About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a loud, goofy, kid-friendly adventure with nonstop gags and a superhero-flavored finale; Not for you if you dislike mean-spirited moments, gross-out humor, or extra-silly plotting like Trolls.

Pros: fast, goofy adventure; lots of laughs; fun superhero twist | Cons: uneven tone; gross-out jokes; story gets chaotic
