident with there movies and for me that's a great thing and they also give Harley alot of great facial expressions which were hilarious.
I have to say that this film had a lot of great funny moments i laughed out loud a few times especially early on in the movie where there's a great fourth wall joke which i won't spoil because it's really funny but tho sadly the film also has a habit of putting in jokes during serious moments which took me out of the film and sadly there's also a burp joke which are never funny at all.
It's not often that i get to talk about the action scene's in these direct to DVD Lego movies but the action in this movie i thought was really well done and was also creative as we get to see two of the three main girls use there superpowers which is something that more comic book movies could do with adding.
Now i couldn't find out who did the music for this film which was fine by me since the score for this film was pretty bland but i have to give the filmmakers credit for opening the movie with the Superhero Girls theme song which is actually pretty catchy and it sums up the brand nicely and they use it at the end as well altho they play the full version at the end.
Overall this is for fans of the web series and for little girls who want or already are into the brand there's alot of jokes that only girls will get as well so with all of this in mind i give this movie a 6 out of 10
