Review: The Legion of Super-Heroes Movie Alternates Between Moving and Messy
The latest DC Universe animated feature film, Legion of Super-Heroes, has a lot going for it -- but some baffling creative decisions hurt the movie and are likely to leave audiences scratching their heads. The movie centers on the relationship between Supergirl (Meg Donnelly) and Brainiac-5 (Harry Shum Jr.), who spar both literally and figuratively after they are both inducted into a Legion of Super-Heroes training program in the 31st Century. With the "classic" Legion members aged up, treated as advisers to the program and largely absent from the film, it's up to a group of Legion wannabes (including Supergirl, Brainy, Mon-El, Triplicate Girl, and Arm-Fall-Off-Boy) to rise to the occasion and save the universe.
