Initially I expected to hate Teen Titans stuff, when I finally got round to watching something it surprised me. It was darker than I thought it'd be and considerably funnier.Therefore going into Trouble In Tokyo I had high hopes but within the first quarter realised they were to be dashed.Make no mistake this has its moments, in fact some of gags are downright hilarious but they are far too few.It tells the story of our heroes venturing to Tokyo in search of a villian who sent a lackey to destroy their home. Once they arrive they become embroiled in a sinister plot.The whole thing looks and plays out like an anime, with those stupid over the top facial expressions that I detest and animated backgrounds during fight scenes. This doesn't work in it's favour, in fact it was detrimental.I wanted to like this but simply couldn't, besides a couple of chuckles this was a brainless purile animated effort and taking me back to my original fears regarding the Teen Titans.The Good:Some jokes are on pointGreat villianThe Bad:Why is Starfire so young?Some parts are beyond juvenileAnimation is plain goofy Plot is pretty lameThings I Learnt From This Movie:Beast Boy is Stan Marsh painted green

What a fun movie! As a fan of the Titans series since it first came on the air, it was great to see the gang get their own full-length movie. Since other reviewers will write about the plot, with spoilers included, I won't go into that here. Instead, I want to give props to WB for continuing the anime flavor that has pervaded this American series. For instance: 1. Starfire's demonic enemy looked a lot like an evil version of Astro Boy. 2. The motorcycle Robin stole from the crook's club looked similar to Kaneda's bike from "Akira", and the sideways skid at the police blockade was taken right from the movie. 3. The commander of the Tokyo Troopers was dressed exactly like Inspector Zenegada from the Lupin III series.(Dark suit, with brown trench coat & fedora)Did you also notice that at the karaoke club, one of girls in the audience was a Ganguro girl? You also see her face twice in the crowd shots. If you know what a Ganguro girl is, you will have no trouble finding her & freeze-framing the shot. Extra props to WB for showcasing this outrageous fashion sub-culture in Tokyo. If I hadn't learned about it in other anime info web sites, I wouldn't have appreciated it in the film.It would have been nice to show subtitles during some of the Japanese dialog (what did the cat girl say to Beast Boy?), but that is a minor complaint. All in all, a fun time to be had by all. For all the serious reviewers out there who want to knit-pick about small details, just shut up and enjoy yourselves! Bye for now!

**Warning: Contains some spoilers** The movie is.. well...perfect. The plot was great, the story was great, always funny and has a little romance.Well it starts with a guy driving a car who stops because some person is in the road. He shoves the car out of the way and continues running down the road. The Titans are on his trail. They stop him and of course he's says he must get back to Tokyo. This is where the Titans need to go to find out what attacked them.The movie begins. An Hour and a half later, Robin and Starfire are kissing and everything is great. I'm not going to reveal everything, but Cyborg eats... a lot. Beast Boy sings and is so-so, but Japanese girls love him and kiss kiss kiss. They love him. Robin goes to jail, Raven finds a book on Broshugon, and Starfire flirts with Robin.Yes, Robin and Starfire kiss. 3 attempts at it, but three times the charm. The first time, Robin says they are just hero's, and shouldn't be "This way". Starfire explains about kissing a Japanese boy, and she says why she kissed Robin in episode "Go". Then when Robin is saved by Starfire, they attempt it again, but the other titans interrupt. Again, Robin is attacked by the Ninja, and by the way, he's not a robot. Not even close. This ninja pulls out swords and cuts Robin and his mask. But we never get to see him without his mask in the movie :(.Anyway, he defeats him, and Robin's hands are covered in red. Japan thinks he's killed someone. Robin is put in jail, where they eventually drive him, and is attacked by the ninja's bomb. Robin says if there looking for him, then he'll have to be someone else. A guy trys to steal his money, so he takes that guy out and takes his outfit. Before we can see him without his mask, he puts on a pair of sunglasses. Cyborg is eating most of the movie.Broshogon isn't the main villain. That's all I'm going to say. They find him in the most obvious spot too.Anyway, Beast boy says he wants to go to Mexico, and Raven slaps him and the movie ends.Anyway, it was fun to watch, and since I'm a big fan, I'd have to give this movie a 10 out of 10. Teen Titans Go!

