The GuardianMike McCahillAug 14, 2018
A handful of jokes in this minipop Ragnarok, like the crack at Gene Hackman’s role in the 1978 Superman, land at the exact sweet spot where fond fanboy scholarship meets sublime goofiness. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinAug 9, 2018
Teen Titans Go! To The Movies may be unflaggingly daft, but outright silliness is rarely this smart. Read full review

EmpireHelen O'HaraAug 6, 2018
Smart and stupid in equal measure, this is a palate cleanser after the doom and gloom of Justice League. The Titans could make you fall back in love with the entire DC Universe. Read full review

Village VoiceSimon AbramsAug 1, 2018
Most of the gags in this pandering spoof are about their own schematic nature — they’re jokes about how you’re smarter than the jokes. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyDana SchwartzJul 27, 2018
The meta jokes flow like Mountain Dew — this is a rollicking, goofy superhero send-up that never overstays its welcome. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleCarla MeyerJul 27, 2018
Teen Titans never reaches that sweet spot where adult and kid humor align in a single gag. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJul 26, 2018
The animation’s so flat, static and dull it relies on brighter-than-bright sparkly colors to make it pop. Like “Power Puff Girls” or “My Little Pony.” The jokes are infantile-obvious and pounded home with a sledgehammer, as if the writers figured they had to get through something especially thick.

VoxGenevieve KoskiJul 26, 2018
Its kid-friendly, free-for-all spirit rides atop an undercurrent of pointed commentary about the state of the superhero industry (and the entertainment industry more broadly) that will give those parental guides something to hold on to amid the candy-colored cacophony. Or they could just surrender and enjoy the butt jokes. They’re pretty good butt jokes! Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangJul 26, 2018
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is loud, cheery and fairly relentless in its assault on your rib cage. The pleasingly rudimentary visual design, all bright colors and madly expressive eyebrows, is no more and no less than what the material requires. Read full review

Film Journal InternationalRebecca PahleJul 26, 2018
Ultimately, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is fun enough, if unmemorable. If you’re not already invested in the property, you probably won’t find enough in it to make it worth your time. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Marsha LedermanJul 26, 2018
This is a show that adults can more than merely tolerate; I am happy to binge-watch it with my nine-year-old. Read full review

The New York TimesKen JaworowskiJul 26, 2018
It’s an amusing tale for young audiences, ending with the expected messages about friendship and courage. But there are delights for adults as well, particularly in the first half, with sendups of various comic book series (some aimed at DC’s own arch-nemesis, Marvel) and an extra-large supply of spoofs on other movies.

Slant MagazineKeith WatsonJul 25, 2018
Peter Rida Michail and Aaron Horvath's Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is a spastic, Mad magazine-style parody of comic-book movies for the age of superhero overload. Read full review

Austin ChronicleMatthew MonagleJul 25, 2018
Packed with an equal amount of fart gags and jokes about the modern state of superhero films, Teen Titans is a perfect bit of escapism for families suffering from superhero fatigue. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakJul 25, 2018
This film leans hard into its irreverence, knowingly sacrificing mystery and twists for foolproof laughs. Read full review

Arizona RepublicSamantha IncorvaiaJul 25, 2018
With bright colors and jokes that are delivered quicker than you can process them, kids will enjoy this. Even though there are overwhelming changes in animation style, it's never boring to look at. Read full review

The A.V. ClubSam BarsantiJul 23, 2018
Go To The Movies is for kids who like bright colors and wacky humor, certainly, but it’s also targeted directly at the sort of superhero nerd who would catch a reference like that. Read full review

ScreenCrushMatt SingerJul 23, 2018
Although Teen Titans Go! to the Movies is ostensibly about spoofing superheroes and their hoariest clichés, the film is loaded from top to bottom with loving Easter eggs from DC Comics history.... As a result, it’s actually a far more affectionate portrait of comic books — and a more persuasive argument in favor of their escapist pleasures — than any of the so-called “serious” DC movies.

RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoJul 23, 2018
It’s an infectiously goofy film, but also deceptively smart about why we love comic book heroes and the amount of stupidity we’re willing to accept within the genre. Read full review

VarietyOwen GleibermanJul 22, 2018
The movie’s message, if it has one, is that you don’t have to be super to be a superhero. Teen Titans GO! is fun in a defiantly unsuper way, and that’s a recommendation. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckJul 22, 2018
Although obviously geared to the small fry who will no doubt eat it up, Teen Titans Go! To the Movies will provide many laughs for their adult chaperones as well. Read full review

IGNLaura PrudomJul 22, 2018
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is bonkers in the best way - a gleefully weird, frequently witty ride that has no desire to take itself - or any other superhero movie - too seriously. Read full review

The Associated PressMark KennedyJul 22, 2018
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies is the sort of silly film you and your kids can both enjoy, a slice of pure escapist fare in these divisive days. Read full review

TheWrapAlonso DuraldeJul 22, 2018
Teen Titans GO! to the Movies never wears out its welcome, from the hilarious skewering of some of DC’s most sacred cows (Kryptonite, Crime Alley) to a range of musical numbers that include an 80s-style you-can-do-it anthem (compete with sax solo) and hip-hop-flavored self-aggrandizement.

Teen Titans Go! To the Movies is one of the biggest surprises at the movies this summer. In fact, it’s downright super. Read full review
