DC League of Super Pets is a new Warner Bros Animated film and sees Krypto the Super Dog (Dwayne Johnson) who is Superman’s (John Krasinski) best friend but when he and the other members of the Justice League are captured by Lex Luthor (Marc Maron), he has to find help with other pets who have been granted super powers to help save the day and his friend.
League of Super Pets is fine, its nothing unremarkable but its also not as bad as I thought it would be either and I frankly thought that this would be awful especially after seeing the previews for this movie for what felt like months.
And the main reason for this is actually the Superman moments in this film, Johnson and Co are fine in their roles and him and Kevin Hart do their usual comedy routine that they’ve done elsewhere but Krasinski makes for a pretty decent Superman and watching those moments in this movie made me yearn all the more for a proper live action Superman film that would prove itself worthy of the legacy of Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve who’s first 2 films with the character still remain the benchmark for me.
As for the rest of the film it’s the usual fare that will get kids in during the school holidays, it has colourful animation, plenty of action moments and jokes and a big voice cast full of people that kids and adults will recognise as the voices and again it is nowhere as bad as how it sounds but its not really anything more than just a fun 100 odd minutes at the movies during the school holidays.
And so that was DC League of Super Pets and its fine on the whole but the Superman moments made it work more than the rest of it did so a 2 out of 5 from me.