The Skibz has always been a major fan of 'Teen Titans' (mainly the series; I've never even read the old 60's DC series, but maybe because I'm just a young punk); he's seen all the episodes, read all the 'Teen Titans Go!' comics, collects a couple of little figures (purely for decorative purposes to impress the nonexistent ladies that visit his "pad")...even to the point of writing fanfic. The point *is* is that he's a fan.After five awesome seasons, 'Teen Titans' has been cancelled, and since it never really received a proper series finale, what better time than to make full-length movie, even if said movie does take place between seasons four and five? Needless to say, the Skibz had his doubts. But, despite what he believed, he lined up 90 minutes early on July 22nd in order to see the world premiere of 'Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo', with about 2,500 other rabid fans. After a brief introduction by Glen Murakami, David Slack, and the obviously stoned Greg Cipes, the film began.Standing...ovation.Yes, 'Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo' meets every expectation that one would have towards an awesome 'Teen Titans' movie. The Skibz shall now review it.The plot...the plot is thus: A mysterious, seemingly indestructible superninja called PsychoTech attacks the Titans's city, bombing the hell out of everything, including Titans Tower. Having captured him, the gang learns that it is, in fact, a *Japanese* ninja (who'd-a thunkit?), who confesses that he was sent by a figure known as 'Brushogun', right before he vanishes into thin air. The Titans decide to take matters into their own hands and take a trip to Tokyo and find this 'Brushogun', much to the dismay of Beast Boy and Cyborg, who wish the trip to be nothing more than a much-needed vacation. Upon arriving, they are met by a shady detective (I don't remember his name) and his army of supercops, who informs the team that 'Brushogun' is nothing more than an urban legend, and that they are better off just going back home. But the Titans are not to be brushed off that easily, so they go their separate ways to find out more about the mysterious villain known as 'Brushogun'; a quest that just might cost them their lives. But who cares about that? The *real* plot of this movie is the relationship between Robin and Starfire, and what exactly is to become of said relationship. I'm not going to give a definitive answer, because The Skibz ain't no stoolie, but I will definitely state that the immortal question 'Will Robin and Starfire ever get together' is finally answered.Anyhoo, this film is more than just a longer version of an episode. The plot is much more complex and thematic than you would find on television. The art is beautiful; the Tokyo backdrops are particularly pretty. Um...what else? Well, it's just simply pure 'Teen Titans'; a perfect ending to an amazing show. The movie is not without it's flaws, however. The first half-hour is particularly heavy with the comedy and the wacky animation, it puts off the actual plot for too long (however, it also happens to have some of the funniest moments the show's ever had; for instance, Starfire striking a 'Sailor Moon' pose, Beast Boy singing a badly translated karaoke version of the theme song, and "Super Twinkle Donkey Gum"). Another flaw, although I don't think anyone would mind, is that parts of it are really predictable; you know who the bad guy is from the first couple minutes, but it didn't really distract me or take me out of the movie. A strong point of 'Teen Titans' has always been the characters and their development. In 'Trouble In Tokyo', Robin and Starfire are really the only touched upon and the only ones to show any emotion. Cyborg and Beast Boy are really only there for comic relief, and Raven probably has the least amount of screen time, but I'm trying not to complain...it was a very entertaining movie. And I have two personal problems: one, doesn't anybody find it really creepy that Beast Boy tries to have relationships with *human* women? I just think...ew. And two, what else am I going to watch now that 'T.T.' is off the air? The new season of 'The Batman' looks promising...I have to keep this review short, so I'll sum it all up in a quote a guy who sat behind me said: "Dude, this is f***ing brilliant". This is a magnificent addition to the 'Teen Titans' franchise, and will definitely not disappoint fans of the series.
