Legion of Super-Heroes
SCORE: 71
On one of our recent movie nights Noah and I watched Legion of
Super-Heroes. I am thankful we had the money to purchase a copy of this
movie on Blu-ray. I have no idea why the PR and Marketing folks
representing this product failed us so miserably. There will be spoilers
in this review of the Legion of Super-Heroes animated movie.
The issues families can have with Legion of Super-Heroes are violence,
blood, bad language, and more. There is plenty of humor within Legion of
Super-Heroes. Supergirl is having issues adjusting to Earth in the 21st
century. Superman takes her to the 31st century to be trained by the
Legion of Super-Heroes. One of her big mistakes was to attack Brainiac 5
at the beginning. She falls for Mon-El at first in Legion of
Super-Heroes.
Supergirl and Brainiac 5 actually become a couple in Legion of
Super-Heroes. She is strong and he is smart. Together they make a pretty
good team. They are able to uncover who is actually behind the Dark
Circle in Legion of Super-Heroes. It turns out that the original
Brainiac has a group of secret minions that have been taking care of him
for the last century. In fact the Dark Circle is shown attacking Star
Labs in the past in Legion of Super-Heroes as well.
There is one disturbing scene where we see Brainiac used the bodies of
his clones to build his new body. They decided to try and separate from
him to take control of a machine that can change reality. Each of them
wants to take control of the device. The battle between them tears apart
Brainiac’s body in Legion of Super-Heroes. Kara realizes she could bring
Krypton back if she wanted to. Brainiac 5 convinces her to do the right
thing instead.
The post credits scene in Legion of Super-Heroes is very interesting.
Superman and Batman find a crater in Metropolis. Then a beam comes down
and teleports them somewhere. I am not sure what movie followed this one
that connected that. Maybe it was the Justice League Warworld. There are
plenty of interesting bonus features found in Legion of Super-Heroes.
The bonus features are The Legion Behind the Legion, Down to Earth The
Story of Supergirl, Meet the Legionnaires, Brainiac Attack The Intellect
Behind the Super-Villain, and more. We actually enjoyed watching Legion
of Super-Heroes.
