At the Movies w/ Robert & Ingrid: DC League of Super Pets (Spoiler Review)

Well that happened sooner than I expected. A double review of DC League of Super Pets (and it's worthy of it I assure you) As Ingrid joins me to do a take two on our thoughts of this wonderful movie

She and I went in expecting a dumb popcorn comedy but what we got was a very well made wholesome adventure! I mean it's written and directed by one of the guys who did the Lego Batman Movie so it's to be expected!

The Three stand outs are Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as Krypto, Kevin Hart as Ace, and Kate McKinnon as Lulu the Guiana Pig. There are other characters that do great jobs too but these three steal the show! Kevin is not a joke character here. There's a lot of depth to Ace and he has such a tragic back story that's NOT a joke or a spoof on Batmans! Kate is just chewing the scenery as Lulu but is my favorite type of comedic villain...the ones that are still menacing and competent! And Dwayne nails that balance of being a superhero but, well, still a dog.

The other characters are well done too but if you're expecting comic accurate you'll be disappointed. I say this. Go in knowing the creators involved were clearly die hard DC fans but also beloved Pet owners too (you should see the Studio Pets part of the credits)

Krypto the Super-Dog and Superman are inseparable best friends, sharing the same superpowers and fighting crime side by side in Metropolis. However, when the Man of Steel and the rest of the Justice League are kidnapped, Krypto must convince a ragtag group of animals to master their own newfound powers for a rescue mission.
