I just got finished watching it, and yeah, it wasn't good. Bruce Timm put out a stinker. More New 52 stinkers otw. This isn't looking good.
 * On a technical level, this film looked awful, like all the other recent animated films. The same guy who does the character work for YJ works on this, but I don't know what the hell happened. Blue Beetle (mask off) is ugly as sin! The animation itself is poor and stiff, and you can see instances where it's "glitching".
 * Beast Boy is annoying as hell. His advances towards Terra are creepy, but he's supposed to come off as enduring? His speech about her at the end doesn't even compute, seeing as Terra spent most of the film verbally abusing him, manipulating him, and then tries to get the Titans killed. Even when Slade betrays her, she doesn't "come around" to the team, she's just enraged and trying to murder him.
 * However, I thought the banter between Slade and Robin was "cute". As a whole, the voice work on this is terrible, but I liked Robin's vo. And I guess Christina Rici was good also. RIP Miguel.
 * Again, overboard with the "adult material". As a matter of fact, it's obnoxious from the onset. "We need to let everyone know that this is 'adult'. Write all the sex jokes you can think of!"
 * Dick and Starfire's relationship shouldn't be a focus of this movie. It goes nowhere thematically and just fluffs the movie with more cringe sex jokes. The opening could have instead been expanded on Terra's backstory since she is, or I think she is, the main character of the story!
 * This doofus Brother Blood was supposed to be a threat?
 * Why not kill all of the Titans when he had them strapped to his energy contraption?! He said himself that they didn't need to be alive for the process to work. Who wrote this?!

I'm done with DC films until further notice.
